    Peach Mojito
    Joe M.

    The drinks were fantastic, I enjoyed the Peach Mojito, and the Tri Tip bites were super tender and very tasty. I was a little disappointed with the wings, over cooked and kind of dry. The sauce on the wings was very mild for both, not terrible, but I would go somewhere else for wings. The waitress was very nice, great at her job, I wish I could remember her name. Overall, I liked this restaurant, and will be back, would love to try other items!

    Came here for a friend's birthday, and loved it! Service was great, waiter offered to keep the cake in the refrigerator for us- brought us plates, spoons, and a knife once we were ready for it. Their food and drinks were delicious! Definitely coming back!

    champagne with sorbet

    I visited this Indian fusion restaurant for brunch and overall I enjoyed it. The wrap was pretty standard, but still had good flavor. The fries had Indian spices with a small kick of spice that made them super delicious! Regarding some other food options, my friend ordered the pork belly breakfast tacos and unfortunately she wasn't a fan of them. Our server was nice and attentive. However, one of the downsides was that it took a long time for our food to come out. Also, their soda machine was down and they have pretty limited beer choices, so beverages in general were limited that day. They did have champagne with sorbet available. This restaurant seemed like semi-upscale but chill spot. They do have TVs to watch sports, but they did not have the sound on. Overall, I would definitely like to return to this spot to try some of the food they have to offer for lunch and dinner.

    Harrington House is one of those Bakersfield spots that really deserves more love. I stopped in for the chicken sandwich and the paneer sandwich, and both were excellent in their own way. The chicken sandwich had a great crispy bite and was packed with flavor, while the paneer sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and just different enough to make it memorable. The veggies in both the sandwiches tasted crisp and fresh, and the bun was nicely toasted. The french fries were super crispy and very seasoned, exactly the ones you keep eating even when you're already full. What also stood out was the atmosphere and the people behind the place. Karen, the owner, is genuinely sweet and welcoming, and you can tell this business is built with care and pride. Supporting local spots like this matters, especially when good food and good service come together the way they do here. If you're thinking about going, today seems like a great time since they don't appear to be very busy. If you can't make it today, a weekday visit would probably be your best bet, since weekends seem to be the busiest. Either way, Harrington House is worth checking out if you want a solid meal from a local Bakersfield business.

    I always get a little nervous when I walk into a restaurant and it's a ghost town. But I had been wanting to try Harrington House for some time now, so I took a seat at the bar and was greeted by Karen. She suggested a drink from the happy hour menu, and it was delicious. I wish I remembered the name, but it was a mezcal margarita. I ordered the tri-tip bites as my appetizer and India's Hot chicken sandwich. Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The Indian fusion added a unique taste I enjoyed. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient (I was the only customer, so I'd hope so). Not sure if they are always that slow or if it was just the time and day I went, but y'all need to try it!

    I have to update my review, for a very special reason. Harrington House, is located on the southwest corner of Stockdale Highway and Buena Vista. I would say it's been open for approximately 3-4 years. It is an Indian fusion restaurant, with a lot of Indian inspired menu items. The wife and I have been on dates here, family outings, as well as dates with other couples. The menu is not vast but it is packed full of flavor and suitable for the average Joe. They have delicious cocktails and one of my favorites is the seltzers. Probably one of the bigger happy hours, especially comparable to the menu size. The update on my review comes after walking into a newish restaurant, with great food, good drinks, and outstanding service, wrapped up in a unique spin on a restaurant, with ZERO customer base, on a Saturday night. It just came to our surprise, how a winning restaurant could be in a slump. In an attempt to bump up business, you of course don't know their backstory, or how long they might have been hurting but u truly feel this place should be doing better than most. Overall, I am only one person, writing a simple review on some delicious drinks and a few appetizers, consisting of great tasting wings and some of the best fries in town. All in all, I believe this is a great restaurant for the greater Bakersfield area and shouldn't be hurting like this. I just couldn't stand by and watch a non chain restaurant fail, especially with a great overall feel and in some prime restaurant real estate. So if you're looking for a place in Bakersfield, for brunch, lunch or dinner, this is a spot you should be trying out. Hope this helps and see you guys at the next spot.

    Finnally went to HH after long time browsing through the reviews! This place has such a nice atmosphere and love the way its decorated with brown leather chairs. I was suprised on the indian flavor in my Nics cali cut which was just superb! The fries are insane seasoned amazingly I can eat them all day! The staff all very welcoming and friendly. Only recommendations we have is, we sat on a back booth table none of them had been cleaned off yet from the previous customer, im unsure if the other customers had just left or if the tables arent cleaned until they need to be cleaned but just a tidbit that gives a slightly negative first impresion. All in all: I loved the flavor of the food and will be back!

    Got Harrington House for Sunday brunch and was seated right away. The place has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. I ordered Randy's Patty Melt with fries, and it did not disappoint. The patty was perfectly salted and juicy, and the cheese melted over it just right, simple but done really well. The fries were crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the kind you can't stop picking at even when you're full. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive without feeling rushed. Overall, a great place to stop by!

    Patty melt

    The place wasn't as busy when we ate there, so it was quiet and we were seated right away. The place looks nice, clean. The staff was very nice. We ordered the HH burger and a patty melt. Something simple. Surprisingly, the food was very good. The bacon jam on the burger was nice, it didnt overpower the rest of the burger. You could taste the freshness of the burger patty. The Patty melt was definitely good. Better than most ive had in Bakersfield. It came with fries. The seasoning had a kick to it, but in a good way and Im not a fan of spice. But, yea. It gave the fries a pop. Would I recommend this place? Definitely. Very good food and will be back to try the other items on the menu.

    Overall, I enjoyed this place. The ambiance was nice and inviting, the staff was friendly and the coffee was delicious. My friend got the PB&J and I tired it and I really wanted to enjoy it, but it was weird having arugula on it. I also wasn't a fan of the curry coconut peanut butter but I did like their house made blueberry jam. It was also expensive at $16 for one slice of bread with the forementioned items. I would come back for the coffee and perhaps try other food items.

    I loved how calm and relaxing it was this morning! There was enjoyable music playing at the perfect volume. It was clean and had a great atmosphere! The plants are missing the sunlight, some plant lights might help. the server, Karen was attentive and sweet! The Harrington toast was tasty! It's an elevated pb&j. The coffee was great!

    I really enjoy Harrington House.The drinks are always well made- cocktails and coffee. Legit lattes. It has something for everyone and a good place for your friends group to meet up. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

At the last minute, I actually had to move my reservation by 30min, so I called the restaurant and they were very accommodating, which I appreciated. Being a Bakersfield native I definitely wanted to check this place out being that I had visited Chase Bank prior to the vault taking over. I was absolutely amazed by the decorating on the interior. They literally left no stone unturned. Every single corner of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. I do love the whole vault theme. It definitely just feels like you're stepping back in time. The food was fantastic. On a Friday and Saturday night, they offer a prime rib special. The plate itself ran about $52. But it was well worth it. The prime rib absolutely melted in your mouth. It was paired with a beautifully baked potato. It was also served with a side of horseradish sauce as well as Au'ju, We also tried out the brussels sprouts appetizer. They were absolutely amazing. Flavor was spot on. And I would definitely recommend it if you're just wanting to try something a little bit different. Our meal also came with a soup or salad. My wife opted for the Caesar salad, with house made croutons which she said was great tasting. I opted for the soup of the day, which was an Italian wedding soup. Again great tasting everything tasted fresh and was piping hot.
