...It is a Thursday night and I’m off from work and completed all my homework. My boyfriend and I are sitting on the couch watching T.V. I looked over to him and said, “Babe, I’m hungry,” and he replied,” Do you want to go to Carrabba’s?” And of course, I said,” Yes!” Carrabba’s is one of my favorite restaurants to dine in. It offers a variety of Italian entrees to choose from and the service is excellent. Carrabba’s is usually my first pick of dining because I love Italian food. During my visit at Carrabba’s, I evaluated my experience and as of no surprise, I was well- satisfied with the warm atmosphere, large portion food, and excellent service. One of the great things about Carrabba’s is the overall atmosphere. Once I started walking toward Carrabba’s, I noticed the stone walls, which gives it a little feeling as if I was in Italy. Also, I noticed that they were plants and trees on the roof of Carrabba’s. I thought it was unique because it is something I don’t see very often. As I walked in I can hear the Italian music playing, which added on to the Italy feeling. The restaurant was loud because of all the conversations being carried throughout the restaurant. But I was still able to hear the music playing and have a conversation with my boyfriend. It also made me comfortable because when I have dinner at home, my family is always loud. Overall, I thought the restaurant was maintained clean and had a great layout. Carrabba’s offers a variety of Italian entrees, in large...

In turn, this will allow GIFC to see how their products match up against the larger competitors like Olive Garden, Carrabbas, and Macaroni Grill.
