The food was really good though the menu has few choices. You start with warm baguette and butter. Then you get a bowl of French onion soup followed by a salad. The entrées are Prime New York steak, Prime Ribeye (which my husband and I had), Prime Filet Mignon, Atlantic Salmon, Maine Lobster Tail, and Surf & Turf. We were given a large piece of lemon cake by the manager because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. I would definitely go back.

One of the best places to eat in California. I love coming here for my anniversary, it is a special place to visit. The staff are kind and welcoming, the atmosphere is beautiful and makes you feel pampered. The food is always on spot and we have never been disappointed. Even the dishes are just beautiful. Love this place!

This place is closed. The online system will let you submit reservations, but the actual restaurant is 100% closed. Unfortunately, you can only communicate via email, which seems like an automated "Confirmation" from their website contact link. I should have assumed they weren't really open when they never called me back on my phone. Don't make the mistake of believing this restaurant is open.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I was so excited when I heard this place had re-opened and it did not disappoint. I had been to this restaurant a number of times in the past and absolutely loved the food, the only draw back in the past was service was a little slow but totally understandable because it was a small family operation. Now with 2 owners and more employees, the service problem has been taken out of the equation. They were super attentive. The surf and turf was amazing!!! hard to say which I liked better, the filet or the lobster tail. Having the french onion soup was like tapping into a core memory, it was EXACTLY as amazing as I remembered it. An absolutely incredible meal start to finish, will definitely return again for a special occasion. As boyfriend said about the steak "11/10".

I had wanted to eat The Dutch Frontier for years .. when I heard that it reopened in October my husband and some good friends of ours had dinner at this iconic fine dining restaurant. The food and service are exceptional . Josh our bartender made me on the best lemon drop martinis I have ever had. If you enjoy fine dining this place will not disappoint and make room for the homemade cheese cake. One of the best meals I have ever had and SO worth the drive!!

I called on May 25 and made a reservation for Saturday June 3rd at 5:30pm. We had out of town guests and were so excited to take them to Dutch Frontier! We hadn't dined here since the change of ownership and we were super anxious to go back. We arrived around 5:25pm on Saturday June 3rd and there was not a soul around. Parking lot was empty and the restaurant was dark. We waited and kept ringing the buzzer hoping they may have been running late. I called, there was no answer, so I left a message. We finally left on the hour long drive back to Bakersfield, all of us hungry and not happy! It is now the following Wednesday and I still have not heard a peep from them!! Thankfully we didn't rent a limo, as we had done in the past! So sad and disappointing, this used to be an absolutely amazing place.

Food was excellent. We arrived late in the evening, and they accommodated our meals. Service is exceptional and cool atmosphere. We drove from Bakersfield to have something different and we're not disappointed. Will return.

People think this place is closed but it's not. It's just open on weekends and only after 5pm. Some of the best lobster in the whole entire world here. Most amazing Madonna inn atmosphere and self playing piano.
