Came in with a friend around 6 for dinner on a Tuesday. We were able to get a seat immediately. Cute place and cozy decor. The outdoor seating is nice.
The staff was friendly. They have prime rib Tuesdays so we were excited to try it out. All the food came out at a good pace.
Let me start off by saying their cocktails are absolutely phenomenal. Completely saved the meal because the rest really wasn't all that impressive. The creamsicle is amazing. It's got just enough cream, the orange juice was so fresh, and the tang gave it a nice brightness. It was boozy and absolutely perfect. The mango martini had what I believe is the freshest mango juice I've ever had. I couldn't believe how good it was.
For starters we got the ahi tuna tostadas. It comes topped with seaweed and spicy mayo. There was 2 tostadas stacked on top of each other with an even amount of tuna and seaweed on each except the bottom layer didn't contain any spicy mayo. Otherwise would have made it easy to split amongst 2 people to just take a stack. Either way the dish had no salt on it at all. The spicy mayo wasn't enough for seasoning. Also the tuna was either soaking in some kind of acid like lime juice or something cause it had a mushy texture.
For entrees we opted for the 18oz prime rib. I got medium while she got medium rare. The waiter mixed ours up. The moment I cut into it I could tell mine was more rare than hers. Either way both were overcooked. Never had prime rib this tough before. I think they seared the outside too long. It was seasoned nicely though and the baked potato was okay. The au jus was tasty.
For dessert I got the coconut cake and man was that thing pretty dry.

Loveee the aesthetic of this place, adorable feels like another country. Great, friendly service. The mac was really good, empanadas were just okay, a little dry. The sauce helped, it was yummy. Beef emps might be better option to avoid the dryness. The espresso martini wasn't the style I prefer (foam/beans) but good regardless.

It was a very busy Saturday night, and they handled it gracefully. The friendly server and the lovey host were just the best. The food was tasty, and the drinks were perfect. It was a great way to cap the night after attending the Bucks County Playhouse.
Had the Fried Chicken Sandwich and Miso Glazed Salmon, which both were wonderful. The salmon was the most crispy and delightful salmon I have ever had. The vibes and overall location are great, easy access to get to, right on the corner, and the people watching is also an added treat.

New Hope was crazy busy on Saturday 10/19, but after short wait my wife and I were able to get a table. We waited only a few minutes for our waitress to arrive and take our drink order. Our apple sangrias arrived quickly thereafter and our appetizer and dinners were served sooner than expected considering how busy they were.
This was our second time dining at Karla’s and it won’t be our last. Food, service and atmosphere was great.

Ehh is about as good as I can say. Food was average but the wait time was awful, probably under staffed. The waiter took our order and never saw them again. The service was awful. Sadly, I would never take the chance to try it again due to the food being just average. Not too special, probably better food options at the food court

Stopped in for a night cap after dinner with some friends in New Hope. We were able to get a table near the bar. The servers were great. The espresso martini was great. I suggest asking for whipped cream. Karla's was another great experience in New Hope. We can't wait to return to try the food.

We recently discovered Karla's Restaurant, a hidden gem in new hope that transported us back in time with its enchanting, old-fashioned rustic vibe. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by its vintage look. Our server was friendly and welcoming. We tried shrimp tacos, and they were really above and beyond from our expectations. We would definitely come again to try more items from their menu.
