After a long, stormy Friday evening, my family and I decided to celebrate a graduation with dinner…read moreat Carrabba's on Washington Road in Augusta. We arrived around 9 PM, and despite the weather, there were still a few larger parties dining, though the restaurant was far from crowded.
Right from the start, the hospitality stood out. The hostess graciously welcomed us and offered complimentary wine samples while we waited. My husband sampled a white wine while I tried a red. Neither was particularly memorable, but the gesture was appreciated and set a welcoming tone for the evening.
Of course, we couldn't resist ordering our favorite cocktail, the Prickly Pear Margarita. As always, it was absolutely delicious. If you've never tried one, do yourself a favor and order it. It's one of the best specialty margaritas around.
Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant throughout the meal. For dinner, I kept it light with an entrée Caesar salad, my husband ordered the Chicken Marsala, and our son chose the Shrimp and Scallop Linguine Alla Vodka. Every dish was prepared well, flavorful, and exactly what we've come to expect from Carrabba's over the years.
While the food was very good, the service was truly exceptional. I've always received solid service at Carrabba's, but this visit was on another level. Every interaction felt genuine, attentive, and customer focused without ever being intrusive.
With so many dining options along Washington Road, choosing where to eat can be a challenge. If you're looking for consistently good food, excellent cocktails, and service that goes above and beyond, this Carrabba's should be at the top of your list.
