    Chicken wrapped in bacon with potatoes.
    Jesus B.

    A friend came to visit us and wanted to try the restaurant at the padre as he had heard good things. My wife has been here before but only in the bar area and this was my first time. The bar was packed but the restaurant itself was pretty empty. (Side note, the floor is carpeted. I am not a fan of carpet in restaurants. I feel like it can't possibly be as clean as tile but any-who) Can't really say much about the wine or drinks menu since I am usually the driver and a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. There are 2 menus, one is for the steaks and one contains information on their other dishes that varied from duck, chicken, lamb, etc. Our friend got the steak, my wife got the lamb shank and I played it safe with the chicken. Chicken was excellent. It is wrapped in bacon and placed over a bed of roasted potatoes. My wife loved her shank. It came with lentils and carrots and was so tender you didn't even need a knife. (I wasn't a fan of it. Not really a lamb guy) My friend loved his steak too. Service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. For all 3 meals it was 100$ before tip. The food was pretty good and it was a nice place to come to , have a nice dinner and chat. It wasn't the best I have ever had and it's a little pricey. Parking can also be a PITA on a Friday night but they do offer valet.

    So I recently started to eat healthier , I know I know bad time to be a yelper lol. But was really craving steak and some one on one time with the wifey. Was looking for something other then the typical chain steakhouse places in town and happened upon the Belvedere Room. We decided to give it a try after seeing the reviews. Omg,the wifey and I were not disappointed! I made reservations using the open table app , but arrived early with the intentions of "pre gaming " it. We came up to the hostess podium and he's said we could be seated right away. So we took the bait and we're glad we did. Our experience from beginning to end was phenomenal. We started off with a few drinks. My wife had some champagne and I followed with a old fashion. Both came in a timely manner and both we're really delicious. My old fashion was made perfectly just the way I like it. And the Brut selection was on point. We then proceeded to order. I had the 16 oz ribeye medium with asapargus and charred brussel sprouts, the sauce I chose was the red wine Demi which was fabulous. My wife had the salmon that was crusted with pistachio and sided with fingerling potatoes and asapargus. My steak was perfectly cooked topped with mushrooms ( that weren't on the menu ) but the waitress accommodated my request and the chef delivered. The Brussel sprouts were charred with a hint of balsamic vinegar and my asapargus cooked to perfection. My wife's salmon came out perfectly cooked and the sides my wife said were delicious. Overall a excellent experience , great service and excellent food.Definitely my new spot, which I will highly recommend if looking for a romantic place and delicious food here in my hometown. By the way I unfortunately didn't try the bread cause of my healthier eating habits ( it was hard not too ) but it smelled delicious.

    Azunia Tequila Dinner at The Padre Hotel

    I recently visited the Belvedere Room while attending the Azunia Tequila Event. It was perfectly executed - complete with beautiful food prepared by the chef and Azunia tequila paired. It was also loads of fun seated family style and interacting with our table-mates. We were introduced to the tequila brand by the Padre Food & Beverage manager. He did an excellent job explaining the brand and the tequila process in the brand ambassadors absence. The food was amazing. Each dish better than the last. Every dish was bold and daring and something you wouldn't find on the current menu. Check out my photos for a visual diary of the nights foods. In all, the $75 to attend was well worth the price. I would have paid twice this and over at other restaurants. I hope The Padre Hotel continues to showcase these amazing brands and the talents of their chef.

    This steakhouse is pretty fancy for a hotel lobby area, and is in the Padre. It's a bit pricey for the quality, but it's not a bad option for a meeting or if you're staying in the hotel for the night and looking for food. The bread basket was incredible.

    Food was outstanding!!! We were blown away by all the items we tried, especially the crispy lamb belly and risotto! Surprisingly delicious for this area, beats some LA/OC restaurants too in the taste arena. Disappointed they were out of beef tongue and foie gras!! Service, on the other hand, was so lacking!!! Really nice and friendly; however, forgot to bring us bread (didn't get any at all, btw), forgot my straw, and my cocktail took forever! Food took a while too, close to 40 minutes after we ordered. They were only at 50% capacity. Would definitely come back for the food.

    BELVEDERE ROOM at The Padre Hotel, in the Heart of Downtown Bakersfield, CA!
    Amy M.

    When in town, my Husband and I always stay at The PADRE HOTEL, Bakersfield, CA and have had the pleasure to eat now twice at the BELVEDERE ROOM. Last night's dinner did not disappoint. Thank you nice hostess for accommodating our very late, last minute dinner date night. Service from Brian was impeccable! Our menu last night: Amazing Baby Beet salad, grilled head-on Tiger Prawns with tomato marmalade crack cocktail sauce, a complimentary Orange Sorbet palate cleanser, with dinner entrees: Delicious Wild King Salmon, 8oz Ginormous Australian Lobster tail, and sides of Wild Mushroom Risotto and Heirloom Carrots with a local Honey glaze! Thank you Chef for another memorable fine dining experience, we can't wait to come back!

    I was looking for a place to take my wife for our anniversary. Choices are very very limited here in Bakersfield. The online system for the reservation was very simple and efficient. Located in the Padre Hotel, you have the option for valet or find parking in the street. We opted for street parking with plenty of spaces to choose from. I believe the Belvedere is the only 4-Star restaurant in town. The lobby of the hotel is very classy. We approached the hostess and was greeted with a friendly welcome. With our RSVP, we were seated right away. Some of the tables are really close to each other so we asked for a table that was a little more private and the hostess was more than willing to seat us at our choice, especially since there were plenty of open tables. We sat down and the waiter was very professional, albeit a little awkward, but very attentive and happy to serve us. The choice of wine was nice and very decent. The menu looked excellent. My wife had the Baby Beet Salad to start and then ordered Scallops for her entree and brussel sprouts for her side. She loved everything she ordered, especially her scallops, which is always a favorite for her. I went for the 16oz Rib eye Oscar style with truffle butter and the truffle puréed potatoes as the side. I highly recommend the oscar style but the rib eye was over salted, which I didn't make a big deal of, albeit, the steak was cooked perfectly, which is rare in my experience at other steak restaurants in town. The truffle potato was also nice. Be aware that all items are A-la-Cart which is normal for 4-5 star restaurants. When ordering sides, also be aware that they are enough to feed 2-3 people. After our meal, I had a cup of coffee and my wife had a latte with the recommendation of one of the waitresses, Kristin, who very kind, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. I had wished Kristin was out waitress. We will definitely be requesting her the next time we go in. A great touch: they gave us a complimentary dessert for the celebration of our anniversary, which was very kind. If you don't mind spending and splurging for a nice meal, The Belvedere is a great choice. I highly recommend this place. After receiving the bill, I was surprised it wasn't higher, which is what I expected. It was a plea to surprise. I give this place 4 solid stars. Again, my server was a little awkward and steak was over salted. Everything else was excellent and we will definitely be back. Thanks Belvedere for providing a place where we can experience class, presentation and quality!

    My husband & I celebrated our 11th Anniversary here on 5/9. While the dining room is beautiful, we found the food and service lacking. The service was friendly, but everything seemed to be extremely slow. The hostess greeted us with a warm smile & congratulated us on our Anniversary. Very sweet since that was mentioned in the reservations. Once seated, our server though friendly, seemed off and inattentive. It took a long time for our bread to come & even longer for our appetizer of clams even though we put in the order with our drinks. The clams had good flavor, but was not cleaned well. I bit into grit a few times. We both ordered the ribeye and let me tell you, these were the toughest ribeyes we've ever had. My husband is a chef so he knows his cuts of meat well. It was cooked to about medium/medium rare in some parts and it was giving us a jaw workout. We've had much tender cuts in less fancy places. Extremely disappointing. The mashed potatoes were the star of the show and the only thing that stood out. Our server checked on us twice. We were going to get dessert, but everything just took so long that we asked for to go boxes and our check. Our server probably didn't know it was our anniversary and he didn't ask if we were celebrating anything. As a former server, I always made sure to ask. Not impressed. Prices don't match the quality of food/service that we received.

    Had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday at this place located in the Padre Hotel. Such a neat place and quiet place perfect for small gatherings with family and friends. The bar and lounge is just a step a way. Foods definitely are delicious and reasonable price. Service was great and staff were friendly and helpful

    The resturant charged us a covid charge.

    We made reservations at this restaurant. Drove an hour and a half to get there for the 7 course dinner they were advertising. After getting sat and waited 20 minutes to get greeted the server told us the 7 course dinner was cancelled and they only have a few al a cart items. We ordered drinks, an appetizer, and two main entrées. We then had to wait another 25 min to get a glass of champagne and a Jameson with water (total of 40 min for a drink). Meanwhile, another table was sat after us and got mixed drinks served before we did. Our appetizer took another 30 minutes. Finally, our main entrées come out and the server tells us they ran out of mash potatoes. Another disappointment since we both asked for them specifically. They should have told us before they brought our food out. My food was Luke warm like it was sitting up in the window forever. My husband ordered a medium rare steak and it came out bleeding. We had to send the steak back to cook longer. Then the resturant charged us a covid charge. When we asked what it was for our server told us it's for masks, gloves and hand sanitizer. Yet, they didn't offer us any of these items and the server had the same mask the entire time. Not really sure why every table is getting charged extra because of covid. Absolutely ridiculous! Isn't that what all the grants were for? The server was nice and respectful it wasn't his fault. But we definitely will never be back and we will be sure to tell everyone not to go to this restaurant.

There is an old telephone booth and Christmas decorations. Johnny brought us the menu and it was the lunch menu. I saw on line that they had some great food for breakfast and Te-see asked him about it. He told us they were still making breakfast so I got happy. I ordered a coffee with cream and he brought it in a little tray with the creamer on the side. The table was a little wobbly and the coffee spilled all over the tray. Luckily Te-see got that fixed with a sugar packet. Jonny brought me another tray with coffee and cream. Almost everything was plant base, some egg and chicken but definitely no red meat. Unless I didn't see it. So I ordered the chilaquiles rojos and my daughter the Happy-go-Lucky-bowl. Te-see got the torta española and slew got a pancake to shared. All the food came very fancy well presented. Almost like magazine perfect. I loved them. We were taking videos and pictures as we should like a truly Yelpers that we are. Haha! The food was so tasty and flavorful. I loved my chilaquiles. They were perfect for my palate. They were crunchy and still with the flavor of the sauce. So delicious. They came with a little bowl of beans from the olla. (Freshly cooked) Te-see mention that her torta española was great as well. It came with some green salad. And it did really look so good. My daughter got the Happy-go-lucky-bowl. I was surprised she liked it. It was so beautiful presented. Sorry I already mention that. But yes it was pretty. There was berries melon, pineapple. She said it was really good and filling. She couldn't finish it. The pancake we order to share was so healthy made with all the good grains like chia, hemp seed, brown rice, oat flour. So good. It had some bananas and berries on top. Really delicious. I want to go back again just writing about it. I may go back and order different things from the menu. The bathrooms are very clean.

The flavor was really good, everything felt homemade. The meat could've been slightly more juicy, but everything worked so well I didn't mind it. The ambiance was moderately noisy, yet relaxed.
