I typically go to Luigi's for an evening event. Last week, I took the time to trek downtown to have…read morelunch with friends. It was great. There was entirely too much food, and it was all delicious. Thankfully, I decided to share the Thursday special sandwich. That was the perfect amount. The salads were fresh and all the ingredients were just the right combinations and great flavor. A reservation is definitely the way to go. We had an 11am reservation when they first open for lunch. We had a wonderful table on the patio on a great day. John took very good care of us and kept everything straight. It was impressive! We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and time together. Luigi offers amazing food and helps create memories!

Luigis has that old school feel and allows you to experience either their indoor dining hall or their backdoor outdoor patio. My absolute fave dish that I had was their pasta purse dish which had truffle in these little ravioli purses. Filled with ricotta & black truffles, I could not get over the savory flavor that had your taste buds running wild. Throw in their brown butter sage sauce with parmigiano reggiano, and you are served a meal worthy of any award. Their bolognese sauce was so delicious and had the right amount of meat and sauce for their pasta dish. Having a glass of white wine with my meal, it was truly one of my favorite meals I've had in quite some time.

I'm also picky about my soda and the soda was nicely carbonated but they offer a variety of drinks like tea with boba, lemonade, etc. The restaurant was very busy but the staff did an amazing job at being attentive and quickly served everyone. I have to say, big applause to the staff! They were ALL working their butt off!! Every one here is good worker. Will come here again!

The restaurant was very cute and I appreciated the murals and the background music. I had really high expectations as I have ate their food from farmers market. However, I was disappointed. We ordered the potstickers and pork soup dumplings and that was average. We also ordered the steamed bbq buns and they were lacking stuffing, so just okay. The crispy tripas were okay but the sauce tasted too much like candy and I felt the flavors contradicted okay. We have tried their food before and it was delicious but this time we were not impressed. We will try again in the future.

After arriving in Bakersfield, we were looking for places closeby to get some dinner. As we were…read morepulling up to the hotel, I thought I saw a sign that said brewery, so looked it up and - yep - there's a brewery right across the street. We walked over and had an enjoyable experience. I would first note, they only had 5 of the brewery's own beers on tap. I didn't mind, as I enjoyed a blood orange witbier. I had the sliders with veggie sticks and they were delicious. I was excited to see something besides just chips offered for sides. The seating space is ample and the night we were there, there was music. I was actually pleasantly surprised the music wasn't super loud and echo-y and we could still enjoy conversation. I would recommend stopping by for a beer and some food!

I came here last night with a group of 18 people while we were visiting Bakersfield, for the drag…read moreraces. When we made the reservation, no one told us that the restaurant operates as a self-service setup. We assumed, like most places that accept large reservations, that there would be some level of table service. Instead, the table was basically just a place for us to sit and eat. If we wanted drinks, we had to go up to the bar ourselves to order them. When it came time to eat, we had to leave the table again and go up to the front counter to place our food orders. No one came to the table to take orders, check on us, or even bring water. We ended up having to get water ourselves as well. What was most frustrating was at the end when I went to pay the bill and was told that an automatic 20% gratuity had been added because we were a large party. I completely understand adding gratuity when a staff is actively serving a large group taking orders, bringing drinks, refilling water, checking on the table, etc. But in this case there was essentially no service provided. Everything from ordering drinks, ordering food, and getting water was self-service. If the restaurant is going to run this way, that's fine but it should be clearly communicated when a large group makes a reservation, and automatic gratuity for "service" that didn't happen doesn't feel appropriate. We come to Bakersfield twice a year and after this experience, I don't think we will ever be back.

Other patrons waiting for their orders already had been served old water. Several minutes went by and none of the three employees walking back and forth bothered to greet us, say "We'll be with you in a moment", or even make eye contact. I was not in the mood to stand up and raise my hand for attention. I shouldn't have to ask for basic service from a supposedly established business and when it wasn't that busy, or should I have? After several minutes of just sitting there and feeling ignored, my wife and I quietly left the counter area. Sorry to leave a negative review.

I went to Blue Fig farms because the internet thought they might have British food. I guessed that…read moreingredients for Indian cookery is what they specialize in so there could be cross overs. I keep reading about how brown sauce is a staple on every table in the UK. HP Sauce is the main brand. I stopped in on afternoon Saturday the 7th. First impression was similar to the Asia market on White Lane, maybe less cluttered, more like a small supermarket. Walking the isles I didn't see it. To make sure I asked a stock clerk. He was friendly, hadn't heard of HP Sauce but walked me to where it might be. No luck. I didn't want to leave empty handed so brought an apple soda in a clear plastic can shaped like an aluminum can up to the register. I guess they took those earlier negative reviews to heart. The cashier, a man in his 40s or 50s, was so friendly. Joking with me in a dad joke way then gifting me a little morsel on my way out. I'm sure no one else gets treats, I was wearing my cervical collar, pretty sad looking. They have a lot of different foods there. Great produce. Just don't count on finding much British food.
