Outback Steakhouse at 5305 Clark Avenue, Lakewood, California.

If you get seated within the bar area and the bartender has to serve you, it feels more disconnected. Although he was really nice and helpful, it lacked the friendliness. Very good food, and yes the people are nice

Busy place when I arrived, 17:45 Sunday.
Meeting with a friend for dinner. Put my name in and gave my number for the text that the table would be ready. Our name was called within 8 minutes or less. Seated, and order taken very quickly. Took forever for the soup and salad to come, and our dinner came right on top of the soup and salad. Finished the meal, and the young lady presented the check, let us know it was no hurry we could visit as long as we wanted to. But our glasses were never refilled and no extra bread was served, nor offered. The steak was wonderful, and the food was good. All together it was an okay night.
