Comments: By far,
my personal favorite is Karla's. A delightful atmosphere with some outdoor patio seating, they have the most unique sampling of quality food and wine. How does Poached Pear, Gorgonzola and Walnut Salad or Smoked Salmon, Cucumbers and Capers Salad sound? And to move onto entrees, their Veal Cutlet Milanaise and Seared Asian Spiced Duck will send you swimming. My old favorite is the Lemon Tilapia.

I also applaud the wonderful customer service and personalized attention. They do have a separate bar area which is also partially outside. Although they are not located on the river side, the restaurant interior is very pleasing and the quaintness is enough to make you feel warm and fuzzy. This is a perfect spot for a romantic date. Not kid-recommended.

If you happen to also be a local, take advantage of their Monday night locals special which includes a soup or salad, entree and dessert from $12-19.
