Haven't been to Carrabba's in a while, so I suggested this place for dinner with a new guy I just met. He had never heard of Carrabba's, so we went. I had a nice glass of pinot noir at the bar prior to dinner while waiting for our seats. Only waited about 5 minutes. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms to start and they were delish! The bread is good, crisp on the outside, soft in the middle. My date ordered chicken noodle soup and I don't know....it came out the color of minestrone which prompted me to ask our server if it was indeed minestrone and not chicken noodle as he requested. She very rudely advised me that their minestrone does not have pasta noodles in it, so it is definitely not minestrone. So....the broth is now tomato-ey in chicken noodle soup then? Did they run low on each one and combine them together? I'm not quite sure. Whatever, he said he liked it. I ordered the Caesar salad and it was good. For our entrees, he had the lobster ravioli and enjoyed those. I had the chicken bryan and it was delish as were the garlic mashed potatoes that had the ice cream scoop shape. It's Carrabba's...it's fancy schmancy -ish...can you mash the scoops of potatoes down a bit to at least make us think you just made them? lol
