“Happy we stopped here!We did two wine tastings and a wine slush. Per the server recommendation, we did half rose half Zinfandel and it did not disappoint! We mostly loved that it was not overly sweet, a perfect balance.To top it off their fall decor was a nice touch!Also, they have different events going on such as live music, we’ll definitely be back to check them out!“

“Came here Monday with my son and parents and enjoyed this cute little restaurant. It was a bit slow in the service area but the longer we were there, the more people came in. It was very busy and they seemed to not have much staff. I definitely don't miss working in the restaurant industry. Huge apologies to the employees working for having to deal with my father being mad at every little thing and him complaining. He refused to leave a tip so I left one instead without him knowing lol. There's no reason to take it out on our servers when the delay is the kitchen and the restaurant is busy. I would love to come again to try the French Toast.“

“Went to dinner here around Christmas time and had a great experience. The staff start off the night introducing and telling a fun fact about themselves. Definitely different than any dining experience I've had before, but unique. They also go over the four courses, in detail, which is nice.First course was a spinach and cranberry salad. Really good dressing and lots of bacon. I'm not a big salad fan, but this was good. My wife, who is a salad fan, loved it.Second course was Lobster Bisque. Honestly, this was probably the favorite part of the meal for myself and my two daughters. It will really, really good, tons of taste/flavor.The main course was deconstructed Beef Wellington, which I think basically means the steak is outside of the pastry. It sat on top of I guess what you would call pated (not even sure that's a thing) mushrooms. This was all really good. Maybe not the best steak I have ever eaten, but very good.Dessert was a Peppermint Brule Cheesecake. This was good, but I'm not a huge peppermint fan, so that didn't do it for me. The carmelized brule on the top of it was a nice touch, though.The one inconsistency I saw was in the wine prices. The two cabs they had on the menu were $20 and $28 per glass. I only tried the $20 cab, Crown Point Relevant, which was fantastic. The $28 cab was for a wine I wouldn't consider near that price range and ratings on it aren't great. There was also a red blend that was $12 per glass for a bottle you can get for $14. And I know you're always paying a premium for wine (or liquor in general) at a restaurant, but I look for pricing that is commensurate with quality/value.The servers here were great, very attentive, very friendly. They do add a 20% Service Charge/Tip, but that is clearly stated. Overall, was a great, unique experience.“

“I have eaten at KarensLittle Cafe for the last ten years! The food is always excellent! Fresh and just like home made! The staff is friendly and helpful! The only down side that I have found is that, because they are so popular, it sometimes takes awhile to get your order! My suggestion is don't go at regular meal times!“

“Ummm... YUM!! I was not a big fan of Fatburger after my first experience, but I decided to give them another try since we were walking around Thunder Valley. It was earlier than we normally eat, but we did skip breakfast. So, in the food court, with many tables and chairs set up for our convenience, we made our way over to order our craving for a juicy burger... but would it hit the spot? Fatburger offers burgers, of course. Up to a 1 pound burger! Can you believe that's what we went with?! Well, we were splitting it, so that's ok. We added on extra lettuce, onions, cheese, sides of ranch, and mayo. We knew this burger would fill us up. From how I remember their food tasting, there was not any seasoning on the burger. When they called out that our order was ready, I requested some salt and pepper packets. The women behind the counter were friendly with kind faces. They were very polite (don't forget to tip!) We cut our burger in half and admired how the burger ingredients were stacked. The nicely melted cheese. Warm toasted bun... our mouths were salivating. After the first bite... I felt like it definitely needed salt and pepper. My man said his half was perfect the way it was... as he dipped in ranch and mayo. Their ranch is delicious (delicious ranch is very important!) We devoured our delicious 1-pound burger. It was around $13 for this split lunch and worth every penny. I was left more impressed this time than I was last time I was here. Our burger was juicy, and I loved the fresh produce on it. It gave our burger different consistencies and flavors that I crave. I look forward to the next time we come back!“
