There’s a new dining spot in town and it’s called Bakersfield! Located in Westmont,Il. and created by the same folks that recently launched Standard Market, which happens to be directly across the street. Recently I was invited to attend their soft opening. |
A beautiful floor to ceiling glass wine room situated in the main dining room. |
The menu has something for everyone, meat lovers, fish lovers, vegetarians and those who just want to indulge! |
We were a party of four and started by ordering three appetizers, the first one being the Housemade Guacamole, very fresh, with lots of lime and cilantro flavor throughout. |
Next, we ordered the Crispy Thai Shrimp with a mango slaw that had just the right amount of heat, loved it! |
Seared Beef and Goat Cheese on sushi rice, I could have made a meal out of that alone, so good! |
The ribs were fall off the bone finger licking good! |
Me, I ordered the Knuckle Sandwich, a buttery toasty roll stuffed with Maine lobster. |
I’m glad everyone else was too busy eating because I didn’t want to share it with anyone! I will order this again. |
Now honestly, I didn’t think that would be something I would ever order… Boy was I wrong! Open for business now, visit Bakersfield for some exceptional food! |
When I saw this I thought you were in Bakersfield, CA. It is a great place to live even if it is a little on the warm (hot) side in the summer! Should you ever be coming through please stop and give me a call! I will definitely stop in at the restaurant should I be in the area. The menu sounds wonderful!
The restaurant sounds great. Your photos are wonderful in the not ideal lighting of a restaurant.
I never craved meat so much as when I glanced at the steak and those ribs. Love the fun look of the blog! And now – Bakersfield is added to my list.
If I ever am out that way again I’ll have to try to get a reservation at Bakersfield, Marie. Everything looked fantastic!
You didn’t share like a nice girl Marie. I might have been tempted not to either, with a lobster roll like that. But those ribs and that steak look mighty delicious too. Fried oreos? Oh my does that look decadent. I think I gained weight just staring at it.
Oh man, you scared me! I thought you were talking about Bakersfield, California. I was going to tell you to keep driving and don’t stop haha.
When I saw Bakersfield, I thought you were in California.
Sounds like a fun place. Oy Fried Oreos!! My brother would be in heaven…
