Karlines Restaurant & Bar

If you are on Redding I would highly suggest this Italian restaurant. One of the best services I ever received. The food portions were really good. Food was very tasty. We asked them no meat pasta as we are vegetarian and they were kind enough to replace them with seasonal veggies which most of the restaurants don't, resulting in smaller portions. They quickly tended to all our baby's needs like cups with a swirly straw and cutlery for our one year old.

Went for our 18th anniversary. We got seated immediately without reservations. I suggest having a reservation if going after 6 pm. Quick service with amazing waiter named Hunter. Our meals were so delicious. Salad with crumble blue cheese...

I can't say enough great things about Karline's. We had appetizers, drinks, dinner, and dessert and it was all exceptional. The delicious meal was made even better by some of the best service I've ever received. Nichole was our waitress and she was fantastic. Always appearing at just the right moment without ever being too much. Amanda was also around regularly to ensure anything we needed was handled. The food isn't cheap, but considering the quality and quantity of the dishes served the prices were very reasonable.

Only reason I didn't go 5 stars is the Jambalaya wasn't what I expected. But I found out it was done right! So I'm changing the star rating from 4 to a 5. They knew what they were doing. I had the Jambalaya wrong.
The Lasagna, Chicken Marsala, and Chicken Quinoa were excellent. The waitress was top notch, great.

Had another great dinner last night.8-11-23
Everything was very tasty and had great service.

The food was excellent, the best as compared to other restaurants. It was one of the best dinners out we have had in some time. I have no complaints, the only thing we found less than five stars was the crowding and the noise and the hard heavy chairs but a small price to pay for a quality restaurant. They were very busy including some large parties. Our waitress was very pleasant and overall, we had an outstanding dinner out exceeding our expectations.

We stopped at this restaurant as we were passing through town and had an overwhelmingly pleasant experience! Nice clean atmosphere, kind and friendly staff that went above and beyond, and amazing food, we will most certainly be back!

Had dinner there multiple times with a very large group and each time the service has been amazing. I forget the waiters name, but he wears glasses. He is very attentive to our needs and we never have to ask for refills. The food is outstanding! I'll admit I get the same thing every time cause I'm a creature of habit, but the ribeye has never let me down.

We've seen many reviews and we're anxious to try this fine dining restaurant. Well let me tell you words and photos cannot and do not do this place justice! Karlines is an amazing food and dining experience. Hunter was our server and his attention and personality is absolutely perfect. He was always there at the perfect time and engaged in wonderful conversations.
Now let's talk about the food. We started with the cranberry apple walnut salad. We did substitute blue cheese for the feta, but hands down this is the most amazing salad we have ever experienced! The next course was bread and house made soup. The soup of the day was minestrone, not my favorite, until tonight! The bread, dip and soup complimented each other perfectly.
On to the entree, chicken marsala. Chicken and heavenly sauce over mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and perfectly prepared Brussel sprouts, broccoli, and carrots.
All this with a bottle of perfectly chilled bottle of pinot grigio! We couldn't even finish it all but dinner was so fantastic, we had to get a lemon cheesecake to go!
If in Redding California, do not miss out on a chance to experience dining at its finest! Karlines......

Most excellent service! The food? Unbelievably savory! We had their mouth watering steamed clams to start, followed by a Cobb salad with blackened chicken and shrimp scampi. It was phenomenal. Don't miss your new favorite cocktail: the blackberry lavender lemon drop! It's like a Wonka invention- the myriad of flavors, in just the right order, and in just the right amount, will have you completely amazed.

The atmosphere at Karline's is visually fancy, yet feels very relaxed, with just a touch of reserve, creating the ambiance for a truly perfect dining experience! 5+ stars!

Oh yes, and there is plenty of parking!

Wonderful service. Food was awesome! Thank you for making our 15 year anniversary wonderful. Our waiter was kind enough to bring out a desert with a pink and blue set of candles. Sorry, we missed pictures of the delicious main course.

We have dined out in a lot of restaurants in Redding and last night we went to Karlines. We were very impressed. All of the food was outstanding and our waiter was fantastic! We are definitely going back soon. Thank you for perfection! We also loved that the entrees come with soup or salad and that fresh delicious bread is also served.

Went to View 202 to celebrate my husband's birthday. There was a 45 min wait so we decided to try a new place. Googled and found this gem! It may not have the view element but the food was 10 times better then view202!!! What a find!! This will definitely be our new place to go for celebration and when relatives come to town!! The staff couldn't have been nicer too. We did not have reservations but they sat us right away.

Consistently fantastic fare everytime we visit. Excellent staff and absolutely delectable fare. As we slowly work our way through the entire menu, every single single item we've tried has been perfect, full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Our favorite dining experience in town.

WOW, JUST WOW!
My experience from making the reservation to paying the check was absolutely phenomenal.
The staff went above and beyond for my mom's 80th birthday dinner.
Our server Nichole and her " support" staff were attentive, kind, and extremely efficient.
The food was absolutely delicious.
7 different dishes, salads and soups all prepared to perfection.
6 out of the 7 of us had never been to Karlines before.....but we will surely be back!!!

A place to take your best girl. Classy appointments, superior &friendly staff, first rate chow and you can both have ice cream for a light desert for less than the price of three scoops at Rite Aid. Soup & half sandwich of the day is a real bargain ($10) and you won't be hungry, I promise. The meat on my sandwich stuck out all around. Fancy enough for an aniversary but I don't know if they can hit your back-to-work target if you're in a hurry. Say hi to Jeremy for me. DOUG out

I had a great prime rib and a wonderful time. Sever was very friendly and helpful. I will go back again.

Went to Karlines for the first time since it was Girondas. Well the food was better, as was the service and atmosphere. My wife and I enjoyed it greatly! We especially liked the Steamed Clams and the Chocolate Pie. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for a wonderful date night.

My first time there was Valentine’s Day for a first date and I’m not sure why I’ve never been in before! The food was melt in your mouth amazing!! We had a great server who took care of us with a smile, the atmosphere was perfect and again the food is amazing. Thanks for making our first date a night to remember. I cannot wait to go back and have another meal. Still drooling over those stuffed mushrooms with chipotle crema... YUM.

What a wonderful hidden gem this place is! The waitress was absolutely excellent. The wine was delicious and the food was even better. I tried clams for the first time and they didn't disappoint. Definitely a place worth trying and oh my gosh that lemon berry cake 😍

The Lasagna was excellent. So much we had enough to take half home for left overs. Don't forget pumpkin cheese cake and Chocolate Silk pie for dessert!
