On December 31, my husband and I decided to go to Carrabbas Italian Grill, for New Years Eve Dinner. We had been given a certificate from a local radio station, (B101 Radio WBEB), from the Philly area, and wanted to celebrate. This was our very first time there, and since we both love italian food, as well as hearing all the commercials, we wanted to visit the restaurant for the first time.
When we arrived, we had to wait 15 minutes for a seat, which was not the issue. However, when we ordered Grilled Salmon for my husband, and Chicken Marsala for myself, that was where the problem began. My husband was unable to consume all of his food, stating at that time, that he was full and could eat no more. When we got home around 6 PM EST, he stated that he was not feeling well, and wanted to stretch out on the bed.
About 4 to 6 hours later, my husband all of a sudden rushed to the bathroom, where he became violently ill. He began to vomit very severely, had severe stomach cramps, and more. I immediately called our doctor, who advised me of the necessary medical treatments, and if the vomiting continued, to go to the hospital. As a result, he spent the next three days very ill, and unable to eat regular food.
Four days later, he is still having stomach problems, though not as severe. He went to the doctors, where they gave him medication. I did contact the restaurant in question, and while the manager on duty, (Jimmy, I believe his name was.), "apologized" for the occurence, he insisted that they make sure the food us prepared properly, going so far as to state that they make sure the seafood is frozen properly. He offered me another free dinner, but I refused.
I saved the remaining food in our freezer, and have contacted my attorney, because I firmly believe the fish was not prepared properly. Is there anything else I can do??
