“What a wonderful contrast with our horrible experience at the Outback. The steak was cooked to perfection, and melted away in the mouth as you chewed it.” After a disastrous steak meal at one KL restaurant, Kay and Dave take the “falling off a horse” approach at the San Francisco Steakhouse – and find it’s second time lucky.
