Anyone ever been to the Outback??

[Uncleromulus]

Not the "chain", but the one at Wyndham Palace??
Just wondering about the menu, service, beer list, etc.

We ate there years ago ('96 I think) and we really enjoyed it. Service was excellent and the food was very good. That said, I am not in a hurry to go back because Disney has so many excellent restaurants I have yet to try.

Thanks!! For us, it's just the opposite--Outback is one of the very few we've never tried.

You might post on the other Orlando Hotels and Attractions Board.

Uncleromulus, we had dinner there a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. The atmosphere was quite nice. It is fairly dimly lit, and has an"atrium like" feel to it with all the plants. We had a nice booth that offered privacy so even though there were several conventioneers dining there, it wasn't loud at all. As for the beer selection, I am embarassed to admit we drink domestic so I can't help with the extent of their selections. As far as food goes, we had crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer which were delicious. There was a variety of fish, lobster, shrimp, pasta dishes, and beef selections. If I remember correctly dh had the lobster and I either had a steak or prime rib (I think the latter ) I remember it being very good and I am a bit picky about my beef. Is the Outback up to the same standards has some of your top 3 or 4 restaurants on property but I know you like to try different places so IF it is similar to what it was a couple years ago I think you'll be satisfied. Maybe someone else will have a more current review but I thought some info was better than none.

Gosh, if Uncleromulus hasn't been there... who else would?

Thanks for the help so far!!
Actually, the Outback probably should be considered as much a "Disney" restaurant as Shulas or Palio or the Blue Zoo. Just like the Swan/Dolphin, those hotels are on WDW property--yet we almost never hear about any restaurants in the plaza hotel area. Maybe they are too much out of the way, and in the wrong direction--.
Anyway--I probably wouldn't ordinarily consider the Outback except we're going down with several other people in Oct and I was looking for an alternative restaurant with basic steak/seafood offerings.
And good beer, of course

For whatever reason S/D discussions are in the Disney resort forum and discussions about the DTD hotels are in the other Orlando board.

You might also post in that forum.
