What an incredible dinner. Every course had so much flavor and depth. From the beautiful custom pottery they use to the custom silverware. Not a detail is overlooked. We have been to some Michelin star restaurants before and left not satisfied. Six Test Kitchen is the absolute opposite of that. A delight for all the senses. I can’t recommend enough. Our friend V Carroll told us we had to go and she was right! Thanks for the wonderful night

Our experience at Six Test Kitchen was incredible. I get wary visiting Michelin star restaurants because some of them are “too creative,” might be pretentious, or not have enough food. But Six Test Kitchen was none of those things. Everyone was super welcoming. Even though the service was premium and meticulous, the staff (including the chef) still made you feel relaxed and comfortable. Every dish was the perfect balance between familiar ingredients and creativity while making sure it tasted great. We had the wine pairing and it was worth the extra $$. Each wine complemented the dishes so well and added the extra layer/complexity.

Definitely the worst Michelin Star restaurant I’ve been to- the food was bland and some was outright inedible/did not taste good at all. Not inventive or unique food. Very few courses and very limited alcohol menu. Definitely NOT worth the $700 check in any capacity. We were starving after and can’t believe this has a Michelin Star due to the low food quality and atmosphere.

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!
I’m concerned about Six Test Kitchen’s use of ingredients from the community garden in Templeton. While a volunteer may have given permission for their staff to take some ingredients, it appears they are exceeding that permission. They’ve been harvesting more than what seems reasonable, taking from multiple plots, which affects the garden's long-term sustainability. This practice raises concerns about profiting from a community resource without contributing anything meaningful in return.
It’s also worth noting that this isn’t the first time Six Test Kitchen has faced similar concerns. They were previously asked to leave another community garden in SLO for comparable behavior. If you want to support businesses that respect local resources and operate with transparency, I would recommend considering other options in the area that contribute to the community rather than taking advantage of it.

Now I understand how they earned their Michelin star. The service was impeccable, the wine was paired perfectly & the food was, course by course, an adventure into a roller coaster flavors, textures & presentations. My wife was adventurous & wound up enjoying things that she would have never tried in years past. Thank you to Ricky & his team for making a wonderful experience.

This was a great tasting menu. It had a variety of flavors and textures, and a few courses that really were layered, and made you think about it. We didn't get the wine pairing, but some neighbors did and it looked fantastic. My wife declared it her favorite tasting menu so far (we've done quite a few).
Service was exceptional, questions were asked and well answered. The head chef was there to answer questions as well. I left full, but not overly so.
Price for the food was reasonable, given circumstances I think. I won't go in to individual dishes, but I am attaching pics of all courses.

The food quality was terrible and the service was cold and unfriendly. The meat courses were barely distinguishable from each other— hard to believe that this got a Michelin star. The meal was nowhere near worth the price. Additionally, we felt judged for not ordering the wine pairing, and there were no nonalcoholic options.
