The cheese stick were good, crunchy and hot with a huge bowl of sauce for dipping. The bread was delicious. Get it. Jess had gnocchi in rose sauce and I had chicken parm. Both were great!

Halim was an outstanding guide... knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. He shared history and insights in a way that never felt scripted, and his personality made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. It truly felt like we were exploring with a friend. Each stop offered something unique and delicious, from alligator tail at Pub Americana to a fresh and flavorful chicken salad with croissant at Ossorio Bakery & Café, perfectly smoked brisket and sausage at Crydermans BBQ, and finishing with amazing drunken noodles at Thai Thai Village. This tour is such a great way to experience the local food scene and learn a bit of history along the way. It was such a fun way to spend time together and show them a unique side of the area. Highly recommend!

It is the first mural in the City of Cape Canaveral's Civic Scenery Program. It is a nice piece that has some awesome artwork. It depicts an astronaut head in an helmet with Earth in the background and a capsule heading towards the moon in the foreground. It you look closely; you can see that the mural actually consists of over 1,900 different triangles. You will find this piece on the side of the Cape Canaveral Leisure Services Department Building, near the City Hall Complex and Veterans Park. There is parking available on the street in front of the mural and there is a lot across the street from the mural that you can park in and get a closer look as well. I really like the piece. It has some very nice artwork, and is very detailed. Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

We greeted pleasantly and she let me pass with a smile. No name tag yet, but I was able to determine later she was a new manager. The hostess greeted me nicely, and seated me where my wife would see me when she came in. Lauren D was our server, very professional, yet personable and fun, we had a relatively tall young man provide our bread, herbs, oil and water as well as deliver our meals. He was attentive and did a great job. Dinner, Chicken Bryan and 7oz Sirloin. The Bryan, as always, excellent, as were the Caesar salads we had. My steak, with marsala mushroom sauce, probably the most tender sirloin, incidentally perfectly cooked medium rare, I've had in ages! Nice portion of fresh, steamed broccoli and a huge side dish of Penne Pomodoro accompanied the steak. Brought home another meal from our leftovers, as well a purchasing a $10.00 take home of the same 7oz sirloin w/ marsala mushroom sauce, it was that good! A fine dining experience! As in May, the timing was super for a great meal, quiet atmosphere and almost undivided attention of Lauren, she was awesome. Highly recommend an early supper at the Merritt Island Carrabbas!

I was disappointed in the two entrees we tried. I had the filet and shrimp Toscana. The steak was cooked perfectly. The pasta tasted really strongly of aged cheese. I know it's personal preference, but I couldn't eat it, it was just that strong. My husband had the opposite problem. He had the shrimp and scallop linguine, and it was almost tasteless. Bland doesn't begin to describe it. Maybe we just picked the wrong items. We'll still keep Carrabba's on our list, but we'll order something else.

The salad was delicious but didn't have very much tomatoes or olives given the size of our group. The breadsticks were very warm and tasty. I had ordered the chicken parmigiana. With Marinara sauce. The chicken was very crispy and juicy. My companions had a variety of dishes. Soup and Salad, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Marsala, and one of the new spicy dishes of pasta with sausage chicken and vegetables. Very Spicy. Some like it HOT. Our server was very efficient and attentive . We were offered the opportunity to have a take home entree for a special price. It was my friend's birthday and the restaurant treated her to a full size serving of Cheesecake . Very special. A lovely evening with friends.

Before ordering, I mentioned I had a $25 gift card which was greeted positively. However, when it came time to pay the bill, I was told that I couldn't use the entire amount to pay, only half. It's a good thing I had the cash or I would have been in trouble. This does not seem right... or even legal. I will not be back.

Despite being a small group, 3 of us registered and ended up crashing a birthday celebration! The group that was there was cool about being with other people & were super welcoming! Our driver gave us all the rundown of how Limo Cycle works which involved all of us pedaling to power the vehicle, she would serve us drinks as needed (always safely pulling over), and jamming out to great music! It was a fantastic time and other than it being hot we had such a blast! We got to stop at 3 different bars which allows us to support local businesses and try new places, which we loved! You can also bring your own alcohol that is stored in a cooler but they have to be canned and unopened. The max capacity I believe is 15 people and there are 4 seats on board that don't have pedals so if you have limitations or just don't want to pedal, there are places for you to sit! I would love to come back and try this when it's not as hot, as this could be a great event with a large group or if you want to meet new people you can roll the dice with a smaller group like I did!

Had a great time and our driver was wonderful and so much fun!! Highly recommended this for a group…read moreouting!

I understand that things get more expensive and price increases are to be expected. When I originally started going in 2018/19, the eggplant was $13+ tax. However, appears to have gone up by 33% over the past eight months which seems excessive to me. It certainly isn't in line with peer restaurant increases. And the thing is, I don't feel the quality has been maintained. They changed vendors on their Italian dressing several years ago (the Greek is a fair substitute) but sometimes if I let the dish sit for too long to cool, the cheese gets hard and "plastic-like." I've literally almost choked on it at times and have started to question whether I want to continue purchasing it because I've had serious misgivings about what's truly in that cheese...... In eight months, the price increased: * About $17.95 (Sept. 2025) * About $20.82 (Feb. 2026) * About $23.82 (May 2026)
