Who needs date night when you have date day? My hubs and I snuck out for a baby-free lunch at Karla’s. The food was fantastic (I got the shrimp tacos and they had no business being that good!!). The environment and service even better. If you have a hankering for a casual, yet elevated weekday meal, put Karla’s on your list. It’s right off Mechanic Street and easy to overlook. They serve brunch on the weekends and European-inspired fare every night of the week. We will most definitely return.

Took a quick ride to get out of the house. My hubby and I decided we were going to have a nice bite to eat in New Hope instead of Sunday sauce. We had the best brunch at Karla's. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich. He loved it. I had the breakfast pita. In photo. We will definitely be back again.

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.

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.

Start to finish perfection! My daughter and I came for brunch and left full and happy with doggie bags in tow! Everything from service to atmosphere including music was just spot on. We WILL be back!

Nice brunch place! They offer a limited number of options for breakfast and brunch, but the food and service was amazing! We went there on a Saturday morning, and had brunch. Espresso Martini and Mimosa were both fantastic. I tried the Three Peppers Omelette and it was absolutely delicious, the accompanying home fries were also amazing! If you're ever in the area around brunch time, do try it.

Great restaurant in New Hope. Fried chicken sandwich was delicious. My burger topped with pulled pork and fried egg was fun and interesting. Everything we had was excellent. Good vide. Cocktails are fantastic, so stop in even if just for a drink. My only constructive criticism is the food needed more salt. Don't get me wrong, I like a good amount of seasoning, but my wife and I had to add fair amount of salt to both entrees. Good news is salt shakers are on every table so it didn't interfere with the experience. Did I say the cocktails were good yet?
