    Chef Lino

    Chef Lino catered our wedding in Sept and it was the "best wedding food I've ever had" as quoted by all of our guests. We had a 30 person wedding up in the mountains and had everything planned but unexpectedly had to switch caterers at the last minute. We chose Chef Lino and It was the best decision ever made. Michelle was quick to respond sending us menu options and recommendations based on our guest list Our venue was up in the mountains with no service but Chef Lino's staff made it work. The lamb lollipops were a hit and almost all of our guests had the steak. The staff was super attentive and fit right in with the chill outdoor vibe of the wedding. We are so thankful and grateful to have Chef Lino cater our wedding. We highly recommend him.

    Chicken piccata, garlic parmesan fries, sauteed spinach and mushrooms.

    We dropped in on a whim on Saturday evening and were able to get a table without a reservation. So glad we did! We had really great service from the staff, the menu had so many interesting choices, and the items we chose did not disappoint. Arrachera con Chimichuri with asparagus and garlic parmesan fries. The chimichurri was different than I've had before, almost like the pickling you'd get on Basque tongue, but it was delicious on that steak! Chicken Piccata with sautéed spinach and mushrooms and the same fries. All delicious. Cheesecake chimichanga with ice cream, and raspberry and chocolate sauces for dessert... Cuz how do you make cheesecake even better? Deep fry it! It was a great dinner all around, and I can't wait to go back and try the Brazilian style Sunday brunch. If it compares to the one Chef Lino did at Centro 18, I'll be thrilled.

    Steak sandwich with garlic fries
    Norman G.

    Chef Lino's is a really great restaurant. Don't think you're going there for cheap food though. The prices are higher than the other restaurants in the area. We went for lunch and didn't really go to spend what we did. It was worth it though. The food was phenomenal. The steak sandwich satisfied my craving for steak. It was tender and the flavors were delicious. The garlic fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The jalapeño mashed potatoes that my boyfriend had was so good. I think that the decor was a little underwhelming for the price of the meal. It still looked like the bbq places that used to be in the same building. It seems like it wants to be upscale dining, but it's lacking in decor. The service was great and she met all our needs. She was very friendly and attentive.

    Chicken and Shrimp Caesar Salad
    Eli H.

    WOW! First time eating at this cozy establishment and I was impressed! I ended up ordering the Marinated Cucumber salad w/Salmon. Absolutely delicious!!! It came with a cilantro lime vinaigrette dressing which is unique and very tasty. It had 3 good size chunk steaks of Salmon. My girlfriend had the Caesar Salad also topped with plenty of grilled chicken and shrimp. Can you say Amazing and both salads were KETO friendly!! There were two waiter's Edwin and Michelle who provided excellent and quick customer service. My Chef was SAM but Chef LINO (owner) is the main Chef. From ust try if you are in the area!!

    Cuban sandwich with garlic fries delicious.

    Today I stopped in to have a Cuban sandwich and garlic fries the Cuban sandwich was delicious and the service was great I will definitely return for dinner.

    The chef carrying around different kind of steaks for Sunday brunch. Delicious
    Jeremy T.

    First time dinner. Sunday brunch is fantastic. The service is excellent. Very nice selection of brunch items. Not a lot of random items. Everything I tried was delicious. Jalapeño mashed potatoes, asparagus salad, pasta salad, menudo, chorizo and eggs. The best part is they bring Rib eye, fillet, New York and Lamb on skewers to your table randomly or upon request. $25 adults. Kids 5 and under eat free. Bottomless mimosas for $7 more. Worth every dollar.

    Strawberry cheesecake
    Dawn W.

    You can't get this kind of food just anywhere in Bakersfield. They take a high standard in food and service.. from the stuffed mushrooms (sauce freshly made) to the amazing dinner choice. I had the filet Wellington that was amazing, Jalapeño mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus. With a fresh crisp Riesling wine. Still waiting on dessert. The service is superb. This is a must try and continue to return kinda restaurant. Business casual dress. Takes reservations. Don't miss out on this opportunity.

Great start. We ordered steaks with asparagus, and the food absolutely hit the spot. Tender, flavorful, cooked exactly right. But what really made the night memorable was our server, Angelis. She was an absolute pleasure--warm, upbeat, and genuinely positive in a way that lifted the whole experience. After a long day of driving, her energy made dinner feel like a treat instead of just a pit stop. Great food, great service, and a huge thank‑you to Angelis for making our night fabulous.
