If you want to pay over 60 bucks to wait an hour and have half of your sandwich taken, a raw burger then by all means pick this spot, food was decent.

Any time I can make it downtown I always try to eat here with friends and or family. The Brussel sprout and sweet potatoes dish is AMAZING! The garlic aioli is so tasty and it is a well balanced dish. I have tried multiple menu items here and have never been disappointed. With everything being made in house, you can taste the quality. The last visit we had, the server brought us out a free mini appetizer and it was so delicious and thoughtful!

Such a cute spot in the heart of Bakersfield. I was passing through for work and was looking for a farm to table place. This place fit the bill. Great service and the salad was fresh. Loved all of the natural quality ingredients. Recommend!

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.
