I dined at the hilliard rome road Outback this evening 9/5, the temp outside is over 90 degrees, inside in the entire bar area is was as if you were sitting outside in the heat. I spoke to the server, Saundra, she stated it's been that way for TWO WEEKS! She said that nothing could be done and that she was suffering too. I asked to speak to a manager, since the conditions were ridiculous for a chain such as Outback. We were all perspiring, including the workers. I inquired why no one warns the patrons that the A/C isn't working correctly. The manager informed me that the dining area was cooler. Why didn't our server or the hostess inform us that it would be excessively warm in the bar side? I find it APPAULING that the service was so under par for a large chain such as OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE. I am very disappointed.
