Q: So I've been to the Outback (all over, not just this one) and I have to say that the typical experience we've had at Outback (which is usually in the 4-star range) is not what we've experienced here. We've been to this Outback probably 4 times in the past 2 years. Unfortunately, our experiences have been consistently sub-par, and it appears that we are not alone in noticing this (often no wait on friday or Saturday night). For whatever reason, at this particular Outback te service is consistently slow and poor, even when the resturant is only half full. Incorrect orders probably 20% of the time, forgetting to come back and check on how food was, forgetting to hit refills on drinks, forgetting that an appetizer was ordered... it just goes on and on. Very frustrating. On the plus side, I'd say that the food is usually on par with what you'd expect form Outback. Steaks were usually good and cooked correctly, sides were acceptable, however seafood add-ons' were kind of meh. I was on the fence between 2 and 3 stars, but after considering where the bar is around here, there are just too many other good options for a steakhouse to say this was a middle of the road performance, esepcially with mutiple experiences contributing to this review. Disappinting considerng that Outback has always been one of our family's and my parents' favorites, but this location just has not cut it for us. Hopefully they'll make the changes required to return to the quality we'd expect from the Outback. OPTIONS:

Q: I had dinner here on October 25, 2014, with a friend. It was very, very busy and I guess that's why the service was terrible - beyond terrible! Right after we finished ordering, a group of 5 people and a couple were seated. I ordered the half chicken plate and my friend the "daurade" fish. The table of 5 and the couple behind us got their orders almost immediately but we waited and waited and we didn't mind all that much because it looked and smelled so good. So when our orders came, finally, I was disapointed with my cold, dry chicken - I'm guessing they put my dish together first while they prepared the fish. Very disapointing. My friend's "daurade" was a whole fried, white fish full of small fish bones, he left half of it on the plate. It's difficult to understand why this place was recommended to me by a friend and why it has such positive reviews. Seriously! Next time I have a hankering for some Portuguese chicken, I'll go to Piri-Piri, Romados, Coco-Rico or anywhere else for that matter. This place was a complete bust. What a nasty experience. EN FRANCAIS Nous avons mange a ce restaurant, mon ami et moi, le 25 octobre, 2014. C'etait bonde de monde et peut etre cela explique le service pourri. On s'entend qu'on est loin d'un cinq etoiles mais quand meme. une tablee de 5 personnes et un couple se sont installes peu apres que nous ayons place notre commande. J'ai commande l'assiette demi poulet et l'ami la "daurade". La tablee de 5 et le couple derriere nous on recu leurs assiettes tres rapidement et ce avant nous. L'attente a ete longue mais nous sommes restes patients car l'odeur de la nourriture etait bonne et les plats qu'on voyait passer avaient l'air appetissants. Alors quelle deception quand apres cette longue attente, je recois du poulet froid et sec! Je presume qu'ils ont du preparer mon assiette bien avant de preparer l'assiette de poisson de mon ami. La "daurade" c'est un poisson blanc, frit en entier avec une abondance d'aretes a l'interieur - plus de la moitie est restee dans son assiette. Ca me choque que ce restaurant m'a ete refere et qu'il soit bien cote sur les sites restos. La prochaine fois que j'ai un gout pour du poulet Portugais je me deplacerai volontier chez Piri-Piri, Romados ou Coco-Rico, n'importe ou sauf la! Une belle experience ecoeurante! OPTIONS:

Q: This review is based on the infamous Ladies Night on Thursdays. I was invited by a friend who had a friend as a promoter like the last two girls did. However, we did not receive special attention really. The night consists of the appetizer which was this pretty good bread with a ricotta spread. My second favorite thing of the courses. Next was the salad, which was just spinach leaves and vinegar dressing. Not something I would eat because it was a little too boring for me. Than came the entree of green beans, mash potatoes (the had some other fancy name), and then a dish of steak and fish. Salmon I think. I do not eat fish, but my friends said it was not cooked or something. They love fish and couldn't even eat it. The steak was really and my favorite of the whole night was the mash potatoes. Those were good. Finally was the dessert which was creme brulee, which was awful. They burnt the brown sugar on stop of it. It was hard and nasty. The rest of it just was not good at all to me. I like the atmosphere of the place, but the sound is terrible. I could not hear my friends, who were sitting right next to me. The band was good, but it was way too loud. I am yelling at people just to have a conversation. I hate that in a place. I get if its a club or some place that is suppose to be loud, but when it not it is just unnecessary. The staff was good. They refilled our drinks when needed, gave me a new napkin cloth after ever course, and made sure we were doing good. Overall, I just was not impressed. Maybe if I go on a different night than ladies night, but I think it would be too expensive for my taste anyway. OPTIONS:
