Normally I would give a 5 star rating because we really enjoy Olive Garden. This recent visit was a disaster. Our server was rude, made us order our own appetizers on the kiosk, didn’t refill drinks, and one of our meals didn’t even come out until the rest of us had already finished our meals. We had to flag down our server several times to ask where the missing meal was, even flagged down other servers to go check on it. We had also ordered the never ending dipping sauce and didn’t get that until after our food came out. By then the breadsticks were cold. Service here is usually top notch so I don’t know what happened the evening we were there. It was also a weekday and not busy at all.

It really is TRUE that when you're here you're family! Recently, a family member suggested a particular restaurant, where myself, my sister, my grandson and my grand daughter in-law, and my great grand daughter and great grandson could all catch up with each other. But, when I, instead, recommended Olive Garden, it was enthusiastically agreed to, right away.
The healthy comfort food, and the caring and anticipatory homey service, again confirmed to us that this is a good place for families.
My great grand kids' Mom had gone to get something out of the car, and their Dad had taken his 2-year old son to be changed. So, only their 5-year old daughter remained with us at our table. When our Server asked what drinks we wanted, our 5-year old pointed to two different flavor drinks on the kids menu, one by one, and ordered both of them. Our Server wisely said, with a smile, Maybe I'll wait til your Mom and Dad get back. After her Mom and Dad returned, they told us that she was actually not ordering two drinks for herself, but that she usually orders one drink for herself and one for her little brother. If our Server had not asked our 5-year old for her drink order, or meanly refused to bring her what she wanted, she might have been upset, which may have led to a potential scene. But our Server was polite, respectful, smart and friendly. In other words - no problem.
When we were finishing our meal, we were thinking about asking for doggie bags, to not waste the remaining tasty generous portions. But, we didn't need to ask, since our Server, because of apparent good training and valuable experience, asked us first, if we would like some boxes and bags. Of course, we accepted them, and when we left, we left with some tasty reminders, for later, of the good food we'd enjoyed. But, we also remembered the good time we shared with our own family, and the Olive Garden family as well.
No problems. Good times. Happy memories. Grazie and Ciao! Thanks and see you next time!

I have been regular customer for Olive Garden all you can eat soup and salad & breadsticks for 10+ years. I can assure you that it's a very cost effective lunch and worth every penny!

I hope I am reviewing the exact restaurant as Olive Garden has multiple outlets and could well be within the same zip code. It's a pretty boyband spacious restaurant with a bar, nice wheelchair accessibility and a decent menu. The vegetarian choices are mostly salads, soup, sandwiches. Much better options for meat lovers. All the entrees come with unlimited servings of soup or salad - you pick which one. Beer, wine cocktails, they have it all. The lady who looked after us was friendly and patient - am guessing that must pretty much be the case with the other staff too. The portion can be a lot for just one person - for it was. The food was okay to be honest and for a family of 7 it set us back by almost $250 including tips and that to me is expensive. Or it's the price you pay for living in the wealthy Bay Area I suppose. (I don't live there by the way). Food I would say 3 stars at most, ambience and service 5 stars.
