I tried something new last night and I'm really excited to share it with everyone!
My Boyfriend and I had a giftcard to the Olive Garden Restaurant family... and we had already used most of it on Bahama Breeze- which was a really good, fun restaurant- and this time we decided to try Longhorn because I had never been there and we kinda wanted to try something new.
First off they bring you bread... which I always like in a restaurant. I feel like the bread was nothing really to write home about- but it was good and presented nicely on a little cutting board.
The appetizer however was great! We got the Cowboy Queso- which was basically a cheeseburger dip served with a really yummy garlic flatbread. We were kind of amazed at the fact that the dip really did taste just like a cheeseburger. I feel like I want that recipe! The flatbread was the best part. It was super soft and yet still kind of crispy and flavorful. The dip didn't really stay that warm... but the flatbread did- so that was really good on it's own.
The steaks were really great too! My boyfriend got the ribeye and he got it done Medium. He thought it was really juicy and pretty good. I got the flat iron steak because it was marinated- and I thought it might be a little more flavorful. It did have a really great flavor to it! it was small- but still filling and I just really liked it! I was pretty impressed as I am a little picky with my steak.
this was mine!
The sides we got were both kinda meh. The Mac and Cheese was okay... but it had parmesan cheese and that's not really something I like and my boyfriend could only taste the parmesan when I said I thought it had parmesan in it. So... it was a little overpowering. The fries were fine but nothing special.
We also got blackberry tea... it was fine- I was happy to see it on the menu- but it's not as great as if you ordered Chili's with extra blackberry syrup.
We didn't get any dessert- but the dessert did look delicious. We had some Ice Cream at home that was homemade from my cousin... the ice cream maker from OWOWCOW creamery so we opted for that... which I'm sure was better anyway... but I'd love to try dessert here sometime!
And the waiter... was weird. It was the end of the night- we were seated at a high top by the bar- so we didn't really have a wait and the food all came out pretty quickly and I don't think it was bad or anything... and we really didn't feel rushed out either.
Overall... it was a really nice date night! It was nice to try something new! We'd go back again!
Bye!
