| - I normally avoid reviewing places that already have a bunch of reviews that pretty much say everything there is to say about that place (usually it's restaurants), but my family hosted a birthday dinner for me here last night, and I have to write about my experience.
The first thing I noticed was how busy the place is. So when they started messing up some of the orders at the table, it was understandable because the waiter and waitress were really trying hard to keep up with everything. I was the last one to order and they actually forgot about me for a while. Whatever, s'all good. When I placed my order, and they asked me what kind of dressing do I want for my salad, I replied "Italian" and that was exactly what I was in the mood for. First shocker of the night: she looks at me and says "We don't carry Italian dressing." I just looked at her for a minute, looked around at my family with a face like "is this lady serious?" So I asked what they DO have, she said honey mustard dressing. GAG! I ordered balsamic vinagrette, which they also didn't have, but she assured me they had a balsamic-like dressing. I thank the stars it was brought on the side because a) my girlfriend's salad was SOAKED in dressing and b) the balsamic-like dressing was honey mustard dressing! I couldn't believe it. As far as the steaks went, mine was great, but my girlfriend had to send hers back three times. We both ordered the filet mignon, and hers was really, really fatty, not worth the $23 it costs. They brought another one, then had to recook it because it was slightly too raw, but then it was perfect.
They brought me ice cream and sang me the birthday song and all that, then when it came time to leave, the final shocker: they cancelled our bill! Family members took the money they were going to use to pay for the food to give it to me for a bonus birthday present.. WoW Outback, good on you! We were all glowing when we left. They handled things well, all things considered.
I gave this place 4 stars not 5 because well, I'm a fan of this place, I don't love it to death though. Didn't seem right to bump it to 5 stars just because when you rate a restaurant, you have to take into consideration every factor that goes into running a restaurant, and I haven't been here in such a long time. When I come back again, if the service, atmosphere, and food continue to be superb, I will change my rating to 5 stars. For now, I wanted to bring attention to what they did last night that totally made my birthday!
