lol, kind of embarrassing....but our favorite restaurant is Outback steakhouse! They ALWAYS make the most perfect steak, and I'm a real steak (smith n wollensky/sparks) person. Their servicce is always impeccable and they without fail make sure that the kids meals are served asap...they have never failed to make it the most pleasant, happy experience. The food is great, the service is even better and you cant even begin to compare the prices between their restaurant and Sparks...yet, even given the choice I'd go there first.
Cheesecake Factory is our Fav and we end up going there almost on each anniv
