Great experience. On a hot day, my water cup was never empty. The bread and olive oil dip were quickly delivered and so soft and tasty. I got the shrimp and scallop spiedino which is lightly breaded and a little saucy. The grilled vegetables side was worth the upcharge for some char adding a deeper flavor. We also got the John Cole for dessert for a light finish, as it's vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce and pecans. The tables are nicely spaced out, music fits the Italian vibe, and our service was impeccable. There is a large parking lot and room for large or small groups. There are a lot of restaurants in town, but this is still a satisfying option.

Ten of us attended the June Wine Dinner at the Williamsburg Carrabba's. We were among many others who came out for the wine dinner. The dining room with the wood booths and tables was comfortable and had a warm glow. The four courses were both flavorful and plentiful. The wine pairing was almost perfect, except the wine with dessert wasn't a good match in my opinion. These twice a month wine dinners are fun and very good. In addition to an enjoyable night out with friends, they pulled three tickets for prizes. The June meal started with a chilled shrimp salad, followed by spaghetti with carbonara sauce and grilled scallops, then a Parmesan crusted sirloin, and finally an absolutely delicious lemon cello bread pudding. Four wines accompanied the dinner, and the pours were sufficient for each course. The dinner cost $60 plus tax and tip. If you don't drink wine, or just want to skip wine that night, you will be charged less. In addition, you can order a take away meal for $10, and we usually order a chicken dish. There might an up charge for steak. They were fully staffed, running wine glasses, plates, and boxes for leftovers. All with a good attitude. The manager introduced the kitchen staff and their role in the dinner so we could applaud them. We were seated at 6:30 pm, and the dinner concluded just after 9 pm. Parking is easy in the large lot.

We joined our friends again for tonight's wine dinner, enjoying camaraderie while dining on fabulous multiple courses. The mushroom soup was the starter, followed by a refreshing salad of beets, shrimp and cheese. The next course was a substantial grilled chicken cooked to perfection served with pasta, then the best cut of beef, a filet mignon topped with lobster accompanied by a half potato and asparagus. That filet mignon was cooked medium rare, an amazing feat for all of the dishes as our group had the same experience. Finally the dessert was a cheesecake. I couldn't believe how much I ate, but I stopped when I had eaten 75% of that perfect filet mignon, opting to bring it home along with the dessert. I had requested no gorgonzola and no garlic with appropriate substitutions. The restaurant seemed to be short staffed tonight but our server did a stellar job.

The food was amazing! I had the trio which came with Alfredo pasta, chicken parm and a lasagna. All great portions and flavor. I had a few drinks as well. Tito's and cranberry which was a little lite on the pour and heavy on the ice, but was consistent my 7 glasses I had. They had hockey and basketball on, I was able to keep up with the playoffs. The waitress was a nice young lady, grew up locally told us about the town and some history. I have been to carrabas before... it was nice to see this one in tip top shape. Great work

Pre-Fix Menu

Joined a large group of friends and associates from our community to enjoy a wine pairing dinner, featuring wines paired with preselected offerings. We've enjoyed these in the past and tonight was better than most! As always, most of the enjoyment comes from sharing with friends around the table. However, the meal itself was quite delicious, and the wines paired nicely. You have the option of participating in the wines or not, and that will be reflected on your bill. Another nice feature that Carrabba's offers is the $10 takeaway: If you've had a regular meal, for an additional $10 you can select another meal off their menu to take home, which we will enjoy today! Although crowded, service was efficient and the courses were served smoothly. Food was on point and everything tasted freshly made, not as if it were sitting on a warmer.

Dry chicken. Tiny portions. Every dish tasted like chef Boyardi. Never again. The order was $120 and could have been $20 at fazollis.

A group of four of us were excited to finally go to the new location of Oceans & Ale, and I'm sorry…read moreto say that we were disappointed. The fresh catch meal included a simple house salad, and it took 30 minutes for the salad to arrive. Shortly after the salad arrived, our meals came out, and they were lukewarm. I had the grilled mahi mahi with lemon dill butter over some roasted fingerling potatoes and corn. While the fish itself was a nice piece and well prepared, its not-quite-warm temperature made it less appetizing to eat. The same was true for our other meals: the seafood pot pie and the mahi mahi fish tacos. While our waitress offered to have them all reheated, we both didn't have time as we had theatre tickets and reheating the tacos with their toppings, the pot pie with its pastry crust, and the seared fish didn't sound appealing. The restaurant's dining room was comfortable, and the bar area looked vibrant. Hopefully they are still breaking in their new facility, as we liked dining with them in their previous location.

I want to give them another chance with different menu items. I think there's potential this place…read moreis better than our experience. We went on a Sunday afternoon at 3 PM and were promptly seated. The atmosphere was fine, pretty open and unexceptional, but modern and new. Big screen in front of us playing the Sunday football game. Server was quick to get drink orders in, 12 oz. Commonwealth Modern 'Smores stout for $8 and my wife got a $16 Peppermint Espresso Martini. I appreciated the nice Commonwealth stout and the price was fine. The Peppermint Espresso martini was mediocre and very overpriced considering that. Our food took a long time. Like 3 apologies from the server long. There were 2 parties of like 10 that were in process when we sat so I get it. But I do feel like something should be given when it's 45 minutes plus on food. Anyway, on to the food.... My kid is not much of an eater and they did not have any type of kid menu. Ended up with a soft pretzel for $13. Add cheese fondue and it's $16. It was very big and delicious.... At $16 it's hard to be excited about it though. The cheese fondue definitely made the pretzel. I was not overly hungry and got She crab soup $8.50 for the cup and a Caesar salad $5. The soup was good, they add the crab on top so you can see they give you about half a cup and for the price it was good. Definitely not the best she crab soup in the area, but good enough. Caesar was just croutons, Parmesan and dressing and was fine. My wife got the "fresh catch" Chilean Sea Bass for $33. It was kind of fishy tasting. Fresh fish is rarely fishy. It was overcooked, horribly plated and the blackened seasoning had minimal flavor. It was bad. We asked for some tarter for it and it made it tolerable. The server offered to replace it, but having just waited 45 minutes for food we weren't going to chance something else, particularly since we were with another couple. While we were waiting I had 2 $3 special Budweisers and my wife had a $14 Snowflake Margarita. They were all fine. My kids sprite was $4 which feels outrageous, but I don't know what places are charging these days for sodas. I normally don't pay attention. Bill came with another apology for all the waiting and no discount. Tough to make it as a seafood restaurant when you are struggling with your seafood. I heard their seafood nachos are excellent.... Maybe I'll give them another chance for those. My first experience was not a good one.

Exceptional! Our server Jaedin was terrific. The only aspect to mar our visit was a snippy, snarky little-bit-of-a-thing hostess who never made eye contact and barked at us when we asked to be seated in a booth... said they were reserved, but we ordered, ate and finished and two booths remained open. This would be a five-star review if not for Ms. Demeanor...

We were there for a Monday lunch, can't speak to the dinner service. We also weren't drinking alcohol that day, though I thought the beer flights looked tempting. One of us had a cheeseburger that was requested to be "pink" and was overcooked and just blah. One of us had a chicken salad that was served with no chicken. Someone from the kitchen rushed out with a soup bowl filled with chicken slices that looked like those Perdue rotisserie chicken slices you buy at the grocery store. Dumped them on the salad. She did apologize. Our third order was a Restaurant Week special fried oyster salad vouched for by our server, Bailey, who was pleasant and efficient. It came with corn,black beans, mixed greens, cotija cheese and a spicy dressing. It wasn't awful but I think the overall concept was weird. Fried oyster taco salad? The few oyster pieces were tasty. Maybe we were there on a bad day, which happens. The chicken salad fiasco was funny. Not a place I would drive across town to try twice. Maybe stick to burgers and plenty of beer.

We had a wonderful experience eating here…read more We have lived in this area our whole lives and had never eaten here. We decided to give it a try and we we're definitely happy we did. The price was expensive for 2 people, $130 including tip but that included wine, appraiser and 2 full meals. The server was very friendly and professional. Our food was outstanding! Probably one of the best seafood restaurants we have ever been to. Definitely will return. Now we know where to go for our next special occasion.

It always sucks to have to write a tough review for a place that does seem to try so hard…read more Unfortunately, the food here really has much room for improvement. Let's start with the good. There's plenty of parking and the ambiance of this place is memorable, in a really dated (like borderline cheesy nautical decor) 80's kind of way. This place is also insanely dark, which seems to try and convey a romantic atmosphere, but it's just plain dark if you ask me. Now sadly, the food really is, for lack of a better word, pretty bad across the board. If there's anything on the menu you should stay the hell away from, it's definitely the French onion soup. The soup itself was so salty, it was absolutely inedible. It was promptly sent back and replaced with a clam chowder, which was on the other end of the spectrum - totally bland and absolutely devoid of any meaningful flavor. The entrees were no better. The stuffed flounder was expensive but tasted nowhere close to the price tag. The fish, like the chowder, was completely devoid of flavor and was not seasoned. The crab stuffing was mushy and not appetizing. Generally speaking, there was nothing appetizing about the meal, including the palate cleanser, which had no discernible taste as well (even though it was supposed to be some kind of lime sherbet of sorts). Again, this place tries hard to be upscale, but absolutely falls flat on the food. Even the rolls and opening weird coffee cake like kind of bread they serve were bland or tasted off. The service was also spotty and confusing all night. Our server was friendly and did do her best to keep up, but generally the food took a long time and it took 20 minutes to even get water. At least the host was friendly and the staff in general did seem to try their best despite being not up to par to the kind of upscale experience they try to emulate. At least the meal ended alright. The flambe dessert (I chose peach) was a nice little show, mostly because this old fashioned dated experience is literally nowhere to be seen in the NYC area these days, so it was nice to sort of relive a cheesy memory. The taste of the dessert was also a nice throwback to older times, though I'm not sure if this was meant to be an actual nostalgia trip here. In the end, given the presence of better dining options close by, I'd say you're better off going somewhere else.
