| - Funny thing, I lived in Tampa and there was a Carrabba's next door. Yet, I never once walked in. However, I noticed one here in Henderson. So, my wife and I decided to try it out.
We were there at around 5pm (we felt like old people coming at the open -- woo hoo --- yay baby, dining with the old folks home -- i am so bad). By being there early, the great thing was that the restaurant had lots of tables and lots of waiters to provide excellent service. Rocking roll man!
Anyways, our waiter was very pleasant and took care of us. Water was filled, drinks were takened promptly.
We ordered the following dishes:
Appetizers -- Calamari and the Brushetta
-- The calamari was a bit smaller than we expected. However, it tasted very good with their pepper/lemon butter sauce (low fat ... hee hee)
-- The bruschette was okay. By the way, I am not a bruchette fan. My wife loves it. So, we have to order what she likes. Personally, the bread is too hard for my likening. Instead, I like warm rolls and butter ~ wish more restaurants have honey butter -- oooh la la...
Entree:
-- My wife ordered the Shrimp Scampi -- Of course, i tried it too. I wished they had more shrimp though! Yes, shrimp was cooked perfectly -- not overdone! By the way, everytime we dine out, when they bring our meal, my fork is digging into her plate before they even put it down... and vice versa... we just love food. I can't believe I am not the size of a Michelin Tire Dude now... I just happen to wear dark clothes, a cape, and shift my weight properly.. LOL...!!
-- I ordered the Pasta Weesie... note: I orderd this because of the funky Weesie name. Sounds like somebody peeing --- like taking a whizz... sometimes, I am so strange. Back to the dish, it was really good. I love the afredo sauce (good balance of taste and texture! and the sauteed mushrooms were yummy!). Now, if they had shrimp AND chicken, it would have been great (kinda like the Macaroni Grille - where you can pick and choose items).
Dessert:
We both split a John Cole (basically, ice cream with caramel and some nuts on top -- of course, it is low fat -- just kidding)
Honestly, for a party of two, we kinda ordered a bit too much food. We had to bring some home for lunch the next day. For 2 nice size appetizers, 2 main entrees, dessert, and drinks, our meal totals to a bit under $70 (excluding tips). Overall, we had a pleasant dinner. I would recommend this place. In a way, I prefer and do think this is better than the Olive Garden (excluding the salads of course).
We definitely would be back.
