I haven't been to olive garden in a few years probably but my husband insisted on going so I said ok well tonight I remembered why I don't go now that being said olive garden has amazing food very clean and very nice and beautiful but how ever every time I go our watier sucks and yes I mean sucks it took her almost 20 mins just to see we needed a refill on our drinks then another 10 to bring them now keep in mind they were not very busy and she only had 2 tables at the time including us it also took her 20 mins and the manager telling her just to get our to go boxes and took another 15 to just get it and we're we don't look like we have money I will only go out if I can tip at least 50% I've tipped up to $100 to someone that wasn't even the one waiting on us but her table did her so wrong no tip 16 people and didnt even somewhat clean after themselves witch is horrible..that being said i probably wont come back for a good while the food was amazing but it wasnt worth being treated the way we were

Olive Garden lunch for 2. Waitress was great, and the restaurant was neat and tidey. Food was just OK. Cheese stick and dipping sauce seem to be missing a little seasoning. Bread sticks were too crunchy, did not seem warm, and fresh like normal. The gnocchi chicken soup was sparingly on the chicken and gnocchi. Egg plant parmesean was lunch portion but still a lot of food. Sauce was without flavor. Noodless were cooked perfectly along with the eggplant. Sweet tea was as expected. Overall, it was a 3.7 experience.
Very nice staff. Food was decent. Great team work!!

Can’t say much about the food. We were seated and had time to discuss the menu and what we were eating. A family was seated across from us and the waitress straight to their table and never acknowledged we were even there. We did not wait any longer. Left and went to Ted Lobster for some great service and food.

Our food was cold, my broccoli wasn't even cooked all the way done!! Steak was not cooked properly!! It was tough as leather! We waited over an hour for our food. I will never go to the Olive Garden in Monroe, LA again!! Worst Olive Garden that I have ever been too!!

My recent visit to Olive Garden left much to be desired, as I encountered a slew of disappointing issues that marred what should have been an enjoyable dining experience. From cold food to soured olives, room temperature dishes, frozen cake, and lackluster service, here's why I won't be returning anytime soon:Things started off poorly when the table and seats were sticky and still had crumbs from the previous guests.It did not get any better when I asked the server if they could make a non-alcoholic beverage. The response I received was an "I dont know," followed by a blank stare as I was expected to pick something else, despite being two strides from the bar/bartender. Our waiter seemed the mumbled queries we did get were very hard to hear. It was clear that customer satisfaction was not a priority.Next up, the salad. As a fan of black olives, I was dismayed to discover that the olives served were soured and completely inedible. If I would have had a paper napkin or anywhere to spit it out, I would have. I told my husband if I came down with salmonella, it was the olives that did me in.I ordered Zuppa Tuscana (soup) as my entree. Instead of coming out with my husband's food, it was served at the same time as the salad. I had no choice but to eat before him. The soup was already at room temperature when it arrived, evident that the dish had been sitting out for far too long before reaching our table, detracting from the overall dining experience.Thinking that a dessert might turn in an otherwise disappointing meal, I ordered the tiramisu. The plate arrived with a suspicious blue drip and a purple smear on the plate. I do not know if these were syrups from the bar or cleaning products. I just knew they did not belong on our plate. To top everything off, the cake was still frozen. This was not only a letdown in terms of taste and texture but also a clear indication of subpar quality control and attention to detail.Overall, my experience at Olive Garden was far from satisfactory, marred by cold and expired food, frozen dishes, and poor service. With so many other dining options available, I see no reason to return to Olive Garden any time soon.
