Had the black and blue salad, it was excellent! The goat cheese and roasted garlic appetizer in celebration of their 9 years in business was yummy! Service was great too!! Thank you for a unique experience. I love to support local when possible!

My husband and I went to Locale at lunchtime to check out the fresh food we had heard about and to hear Kelsey, the ukelele-playing singer with a lovely voice who is there from 11:30 - 1:30 on Saturdays. The food was delicious. Those are the good points.We entered and stood by the sign at the entrance "Please wait to be seated" for a few minutes before someone came to the front and told us to sit at any "two-top" we wanted and disappeared again. We sat down and waited a few minutes for menus, until it occurred to me that maybe they didn't use printed menus.I picked up the standing card on the table and found a QR code to scan for the menu. The waitress brought out a complimentary appetizer of toast points, garlic and goat cheese. Yum! There are lots of delicious-sounding dishes on the menu. I chose the Cowboy Tacos and my husband the Sweet Potato Brussel Sprouts Bowl. Our food arrived and it was delicious. We enjoyed it while listening to Kelsey.The waitress appeared again a little after we had finished eating and asked if we were "all good." I asked my husband if he wanted any dessert and he asked her what they had for dessert. She said they had a croissant with Nutella. We waited to hear more. I asked "You have cookies too, right?" "Yes, we have cookies."Clearly, she was done serving us and was ready for us to leave. At that point, we were ready too, so we paid and left. We won't be back, despite the good food. It doesn't make up for the lack of attention and poor service.

My family never spent more than a meals worth of time in Bakersfield before, traveling from northern to Southern California or vice versa. While this time was no different in that regard it was certainly more memorable because of the food and people at Locale.We arrived at Locale just after opening to a mostly empty restaurant. It was decorated in a modern, trendy style using art from locals. When we asked to eat outside because we were traveling with a dog they offered us an empty room in the back to keep us out of the cold. We were served our drinks, including a really yummy fresh made juice for my son, and given a complimentary appetizer that we all devoured.It seems like the menu might rotate somewhat but the chefs allowed us something off menu for our kids who are picky eaters.My wife and I ordered sandwiches that were made with fresh ingredients and well prepared. They also had a variety of salads and hamburgers and other new American fare on the menu.We left feeling like everyone here went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we were satisfied with our food and visit. It was nice to get a small taste of Bakersfield on our trip this time around and hope we can return soon to try some more of the dishes.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for our picky eaters.

I had the Loaded Tuna Croissant and added avocado. Let me just say it was so good!!!!! I ate it all and left nothing, the taste the amount everything was so good. I ordered a water because of pregnancy all I drink is water while some of the items on the menu looked yummy just water for me. It was lunch time so we did have to sit outside and outside in Bakersfield not the best I suggest adding heaters to the outside either floor or the ones that hang from the top but it was chilly. There was a lady singing and playing acoustic songs and it was calming the scene is not fast paced but just right. First time and went with my sister. She's been a few times. I will definitely go again. Thank you for the yummy food baby and I enjoyed it

It never ceases to amaze me. Racism in 2023. The Caucasian lady that was are waitress , didn't want to take are order and didn't want to answer any questions about the menu. After we ordered, some people came in. I watched her immediately help them and take there order. After about 15 minutes she brought them there food. I ordered a drink as well. She never brought it out. After 35 minutes of waiting ,we got up and left. If you are looking for somewhere to eat. DON'T COME HERE. If your not caucasian, they will put you on the back burner. If I could give this place negative stars, I would.

Not a great experience. Took my mom and daughter on Saturday(11/10/23) for lunch, because it is one of her favorites when she visits from college. We were there for over 2 hours, because they were under staffed. My mom ordered a coffee and it wasn't brought out till our food got there. When we received our food, our waitress never checked with us to see if everything was alright. There was an issue with my daughter's order and the food overall was underwhelming for the price. We couldn't fix my daughter's issue, because we couldn't find anyone to flag down. Never had our water refilled, and waited 1/2 hour for someone to bring us a Togo box and bill. Zero customer service!! You could look around and see other customers frustration.

WE LOVE LOCALE!!! Their service is so kind and sweet, their food is amazing and healthy, they actually brought us some samples to try of Fresca drink and also an entree that was bread, olive oil, garlic and cheese and it was amazing. Tri tip melt is amazing as well!!! 10/10 recommend ! Ambience is very chill perfect for lunch.
