Krush

We dined at Krush and had the Valentine’s Day Special. We dined there last year and had a wonderful experience. This year, not so much. Our server was actually the hostess, which caused her to have to find reservations and seat diners as well as try to wait tables. Although we were not particularly in a hurry service was at a snails pace. We received our champage 45 minutes after our request. Things went downhill from there. Our appetizers, bacon wrapped shrimp for me and soup (that tasted oily) for him were cool, not hot. Our steaks were served very cool. The mashed potatoes were very thick and llike one clump! Our asparagus were overcooked and limp. Inedible. All the food obviously had been sitting for a while before it was brought out to our table. The food was not very tasty and we left almost three hours later very disappointed. We did not see anyone that might have been a manager in sight as we wanted to report our concerns. We have vowed not to go back.

Not only is this place incredible but, it’s close to home!
We are having a hard time figuring out which is better the food or the service. We’ve dined here twice and both times have been fantastic experiences.
Upscale restaurant and we don’t have to leave Rosedale. I really suggest you try this place for any special occasion. It’s really a treat.

I didn’t like it here. Very poor staff. Too very long with our order. Very sucky place.

Rachel was an excellent server! Professional, friendly, well versed in wine. She was the only reason we chose to stay for dinner and dessert.
However there was a lot of issues with the establishment itself.
They were out of the first 4 bottles of wine I selected and they were only able to provide comparative alternatives. This seems very unprofessional especially for an establishment that is supposed to be a wine bar.
Next, we ordered the lobster puffs and the bacon covered shrimp. They were just ok. Lobster puffs were pretty big.
My boyfriend had the New York strip and I had the filet mignon. Unfortunately they were both overlooked, and well done rather than medium well, as we asked. They took mine back and brought me back a medium well, once j asked for a medium.
Music was a live band and way too loud and obnoxious. Country music, yuck. And a bad band. Not my thing but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it…

Great food, and great service. The food was fantastic, and the Head Chef is one like you would find in the finest restaurants in San Francisco or Los Angeles. If your taste is experiencing fine cuisine close to home, Krush is the dining extraordinaire.

Had dinner with my sisters. Such a beautiful atmosphere. The food was fantastic, and the service was wonderful. We sampled many of the appetizers, and wines. My entrée was the surf and turf and it was tender, rich, absolutely delicious! My sisters both had the pork tenderloin which they enjoyed as well. We will definitely be returning!

Stopped by yesterday evening for a few pints of Guiness and some of the Small Plates during Happy hour. I ordered a Shrimp Cocktail and The Lobster Bits, both of which were excellent. What really made it a 5 Star experience was how the Bartenders made me feel welcome the instant I sat down and continued that hospitality until I left. Definitely coming back!

Just ate here, and what an AMAZING experience! Great menu, great wine list!
Ordered Caprese Salad to start, the olive oil, balsamic, salt and spices were amazing! Had a glass of the house «Krush» Syrah (which is a Sextant grape) which was amazing! Complex up front and nose, very smooth on the palate.
Ordered the Jambalaya… Wow! Amazing– plenty of Chicken and Sausage, and the spice was just right.
The thing that really made it was the owner and the GM came over and we had a very nice conversation. To top it off, Wendell, the chef came out and we had a great and fun conversation! Quality and fun experience and people throughout!

GREAT place. Loved the atmosphere. Bartenders were super sweet. Prices were reasonable for wine.

So. We wanted to love this place… we really did. We live in the neighborhood and have been waiting to try Krush for awhile. We decided to try it tonight… a Tuesday during the fair. We were seated right away… the only customers. Our waitress was very nice. We ordered an appetizer and drinks. The waitress informed us there was no yeast so no bread. The appetizer was calamari and it came out pretty quickly. It was fine, drinks were fine. Our main course came out… the husband ordered the rack of lamb… which came out like lamb pops… however, it was dry and undercooked! Mine said roasted breast of chicken but it was a thigh (unless a breast was attached to a leg)…my husband swears it was a Cornish hen… not a breast of chicken! The meal was overpriced and to spare anyone reading… it was uncomfortable on the stomach… We won’t be going back and honestly, I don’t see how they’re going to make it.

We went here by invitation of some friends and it’s in our neighborhood and we’ve not tried it yet so we thought why not. I’ve read the mixed reviews but I’m one to form my own opinion.
We went on a three day weekend and thought it would be crowded but to our surprise it wasn’t at all but I’m sure it was because it was the beginning of summer and everyone was out of town.
We had a reservation and were seated right away, although as I said it wasn’t crowded and probably didn’t need that reservation. But any other time I’ve been by here on a weekend it is so packed I’d suggest you make one. The décor was nice and I could see the look they were going for but I’m not sure it hit its mark. We felt like we were dining in a fishbowl since the whole restaurant is windowed and all you are looking out at is the parking lot and their patio. White table cloths and napkins, wine glasses in place, we were promptly asked for our drink order since as usual we were the first in our party to arrive.
My husband ordered a glass of Merlot and I had a soft drink and soon our friends joined us. For all the stuffiness this place was going for they really need to rethink the décor and comfort of the dining room. Our seats were right in the middle of the room, stiff chairs at simple tables.
We ordered their Pork Belly appetizer that came highly recommended. Unfortunately it fell short of the rave review. Undercooked as I would expect, should of had a nice sear on that juicy hunk of belly. It was chewy beyond necessity and that made it unappealing. Flavor was OK but we expected more due to the high recommendation from our server.
My husband had the Seafood Pasta, I had just a salad and our guests each had a steak. Unfortunately the specialty steak my girlfriend ordered, their Ribeye was as tough as a shoe. She wasn’t going to say anything but at $ 30+ I wasn’t letting it go. I told our server how it was, not only tough but grissely too. The manager came over and heard our complaints, since we all tried it out of belief and she took it off the ticket. I really felt that she went over and above by doing that, maybe a complimentary desert would of been fine but that is how you get people to come back. My husbands pasta was very tasty and my salad was good.
We will give this place another whirl, maybe on a weeknight when its not so crowded?

Food not very tasty

Went for the music. A few friends recommended the food. I had the caesar salad for starters. The lettuce was wilted and wasn’t even cold. I also ordered the Ahi. DO NOT order the Ahi! It was seasoned by someone who apparently had no idea what they were doing. It was served with soy sauce and wasabi which was fine but the seasoned Ahi was so salty, I couldn’t eat it. A complete waste of money.
LESSON LEARNED… go for the wine. Go for the music but don’t go for the food.

What a great little spot to go dancing and just hang with friends. Tonight the had the band the Groovies a great mix of classic rock and rhythm and blues. The food is quite good as well. Tonight I had the made from scratch chicken soup. I would recommend Krush to anyone looking to have a good time.
The bar has a very elegant high class look as does the very nice chandelier when you walk in.

First impressions as you walk in is that this is a beautiful little spot. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
We mostly came for drinks and good conversation with friends, which we had plenty of. As far as food goes we started with the stinky fries and the bacon wrapped shrimp. The stinky fries were ok, but we thought the garlic a little strong, not too much so that I wouldn’t eat them again. I mean the name is stinky fries. The bacon wrapped shrimp was very good, even though I do not care for shrimp usually. I would definitely order the shrimp again.
We then had a wedge salad. Not my favorite style of salad and this one didn’t do it for me. My husband however did enjoy it very much, Again I prefer a regular salad, over a wedge salad anyways.
For dinner we had the the swordfish. Our friends also had the swordfish. They really enjoyed their piece of fish, finding it moist and flavorful. Ours however was dry and I couldn’t eat my piece. My husband could not eat it either. We didn’t complain or send it back. The service was so good and our friends who ordered the same thing liked theirs. Something must have gone wrong with ours somehow, It happens.
Overall I would probably go back and give some other menu items a try. Next time I will not drink the fireball (which I didn’t want lol) even if the servers bring it to me at my husband’s request. Thanks to the servers for their great sense of humor and helping our evening to be fun and (next time, no fireball.)

Went to Krush on a Saturday night and had a great time. The staff was friendly and service was fast. We sat on the couches and sampled several of the wines from the wine bar. We ordered several appetizers, all were really yummy. The pork belly with the mustard and the parmesan crusted risotto were my favorites. The bread on the cheese plate was pretty hard but overall the apps. Were delicious.
We ordered two main courses, the seafood risotto and stuffed porkchop. The seafood risotto was AMAZING! The porkchop was just ok. They have a good selection of gluten free items as well.
Wine selection at the bar was okay but not phenomenal.
A live band was playing at around 7:30 which was nice. Not too loud so it was still easy to hear your conversation.
Will definitely come back again.

Not a lot to choose from on the menu. Nice atmosphere have a band. Food a little pricy.
If you plan on getting full on a budget.
This is not the place to go.

Brought my sister to Sunday brunch after church. Quiet and relaxing. Breakfast food was so good. My sister was skeptical at first, but lived everything she ate. The French press coffee gave us a special feel, as I have never seen it offered. We enjoyed the ambiance, attentive staff and even a table side visit my the chef.
Most Sunday brunch places are crowded, often with a wait time, common food offering served in a common way. Try Krush for brunch and experience what a brunch is supposed to be.
And they do offer a bottomless Mimosa for only $ 10. We didn’t have them but the other customers said they were great.

Decided to give this place a try for Sunday brunch today. The place was empty and it was weird. We left.

I wasn’t expecting the experience I had at all…
This place is excellent from customer service to food to atmosphere. They really have it down at Krush. I went lastnight and was really impressed. Loved the band, country style and sounded great. We were still able to have a conversation while enjoying the experience.
Loved our wait staff~Amanda and Preston were very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Our food was excellent. Great variety and dessert was delicious!
We saw others there we knew as well and they were in agreement that this place was much needed in Bakersfield. We all shared the same positive experience at Krush.
Will definitely be back soon!
