We celebrated our wedding anniversary and birthday today at the Carrabbas restaurant of Miami Lakes. We were welcomed and seated right away. Our server, named Valerie was THE BEST— she was very friendly (and we saw her being friendly to the other diners too). She and her fellow servers even sang to us in Italian, while we got a complementary dessert. Thank you, Valerie, for your hospitality.

Everything was delicious. Except Scallops were burnt.

This is by far the slowest restaurant that is currently open. The one on the strip in Belden village is the worst. Everybody does a lot of standing around and talking. I came in and ate and was there an hour and a half before I was done and then went back and ordered to go one time and waited 26 minutes in the lobby while everyone stood around. I would rather go anywhere else please stay away

Having never been here before, I was eager to have a wonderful Italian meal as I had heard all good things about the food; what a HUGE disappointment! Bad night? The ravioli was slapped in front of me in a watery tomato soup concoction, NO WAY did it come close to an Italian pasta sauce! The salad was swimming in dressing that made it a soggy mess. On a good note our waitress was terrific, far superior to the young man who slopped my “sauce” all over the table

My wife and I have been loyal patrons of Chesapeake Carrabba’s Italian Grill for years. We recently had Lunch a few days ago and have to say the quality of the food as well as the service has really gone downhill. Here are a few of our observations where things were off the mark. Being diabetic, I ordered unsweet tea, and was served sweet tea (had to re-order). We had to ask for bread plates in order to enjoy the fresh bread. I love their Caesar Salad with grilled chicken – so ordered it asking for no croutons which is my usual order. It was delivered with croutons and it was drowning in Caeser Dressing (never had it that heavy before, ever). Needless to say, it ruined the salad and for a $17 salad, that is saying something. My wife ordered the lunch trio with Italian salad, fettuccini alfredo, and minestrone soup. The Italian salad was also swimming in salad dressing and the alfredo was overloaded with parmesan cheese. Unsure what has happened since we were there a few weeks ago, but am hoping this is just a blip on the radar versus how things will be going forward. Certainly not up to what I would characterize as Carrabba’s higher quality standards.

Went to Carrabas in Tonawanda/Amherst, NY. Tried a couple times before. They were busy. Once they were not but was told would be an hour wait although restaurant half empty. When finally did, stood for 10 minutes before being seated (with no one behind or in front of us) while hostess gave waitresses instructions and discussed who was on the floor, etc. First contact was waitress telling us to "give me that bottle" so she could put oil in the herbs for the bread. It was overly garlicy. Next was the salad with dinner. Drenched in salad dressing and soggy. This all played out in a half hour time. The main course took an hour to receive. Bolognese with meatballs. The bolognese sauce was excellent. Went to eat some of the meatballs. They smelled bad and tasted absolutely horrible. My husband thought it was me and almost gagged before he could even taste them. Could not tell the waitress there may be a problem with their meatballs being rotten because she never appeared until it was time to take our plates and give us a bill. Will never return and will let anyone who is thinking of trying the restaurant know of our experience.

Our waitress, Sarah, was the best! We were served everything promptly and our every need was anticipated. She was such a blessing to us! We ate at the Carrabba's in West Ocean City, MD.

Been going to Carrabba's in Canton, MI for years. My favorite restaurant until recently. All their Alfredo dishes have very little Alfredo Sauce. All you can taste is the pasta. Either they have a new chef or are intentionally skimping on the sauce.
