“We have dined in restaurants throughout the USA and Europe and in our opinion this is one which should be avoided. When we entered the restaurant we chatted with the manager, George, who was extremely friendly. Being a native of Aberdeen, Scotland he said he would be interested in my opinion on their `Angus Steaks'. Firstly, our waitress Sharon dealt with a situation out of her control extremely well and I have no criticism regarding her service. I asked for a mojito cocktail - not available - I ordered hot crab dip but without the garlic croutons. I was told they were not like normal croutons - i.e. not fried bread - but when they arrived they were slices of stale toast. It was noted that I didn't eat the croutons and we then received hot bread rolls. Entree course was Prime Rib at $22+ which was probably the worst I have ever tasted. Firstly, it was cold as was the wild rice which accompanied it. Secondly, it tasted processed and not like a steak should be at all - tasteless. The `au jus' was also cold. We paid the check but noticed that the waitress had told the manager, George, that we were not happy. Surprisingly, he did not approach us regarding the problems we had experienced. On leaving the restaurant I spoke to him and asked why he hadn't approached us. He said he wasn't aware it was necessary and initially denied the problem had been brought to his attention. He then admitted he didn't think it was necessary - we had paid the bill ($87.02). His attitude was appalling (we have your money so don't care whether you enjoyed the food or not) I am just disappointed we didn't go to Outback as my husband would have preferred. Be Warned!”
