Girls Night Out

After spending the greater part of Saturday shopping in the Franklin's antique district, and in and out of area Re-Stores, we decided to finish out the evening with a dinner to remember.
Carrabba's  was my surprise to Best Bud. She had never been. In case you have not either, I will let ya in on this treasure of a restaurant. If you are on a diet or watching your calories, you can still eat here, just limit your portions, and well, don't eat for the rest of the day!
The back story here is that Sweetie and I went to Carrabba's for an anniversary dinner last year. Our anniversary happened to land on prom night. Oh man! We didn't have as long of a wait, and enjoyed ourselves so much so, we take great delight in bringing other folks with us to experience the environment and enjoy the food as well.
Okay, Best Bud. She was tired, a little more than I, as she was just back from a road trip of her own - so she had no idea what I was up too.  SMIRK!  See, Best Bud most of the time manages to pull off surprises for me, this time I got her! Yay!
First off, as long as you are not a big party you have a chance of lucking out and getting to sit where you can watch the meals prepared. There is a side where you can watch them make pizza's and place them in and out of a big brick oven.On the other side, you get to watch them with the different pasta dishes. Generally there are a couple of the cooks on the other side of the counter that will show you the various dishes as they are being prepared, this makes for great entertainment. On this occasion, Best Bud was treated to quite the show.  Spaghetti was being flipped as other various pastas were being drained and placed on dishes with colorful sauces with a meat specialty tucked to the side.
The managers have been a blessing to us each time I have been to the restaurant. Each time, we have been spoken too, and shown other items on the menu, as well as treated to some real conversation. It's nice to really be taken care of at a restaurant.





Kudos to Carrabba's in GreenHills!
