    Prime rib
    Kat H.

    I normally come alone after class at 4pm, 2 weeks ago I went in and the service was fine. A bit unfriendly and point, but otherwise fine. I came in on Superbowl Sunday around 4 expecting it to be super busy, to my surprise it was somewhat empty. I sat at the bar and ordered a prime rib rare, which when I received it was thoroughly cooked through. I grew up as a vegetarian, so sending meat back is hard for me because I hate to waste it, my bartender was nice enough to reassure me to have it taken back, and when I did and received a new one, it was even worse. Jose, my bartender, was very kind and attentive about the situation and did everything in his power to get them returned and new plates to me out despite not being a runner. Not only that, he personally checked on me and each of the steaks and at some point seemed just upset about them as I was, haha. At the end, I ended up taking a Ribeye and the steak was cooked to my liking. When I went to pay, Jose had told me my bill was 0$ because of the multiple inconveniences that occurred. If Jose hadn't helped me that night I would definitely not be back and this review would be surely different as well. I did not mind paying for a different steak, but his attentiveness and kindness to reassure me it was ok to take it back when I told him I'd eat it regardless really stood out. My only negative about the whole experience was how long it took to wait for 3 steaks. Definitely would recommend sitting at the bar for friendlier service, maybe you'll get lucky and have Jose!

    Grilled shrimp on the Barbie, with mashed potatoes
    Larry P.

    Stefan was our waiter this time, we've had him before. He takes good care of his customers. Karen ordered shrimp on the Barbie, grilled, and I ordered a prime rib, rare, with sautéed mushrooms. I also ordered the blue cheese glazing that they have for the meats. We never get my steak cooked perfectly, I should've gotten a fairly bloody prime rib, but there was none of that. It was more medium, rare toward medium. Which didn't taste bad, but it wasn't what I ordered. Karen shrimp was basically burnt on one side. So she sent it back and then they brought her some fairly raw shrimp. So they ended up comping her meal, but it wasn't something you could really eat she didn't really eat anything but a little salad and some bread. Obviously ruined the dinner.. There's something wrong with the chef back there. My prime rib tasted fine, but more rare, but I wasn't about to send it back and wait to get something that probably wouldn't be cooked properly the second time. It's too bad. This place has a nice atmosphere. and I always enjoy sitting there eating my meal, but we've had to send our meats back several times, and we've only been here four or five times. I mean, maybe they should make the chefs look at the meat samples they show in the pictures in the menus or send them back to cooking school wherever that was. Anyway, our meal was pretty much kind of ruined and I still gave a decent tip to the waiter because he did take good care of us and did the best he could. He didn't cook the meal so it wasn't really his fault. Three stars this time, and charging me $7.50 for a corona extra when they're probably buying the beer for a dollar or less, seems like a little bit of an overcharge to me, but hey, what do I know?

    This was the 9oz steak we ordered. My 4oz steak measured 3.9oz.
    Mandy B.

    Ordered from DoorDash and after waiting an hour we got our food but definitely didn't get what we ordered. We ordered the 9oz steak and it was smaller than my 4oz steak. My steamed veggies came as a side salad instead. Paid a lot through DoorDash to still be hungry.

    Dad's 92nd birthday
    Lori H.

    We visited Outback tonight for my dad's 92nd birthday, which is as challenging as you can envision. Our server, Blake, was THE BEST. He was kind and patient with my parents, was attentive and lovely, and made our entire experience fantastic. The food at Outback is usually dependable, and it was really good tonight, but having Blake as our waiter was the cherry on top. Never underestimate the quality of service. Thank you for an unforgettable night.

The meats that they carve or offer at the table were all delicious. I was very pleased that each one offered their own characteristics with textures and flavors. I do have to admit that there were favorites among the parade of grilled meats. The picanha steak cut or sirloin cap was not only well seasoned, tender, and juicy, but also grilled to a nice medium or a beautiful pink. The grilled tri-tip was great too, and the Parmesan cheese crusted chicken thighs were very tasty and tender. Other stand outs were the bacon wrapped beef and chicken, the Berkshire pork (pernil) served with a lime wedge, and the linguica or traditional Brazilian sausage. Honestly, all the meats were quite tasty. The offerings at the salad bar were quite impressive, too. If you do just the salad bar when you visit, I think you will be very satisfied. The fresh mozzarella salad was wonderful and came with fresh pearl mozzarella balls. I was very impressed with the cucumber tomatoes salad, and the Rodizio BLT Salad. The salad bar also offered many other items like ceviche, a variety of salads, breads, cold cuts and cheese, and fruits. If you are not a huge meat eater, the salad bar is just right for you. Hospitality was great from the minute we walked in. "Jon" not only provided hospitality with a great sense of humor, but also efficient service. In fact, all the gents who provided the proteins at the table were in good spirits and friendly. I like that this Brazilian Steak House offers plenty of free parking, unlike others downtown, San Diego, and it is priced at a more reasonable price.

We have found ourselves very irritable at lunchtime in our office because we have been ordering the same old lunches for years...one of us for 24 years! We sent one of the owners of the company I work for out on a mission to find new lunch spots. This is how we found Dolci! We ordered 6 different items to share so that we could try several items. Grande Lasagna Bolognese, Americana Pizza, Italian Fest Panini, Fettuccine Cartoccio, Dolci Chicken Mac & Cheese and Penne Michealangelo. Every single item was so delicious. The flavors were rich and the portions were generous! It gave the feeling of FINALLY being satisfied with lunch which we have not had in a very long time! We all agreed we needed a nap after lunch because we stuffed ourselves in the most gluttonous manner! The only problem is that we were so stuffed no one wanted to get back to work! We are very pleased with the quality of ingredients, the order being ready on time and even after driving 15-20 minutes back to the office the food was still hot! Thank you Dolci! We look forward to ordering again with you in the very near future!

The Mexican scramble came with chopped serrano peppers, onions, and tomatoes, not to mention a side of beans and rice for $13.49 plus tax. The scramble also comes topped with a couple of slices of Mexican Panels Cheese. I did like that! The eggs were well scrambled with all the ingredients and well seasoned. They definitely did not hold back on any of the ingredients, especially the fresh hot peppers. As a results, the scrambled a good heat, just the way my father would of liked it. I liked it, too. Both the rice and beans were very good. The beans were fantastic and the rice was well prepared and cooked to the right texture, but they could of used a little more seasoning. I used the locally made corn tortillas to make breakfast tacos with the scramble and the tasty hot sauce they offered. Every body was super friendly at this hybrid meat market and eatery. Did I mention they have a meat counter here, too? It's a cool little hidden gem in El Cajon.

The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the charred lemon added a nice touch. We each picked an entree of the 2 offered - Ginger Glazed Wild Salmon and Grilled ribeye. The salmon was on top of couscous with baby grilled zucchini. The salmon had crispy skin and was fork tender just flaked right off and was very flavorful. The rib eye was grilled medium and covered in a peppercorn demi gravy that was so luxurious. I was half tempted to lick the plate. The pesto baby golden potatoes were like individual servings of mashed potatoes which paired nicely with the rib eye and charred asparagus.

The vibe is effortlessly cool--think red leather booths, vintage neon, and a mood that feels like Frank Sinatra might walk in at any moment. The highlight of the experience is the unique "Grill-Your-Own" steak concept. There is something incredibly social and fun about seasoning your own hand-cut steak and hanging out around the communal grill with friends or neighbors. If you're not in the mood to grill, their kitchen menu is equally impressive; the Turquoise Tots, Brisket Corn Dogs, and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp are legendary. Don't skip the Turquoise Room for drinks.

We began with the deviled eggs--a classic reimagined with such precision they served as the perfect structural opening to the meal. The true showstopper, however, was the Filet Mignon. Topped with a vibrant, hand-cut chimichurri, the steak didn't just meet the knife; it surrendered. The sauce provided a brilliant counterpoint: fresh, crisp, and possessing a light, tingly spice that dances on the palate rather than overwhelming it. Even the greens were a celebration; the "weed salad" arrived as a kaleidoscopic "rainbow of happiness," proving that even the most virtuous courses can be indulgent. Pair this with a cocktail program defined by their house-made syrups, and you have a destination that understands the assignment: total sensory restoration. Salud.
