Carrabba's - The Original On Kirby
What people are saying
The restaurant environment is pleasant, and the staff is amiable. Reservation would be a better choice during rush hours. The dishes are excellent and delicious. Don't forget to try their desserts; they make your day/night 😉😊.
Had a great lunch over at Carrabba's today. I had The Smoked Salmon Ravioli, and it was delicious with lots of flavor. My girlfriend had the crab cakes. She enjoyed the texture, which was layered with real lump crab meat, Excellent prompt service by our server who kept my water filled, which is a big thing for me.
Rating this place higher despite the food because service and atmosphere were amazing. Serving portions are gigantic. The Cappelletti was salty and also undercooked. Highlights were the fresh, warm bread and the Pappardelle. I would come back again to give them another chance and try out different menu items.
Impeccable service by Darwin — wow, amazing. He was top notch. Unfortunately the food has taken a hit over the last few years; not what it used to be at all. Way overpriced and some had poor presentation. So $48 for red snapper and almost $20 for each glass of wine or cocktail? Seriously? The Pappardelle Campagnolo was a distant cousin compared to what it used to be, and the Scampi Damian is a joke for upwards of $32 for a few shrimp. Both were good but not as good as I know Carrabbas can do. Been coming here for 30 years and the quality has markedly diminished. Perhaps it was just a bad night so will give them another shot. Still great service. Still a beautiful restaurant with caring & wonderful staff. Just wish it didn’t seem like you’re getting ripped off — for the drinks, especially.
So I have seen this restaurant on many occasions when visiting Grace's and never thought to go here. So me and hubby decided to try it. OMG! Why did I wait so long? The service was amazing from valet not allowing me to even touch my door, to not waiting for more than 2 minutes to be seated, and then my waiter was there right there to take our order within 5 mins. My glass never got low, my drink was strong amd good, my mozzerlla appetizer was fire, the bread was soft, the pesto was flavorful, my steak had the perfect seasoning and crust, the Oscar style topping and sauce was amazing, the spinach fettuccine was delectable. My new favorite dining experience.
