text: I normally don't write reviews but I just had to after my experience last night. Pretty much in a nutshell, it's 9pm on a Thurs, my husband & I go to get a quick bite. My Arnold Palmer was disgustingly tart, the bread was borderline stale, & service a joke. I order off their holiday special menu with all the wine dishes. It was the shrimp & scallop linguine in champagne cream sauce (with roasted red peppers & mushrooms). It takes longer to arrive than usual, by another waitress, so when a plate of shrimp a la vodka over linguine (simply shrimp, pasta & diced tomatoes in vodka sauce) is placed in front of me naturally I think she made a mistake. Nope! In her words, \"they ran out of the champagne sauce so they used the vodka cream sauce instead.\" OH DID THEY? Glad I was consulted in the decision making of what I'll be eating for dinner. I guess at Carrabba's the customer doesn't get to chose what they eat. The best part was when our server suddenly appeared after his long break with no apology or explanation. Oh & no manager either. Yea it's safe to say we'll never return.
