Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

This was our first time dining in Olive Garden (recommended by one of our friends) and we really liked it a lot. All the dishes were tasty, full of flavors. Their bread were so warm and fresh - very good in taste. We would definitely visit again soon and make this restaurant chain in our regular visiting list 🙂

Arrived after reading the web site. No reservation taken! And was told it would be 1 hr 45 minute wait for a party of 10, because they just started taking reservations. We left!

Usually the waiters and waitresses at Olive Garden are professional when trying to accommodate seating. However, our waitress, Angela displayed very inappropriate behavior towards our waiter after changing our seating. Our new waiter came to our table confused. Come to find out Angela never put in our order. I understand accomodating our seating may have been such an inconvenience for her. However, Angela needs some lessons on how to be professional and respectful to not only customers, but her co-workers.

Good food, great service. That's it.

The restaurante was nice and the food is delicious, however if you're not American and not used to the amount of food served, you might get overwhelmed. As I am used to real italian food, i had to find out, that this is not similar to italian food at all. However, I would definitely recommend a visit.

Servers here served us 3 dirty plates upon arrival with food and crumbs on them when we handed them back and asked for new ones we got attitude and eye rolls from our waiter twice because we found a 3rd dirty plate a few seconds later after checking the rest.The first time I let the attitude go the second time he took the plate with a dirty look and rolled his eyes neither time apologizing or speaking to us.I then calmly asked someone else to speak to a manager because I didn’t want someone who was so rude to wait on our table a second employee came mumbling rude stuff under his breath as he approached our table. My daughter asked what he was saying he said “Well he brought you new plates didn’t he?” Then stormed off all mad that we had asked for the manager and threw his hands up all dramatic and mad as if we should accept the rude behavior and new plates and shut up.I realized the manager was another employee who had been watching the rude waiters storm off from our table and did not come to our table to ask if we needed anything.When she came over we explained the situation she explained she told him to walk away from us because she was concerned not for us but for her employee feeling uncomfortable and “unsafe” which was very dramatic no one was yelling or cursing or being confrontational we shocked we were being shamed for asking for clean plates when I explained how rude the waiter was when we asked for new plates she said she didn’t know what happened,as we were explaining to her what happened, as if to say she didn’t believe what we were saying.Meanwhile the first waiter was telling his story waving his arms and telling all the other employees in the employee area by the kitchen.Then our new waiter came as we were speaking to her and waved his arms aggressively over our table as if to stop an imaginary fight and raised his voice and cut me off while i was very calmly speaking to the manager separately about our complaint and yelled angrily “ok are we going to order or are we going to keep talking about this!?” Since when do employees cut off customers conversations with the manager? The manager did not correct him either or apologize for any of their behavior she let all the employees be rude throw temper tantrums at our table and was quiet and let the third waiter interrupt our conversation with her as if she was not in charge.So apparently you should eat on dirty plates or be treated badly if you ask for new ones also dont expect any manager to be any help she let the young male employees there throw fits and be confrontational with our table and your also not allowed to make a complaint because the employees will cut you off while speaking to the “ manager” This was all very unprofessional they all seemed ready to attack us.Our party of 8 came for a birthday dinner it was very much ruined.We got up from the table and left right after we realized talking calmy to all four employees was not working we realized all 4 employees were saying rude things having attitude teaming up and not being apologetic we all couldn’t believe how we were being treated and how they all got so angry at our table for sending back dirty plates and would not apologize.Our family had to get up and walk out being the bigger people here as they sarcastically told us to have a nice day.We went and had our dinner at Strings the food was great the service was great we had no issues no rude waiters and no dirty plates.We loved Olive Garden before and went their regularly we give good tips were a respectful family and have never had a confrontation with any servers before this was absolutely shocking.Will definitely be calling corporate.

Sat at the bar and received little to no attention. There was only 3 other people at the bar and the tender was not interested in talking with staff than us. Very sad.

We came to this Olive Garden straight from the Sequoia Park after visiting the General Sherman Tree. I don’t know if it was the hunger we worked up after the day in the nature and walking a lot and breathing fresh air, but this was one of the best meals ever! The food was soooo goood! The best chicken Alfredo and mozzarella cheese, the tastiest Caesar salad with flavorful croutons lol The service by was fast, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend! 🫶

Eli was the best! My family came here to celebrate my great grandmas 96th birthday over 4th of July weekend and it was a great experience. Eli took all 15 of us by himself and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. I’m a sever / bartender myself and was very impressed with how he handled the large group. (Especially with a few needy elders). The food was great, but the service Eli provided made it a night we will all appreciate and remember.
