Good food at a great price

My husband and I went to Carrabba?s for my birthday dinner last night. We had pre-picked the restaurant, but did not call ahead. Once we got there we were told that it would be a 35-45min wait (on a Saturday night). We waited in a very packed and uncomfortable waiting area for just about 45 min, this turned out to be the only not pleasant part of our experience.

Once we were seated our waiter told us about the menu and took or order. He then placed very light and tasty bread and an olive oil and herb mixture (that was great!) on the table for us to eat. Our dinner came VERY quickly, which was amazing based on how busy the restaurant was. I had chicken/cheese/spinach ravioli with a tomato cream sauce. It was wonderful. My husband had lasagna, which he enjoyed very much. Both of the portions were big enough to take home leftovers. Overall we had a very nice experience at a good price.

• Pros: Food, service, selection
• Cons: Wait

We call Polaris and surrounds "Mindyland" because it reminds us of someone we knew that the area fits well.

You won't see us there again, food was decent but you have to draw the line somewhere. In redemption, our experience was better at same in Florida. Go Gators.

One of my favorites!

I've been here numerous times and when someone is craving Italian food, this is the first place I think of. I'd really recommend the Calamari (Ask for both sauces on the side) and the Mussels as appetizers (Forget the name of it, sorry). The dishes are all great and portions are just right. I personally get the Pork Chop Marsala, which is a "Daily Special". I really can't say you can go wrong though, I've had/tasted a lot of their dishes and never thought any less of it. It's nice enough as a special occasion and casual enough as just a night out.

• Pros: Great Food, Good Value
