    Great neighborhood spot where everybody knows your name. By everybody I mean the wonderful service staff. Nancy, Ian, Dylan, Chris and Kyle are so hard working and very personable. While I come here often and enjoy the food I would have to say it’s the staff that keeps me coming back. As of recently, I have had the pleasure to meet the young man at the host stand, Aiden. He is always so nice and attentive and great with the customers and you can tell he cares about his job. This staff gives Service With A Smile a whole new meaning.

    I had Kim as my server and she was absolutely amazing! She brought refills of the drinks before I even finished my other drink. She was on top of everything, and gave great recommendations. The best server I’ve had in years!!!

    Ambiance was cool, waitress was cool, service was good. Even most of the food was good, we had salads, wines, cocktails. Then why the one star? my Delmonico ribeye was rotten. Like not over cooked or undercooked...not grissly. Rotten! I started slowly eating a few bites of it and was really not enjoying how it tasted basically like an ashtray (I have 3 Weber grills and am a charcoal aficionado), but this grill must not've been cleaned in days...I couldn't even taste the meat ..and there was this weird aroma in the air. Finally my wife says to me, something smells like poop around here. I said, "yeah I smell it too, but thought it was the kids over there." We leaned in closer and it was my steak! So my wife says, "you shouldn't eat more of that." So I asked the waitress to take it back and cook it a different way ( a new piece of meat). Well she wrote "sear it", but meant to use the flat top ...well the kitchen just "seared" the new piece of meat on the same grill and sent it out to me colder than rare. So the new piece of meat was blue in the middle and still had the burnt taste. At least this one didn't smell like poop, but still disappointing in the flavor department as far as being able to actually taste the meat. I showed the server that the meat was blue and so they put it on the flat top to bring it to medium. I tried my wife's regular ribeye and it was much better despite being cooked to well done when she asked for medium like I did. I have a stomach ache now though, so don't think I'll dine at outback for a very long time. To me rotten food cancels out anything else you can do right in the food service industry. This stuff should never leave the kitchen and you rely on everybody to spot it, but especially the cooks!!
