Olive Garden Italian Restaurant offers a mixed dining experience. The entrees and breadsticks are generally good, and the breadsticks are considered the best in any restaurant by some guests. The garden salad is average at best. The dessert menu is impressive, with options that are truly awesome. The restaurant's parking lot is spacious and easily accessible, though it can be busy. The atmosphere is relatively quiet, even with background music, which many find pleasant.
Service can vary. Some servers, like Jenyttzy, are very charismatic, friendly, and energetic, providing good service that makes time pass quickly. Other servers may struggle to meet expectations; for example, in some cases, staff may get slightly annoyed after multiple refills, though it might be due to repeated requests. Overall, all staff members are nice, but there is room for improvement in consistency and staff training.
Food quality is generally excellent, with many guests praising the calamari and the drinks like the strawberry lemoncello margarita. Prices are slightly high but considered very worth it by most. The restaurant's manager, Everton, is appreciated for running a great operation that makes guests feel well-cared for. Despite some minor issues, such as occasional delays or mistakes like serving lukewarm soup, the restaurant has a friendly environment and offers a good dining experience overall.
