Great service. Fantastic with families- especially with young kids.

Tonight my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Karline’s.
Neither of us had ever been before, so we were excited to check it out. I called around 4pm hoping to snag a 6pm reservation, and while they were booked, they had a 6:30 available—which worked out perfectly. When we pulled into the parking lot and saw it was packed, I took that as a very good sign.
The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the sweetest hostess with a gorgeous smile and welcoming energy. We let her know about our reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant was full of happy diners, and despite the cozy space, it wasn’t loud or chaotic. The dim lighting and romantic atmosphere made it feel like the perfect date night spot.
We kicked things off with the fried artichokes (highly recommend!), and stuck with water to drink. For dinner, I went with the Cranberry Chicken Salad paired with a cup of minestrone soup, while my husband opted for the ribeye steak with added mushrooms and a side salad.
Everything came out in perfect timing—first the appetizer, then some warm bread and our soup/salad, and finally our entrees. The service was smooth and unhurried, which I appreciated. When the main dishes arrived, we were both surprised by how generous the portions were. My salad was crisp, fresh, and dressed just right. And my husband’s steak? Cooked to perfection and full of flavor.
We were so tempted by the crème brûlée but too full to take it on this time—next visit, for sure. The total bill came to $100, which is pretty average for a nice dinner these days.
All in all, we give Karline’s a solid 10/10. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a cozy date night vibe, definitely give them a try!

Went in for spagetti, vegans and were not told they didn't have red sauce till it was time for the entree. Really? Not going back. And charged us for the appetizer. This could have been fixed at the order. Won't be back.

Drove from Corning and Reno for a great meal. Seated directly next to bathroom, next to service station, with servers going in and out. We sat next to eachother for a more comfortable dinner. Server acknowledged after a few minutes, didn’t bother asking for a drink order for longer than a usual wait. Ordered calamari *great, followed with an order of brussel sprouts. They were under and tasted as if sautéed on a burnt pan. After a longer than usual wait server FINALLY acknowledged us and took an order. I ordered a dessert to begin and filet to follow. Server treated me as if it was the oddest thing to order a dessert before the meal. We did not receive a salad for a longer than usual wait. We had to ask for bread *cold. We received our entrees. My filet was resting on my mashed potatoes. Potatoes covered in blood, looked like pink mashers. Waited again for server who barely touched our table. He took the plate away didn’t apologize, barely acknowledged I was a human being. A woman came to the table asking what was wrong with my steak. I told her the truth, steak was over, tough and I also mentioned service was lacking. We paid for entire meal, the filet barely touched, scampi barely touched and left 20%. We will not be back. We did not feel as if we were welcome or even valued as customers.

I had the pleasure of dining at Karline's Restaurant & Bar on Saturday evening, and it was an unforgettable experience! It was our first time visiting, and we were warmly greeted and seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was exceptional - attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. He truly made our dining experience stand out.
The food was, without a doubt, the highlight of our evening. We started with the meatballs as an appetizer, and oh, the sauce was sublime! For our main courses, we opted for the Pesto Salmon in garlic herb linguine and the Pan Seared Bistro Filet. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
To cap off the meal, I indulged in the crème brûlée for dessert, Amazing!. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food, service, and ambiance at Karline's. We will most certainly be back and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
Amazing food all around and the service was excellent. Will for sure be going back!

For $130 you get amazing bruschetta, terrible drinks for two, the most sour and soggy shrimp scampi, the most sour tiramisu (actually thought it was rotten, but my date assured me it was a preservative), a wonderful server, and romantic atmosphere. The server and atmosphere are top notch, but the food and drinks were garbage for the price we paid. I could not finish my meal.

New favorite date night spot! I had the shrimp scampi and it exceeded expectations! We will be back for sure! The only thing that wasn’t incredible was my tiramisu for dessert- it did taste a tad bit stale/old/not fresh, but it was still pretty good. Overall I still give it 5/5! Most places I leave feeling heavy or my stomach feels irritated after, but here I left feeling exactly how I’d hope to feel after a good meal made with care & high quality ingredients!
