The service I received today at Outback was exceptional. The staff was very polite and attentive. When he asked me how I want my steak done, I went with medium well, he was very professional and explained to me (with pictures) that sirloin steak tends to be more stringy and suggested me to go with medium instead. When we finished ordering, he said the food will be ready shortly and will serve us drinks first. You rarely find this kind of service in Hong Kong and it really made a difference!Firs
First came the drinks, oh did I mention? Their drinks are bottomless! And the staff help you with refills without having to ask.
Onto the food. Each lunch set come with soup of the day, salad, bread and a drink. Soup of the day: cream of mushroom. (5/5 stars). It was served hot and has plenty of chopped mushroom in the creamy soup, very flavourful. Salad was your standard romane lettuce + tomato + shredded carrots with a side of ceasar dressing (4/5 stars). The bread was served warm, slightly sweet and had a soft texture (5/5 stars).
I got the 6oz. Sirloin steak $109 (3/5 stars), and was glad that the staff suggested medium. The black pepper sauce on the side added an extra kick. Also served with some veggies and rice. The rice was not your average plain rice. It was a bit garlicky, savory and seasoned with chopped onions and herbs.
My husband had the Spicy Seafood Fried Rice $96 (5/5 stars). It tasted awesome! The fried rice was nicely done, not mushy and not oily. The small pieces of chili added spiciness to the dish but not overwhelming. There were also mushrooms, chives and generous amount of shrimps. I also noticed some crispy stuff on top of the rice, I m not sure what they were but they went well with the rice.
We were very satisfied with their service and food quality. Will definitely return.
