Tried to avoid chains last year but people invite us to them , and, well we can't be dicks all the time. The last experience I had at a Carrabba's in Scottsdale was pretty good so  let's try the one in Glendale,\n\nQuickly seated,  drinks, and appetizer  were great. The soup, Spicy sausage and lentil  was so good I looked up a copycat recipe for it . The goat cheese and pomodoro sauce brushcetta  had us feeling all happy and relaxed. \n\nthen \n\nmain meal arrived. Wife's meat was not medium, not even close you could get red out of it.\n\n Neither myself of the kid had cutlery so  it took a while to get a waiter to stop to remedy this. This interval turned my veal marsala into a gelatinous mess  when cold. It tasted of flour and barely of marsala which I can make about 23 times better at home. \n\nWife's dish was re heated it  well done with black hightlights .Not a new meal. Now it's heavy on the grill flavor.   Spoke to manager Heather , she came to us, but I can't ask for more ( actually I told them to leave it on the check )  than they drop it.   The kids meal  was great!  but they ruined the evening , seriously a dessert ain't going to count two messed up entrees  \n\n2.5 rounded down.
