On April 21st, Outback Steakhouse opens its latest restaurant location in South Naples, Florida. Located at 9975 Triangle Blvd., the new restaurant will serve lunch daily and will be the first in the Naples area to feature a new ‘Modern Australia’ design both inside and out. "We're thrilled to be the newest neighbor in South Naples and to set roots in this community," said Mike Esposito, Outback’s Local Proprietor. The new design features a decor that mirrors the indigenous flora and fauna, adventure, geography and leisure of modern day Australia. The unit also incorporates a spacious bar area that includes a community table as well as customized seating and furnishings. It is connected directly to the outdoor dining patio. The restaurant also offers a curbside takeaway service. Owned by Tampa, Florida-based Bloomin’ Brands Inc., there are more than 975 of the Australian themed steakhouse restaurants in the United States. Though the steak and beef items make up a large portion of the menu, a variety of chicken, ribs, seafood and pasta dishes are included on the menu. Currently there are about 90 Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Florida.
