| - It's my daughter's first birthday.....and it's new years eve.
My guy got off of work early, and we got there shortly after four when it opened. BOY OH BOY, did we come at just the right time!
First criticism,
The entrance of this restaurant is too small. You walk maybe about 2 feet, and you are running into the hostess desk. To the left there is a small seating area... but be prepared to have people breathing on you, even if there are just two people standing in front of you, waiting to speak with the hostess.
First compliment,
we were seated no problem. as soon as we told her two and a high chair, our menus AND THE HIGH CHAIR were grabbed, and we were at a table.
More compliments.
Our waiter was nice, and greeted us. We got our drink orders (water, extra ice, with lemon) a beer, and a double shot for my guy....and it was a TRUE double shot.
The bread was delivered warm to us, along with the spices (aka CRACK) and olive oil. We stole the bottle of balsamic off of the table next to us after they left. The spice combination, and the olive oil is some of the best we have ever had....other places need to take a lesson from Carrabbas.
We ordered the crab cakes as an app, they were probably $11 or $12. They were good, and flavorful, but small. I mean, breakfast patties were bigger than these babies.
I completely forgot what my guy ordered, but he said it was BOMB.com.
I ordered the Chicken bryan, chicken "fire finished" with a lemon sauce, fresh basil, and goat cheese. I got the cavatappi pasta, and a cup of their sausage and lentil soup.
Soup, was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Perfectly seasoned, a little bit of spice...Kept me coming back for more. I could have had an entire dinner out of that alone. My chicken bryan was good, the only thing I wish i could have changed about it was the whole "fire finishing", I don't like the crispy burnt chicken ends...I think that would be done better in a pan.
The waiter came by with as much bread and oil as we wanted, and he had a good sense of humor.
The two things that kind of bummed me out about this place.....
One waitress kept putting in tickets wrong. We turned down some one elses' food at least twice....and watched our soup and salad walk around the entire restaurant, until i made eye contact with the runner.
...You need to know which tables are yours.
So they "don't really sing happy birthday here "..... Womp womp....The waiter informed us of that. He did offer us a decent sized ice cream bowl for our baby, which was complimentary.
Overall, it was worth the visit, the time, and the money. Awesome.
Skip Ventanos, Olive Garden, or where ever the heck you get "Italian"
....Carrabba's won't be a waste of your time.
