| - Tonight, we took the in-laws to Carrabba's for dinner. My mother-in-law loves this place! There were 10 of us, but we were seated quickly because it was Monday night and the place was next to empty.
I ordered the Chicken Trio and a Caesar Salad. The lemon chicken was just so-so, the goat cheese chicken was just okay, but the Chicken Marsala was outstanding, yet again. While I appreciate that they use organic chicken breasts, I miss the large breasts that I am used to at other venues. No, not strip clubs! Get your mind back on the menu!
My daughter ordered Lasagna and she ate it slowly, which means she didn't like it very much. Her slow eating came to a grinding halt, so I tasted her Lasagna. It really wasn't that good. Actually, my wife bakes better Lasagna than this.
I noticed several of those at the table did not eat their garlic mashed potatoes and I wondered why. How can you screw mashed potatoes up? Or was it that my in-laws just aren't used to eating them in their native Puerto Rico. So I grabbed a fork full from an abandoned plate and tasted them. They were overpoweringly seasoned with black pepper and way too much raw garlic. Wow. They were bad. No wonder there were heaps remaining.
Then I looked at my sister-in-law and niece's plates...they too were half full of uneaten alfredo pasta. By this time, I was so full that I didn't have room to taste their pasta. But I was tempted nonetheless. I asked them how their pasta was, thinking they were simply overcome by a large portion. Nope! They both said it tasted bad.
Finally, my mother-in-law said her Beef Brasato dish (you know, the one they're advertising on TV right now) was too heavily seasoned and she didn't finish it. Since she is getting on a plane to San Juan in the morning, she said I could have her leftovers for lunch. Not sure if that is a good thing considering the not-so-great-tasting-meal that we just ate.
This is my first disappointing visit to Carrabba's and I must remove one star for the overbearing taste. Gah! I also must remove it from my favorite restaurants list too! This is getting to be a lot of work! Maybe they were training a new chef? Nope! I watched them cook the meal and they all seemed perfectly at ease.
Maybe because it was Monday it was an off night. I don't know. My water didn't get refilled until I begged a second time either.
Whatever. I'll reconsider visiting Carrabba's at this location on a Monday, to be sure.
