After visiting the Apple Store, we went to Longhorn Steakhouse to grab a bit to eat. We were shown to our table and after a short amount of time our waitress arrived. Just as she was leaving with our appetizer and drinks order, an older couple came up behind me. The gentleman leaned over and said the waitress was a lovely girl. It turned out the older couple were her grandparents. As he was leaving, Grandpa said to make sure we ordered the strawberry shortcake for dessert. We wouldn't be disappointed.
When the waitress returned with our drinks. She laughed and said her grandparents had just returned from wintering in Florida. They were excited to come to the restaurant where she worked and wanted the strawberry shortcake.
She was a fun waitress, a little perky, but attentive. We had a nice dinner and then decided to take Grandpa's advice and ordered the strawberry shortcake.
I was too busy enjoying dinner and talking to Himself that I didn't take any pictures. The only picture of a beverage is the remains of the Half-Lemonade, Half Iced Tea (It wasn't called an Arnold Palmer on the menu)
The shortcake arrived and was a beautiful presentation and a lot bigger and different than we expected. It wasn't technically shortcake. There was no shortcake or biscuit. It was a 3-layer yellow cake with whipped cream, strawberry coulis, and strawberries.
When the waitress came to ask how everything was. I told her I was surprised as I was expecting a shortcake biscuit, and her Grandpa was right. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. I also told her she needed to split her tips with Grandpa. She laughed.
