| - We came here after a long day with very big appetites. The fiancé sat down at the bar immediately and I ran to the facilities. I say that to say this: I came back and the bartender proceeded to ignore us for the next 15 minutes. Actively! Like, looking alllll the way around us while serving other patrons. Apparently, he said hi to the fiancé while I was gone, but didn't do or say anything after that. Really? We don't even have a water glass in front of us at the very least and we're sitting at the bar. This doesn't look weird to you? Fine. Whatever.
Another woman comes out of the back to help and about 5 seconds after that, the bartender comes over to introduce himself to me and asks us if we want some water. Seriously? Whatever. Better late than never, I guess. She comes over right after him and automatically prepares water for us because she sees we don't have any. We place our orders and wait. They have these little food trays that go on the side of the bar to make it easier for you to get to your food. Two of them sat next to us dirty the entire time. But the bartender found new, clean ones and gave them to these customers he couldn't wait to help as soon as they came in. Nothing makes me more annoyed than being ignored and seeing new patrons get super service. What the hell, dude? Is it me? I just got here! What could I possibly have done to you?
Anyway, I chalked up the service to an off night because I usually have a relatively decent experience here and just made a note not to sit at the bar anymore. Then I got my food. The sirloin looked fine, tasted meh. The asparagus? It was burnt as hell. I seriously wondered how you could plate that and bring it to someone. When the lady from the back came out to check on us, I asked for some new vegetables. When she brought them back out, she said they were already making new ones for me before she got back there. Which makes no sense. If you knew they were that bad, why would you plate them? They were hoping I ate it without a fuss and somebody else's cook time just got pushed back. The whole thing was just deflating. Next time we feel like some Outback, we'll just go to LongHorn.
