The food: Portions are huge, the burgers are great, Mac n cheese isn't too shabby either. REALLY good fries. I hear they cut their own steaks in house but personally I haven't ordered one, the picture below was a friends and kinda tough. If you like an adult beverage, they've got a well stocked bar with local beers and a decent whiskey selection The French Onion Soup was really good. I've had worse and haven't had much better I didn't care for seared tuna but appreciated the creative liberty with the sauce Here's the real deal.....I like this place. The food isn't going to win a Michelin Star but you can tell the Kitchen is invested in the craft. The restaurant is relaxed, casual, and the people are super friendly. If you're in business attire just leaving work or bibs and boots leaving the river....this place is for you.

I had a terrible experience here. I've been to this pool bar before and was told by staff that if…read moreno one comes by to help quickly, it's okay to grab the pool balls and start playing. So I did exactly that -- nothing out of line. Suddenly, a worker that I'm familiar with named Joe , cussed me out, and kicked me out in front of everyone. Totally unprofessional and uncalled for. I wasn't being rude, I wasn't causing problems -- just following what I'd been told on previous visits. This review is not the for the restaurant itself but more for the specific worker that I've had a multiple issues with before.

I finally got to a point in my life where I could take my father out for a nice dinner rather than him taking me out. Carina's did not disappoint! The service was phenomenal, I had the lemon garlic fish and he had a pasta dish and both were fantastic. We also ordered old fashions (alcohol) and how they delivered it with a multitude of shaped and crafted ice as well as a selection of wood chips they smoke on the drink was impressive to say the least. Little expensive, but you leave feeling the money was worth it. As someone that's traveled a lot and seeks the nicest places wherever I'm at, I would say Carina's is the peak of dining in Wasilla. Food, service, and drinks were memorable and I will certainly go back for special occasions. Plus- the ambience and atmosphere are welcoming and warming and you are there for an experience not just food. Shout out to the waiter he was beyond excellent.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt elevated but still welcoming, perfect for a celebration. The setting by the lake adds such a beautiful touch, even in the winter and the whole experience just felt a little extra special. The menu has something for everyone, from incredible steaks to fresh seafood, and you can really tell they focus on quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were generous without feeling overdone. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to and recommending to friends and family. If you've been thinking about trying it, don't wait like we did... it's absolutely worth it!

We walk into a great view of a small but pleasant lake out side of a large dining area. They have a spacious bar that seats 12 and and coincidentally 12 wonderful beers on tap. Unfortunately the liquor selection is really thin but it looks poised to fill. I ordered a Elysian Space Dust IPA. It came fairly quickly considering the soft opening jitters. Thankfully the cold glass and great beer made the long wait for food relaxing. The owner introduced herself and did her best to acknowledge the 1st day bumps but brush off the stress. The cowboy burger finally arrived! 1/2 lb patty stuffed with brisket on a on a fresh hearty homemade bun, offered up with the traditional offerings. The 1/2 lb patty was really small and didn't come close to filling the bun, but it was thick and stuffed full of deliciousness. The plus side.... it was damn good. I wish it had been much bigger for $16.95 but damn good....... damn good!!! For desert was a homemade apple crumble with Vanilla ice cream. All I can say is .... Damn! On point doesn't come close to explaining how good it is. I really look forward to eating here again. These guys can cook! Here for my second time enjoying the sun on the beautiful deck. Ducks and Lilly pads fill the landscape. I ordered the spicy jack burger. 1 word... Holy Sh$t... unbelievably delicious, and the Peanut butter pie.... I'm in love. My new favorite place!
