    Service was pretty terrible and this is not the 1st time we have had this experience at this location. Server came and took our order and brought out ordered items and then I had to go get my own refills at the bar myself, twice. Luckily the food is awesome or we would most likely not ever come back here. Just don't expect to get good service or service quickly.

    Our experience at Bakersfield was just ok. The service was very slow. The food was average. What we thought would be easy before catching a show (with early reservations) had us running to our venue. Reservations were very early before the show.

    Good value for decent tacos and sides. Excellent drinks however I didn’t see dessert options to celebrate a birthday event. Seating arrangements could be better. Felt like we were sharing dinner and conversation with the next table

    Food and service were great! When my tacos came out one of them was wrong and before I had a chance to say anything my server came out with the correct taco because he recognized he ordered one of them wrong. Great stop before heading to the symphony!

    We went to eat with our family after the Straight No Chaser show. We got seated quickly, our server Daisha (sp) was awesome! So attentive, got our drink order in right away. Food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. Thank you Daisha for your excellent service!
