Probably the best Outback experience I've ever had. I signed up for the "call ahead" seating, online. There was about a 15-20 min wait with that considered but we arrived around 8pm and there were still several families outside waiting for tables. I'll take a 15-20 min wait on a weekend, that's honestly, nothing.
Once we were seating our server, Ben, greeted us in a very timely manner. He was attentive, polite, and amiable. A great server experience and he earned a great tip. The best part about his hospitality is that this didn't seem like a job. Ben genuinely looked interested and showed real passion for his service. That's hard to find these days.
The food was on point. I had a Caesar Salad, grilled chicken with a baked sweet potato and of course, the amazing bread. My boyfriend enjoyed a 6oz filet with a sweet potato and cheese broccoli. We were both incredibly pleased. He ordered the filet rare expecting it to be cooked a bit longer and it was definitely a lovely medium rare to rare. No blood but it was seconds past that point. He also made a note about the cheese broccoli. I'm not big on most cheeses but he was very happy with his selection. My chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. The BBQ sauce had a bit of a spicy aftertaste to it but I tend to be sensitive to even the slightest spice. Normal palates would probably hardly notice.
Ben brought our check and mentioned a survey and free bloomin' onion coupon for completing the survey in house. Not a bad deal, really. I filled out the survey and the manager came over to thank us for choosing to dine with them and shared the coupon for completing the survey. A nice personal touch.
