Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I went here a couple days ago and was very disappointed to find out they stopped making all dishes which had scallops and asparagus in them for a weird reason. our waitress was nice but she was kind of bad mouthing the restaurant and their policies which was very unprofessional in my opinion … overall the food was nothing special seemed all pre made and heated up, probably would not be coming back again

I hadn’t been to Olive Garden in a while and I forgot how good it was! I shared a taste of Italy entrée (with eggplant parmesan subbed for the chichen parmesan, lasagna and fettuccine alfredo) with my husband and it was great. Plus came with a house salad that exceeded my expectations and bread sticks which my son loved. I had a Caffè moca which was also nice. The service was great even though we were there til closing time.

We went into Olive Garden today, we sat at the bar. We sat there for 15minutes and NO one came up to us, to take our order. There was more than 6 different servers walking around looking straight at us, and walked by. Finally another waitress from the OTHER SIDE of the restaurant, noticed we hadn’t been taken care of. He asked the girl waitress if she was going to help us. «She said, I guess. I’m already busy». So Rene C came and took our order. I was irritated and he made us feel at home. He was waiting tables from the other room and still gave us GREAT SERVICE! If it wasn’t for him, we would of walked out.
He needs to be awarded for his great service! If I go back to that restaurant I will not eat there unless, he’s serving us…

The food has no real flavor to anything. The wait staff kept messing up, we would say no more salad or bread sticks, they bring more. We had two serves for it was a large birthday group. They took forever to bring the food because they waited for all to come out at once which made them cold and when we received it they forgot the person’s whose Birthday it was food. I doubt I will go back.

Good service, great food, good value. We like the seasonal menu items but mostly get the same thing based on time if year we visit. Tour of Italy, Lasagna, chicken parmesan, chicken alfredo, the soup, salad, breadsticks. Usually cheesecake, berry, lemon or some cappucino drink. We love the drink selection made non-​alcoholic for the kids, too or the flavored teas really brewed with fresh fruit. An annual birthday family favorite for a few of us. Parking is always an issue at this location, they usually seat us timely though a crowd.

We have eaten there for years and almost always get great service, as we do at all OG’s. Food comes out hot and they always attend to the tea refills. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is that they without fail try seat us in the bar area. Now don’t get me wrong we do like an occasional drink, its just that the bar area is always hotter than the other eating areas. Overall a very postive experience once we get seated where we should be

We’ve eaten here off and on for years but this was the first time back in some time. It wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t that great either. First of all, this was a family and friends birthday gathering, so a group of around 20 or so. It took forever for us to be seated. Granted it was kind of busy for a Sunday evening, but you just got the impression the staff on duty didn’t know how to handle a group very well. Once we were seated, the servers were OK but a little slow and inattentive. For instance, bread sticks were over abundant at one end and very sparse at the other. The same goes for the endless soup and salad my wife ordered; it took too long to replenish her salad bowl (even though she reminded) after everyone else had their dinner salads. I was also disappointed by the prices. At one time you could get quite a few dishes for around $ 10 – 12. Now there’s nothing below $ 13 and most are $ 15 – 18. And for those prices, the meals — including the Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara and the various options on the Tour of Italy — weren’t that remarkable. All in all a pleasant but so-​so experience.

The food was decent and the service was fine until we received our check from our server. She wrote my husband and I a note on the back of an Olive Garden card asking us if we could give her extra money as her car was going to get repo’d that day. I am normally a generous tipper but after receiving that I was insulted that the server was basically begging me for more money. I don’t see myself going back to this location.

Put a to go order in today. I always worry about to go orders at places because the food taste cold and not fresh sometimes. Not here! Everything was still hot and ready right when they said it would be! Food was great!

Bethany was our waitress for dinner she was amazing… so nice and helpful in picking entrees!!! Food was superb … awesome experience overall we will be back!!!

Good food and good service even with them being short handed. Our waiter was Chris he needs a raise, he is excellent.

We walked in at 9pm (an hour before closing). We stood there about 5 min before anyone acknowledged us, even though plenty people passed by. At one point a lady behind the bar asked two servers who were standing there talking to her if we had been helped. They didn’t even turn around to look at us, and they just continued talking. We were about to just leave and then a hostess came out of the restroom and asked us how many. Then she said «let me wash my hands» and went back to the restroom. Ok. I can’t be upset about that, by all means PLEASE wash your hands, but shouldn’t you have done that when you were already in there? We were then seated. Our server Bradford was AWESOME! Very attentive. Our drinks were never empty, he offered excellent suggestions, never had to sit at the table looking around waiting on him to come back. The food was really good. I usually expect when I show up at a restaurant pretty close to closing to get some kind of just ok left over from a dinner rush earlier. Whether they were or not, they didn’t taste like it. It was a very pleasing experience after considering walking out.

When I got to the restaurant I was ignored. Standing there while the incompetent hostesses where speaking to each other in Spanish. I finally got greeted and could barley understand what they were saying because of their accents. I asked what she had said and she rudely answered and pointed for me to go sit down to wait. I got seated with my server Jennifer who was extremely sweet and pleasant. Fresh bread delicious soup and salad. I got the fettuccine alfredo which wasn’t as good as I remember. It looked as if it was cooked in a rush. Overall a good experience except for the rude hostesses I encountered upon my arrival. Will be trying it again and hopefully management has learned that they do not make the restaurant look as good as it could.

The food is great. I eat in and order pickup from here all the time. I give it 4 star, because I did have one kind of crappy experience. The first time I ordered pickup from here I payed for the food online, and when I came in the manager was a TOTAL JERK. He acted like I was trying to steal my food. He made me tell him my last name and everything in my order. Wtf? I was very offended. I didn’t eat here for weeks after the incident, and I almost stopped coming altogether. Over all great place, just avoid the manager.

The service and food was good… Love the bread sticks and salad!!!

WHOOP-​WHOOP! I don’t have to cook on a weekday because I got to order on-​line and carry out from the Olive Garden! This was my first time to order online and place a carry out order with Olive Garden. I was SUPER impressed with their menu! It is SO super easy and customer friendly. They have everything simplified, priced and easy to understand. They even ask if you need utensils and napkins. Every entrée comes with two bread sticks and your choice of soup or salad. They have an assortment of soups for you to choose from. They even have a list of all the items they put on your salad, and if you do not want an item you can just check it off, and they will not put it on your salad! That is a gold star in my book! Me and my boyfriend got two HUGE salads, and an appetizer, two entrees, and two desserts for less then $ 45.00. I even have leftovers for tomorrows lunch! (which I am looking forward to.) Their food is just as delicious as eating inside their restaurant! What a great treat to be able to be able to eat such delicious restaurant food from the comfort of your own home! I am a happy lady on this Tuesday weeknight because I found me a great place to order take out out from now on, on my «I am not cooking» nights!

This restaurant is AWESOME. I love there salad. Our server was really nice … The place is really clean and nice. I recommended 100%

I ordered the buy-​one-​take-​one, fettuccine Alfredo, and added chicken. There was barely enough sauce to coat the noodles, and not much flavor because of that. I don’t know if they were being tight with the sauce because it was a special, or if this location is always like that, but the Lincoln Square location, in Arlington, puts a good amount of sauce on, so I know it’s not the chain.
I asked for extra bread. The person on the phone repeated it back to me, and said tat there would be two extra pieces of bread. There was not.
They chocolates they put in the bag… nice touch, except guess what happens when you put chocolates in the bottom of a bag, next to some hot food. Just GUESS. Yeah. There was chocolate everywhere, by the time I got it home. I was ordering take-​out because I didn’t feel good, and I wanted to make things easy for myself. I ended up cleaning up a mess, including a spot on my shirt that probably won’t come out, because I didn’t expect there to be chocolate all over the bottom of things when I unpacked it. I’m a little bitter, as you can see.
Off to eat my bland pasta leftovers. :/

Okay experience. Took a while to place my order in an almost restaurant.
Had the buy one take one for 12.99. Great deal for people on a budget. The food was good, but not spectacular. I had the smoked mozzarella chicken and it was a lot better than expected.
If you haven’t tried it yet, the mango smoothie is a must! Idk what it is, but I have to get one every time I come here. I have also stopped here just to pick up that drink!

Always a great experience. Great staff, great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Just a great restaurant all around.
Can’t think of a negative except for everyone loves this place so sometimes the wait is long. I’ll be going back soon
