14 Best American Restaurants in Paso Robles

“What an incredible dinner! The food was some of the best I've ever eaten, highlighting the bounty of the local farms. One dish I'll never forget was an egg custard with the silkiest texture possible, topped with corn that tasted like summer itself and bacon with the perfect amount of smokiness. The wine pairing was fantastic, with wines from local producers and from afar, always perfectly complementing each course.

But what really sets Six Test Kitchen apart is the accessibility of the team and the space. Because they do a lot of the prep right there in front of the counter, there was a lot more opportunity to have a conversation about the food, learn about the techniques, and hear the story of how each dish came together than in most restaurants of this caliber. A world class meal, with smaller-town pacing and friendliness. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“The food is unique. They have options of getting small servings of dishes in groups of trios and quartets so you can taste a larger variety. The salads and brussel sprouts we ate were too good. The carrot soup was super yum. The aioli served with the fries was to die for.“

“My husband and I were visiting the area on our honeymoon in Paso. We came across this gem! I had a grilled chicken salad with purple cauliflower and Farro. No joke, that was the best salad I've ever had!!! our honeymoon was 5 months ago, and I still think about this salad almost daily... I'm extremely impressed by this restaurant by wowing me the first go round. If I was local, I'd eat there a few times a week.“
