| - I went last night (Mon, Feb 8, 2016) with 2 friends. They had a large party in the dining room which was quite noisy, so we sat in the saloon area which was far quieter. The hostess showed me the way to the saloon prior to my guests arriving to ensure I would like that area.
We were served by Henry, the bartender and he was perfectly attentive to our needs.
My guests got a porterhouse and the liver. He enjoyed the porterhouse quite a bit. She did not finish the liver.
I got the "famous" prime rib. Barely any flavor (although the au jus was decent albeit a little saltier than I prefer), and not tender like I would expect for a $30 "prime rib". It looks like they actually used a lower grade standing rib roast and called it a "prime" to justify the higher cost. I didn't have to saw through it with the steak knife, but found it to be much tougher than better quality meals... I hate to say it, but I've had much better quality products from Outback. I see many people rave about their food, but this was a massive fail for my side. I brought 1/2 of it home, and am not sure if I will eat the rest or feed it to the neighbor's dog.
I will say, $32.00 for a double shot of a medium quality blended scotch (that's the cost of a full bottle) was pretty ridiculous. If it was a higher end single malt it would have been a different story.
On a positive note, their complimentary muffins were enjoyable, and their small relish dish with bottled Ranch dressing a nice appetizer. Did I mention that Henry gave us really nice service?
