During my last visit to the United States, I dine at one of the Outback Steakhouse restaurant not too far from where my hotel is with a colleague of mine. Overall, I found that the restaurant is nicely decorated with Australia theme although the lighting is a bit poor as I find that the restaurant is a little bit too dark.

It is very normal in the United States for the people to wait to be seated everytime we go to a restaurant and in Outback Steakhouse, we were given a device which is supposedly to vibrate if it is our turn but maybe because both of us went too far, and the device is out of coverage, the device did not really vibrate. Luckily the waitress there is good enough to still sit us when we ask about it, else I'm not sure how long we will need to wait again. So, I think the door person service is good; at least they remember that we did ask for a table for two.

Anyway, we were seated not long after that. I ordered the Wings Aussietizers as appetizer and I must say that I'm impressed with the wings. The chicken wings were in a savory blend of spices. Although I ordered the hot flavor, the wings were not extremely spicy. I must say, I'm actually impress with the taste. (It's just too bad that I accidentally deleted the photo from my iPhone)
For the main course, I ordered the specialty cuts and combos so that I can have the best of both world - the specialty cuts from Outbacks as well as the seafood. I have the half-done sirloin and the grilled lobster tail. Well, due to the lighting, I was not able to see whether there is still blood coming out but the sirloin meat is very tender and juicy, so I'm pretty sure that the sirloin is half-done. The grilled lobster tail was well marinated and grilled into perfection and the lobster tail meat will just melt in my mouth, an indication of how fresh the lobster is.
Overall, the food that I had in the Outback Steakhouse is extremely nice and it was nice having dinner experience in this Australian themed restaurant. I don't really like the low-light environment, but I like the food. Given a chance, of course I will want to dine in the same restaurant again with other choice of combos.
