| - I don't really want to complain about the portion sizes being small....because I'm sure that most every American is used to grandeous plates across the country, but I did feel these were small. Don't worry though, I still stuffed my face and left feeling like if I could just once be anorexic, this was the day. (No offense to the food disorder peeps, however I doubt they're reading the Carrabas reviews either).
Anywho... It ended up being 1/2 price appetizers time when we arrived after a long day in Sedona and outlet mall-ing. (Great, cuz I'm near broke now!) We ordered calamari and shrimp scampi, and yes....you can bring me more bread too. Calamari seemed like a 1/2 order for 1/2 price compared to what I'm used to in Chicagoland. (Oh yeah, you're from Chicago too?! You don't say!) I do have to say these tasted a bit old, or freezer burned, or something off.... Scampi was delish tho... I wanna say 8 large shrimp surrounded by oh yeah, more bread please. But we scarfed them down drowning out shopping woes.
After that we moved on to one of the new small plates...stuff mushrooms. And they appeared almost instantly! Amazing. (Sorry to whomever these might have been for?!) So good, and so hot....4 hours later I can still tell you where that first bite hit my tongue, #templossoftastebuds. But also delish. Naturally, we debated gastric bypass and purging, but decided to order side Caesars as our 'entree', heh. Oh and some extra dressing on the side to dip the, crap (out of bread) more please?
And of course, after trading in the rental smart car for an escalade across the street to fit our newly stretched jeans into, we settled on the chocolate dreamy, cakey, frosting, dreamy, add some extra calories on top dessert....to go. (Cause eating it right there might have been grounds for a gold metal).
All in all, always great food. Portions were a bit small (but it's not like I left there starving by any means). Will be back, no questions. And to top it off, Jessica, our server - amazing. She was right there with more water, more iced tea, more bread, more menus, without even asking. Snaps to Jessica!
