Review of Outback Steakhouse

Did my usual online research about the official gluten free ideas about gluten free then girded my loins to actually eat at this specific restaurant. I was delighted to get a paper copy of the "official" gluten free menu after asking for it but was a little worried because I had three different servers take my order and one of them brought out a platter of brown bread and butter. The manager on the floor did come to my table and reassure me that my allergy (yeah, not an allergy but experience taught me not to explain my condition is a disease) was being dealt with seriously. He made me feel safe food wise. However, the separate gluten free menu (as usual) didn't have prices on it and I ended up arguing about the bill. I ordered Alice Springs Chicken (YUM) with two sides. One of the sides was Tasmanian Chili and had a 3 dollar upcharge. Manager Dude removed the upcharge from my bill. Yay. But it kinda spoiled my experience.
