    Bruschetta flight
    Jen C.

    I came with my partner on a weekend morning for brunch. We were quickly seated and our order was taken. The interior was very clean, chic, and welcoming. I got the bruschetta flight - the one with the mushrooms on top was my favorite. We also shared the monkey bread which was delicious. Overall, we had a great experience and will be back!

    Opens at 9am for breakfast! Had wonderful food in a beautiful restaurant. Service was prompt but there weren't many people there. I'm shocked the place isn't busy! I'll be back so soon!

    Cute and quaint restaurant with an impressive menu. We kicked off our (Kairo's Sisters) Foodies Tour here and they did not disappoint. Service was great, food was delicious and drinks were so top tier! Thank you!!

    Lavender Lemon drop & the Handshake

    I really wanted to like Sonder's new location because their other spot has such a cool vibe. Walking in, the space looks great--modern and stylish--but the food was a major letdown. The buffalo cauliflower seemed like raw cauliflower with lukewarm buffalo sauce poured over it. No crisp, no flavor--just sad. My steak salad wasn't much better. The meat was stringy and greasy, and the oil completely wilted the lettuce. The one saving grace was the cocktail, the Handshake. I wouldn't call it mezcal-forward--it was more like a smoky chocolate espresso cocktail, almost like it had a touch of wood-smoked essence. Absolutely delicious. It's honestly baffling how the drinks could be so good while the food was the total opposite. Come for the cocktails... definitely not the kitchen.

    So cool to be here for their soft opening! 5 Star Service, fantastic work from the kitchen and bar, in the coolest new restaurant in West Bakersfield.

    We came here as a party of 4 for brunch and the vibes and food were fantastic. We really wanted to check out Sonder's newer location and I'm so glad we did. I believe our server's name was Opie and he did a great job of making sure we were taken care of and was very attentive to our table. The monkey bread was a great appetizer for our table to start. I got the Rise n Shine and nothing beats this classic breakfast option. Our party did come in the night before for some cocktails and our espresso martinis and lemon drop were spot on! What a splendid experience

    The food was delicious we sat outside and enjoyed the really nice weather. The poutine was absolutely delicious and everything was really flavorful. The service was speedy we got seated right after we walked in and the waiter was attentive to all of our food asks.

    French Dip on Dutch Crunch.  As good as it looks.

    Met up with some friends for brunch and had a very enjoyable experience. So many good choices on the breakfast menu (offered until 2pm) and the lunch menu. We each tried a different entree, and all 5 were big hits. Monte Christo with tater tots, Girlfriend Burger with side salad, French Dip with fries, Sonder Club with sweet potato fries, and Mussels and Clams served with toasty bread. All good enough to recommend. Add a Bourbon and Berries and I was a very happy diner.

    Pokey salad

    Got the poke salad, presentation was beautiful, food was beautiful. The atmosphere and vibe was so nice. Service was top notch especially my wonderful waitress Amanda, she had a bright personality that made my experience so much better! This place is a MUST TRY!!!

    Came in for a late lunch with a small appetite. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. Vibes are nice, everything looks clean but the food was not so good. I ordered the Sonder Cobb with chicken and my partner had the Nachos with steak for an additional cost. Food arrived in a timely manner. Chicken on salad was dry and very salty. Nachos arrived with hardly any cheese and a whole lot of refried beans. Honestly felt that the whole nacho dish came from cans, especially the beans. On top of that there was maybe like a total of 7 small (smaller than dime size) pieces of meat on the nachos. It was quite embarrassing to even charge extra for meat if they will hardly give you any. This place is nice but they do not prioritize the quality of food they serve.

    Tried the new Sonder this evening and was lucky enough to visit with the full menu available. We ordered the Brussels sprouts (a usual favorite), the pastrami sandwich--which was delicious--along with onion rings, and the chicken piccata served with a baked potato and vegetables. Everything was very good and the service was great. The chicken piccata was a little different from the traditional preparation; it was enjoyable. The restaurant is smaller than the other location, but even with all the tables filled, it didn't feel overcrowded.

    Where is the cheese?  Yeah, we were charged full price for everything that was deceived

    If you want store bought air fried sweet potato fries, store bought manicotti not even warmed up properly, bland Walmart Mac and cheese, this is the place. I was so excited that an additional restaurant opened up near my house. I go to Chef Lino's all the time and I was expecting some high-quality food for the price that they're charging. Unfortunately, I came in and it is literally all store-bought. Nothing in here is made. It is all warmed up and bland and they're using the location to try to get a clientele to come in and overpay for food that they purchased at Walmart. And they can't even warm it up correctly I would not recommend this to anybody in our area Horrible And then they try to make us double pay for our dinner If you want a good dinner in our area, please go to Chef Lino's This place is horrible and horrible service If you're in the area, I want great food Go to Jack in the Box because it's better than this See the photos of the Smart and final sweet potato fries and The warmed up cheese on the manicotti Nothing here is fresh Thick disgusting bread on their "charcuterie"

    Lemon pepper wings
    Marissa M.

    We finally tried Sonder, and we are so happy we did!! Everything was seriously amazing--I'm honestly overly impressed. We tried the lemon pepper wings, the wedge salad, and the girlfriend burger, and every single dish was equally delicious. Zero complaints across the board. I also loved how extensive their lunch menu is--I'm already excited to go back and try more. Beyond the food being great, I absolutely loved the location and the ambience. It's super cute inside and feels fresh and different. The service was top-tier as well--Sara was our server and she was an absolute delight. We will definitely be returning!!

    on Aug 12th, My sister and I had dinner at the Panama Lane location. The food was excellent and…read moreservice was good. What impressed me the most was when we left just before closing. I left behind a money clip with good amount of cash. I got home thinking it was in my car, after searching I called the restaurant and they said yes we have it and we'll stay open for you to pick up. I thought for sure it would be gone and some bus person would think wow look what i found. The money clip was far more important since it was a gift from my mom 43 years ago. The Manager and the team were honest and did the right thing. Really made my experience much better on top of the good food! Thank you very much!

    The service was absolutely pitiful. It was only 3 of us…read more Drinks took over 10 min to even be asked to order. We ordered immediately. My mother in laws food came in first They forgot her tortillas. Came back 10 minutes later to give them to her after she was halfway down. We waited over 45 minutes and nothing Me and my wife never got our food. I've been to hundreds of restaraunt an over the years and this was the worst service I've received. Once I got up to pay for what I did receive the food was "magically done". We paid for what we received and left. The only reason I left 1 star is because the food that was served was good. This place needs to work on their work flow.

    I'm so excited that Bakersfield FINALLY got another fried fish spot! This place is not in the best…read moreneighborhood but please don't let that deter you. It's pretty small inside so it won't be great for large groups but the employees are friendly. The guy that gave me my order informed me that this place is originally from Louisiana and this store is the only one in California! I ordered the 4 piece fish combo and chose the fried okra and red beans and rice for my sides. I also added the fried green tomatoes to my order. I'm not a fan of catfish but this was good. The seasoning on their food is SEASONING, okay?!!!! The fried green tomatoes are delicious without any sauce but when you dip it in their homemade tartar sauce and hot sauce it's amazing! I'm not sure what kind of roll it is that comes with their meals but Hot Damn it's bomb! It's like a soft pillow, almost like a beignet but not as airy. I didn't eat my food for about 40 minutes or so and the roll was still so soft! I will definitely hit this place up again and give the fried chicken and fried shrimp a try! If you've been looking for a place with fried fish, look no more! It's called Chick O Fish and it's in Bakersfield via Louisiana!

    This place just opened up yesterday. It was their second day. They have chicken, fish, and shrimp…read more Everything I had on the combo plate was breaded. I got a side of fries, cole slaw, and a freshly baked bun. The owner told me this was a franchise. They were from Louisiana and were looking for opportunities in Bakersfield. As with any new business, it is going to take a few days to get the place up and running. You can eat inside. The tables and chairs looked comfy, but I opted to take out. The walls are a little sparse, but I'm certain they will dress the place up nicely. The owner was very nice and you could tell he had a passion for this business. I look forward to seeing them very successful.
