LINGUINE PESCATADO                                     "THE WORDS"

Allen and I usually go to the movies on Friday and get a bite to eat. I discovered Cafe Vico on my birthday in February though it has been in the neighborhood for a
long time. It has become one of my favorite restaurants and the place
to take visitors--if they pay! LOL     
 

 
The Outback restaurant is one of the more reliable chains and we
usually go when they are having a special as they are now. They offer a 4
course dinner for $15.
First of all we had one of the best waiters
in a long time--no need to ask for refills on our drinks as they were
always filled. He paced the meal perfectly, he checked either by
observing or asking how we were doing. Be sure to ask for Carlos if he
is available to wait on you.
We started off with a very good hot
potato soup with cheese and bacon followed by a mixed salad with
tomatoes and onions. The main course was a 6 ounce sirloin served with
mashed garlic potatoes and string beans. It was sort of redundant to
have the potatoes and potato soup but both were good. The sirloin wasn't
anything to rave about, being cooked medium instead of medium rare, but
it was okay. The carrot cake was dusted with too much cinnamon but
otherwise was tasty.
Not to overdo but I give it 4 stars because
Carlos is worth a star of his own. There is nothing like an excellent
server to make a meal better!
