Mardi Gras Dinner for a Cause

About This Event

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Join us for a night where great food, great music, and doing good all come together at Chef Lino’s PRIME.

For one night only, PRIME transforms into a Mardi Gras celebration—complete with a custom Cajun-inspired menu crafted by Chef Lino himself, bursting with bold flavors and Southern flair. Pair that with live jazz and brass music, a lively dining room, and a festive, come-as-you-are vibe, and you’ve got a party worth planning your week around.

There’s no program. No speeches. No pressure.
Just clinking glasses, swinging rhythms, and a room full of people enjoying an incredible meal for an even better reason.

And here’s the best part: 50% of every plated ticket goes directly to Catholic Charities of Bakersfield, supporting food assistance, housing help, and vital services for local families who need it most. Every bite gives back.

✨ Eat well.
🎶 Sway to the music.
💜 Give back—without missing a beat.

Come hungry, come festive, and come ready to celebrate for a cause.

Let the good times (and good deeds) roll!

Two Reservation Times Available:
5:30 pm or 7:00 pm
