    The batter on the fried oysters was light which was perfect. Generous portion sizes and good service.

    Would have given this review a 5 star had it not been for the bartender working the inside bar. We arrived 35 minutes before our scheduled time to check in and eat, hoping to have a couple drinks before dinner. After my first drink 25 minutes goes by before the empty glass was even noticed. The bartender spent a good 15 minutes talking to another employee with my empty glass sitting pushed to the front of the bar. Needless to say there were only 3 people at the bar. My wife, myself and one other gentleman

    What a great meal. Chose indoor dining because I was not aware of how wonderful the Outback was. Our food and overall dining experience was wonderful.
