From Carrabba’s: "...., some things have remained constant: Our commitment to fantastic food, the warm, inviting, comfortable, family-oriented feeling of our restaurants, mature servers who understand the value of impressing and appreciating our guests, and a staff that has fun and knows our customers by name.
We don’t operate our restaurants based on lessons learned in some fancy cooking school or business book. We operate them based on heart and soul, and a belief that our job at the end of the day is to give our guests an experience they’ll love – and remember. And that’s what we do. Every day.

"A legacy of the philanthropists John and Dominique de Menil, the Menil Collection opened in 1987. The museum presents regular rotations of artworks from its growing permanent collection, organizes special exhibitions and programs throughout the year, publishes scholarly books, and conducts research. The Menil Collection’s main museum building anchors a parklike 30-acre campus, which also includes the Cy Twombly Gallery, a site-specific Dan Flavin installation, the Byzantine Fresco Chapel—now a venue for long-term installations by contemporary artists—and outdoor sculpture."
