Booked a birthday dinner last minute which I was grateful for considering our party was 10+. The restaurant is lively with live music and very loud, I actually enjoy that. Food was good, drinks were hit and miss and service definitely took a while considering the amount of people. Overall it was a good experience and will continue to return and recommend to others.

My salmon was raw when I received. I asked for them to re-do. They never came back with the new salmon and I had to wait for 20 minutes. The waitress did not check in and and one e she knew I was upset, she avoided my table. I had to ask the manager to come over and she made nothing but excuses. The salmon finally came and was over done with a huge slab of frozen butter on top of. Horrible experience. I have been here many, many times over the years. Really their service is slow and not good at all.

Stefanie was amazing!! She was on top of our refills, great at suggestions items from the menu, or just helping us decide on what to order. She has a great personality. We haven't had such overall great service recently, so we appreciated her attention to detail and promptness.

We were there for 3 1/2 hours due to extremely slow service. Food was cold. Orders were incorrect. Kept hearing there were large parties but zero concern for refilling our drinks or bringing our food. Had to ask three times for the check. Completely horrible experience

I’m from LA and a couple clients of mine suggested the place. I was pleasantly surprised and loved the live music and the cool vibe. The food was beyond amazing and the price was even better. I would highly recommend this place and if it were in LA I would go on a regular basis. This is my favorite restaurant in Bakersfield.
