"What an excellent culinary experience we had in this restaurant. Waiting for a table in the dining room was 30 minutes, but we were offered ring seats at the counter facing the open kitchen. If you are ever offered this option, go for it. You get to watch the kitchen prepare the food, the cooks talk to you the service is amazingly fast. Not only was it entertaining, the food was wonderful. When the kitchen was less busy, the chef/owner actually came by to talk to our family, even sent us a free dessert! We always liked to eat Carrabba's menu/food every few months in one of their restaurants. However, this special restaurant was probably one of the most friendly clean of its restaurant chain most pleasant Carrabba's restaurant experiences we ever had. I strongly recommend stopping for a meal the next time you visit Peabody!"
