What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 26 reviews more than any other: front-of-house. Where the staff comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

Of the 26 rated reviews, 26 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. What nobody raises here is serving size — it goes unmentioned across all 26 reviews. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 24 of 26.

The kitchen graded a B (87/100) on 1 high-priority and 5 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. That result dates from May 15, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 34% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Love the food and service. Our server Sean was extremely nice and even though we were a little disorderly he did a great job of keeping track of everything. The food was outstanding and was one of the only places I could get pasta al dente from a restaurant. Loved the atmosphere and it was overall a great place.

    Sean was an amazing server! The food was also amazing. We loved the food, the wine with charcuterie board was so cool, and the appetizers were delicious. Highly recommend!!!

    I’ve been to many Carrabba’s locations throughout Miami and Broward County, but the ICON location is by far the best. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was warm, polite, and friendly, making us feel welcome right away. Our waiter, Xinh, was outstanding. He never let our drinks get low, checked on us regularly, and made sure we were completely satisfied throughout our meal. The excellent service and attention to detail made this our best Carrabba’s experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!
