Carrabba's Italian Grill

I don't typically review chains as I like to promote locally owned establishments, however this was a treat. Normally with a chain you can anticipate a meal that was actually prepared somewhere else and the local store just heats it up and throws it in a plate (I'm talking about you Olive Garden). This was different. It is still a menu that is established by the corporate office, but the food was fresh and didn't have the generic taste you find at most sit down chains. Additionally the service was excellent and the prices were reasonable for what you are getting. This was my first time at Carrabba's, but certainly will not be my last.
