    Special thanks to Roberto for excellent service. Very kind, patient & understanding. We need more waiters like him. I love this particular Outback @ Plaza Bontita.

    Yesenia - Waitress : You know that kind of server who asks all the right questions for your orders.. and somehow reminds you to order those specific things/ways you would like something particularly… Yeah , Yesenia is on it, did great with 2 toddlers and making sure drinks were prepared as such, food came out very fast, delivered her own food. She did an amazing job as our server and haven’t had service that hospitable in a while. Not a huge fan of outback food.

    Miles was attentive, friendly and confident in making recommendations on the menu. He suggest pairing my New York Strip with a glass of Josh Cabernet, delicious. Great service on a Friday night

    Our server Emily was amazing! She is always so attentive, friendly, and makes sure everything is perfect every time we come in. Her positive attitude and great service truly make the experience better. We always look forward to being helped by her!

    Worst experience ever. I come alot.. we were at the table for like 15 mins before we got our bread, salad came out wrong. server was nice just took a min to get everything and kinda forgot about us once he was busy… even the server next to us noticed that everything was taking forver so he stepped in to help us, only had 1 table in our section, feel like she shoulda got sat that big party… steak was cooked to temperature but the meat quality was seriously bad. we got new york strips and they were worse than the sirlon. super tough. if u are going to charge 30$ for ONE steak it better be good? ridiculous. I can buy 2 quality steaks for 25-30$… Super disappointed and upset that I spend 90$.
