Reviews for Karat Bar and Bistro in Wichita Falls, TX
Not worth the money. I understand that this is supposed to be fine dining, sure. There's nothing actually "fine" about it, with... a cheap posh atmosphere and over priced food. This is supposed to be a dining experience, sure. This isn't so much about thequality of the food, but if I'm paying for a 6oz filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and I get an order of duck cookedmedium rare, I expect them to come out at the same time so my wife's steak doesn't go cold, and my duck came out ten minuteslater and cooked well done. And the waitress did a amazing job, though it was just her with a party of 20ish people. If you'regoing to charge that much, I would've expected a way better outcome of food and actually prepared the way a customer asks forit. Not a great experience overall, and definitely not worth the price, too. Will not be going back. Read more
Two servers and a bartender working this morning with only 1 couple seated when I entered. Took 5 mins to get me sat as the... staff was busy chatting and ignored me as I entered. Food was okay but the biscuit was overly dry and the gravy lacked anyflavor. Both coffee and water never refilled and finally got noticed as I was finishing breakfast as the staff continued to talkin the bar area. The atmosphere is nice and has potential but the staff is subpar and really lacks a professional attentiveattitude. Read more
Just had brunch on Sunday with family visiting. The service was great. The floors were terribly sticky and dirty, we got there... right after it opened. The potatoes with the breakfast items were awful, it was like eating potato chips. Some of the flowers inthe vase were dead and light music would be nice even when the DJ is not there. We love the atmosphere and the food is good. Read more
I visited this bistro a week ago with 6 other people. Really cute stylish place. The waitress was also helpful and friendly.... Unfortunately, several of our meals didn't live up to the same standard. Several of the items we requested were unavailable...surprising since we arrived at 7:15. I ordered the roasted beet salad with candied pecans, goat cheese, and pears.Unfortunately for those of us who ordered this, the salad arrived without candied pecans. When I asked I was told they were out,so when I asked they brought me raw un-toasted pecans to add to the salad. Frankly, I think the candied pecan shortage shouldhave been mentioned at the time we ordered, as this was a crucial component. My beets were undercooked and the pear slices wereslightly crunchy. I also had the onion soup -- the flavor was excellent, but I found two bay leaves in my small cup of soup. Theduck egg rolls were bland. My friend ordered shrimp and grits She said the shrimp was good, but the grits were undercooked andshe didn't eat them. The group agreed that the cupcakes they had for dinner were very good. I do think this restaurant needs abit of fine tuning. It's a bit pricey to be delivering disappointing food. Read more
Arrived at 11, didn’t get my food for an hour. Wasn’t terribly busy, had four waiters. Had plenty of coffee and water... refills. Forgot our appetizer and one of my lunch friends’ French toast seemingly had a hair in his toast. Food was fine,warm, and delicious, but the service speed and inattentiveness is a big turn off. First and last visit. Read more
I absolutely love this place! It's a cool, quiet, upscale environment. I've gotten hooked on the lamb chops and brussel sprouts.... The first time I had lambchop was from here, so they set a high standard for any other business. Even the French fries weregreat! When I think of taking someone to a "fancy dining experience", this is my first choice. Oh yeah, and the customer serviceis top notch! Read more
Really cute place! Gets busy, so best to come here to have a nice, long conversation with your company. Had the trio eggs... benedict and it tasted good! All the eggs benedict dishes came with rosemary potatoes. Even though it looks overcooked, ittasted good and not burned. As a group of 4, our orders came after 40 mins, but everything looked good and was cooked well.Waiter came over every so often to refill coffee and drinks. Not sure if they have vegan friendly menu items but my lactosesensitive friend was able to order something easily. Read more
We had the pleasure of dining here while visiting our son and his wife the very first week they moved to Wichita Falls. What a... great experience. I love the history of the building and the restaurant's play on the name. ????The service was top notch andthe food and drinks were definitely worth coming back for! All 4 of us ordered different meals and each was superb. We happenedto visit on Whiskey Wednesday when doubles are the price of a single. ???? The guys enjoyed whisky while the ladies had anassortment of cocktails with names themed after the jewelry store history of the building. Looking forward to our next visit tothe town for a second go at this lovely restaurant! Read more
