“Beautiful wine in a rustic welcoming setting. This is a must see💕”
“Six Test Kitchen - A Culinary and Oenological Gem!
My experiences at Six Test Kitchen are truly exceptional, especially thanks to the remarkable Christian Davy, the Wine Director. It's clear that Christian brings not just expertise, but a genuine passion for wine to the table.
He came on board at Six Test Kitchen thanks to Chef Ricky Odbert, & he's been instrumental in crafting an incredible wine program. I was particularly impressed with the thought put into the two distinct wine pairing options: a standard pairing and a reserve list. This offers fantastic flexibility depending on your preference and budget.
Christian's ability to perfectly complement Chef Odbert's innovative nine-course menu is outstanding. His commitment to finding such rare gems ensures a memorable and exclusive experience. Christian Davy elevates the dining experience at Six Test Kitchen to an art form. His selections are not just pairings; they are integral to the culinary journey, enhancing every bite. Highly recommend!”
“Food was great! Soul food is deluxe, try it all. My friend said best chili he ever had. Generous portions, crispy not greasy, wonderful customer service, thanks Dubs!”

“Delicious and creative plant-based food combining great flavor with heart. I love the spicy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, the black bean taquitos, the Avalon burger with arugula and vegan Gouda cheese (!), and the avocado taco! Want to try everything on the menu! 5-stars for flavor, creativity, service, and location! Love Ziggy’s!!”

“Janis could not have been more hospitable to our group. We not only came away with great wine but we also learned a lot about farming grapes, making wine and our own tastebuds.”

“We had a truly memorable anniversary dinner at The Restaurant at Justin. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was exquisite—highlights included the halibut crudo, lamb, pasta, and a series of creative and delicious amuse-bouche selections. The kitchen was also incredibly thoughtful and accommodating of our dietary needs.Dessert was equally impressive, providing a perfect finale. What truly elevated the evening, though, was the wine pairing—easily the best I’ve ever experienced. Each selection was thoughtfully chosen and complemented the dishes with precision and elegance.The service was just as outstanding as the food. The servers were warm, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable. They introduced each course with care, explained the ingredients and preparation beautifully, and ensured perfect timing throughout the meal. Their genuine hospitality made us feel truly welcomed.
Chef Rachel’s artistry with fresh ingredients shone through in every dish, and truly justifies the Michelin star. The harmony of flavors and presentation reflected a high level of craft and creativity. A phenomenal experience from beginning to end—highly recommended, and can not wait to go back!”
“An umami pairing experience with LXV Wine and Bakersfield’s Noodle Bar. LXV owners and the chef from Noodle Bar matched the wines and meals perfectly👌🏼Pairings with LXV Wine is a must do experience!”

“Friendly staff, a pup to greet you and reasonably priced for a flight. I’m a sweet cider fan and all they have is dry but the slushy (watermelon flavor) was fantastic! I’d personally like smaller tastes and more to taste than bigger tastes with fewer to select. More like 6-2 ounce than 4-3 ounce. Just my personal preference!”
“Everyone at Pius Estates is so helpful and communicate so well, but more importantly, have the best wines in a relaxing environment, and you must order their charcuterie boards. Greg does the best wine tasting ever and don't miss it. You'll be truly delighted. Be happy drink Pius.”
“The menu, quality, and execution are a tiny bit different from the highly-regarded Goshi in San Luis Obispo, but somewhat generally the same and not as crowded or hard to get a table.”
“I buy all of my spices and teas here-everything is so delicious! And I always find extra gourmet goodies and gifts. They’re weekly salad specials are beautiful and healthy too!”

“We visited Sculpterra yesterday for a tasting. Our hotel recommended them due to their gardens and good wines. We had such an enjoyable visit with Kat. Kat was the most fun person we have run across in ages. Thanks to Kat for a great tasting!
The wines are all so delicious. It was hard to decide which we liked best because they were all so tasty! I especially love a Grenache and theirs is absolutely fantastic! We will keep ordering from Sculpterra!”
“First time coming here the other night . I have to say the service was top notched and our waiter was great . I had the lasagna it was delicious . My mother had the eggplant Parmesan and she said it was really good and my dad had the special something with sausage and that was really good as well . If you like Italian food you must come try them they are in tin city Paso .definitely will be back”
“Sixteen Years of Love & Legacy—A Toast to Us and to Nicora
Celebrating 16 years of Nicora Wines while honoring our own 16-year anniversary made this experience truly unforgettable. It was more than a tasting—it was a tribute to passion, partnership, and the beauty of things that age with grace.
Elissa was phenomenal. Her warmth, insight, and genuine hospitality turned each pour into a story, each moment into a memory. She didn’t just guide us through the wines—she celebrated with us, making our milestone feel seen and cherished.
✨ Standout Sips:
• Denner Vineyard Viognier 2022: A radiant opener—lush, floral, and beautifully balanced. Sunshine in a glass.
•Euphoric 2022: True to its name, this 100% Grenache was a revelation. Silky on the palate, emotionally resonant, and bursting with expressive depth—it delivered joy in every pour. A celebration captured in liquid form.
• GSM Blend 2022: Bold yet nuanced, with layers that linger. A masterclass in blending and depth.
• Slide Hill Vineyard 2022: My first taste—and wow. A vibrant, terroir-driven gem that left a lasting impression.
From the first pour to the final toast, Nicora’s legacy of craftsmanship and heart was on full display. And in the glow of our own 16-year journey, every glass felt like a love letter—to resilience, to connection, and to the joy of shared celebration.
Here’s to Nicora. Here’s to us. And here’s to many more vintages—and years—worth celebrating.”
“Wine, atmosphere, customer service, and a great family story!”
“Really enjoyable tasting experience on a Saturday morning!
We were a group of 4 looked after by Carly for a tasting. The tasting room is new and luxurious, with thoughtful spacing amongst groups and nice views over the vineyards. Importantly, the wines are a treat to try, with the progression through varietals well done. another highlight was the service, which was warm and fun!
We were lucky to get a tour of the underground cave with Tyler, which includes a tasting room and barrel storage. It’s an amazing space and Tyler was a lot of fun
Thanks to the whole team for a lovely day out!”
“We had an outstanding tasting experience at Torrin, and Allie was an exemplary host. The personalized tasting menu was a wonderful touch, one we always appreciate when visiting wineries as it's a great indication that customer service is at the forefront of their operation in addition to wine quality. The wines and setting were second to none, and we had the opportunity to try a spectacular library pinot noir from 2015 that is coming home with us. We can't wait to try their Paso estate wines when they're available -- we will definitely be back!”
“Just had an amazing experience at Eberle. Kirk, our tasting guide, possessed a wealth of knowledge about the vineyard and its history. He could not have been more entertaining, informative, and just generous with his time and tasting! Thoroughly enjoyed all the wines- all the reds have elegance and depth- but are less in your face than some California reds,but so smooth, lovely and enjoyable. We will be back!! In the day and age when everywhere is reservations only and super pricey, Eberle is a breath of fresh air- with years of quality to back up their stellar reputation.”
“My spouse and I visited Calcareous in mid-March for a Cabernet tasting that was out of this world. We tasted a variety of wines from different vintages that were all outstanding. Each was beautifully made and are a great value for their price point. Our host, Nate, explained the wine characteristics, production details, and winery history. He expertly answered endless questions about the local wine community and other wine trivia. The whole experience was just great.”
“Cute little winery! Staff is very friendly. Did two wine flights that paired AMAZINGLY WELL with the salmon! The salmon was by the far our favorite!! Seasoned so well, paired so well with wines and incredibly delicious!!!”
“Great food and hospitable service. I highly recommend. My only suggestion would be to turn down the music, and don’t aim cleansing spray toward customers while they’re eating. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying the terrific food. I suggest the Loco Roll.”
“Super bomb. I wish I would have taken pictures. My kids ordered the birthday cake Oreo cookie. And me and my husband ordered their strawberry shortcake crumble one . Like the ice cream. It was so amazing 😍🤤🤤”

“We wanted a place in Paso Robles near the freeway that we could stop and have pizza on the way home from seeing Hearst Castle with our family. Well not only did we find a pizza place, we found a really good one and from the amount of business they where doing on a Wednesday evening I would say many people agree! It is locally owned and operated by friendly, helpful people who know how to make great food. Now if only they would open one in the Fresno/Clovis area.”
“Great tasting experience with Stan. Exotic wines and incredible ports.”
“The grounds and picturesque Mountain View’s are exceptional!! Service and food were awesome!! Wine 🍷 was top tier!! Thank you for a great time and experience 💯”

“It’s one of the best wine bars in San Luis Obispo county offering a wide array of domestic and international wines by the bottle or by the glass. I find the prices to be competitive and the bartenders very knowledgeable with their craft. I highly recommend this lace to anyone who wants to sample local Paso Robles and international wines. Don’t take my word for it, come and visit soon.”
“Great food at reasonable prices. Our group of 17 visited during Labor Day weekend after 1ish and we were seated promptly. Our server made great recommendations and our drinks were ice cold! Our entrees were hot, delicious and everyone was satisfied! We will be back!”
“We had such an amazing time at Alpha Omega’s tasting room in Paso Robles! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, but what really stood out was our host, Justin. He guided us through a side-by-side tasting that wasn’t just about sipping wine, but about understanding it. He explained the differences across vineyard sites, walked us through the nuances in the wines, and made the whole experience both educational and enjoyable.
What made it unforgettable, though, was Justin himself—professional, charismatic, and genuinely engaging. He had that rare ability to make the wines shine even brighter with his knowledge and energy. And honestly, being very easy on the eyes didn’t hurt either—the wine somehow tasted even better! If you’re in Paso, Alpha Omega should definitely be on your list, and if Justin is your guide, you’re in for something truly special.”

“The Crimson Cue is a wonderful billiards club that not only offers large, well lighted tables with felt that is like new, they also polish the balls regularly. They also offer darts and shuffleboard, and they have several chess sets and a few regulars who might just play you!
The owners, Erik and Abbi, have put so much thought, energy and care into making Crimson Cue a welcoming place for everyone who walks through the door. I went a few times with my son, but neither of us knew much about pool when we started. Erik has helped us learn the fundamentals and several other regulars have offered us ongoing tips so we can both improve our games. It truly feels like a home away from home. They are always friendly and helpful.
It doesn’t matter if you are a local or only in town for the weekend - there is a place for you for here! Just want to have a good time on a date night during a vacation weekend in Paso? Try this out! You will not regret it. Or are you a local looking to learn pool and find a fun community of people who are really into it? Then you can’t miss Crimson Cue. They make it really affordable and always a happy, relaxed vibe.
I can’t recommend them enough! ❤️🎱”
“If you want a good sandwich, Savage Spirits & Deli is the place to go. I went in there late after they closed the kitchen expressing my dismay that I could not find a good sandwich in Paso Robles. The young lady working behind the counter said as long as you don’t want it heated I’ll make you any sandwich you want. She proceeded to make me an Italian sandwich that I must say is one of the very best that I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!”
“Delightful restaurant and delicious ethnic food prepared they way it should be. My only comment would be to make sure their beef taco is carne asada because mine came with stewed beef which was good but not what I had expected. Otherwise, the atmosphere and service was optimum! Thank you!”
“Great place for breakfast in Paso Robles. You know it's good if a lot of locals are there too! Cowboy ambiance. Good breakfast comfort food, friendly service and homemade salsa. Yup, beverages like iced tea and OJ are served in Mason jars. Strong coffee. Nothing fancy, just good ol' American breakfast plates. Dog friendly on the outside.”
“The backyard is the perfect spot in town. Locals love it and so do tourists. The food is great and the beer is wonderful! They’re always switching it up and have tons of events. The owners are some pf the kindest people around and their staff is a reflection of them. I love coming here with friends for a get together, with family so the kids can play and enjoy themselves, and they’re pet friendly :)”
“Made a pit stop at Paso Robles, and I thought, some hot noodle soup sound good for a cold weather. I was kinda skeptic 🤨 thinking it’s a Thai restaurant and not Vietnamese. But it did not disappoint. The broth alone was tasty. A single serving can feed two. And I like how they served on the side, generous amount of basil, Mung bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeño (for added kick).”
“The view, the wine 🍷, the staff (Angie) courteous, kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and amazing. 100% will be returning. Thank you.
P.s affordable and reasonable”
“Wonderful time with my bride wine tasting - all the way from Maine. Nice place to visit and chill out for a couple hours.”
“We did a wine and spirits tasting. Service was beyond expectation and the wine and spirits were wonderful. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend others to give it a try..”

“This is our first Winery Tour ever, and Austin Hope was the first winery of our day, so we didn't really know what to expect. Upon arrival, were warmly greeted with a glass of white wine, then escorted to a corner cabana with the backdrop of the vineyard! At first, I was a bit hesitant seating outside because it was March and this year has been unusually cold, but the hostess assured me that they had heat lamps and blankets. Sure enough, with the beautiful flame heat lamp and the soft warm blanket, we were comfortable and cozy, and settled into a wonderful experience. I forgot who was our server, but she was very knowledgeable about the wines, and also personable and caring. She make sure that we were comfortable, and our young daughter had sparkling water in her wine glass so she could (kind of) participate with us. I highly recommend their Charcuterie tray, which has a great assortment of wine, meats and nuts. I love how our server explained the wine at each pour, then leave us ample time to enjoy the glass and talk. She also brought us handwarmers to keep our hands warm. There were so many small caring touches that truly made our first winery tasting experience so wonderful. I'm not much of a wine person, but I ended up loving their wine too. After our tasting at Austin Hope, the other wineries just couldn't compare. Thank you very much for a first winery experience that I will never forget. I will definitely be back!”
“We've been coming here so often that they started remembering what we liked to order. The stout is good and not heavy so I can drink a whole pint and not be dizzy in the slightest. The cheese curds are awesome with the ranch sauce they make. I usually get the wagu burger and add bacon/avocado to the burger. They cook it medium rare and it melts in your mouth. The chicken strips are well seasoned. We love the tacos. The establishment has only been open for a short while and I really already like coming here. We usually get a couple krowlers to go of the stout which they can do with any of their beers on tap.”

“We stopped here for lunch and loved it. We had the watermelon mint and regular margarita and we both agreed that while both were tasty, the watermelon was the winner (they use fresh juice and agave and you can tell these are very well made). For the tacos, the fish tacos with mango fell short for us, so we ordered extra of the short rib tacos which were divine - so juicy and tender. We will definitely return in the future to try some of their other choices. Shoutout to our waitress Kylie who was super sweet from the very beginning!”

“Amazing cocktails. Wonderful staff and amazing atmosphere. Would advise to anyone looking for unique drinks with informative staff. Staff is always more than happy to share how and what is in the cocktails if you are like me a cocktail enthusiast. 5 out 5 from me.”

“Amazing! Take a trip to Basque/Spain here ... moreso than anywhere I've found between SLO and SF. Pintxos, Jamón ibérico, and Gilda's! Great vibe and even better service! I sat at the bar and Sydney provided great recommendations! Eating here brought my mind back to my trip to Spain!”
“Carole and her husband have created magic at Parchetto, wow!! The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is ridiculously delicious. For the owner to have another restaurant under her belt, and still make time to get to know me and share her story, that is what relationship building is all about! I can't wait to come back for their brunch. Please make it a point to visit this great establishment. I will return!”
