CELEBRATING VALENTINE’S DAY MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, BUT YOU CAN STILL COUNT ON SONDER TO MAKE THE DAY SPECIAL.
For around 2 1/2 years, Sonder has found new ways to spruce up the dining scene in Bakersfield and appreciate all of food’s flavors. Ryan Meloche, one of the owners of the eatery, wanted to bring a bit of Los Angeles to the Central Valley. Inside a sleek and cool atmosphere awaits you, while the food and drink offerings add to the overall good time. Meloche said the menu gets updated every four months to bring in unique flavor combinations and show off chefs’
skills. Guests can start off their meal by enjoying seven bruschetta options, ranging from the classic tomato, basil and balsamic combination to more sweet options featuring fresh berries and apricot jam. Pasta, steak and seafood entrees make great meals for romantics any time of year. Various cocktails, beers and wines make the perfect pairings. Items such as the watermelon margarita and About Time cocktail feature the restaurant’s very own fresh pressed juices. Whether you’re trying Sonder out for the first time or are a returning customer, you’ll grow fonder with the eatery with each bite and sip. » See more Salty & Sweet on PAGE 28.
