My family has been going to Karling's for years, on every trip to Florida to visit my grandparents. My husband and I took my grandmother there in Dec 2008 & had a suprisingly horrible experience. Karling's must be under new management. Our orders were wrong. My grandmother's fish was cold in the center (it had simply been reheated). My "medium-well" prime rib special was bleeding. Our twice-baked potatoes had been baked twice and microwaved once as well...when you reheat a potato in the microwave, it burnse the bottom skin..this is what ours looked like. The owner/manager (a woman, and not the one that we have seen there for years) tried to shove a bottle of wine down my throat that I did not want & wasn't interested in drinking. When we politely asked them to cook my prime rib longer, she acted appalled that we would ask that & refused to do so. She was rude, irrational, and completely unrpofessional.
This place should absolutely be on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. It was by far the absolute worst restaurant experience I have ever had.
