"A Decent Chain Restaurant. The restaurant layout is such that is cozy, relaxing, and affords some privacy. My wife craved a lemonade. The selection was country style wild berry lemonade with no ice. I went with a glass of their New South Wales sangria. It held it's own. A small loaf of bread given by Outback Steakhouse is fresh and tasty. The menu emphasizes meat. You can find some piscatorial plates on the menu that are quite good. We went straight to the entrées after ordering our libations. It is Friday again, meaning a fish day. My spouse picked tilapia with pure lump crab meat which is accompanied by mixed vegetables. This dish was very good although the tilapia was a shade done beyond our liking. Tilapia needs to have a litter shimmer while the flesh is opaque, indicating both moisture and having been cooked throughout the fillet. I selected the sesame salad with ahi tuna. The seared ahi was sliced into nearly paper thin slices. The darker than blood red pieces just melted away upon contact with the tongue. The salad appeared pedestrian, even with sliced almonds atop. The sesame vinaigrette was dynamic, invigorating the entire salad. This recently added menu dish is a winner. I was leery of choosing such a dish in a meat-centric chain restaurant. The gamble paid dividends. Dessert was an ice cream concoction that our waitress had suggested. It was Baskin-Robbins sweet and a fitting meal's end."
