Oh, my, that would've destroyed my appetite, too. Thankfully, I have not had anything like that happen to me.

Re: Amanda

It wasn’t Outback’s fault at all. I posted here a great example of poor and unclear writing. 🤣 sorry about that. 

The ants were already on my table and placemat when we got home but I didn’t see them until after we started to eat. I’d left a glass of water on the table and that’s what attracted them. They were seeing water.

Re: sam444

I guess this is an example of unclear writing. The ants were  in my placemat on the table prior to us bringing in the food. It was because I had left a glass of water there I think. Thank you. I should have included that in the post vut was rather rushed. Oops on me. 😄

Oh, no! I'm so sorry they ruined such a yummy dinner, but I would have felt the same way. Yuck!
