16 Best Soup near Columbia

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

““When you are here, you are family”, the old logo retired in 2012. As I entered the restaurant I was told to follow the hostess, an older person that seemed stressed out, and they sat us by the sunny window (4:00 pm). I quickly asked if we could sit in a booth where then sun was not in our eyes. The hostess quickly moved the napkins to the table that was not a window but was not a booth either, then walked off. In my mind I’m thinking, it’s okay, at least the sun is not in my face anymore. I asked someone if they had the never ending pasta deal. They sarcastically replied: “Well yeah, it just started Monday!” I just laughed. I’m thinking why are people so unhappy or stressed out here? I just asked a question. Just answer with a yes or a no please. When someone requests a different table it would be nice if the hostess politely asks, “where would you like to sit?” I was well aware that that logo was retired: Not being treated like family here lol..!! I noticed a family of four (two of them in their 80’s) was being asked to sit super far away from the entrance. The couple’s son asked if there was a closer table as his parents were having a hard time to get to the table using canes. Those are just minor things. Businesses that have politeness and friendliness usually stay in customer’s hearts. Remember that I am giving you a point of you of my experience on that Friday around 4 pm. I am not criticizing or giving this restaurant a hard time. I also want the reader to have this in mind and tell the hostess where the reader would like to sit. We ordered the never ending pasta with a protein. The food was great. The Shrimp Fritto Misto appetizer, the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, the Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and the garlic bread all were excellent. My waiter did forget to bring me my soup. After my second and final bowl of pasta I asked her if I could have my soup. Her response was that we had all ready had salad and that we could not get both. I responded that I never had salad or soup. Our waiter looked puzzled. I told her well did you write our order down? She immediately said: “oh yes, I’m sorry, I’ll bring it out immediately.” Like I said, I am not criticizing but do sympathize with the workers as it seems that management has these workers under lots of stress. There should be happiness among workers and that will convert to an amazing level of service and a great atmosphere for the best Italian meal. I chose not to complaint when management came out asking all of the tables if their food was hot and good. It shows that management wants to show good quality control. The hot meal is part of the experience. We chose coffee for our drinks. Our first coffee was warm and it quickly turned colder when we added the cold creamer. You tend to drink coffee faster when you drink cold coffee. When our waitress said I will get you more coffee and noticed we needed more creamer she said: “oh you like more cream… looks a like you drank creamer with coffee instead of coffee and creamer.” I have lots of patience and just smiled but I ask you: is that comment necessary? Whether it is a joke or not I believe a waitress should be on top of things to her best gratuity as possible. She still got 20% from us ($24 out of bill $112). I want you to know that while we ate we ordered a Large Pan Lasagna to go for like $65, good size for the price. The food was great! I will definitely come back soon as I loved the food here. I thank the unseen team members, like the cooks, that make this place a great place for a great meal. I encourage you to come to this Olive Garden in Colombia, Maryland and enjoy the great tastes this restaurant has to offer. I explain how my experience went down so that if you have a similar experience you too can practice your patience and understanding with the knowing that your tummy will be happy!!! Everything else that happened is like they say: “Water off a duck’s back”!!! Stay blessed!“

“It was first time we came here. We got “Combo 2” which comes with Rice, Salad, Tzatziki sauce, beef kabob and chicken. You can do half salad half rice or you can choose either rice and salad itself. We did half and half. Chicken was good. It was cooked well and fresh. Beef kabob was good too but I wouldn’t say it is the best kabob I’ve ever eaten. It was a little chewy but not too much. Salad was mostly lettuce. My wife found only two small feta pieces in her salad. I got nothing. French Fries omg that was soo good. I didn’t expect that! Fresh and tasty! Portions are very much big enough. Service was kind. Overall, it was good experience for a mall’s food court. Definitely better than fast food chains in that food court.“

“Delicious commercial restaurant. Bare in mind that Covid has affected all restaurants to one extent or another. A lot of them have closed. This Olive Garden is actually doing well. Good job guys. With the closing of Pasta Plus this is my favorite Italian restaurant in this area“

“I've eaten pho only twice in my life... both times at the new spot on Main St., Pho Viet 75. My review: Taste is consistent. Quality is consistent. Portions are excellent. Presentation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Packaging 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You get a container with broth, chicken and onions. Another container with the noodles, a baggie with drop-in pho condiments. I also ordered 2 spring rolls that came in the container with the lettuce, but I ate them before thinking of taking pics. My bad. The little saucies are for flavoring which you completely are in control of. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Likely to return Will recommend to a friend Covid-19 compliant I felt that they were relieved I ordered on-line because we didn't have to exchange any money. I tipped in cashola. Support our local businesses. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.“

“THIS PLACE IS THE ONE!! I come here often since its not far from my house, and OneLuv has some of the Best jamaican cuisine I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Soft fluffy coco bread and flavorful patties with the perfect flakiness. I recommend their brown stew and their curry chicken they’re absolutely phenomenal !!! If you’re someone who enjoys delicious, authentic jamaican food like I do, I highly recommend OneLuv Reggae!!“
