Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Always great food and atmosphere, but WENDY was the star! At the end of her shift, she put 110% energy and attention into our needs. She surprised me (since it was my birthday) by putting Happy Birthday on the desert plate. She was courteous, friendly and a very pleasant person to speak with.

Giving a 5 Star for everything because my girlfriend and I love this Olive Garden, and enjoy our regular waitress that takes care of us VERY WELL.

However, during our recent visit on July 12th. We were seated in Gideon’s section (Not our regular waiter). Gideon was the most rude, unenthusiastic, and forgetful server I’ve ever encountered at any restaurant.

He insulted mine and my girlfriend’s age after asking how old we were, which I thought was an invasive and odd question. Asked what I studied in college and said it’s “For geeks”. And he just kept on asking VERY invasive questions after I told him that my girlfriend and I are just trying to have a silent dinner and not do a Q&A. We never got refills from him (A different waitress had to get our refills), he forgot about our to go boxes TWICE. And kept on adressing me as “Bro”. I do not recall being his brother.

As a server myself, I was just astonished at the HORRIBLE attitude from him. Extremely disappointed.

We received great service from our waitress good drinks and wonderful food. We came through just for a weekend vacation car show at the Tennessee river.

Service was excellent. Food tasted good but some of it was cold. It seems to be frozen food they heat up. The Stuffed Chicken Marsala flavors were excellent but it was barely warm and the masked potatoes were cold.

Kid-friendliness: Very good with children

Chicken fettuccine is always good, but most of the time there's a little kid screaming about something. Other than that it was great.

It has been some time since the wife and I ate at an Olive Garden restaurant and we were not let down. Our server, Savannah, was on spot for everything and always tentative to our table. The food not only looked like the picture on the menu - it was delicious!

Food is good, I do enjoy bringing my family here for a nice dinner but the host needs to do a better job communicating with their servers, host did not assign a server to my table for 20 minutes so I had to go ask for one at the main stand. Miller and Windy were great by the way, they apologized for the wait even though it was not their fault and worked quickly to get our orders in !

As an Italian, I can say that it has little to do with my country's cuisine..... Kalamari was barely adequate, pasta with shrimp and scallops, they were overcooked tagliatelle with cream, milk and shrimp and scallops seemed to have been boiled in water..... The espresso coffees, aside from being cold, they probably make 20 espresso coffees with a single ciala, practically dirty water, not even American coffees...... In short, if this is an Italian restaurant.... Forget it..... And another thing, apart from the fact that in Italy you dress the salad yourself as you like and they don't drown it in vinegar like the one they brought me..... It was so cold that it was inedible, in short, a hamburger is better, at least you don't throw 55 dollars in the bathroom...

We waited way too long for salad that we could have been eating while waiting for main course. When the server came she she brought the the food. We asked for dressing on the side and it was not brought because the waitress said there was not room on the tray and said she'd be right back with it. That was not true. There was room on the tray because she and another server brought 2 trays together for 2 tables with salad and breadsticks. The dressing was in a small cylinder type pitcher and no way there was not room on one of the trays. She continued to pass our table with no dressing to wait on a new table that just got there. They got drinks & salad before we got salad dressing. Terrible server. She asked a couple of times if we needed anything and had to tell her what we needed. She was not engaged. she is the type that just wants to wait on you, give food and be done. the only time she recognized what we needed was when I obviously put my empty water glass on the edge of the table. Ding, ding, ding..... it was not hard to figure that out but I guess everything else was. Other servers here have been on top of it and brought you refills or offered you refills, at lest, without asking. We got a to-go dinner and salad to go. She did not bring a bag to pack it all nor offer to-go dressings nor brought us the little after dinner mints. Servers need to be consistent. we won't be back for a while or go the another Olive Garden. we do not live in Decatur, so no problem to go elsewhere.
