The chicken sandwich is my go to. But don’t sleep on the steak bites and the ramen. 🍜

You can’t go wrong with Carrabas!
Whenever shrimp scampi is on my mind Carrabas is the answer. The pasta is so good, but don’t sleep on their mashed potatoes! 🥔

I love Toca Madeira! The veggie fajitas are fire 🔥
Speaking of fire, if you get lucky you might get to see a fire show while you’re there! The food is top tier and so is the service. Make sure you dress to impress😉
