Good service (depends on the waiter but most are very helpful and friendly). Great food, if you get a menu you'll definitely have more then enough and the price is quiet reasonable for the amount of food you get. Cocktails aren't expensive either and quiet good. It is recommended to make a reservation if you wanna be able to sit outside outback because they do fill up quite quickly.
