We planned an impromptu surprise birthday party for my Mom and it was AMAZING! Faith was our server and the lady at the front also helped coordinate when Mom arrived! Faith was absolutely AMAZING! She made us feel like we were the only ones in the entire restaurant and we had a large table in a room to ourselves! Thank you Faith!!Dietary restrictions: We asked for something with no cheese and she put it as an allergy so that they would not put cheese.

Food was very off last night when we we went. The food had a grainy taste to it. We told our servicer but she don't do nothing about it.

I am not a fan of corporate restaurants. Specifically the ones in Baton Rouge. However, I grew up in Lafayette, and this Olive Garden is a staple. It is SO MUCH better than any other corporate restaurant I have been to. I know it’s not genuine italian food, but you can’t deny how good their salad and chicken & gnocchi soup is. Order the alfredo sauce with your breadsticks, you won’t regret it.

Definitely ask for Gavin at the Lafayette location.Kid-friendliness: This restaurant is laid out in such a way that they can seat you in whatever environment you and your family are most comfortable.

Hadn’t been to an Olive Garden in a hot minute and I have to say it was surprisingly very good! The waitress was very cordial and friendly, however, it didn’t seem like she had the order of operation down pat, took a long time for every step of our dining experience, or maybe it was just a slow night for her, but it was literally over an hour, wait times were just kinda long. I got the endless soup and salad which I highly recommend, so filling and the bread sticks were fantastic. One complaint is that for other ppl at the table ordering entrees they couldn’t substitute their side dishes, so you end up paying 4x for the same big salad bowl. Anyway it was a great experience and I will definitely be back ! The chicken gnocchi was by far the best soup out of the list ! Go try it outOh and the Chocolate mousse dessert was divine

Service and cleanliness was great. The rating is for the food quality. While everything was hot and fresh, the quality is very VERY low for the price. I'd have rather gotten ice cream for dinner. Everything tasted like a microwavable dinner.
