“Returned a year later so my husband could have pasta Riviera. It's a family favorite when we travel. Blackened snapper is also really good. I wish they had steamers. The decor could use some updating but the service was great. We would definitely go again.“

“Robin’s is phenomenal on so many levels. The cuisine is out of this world with so much variety. The team is extremely kind, professional, knowledgeable & fun. The ambience is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. The music is fun & uplifting. To top it off, Shanny, the owner, is a leader in contributing to worthy causes. She always generously donates food, time & heart to those in need of support. Even the fire in SO Cal. We love her!“

“Found this restaurant with a Google search and noticed reviews were hit-or-miss, so we took a chance to see where it landed...for a birthday event.
Between the halibut and stuffed chicken, we were at 50%. We ended up swapping meals to see if one was more palatable. The stuffed chicken, which was recommended by others, was overdone. I ended up with it having originally ordered the halibut. The chicken also had blue cheese in the stuffing, which isn't my favorite. The server nicely discounted the stuffed chicken as the ends were too chewy to eat.
The halibut was a bit salty but was cooked nicely and gad giid flavor. The sides were ok but with a little TLC, it could have been better.
The dessert, a flour-free, chocolate cake, was kind of average but was free for the birthday celebration.
The location is convenient at the end of downtown and the ambiance is nice. The server was very accommodating and friendly.
Unfortunately it wasn't a successful event.“

“We love this place! The staff is so friendly, the food is great, and the bakery is awesome! My husband loves the chicken fried steak but I highly recommend either the avacado toast or the roasted vegetables with polenta. Don't leave without trying the olallieberry cream puff, yum!“

“So, we originally stopped at Robin's but were told they were short staffed and there would be at least a 10 minute wait. There appeared to be empty tables everywhere though. So, we headed around the corner to Creekside Garden. The staff was friendly and helpful. The patio was comfirtable and welcoming. The found was so very good. My husband had a turkey fresno cheese sandwich with fries. The peppers were cooked perfectly for the sandwich and the fries yummy. I had beef fres.o and cheese sandwich with potato salad . The meat was perfect, peppers delicious and the potato salad was amazing. We will be back as the experience was better than we've had at Robin's.“

“An oasis…rolled into town after driving all day, and just wanted a beer. A good beer. Got exactly that.
I come from the land of Pliny and so many other amazing brews, it was nice to get to try something new. Fella behind the bar was chatty and attentive, even though we were the only people there. Location is kind of stale in terms of ambiance, but the beer is good and cold. Will visit again this vacation I am sure.“

“I had a great experience here- went on the night before thanksgiving and was able to sit down right away on the indoor patio with my dog. Service was great, my server was helpful and friendly. Food came out pretty quick. I had the salmon which I thought was good. And they have a beef patty for dogs (I’m sure you can ask for chicken too) which my dog loved. Good all around, I will go back next time I visit. (For people who don’t like dogs I was over in a corner so there was no one next to me)“

“Had lunch with a friend there the other day and I loved how fresh everything was. The chef came out and greeted us which is always a great experience. Everything was done old school there which I can really appreciate. Pasta was delicious! Attended a 🎶concert 🎶there last night. It was a fun night with great music by Jill Knight and Giovanni did a super job at providing a special menu for the evening. ♥️“

“The Corvettes of Bakersfield visited Cambria Pines Lodge on Sunday, July 9th for a lovely brunch in the garden room. We had 15 cars and a group of 30. We were welcomed by Angel, who took some group pics for us and led us to a perfectly set room ready to accommodate our group! Everyone enjoyed the mimosas and bloody Mary’s as well as our brunch choices. Our servers were attentive and did a great job! After brunch, we ventured out to the garden and played the assorted lawn games - lots of fun. Several members booked rooms to stay over and enjoyed the resort! Many of us strolled the grounds and took the trail leading the Cambria Nursery. Thank you Cambria Pines Team. Visit our Facebook page (Corvettes of Bakersfield) for pics!“

“Went here for the first time tonight . I have always wanted to try this place so a few of my friends came here tonight . The mimosa’s are outstanding you get so many choices and flavors . A total 10 in my book . We each had a meal . One friend had the fish and chips and she said they were goof . I myself had the veggie burger which was excellent. My friend had the special turkey melt she said it was really good .definitely will be back for more mimosas. Highly recommend you try it .“

“Food was super fast, and good. We had the ABC burger and the Monster burger, with fries and onion rings. All very messy and good. The burgers are reasonably priced, but a little pricey on the fries and rings. My only question was why we got 2 sides of ranch, I thought it just came with, but the receipt showed that we paid for them when we didn't ask for them. At any rate, we found out that onion rings aren't bad with ranch!“

“All of it. !!! The whole kit and caboodle“

“I always look forward to a meal at this homey place. My friend from his Cambrian days, John Brannon, recommended the hamburgers, and even though I was primed for breakfast I had the Mushroom Burger. Delicious, and the friendly waitress volunteered that I could order onion rings instead of fries at no additional charge. It was a great choice!“

“Always great service. and of course, the food is great also! Whenever I go to Cambria, I always go to JBJ Riund Up Pizza.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“We enjoy everything about West End. The food is really good and the atmosphere is friendly and homey. Owner, Vicki, is the friendliest person ever.“

“We were with a large crowd, booked 10 rooms. one of the staff at the front desk needs to go back for some customer service training. she was very rude to my 80+yr old Mother as well as some other family members. The front desk is the face of the property. fix that and anything else will resolve.“
