Leave a ReviewDelaney was so awesome!!! She made our anniversary dinner super special 💕
Love visiting Bakersfield, but parking nearby is now 57.63…. just know what you are getting into if you are local and don’t want to hike from convention center. Last year was only $16.99…. no more birthdays here.
Delaney was fantastic! Here for our friends 10yr anniversary (we came here then too), and she made it an awesome experience!
