[CLOSED] Outback Steakhouse (Orchard Gateway)

Service was soooo slow I think they were severely understaffed or sth n food was rly meh tbh :’) Actually grilled salmon was nubbad but if we didn’t have burpple beyond 1-1 rly not worth af hahaha. Blooming onion was good but super super oily and took 28362929 yrs to come so when it finally arrived we were q full alr LOL. Prob won’t be back

Made a reservation a month ahead to celebrate an special occasion. Reached and saw that there was less than 5 tables dinning, It was during peak hour on a weekend.

Ordered the New York Strip in medium-rare and it came almost an medium-well. The piece of meat was over salted and one side of the steak was nicely seared and the other side almost looked like it was steamed with little browning. The bf ordered the combination No Rule Paste with chicken & shrimp, the chicken was dry and tough while the shrimp was your typical crunchy frozen shrimp. The only good thing about the meal was the corn on the cob.

With the amount I spent there, I could have went some where else and gotten cheaper and better steak, twice. Staff was friendly though.

Got this steak medium rare. The steak was firm and juicy, but not impressive and the seasonal vegetables were a little too dry. Was worth it only with 1 for 1 with burpple beyond!

The Typhoon Bloom (S$15.90) was described as “hand-cut, fresh onion strings” in the menu, but it turned out that I was presented with a mountain of onion rings.

I was okay with the flavours of their special seasoning to the food, but fretted upon the portion of onion rings. Strangely, the portion could be easily conquered by two persons if they came in strings, but just seemed overwhelming when served chunky. Not cool, because I was still confused over my degree of liking (or disliking) towards it.

Since it is a steakhouse, you would think their steaks wont disappoint. IT WAS A DISASTER.
STEAK:
I ordered their best seller, a new york strip medium rare. The fat was not rendered, so it still tasted raw, steak was not seasoned. The meat texture was tough and rubbery overall.
SIDES/ SAUCE:
The price of the coleslaw is $3.90. The given portion is even smaller than your regular sized KFC coleslaw. Yes i kid you not. It was sour too. The accompanying sauce for the steak was salty and it honestly tasted like concentrated chicken stock. Overall it was a bad experience. I took the recent bad reviews here with a pinch of salt and i regret it terribly.

Steak is juicy and goes well with the sauce. Not worth for normal price, going with 1 for 1 deal is fine.
