| - Carrabba's Italian Grill isn't your typical chain restaurant. There is an intangible quality that is featured on every plate that the competition can't replicate. Carrabba's consistently gives you the impression that components are made from scratch, entrees are cooked to order and you are the only table in the dining room.
I've dined at their well known industry counterparts. Comparatively speaking, I've never received an entree from the Carrabba's kitchen which had over cooked pasta (leering at MG) or lasagna which was still frozen in the middle (scowling at OG).
Carrabba's also happens to be my girlfriends favorite restaurant. So without any hesitation, we planned an entire day together, capped off with dinner at Carrabba's, to celebrate Mother's Day. The rest of the day was fun and relaxing, and so was our dinner.
The wait was short, the hosts were very friendly and the service was excellent! None of this is new to us as we've dined at the Avondale Carrabba's numerous times previously.
We are known creatures of habit when it comes to their menu because there are some entrees that are simply too good to resist (Chicken Bryan). So I can appreciate that Carrabba's updates the menu regularly and introduces different proteins with familiar preparations. For example, my girlfriend ordered the Trout Nocciola, which features an excellent lemon butter sauce and is crusted with almonds. I wish I had also selected her entree!
Not that my Lobster Ravioli wasn't equally enjoyable. From the Sangria to the bread, and everything in between, this meal was one of our favorites. When you factor in all the memories from other excellent experiences enjoyed at Carrabba's over the years, there is no reason why we won't continue to patronize this restaurant. Grazi!
