    Lavender Lemon drop & the Handshake
    Michelle R.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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"

    House salad with homemade ranch dressing, turkey and ham sandwich

    We went for a soft opening for breakfast, but lunch was also offered. We were the only ones in the restaurant because of the soft opening it was pleasant. We had great service lots of menu options for breakfast and for lunch... They offer a large range from biscuits and gravy, a burrito with french fries inside, flights of breakfast toast.

    I've been a few times and have enjoyed it. Burgers and sandwiches have been great! Customer service is just outstanding and the look inside is really beautiful.

    This isn't chilaquiles. At best, it's nachos with three ingredients.

    Twice now I visit the bar and beers were flat. Fix your beer lines once in a while would be nice.

It was a delicious meal, all the proteins were well cooked and it was seasoned perfectly. I ordered it medium and it had just the right amount of heat, I might be able to go up one more heat level if I was feeling adventurous but their medium was just right. The Thai Tea was fantastic as well, you can't really go wrong with Thai Tea. I finished the meal with one of their mango ice cream macaroons and I really enjoyed that as well. The shell was nice and crispy and complimented the sweet mango ice cream perfectly . It was a really great first experience and has me excited to head back one day to try out some of their seafood.

We made a big mistake ordering peeled shrimps because the shrimps received were very small. Lesson learned, always keep the head-on for shrimps! They also skimped heavily on the sauce, which is a dealbreaker for Cajun food. The Works sauce has good flavor, but there wasn't nearly enough of it. Paying that much for so little is a bit frustrating. I've tried many different cajun seafood places and I don't think I'll be visiting here again.

First off it was a steady flow of customers for a Wednesday evening. Many birthdays! We were sat immediately and waiter came to take our drink order. I had a mango chamoy margarita, while my husband got a roasted chili cucumber margarita on the rocks. His drink was SPICY! I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the chicken and steak molcajete. Our food was brought out super fast! The portions - humongous! But the food is so good! My husband is super picky when it comes to Mexican food, and he said this molcajete is his favorite so far compared to other Mexican restaurants we've been to. The bright colorful colors and great music selection really make it joyous and fun dining experiences. Highly recommend.
