I took my girlfriend to Olive Garden for her birthday lunch! She had the ravioli carbanero and I had the new steak on fettuccine pasta with crumbly blue cheese. Our server was Teagain! She was kind, sweet, and super professional! She took our order, got our drinks, and served us salad and breadsticks. We never had to ask for anything! I have ate there plenty of times and I always left there saying I'm never coming back! I'm writing a review because our waitress was a 5 star server and I suggest you ask for Teagain when you dine there! If you want great food, great service, and a great price, go to olive garden and ask for Teagain!!!

So I made a reservation for 34 people for a 40th Birthday party Dinner a month in advance. The food was great but the general manager was not. First of all they try to give you a 2hr window to eat. Let's just say that didn't happen. We did have 34 people with kids there. The 2 servers Matt & Ruby were phenomenal! They did a great job, however my son, when he went to use the rest room overheard the general manager Charlene Laboy the one that I made the reservation with, bad mouth our party and complained to another manager that we were taking so long and that we didn't need another table, that some people in my party can stand. Well I'll tell you I WILL NEVER USE OLIVE GARDEN FOR ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN. The only good thing that came out of this is the food was good and we had a good time other than management who sucks. I will never use Olive Garden again.
Food took forever to come out. The tablet they used for us to pay on didn't work . It took about 45 minutes to pay. The manager was supposed to come over to help but she neglected to. We go there often and just about every time there is an issue. I don't blame the servers just the managers. When there is a problem the Manager should be there to help not hiding. Next time we go out as a family Olive garden will definitely be at the bottom of the list.
Why did i never come to olive garden before?!! First timer. Came w two 5 year old girls. The affordable kids meals are loved . The wine selection is awesome . My meal- stuffed chicken marsala, is phenomenal. The vibe is calm, yet very kid friendly, perfect for a mom trying to wind down while also feeding kids. Lastly and most importantly- service is make it or break it for me. Our server Ruby is one of the best ive had eating out. Shes personable, sweet, efficient, fast, knows what shes doing. Service is 12/10. Manager Sandi came to check on us, which any good manager should do. We will be back. Safe to say the olive garden is very underrated. Bonus points for the kids thinking were at a "fancy" restaurant, only possible w a clean and well managed establishment.

I haven’t had Olive Garden breadsticks in YEARS and have been craving them, so I got a salad and breadsticks yesterday evening. Salad was absolutely disgusting, I took one bite and couldn’t stomach it. Lettuce tasted old and the dressing was just awful. The breadsticks were good however, but I’ve been throwing up all morning since eating those breadsticks, with that being the only difference in my eating, I would avoid Olive Garden 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 never again.

I came here for lunch with my parents and it okay. The servers were very attentive, and the decor was lovely. The berry sangria was not great. It was way too sweet to the point where it was like drinking a glass of sugar water. The spicy Italian soup was not spicy at all, but had good flavor. The entree, 6oz sirloin with a side of fettuccine Alfredo was okay. The steak was well cooked. However, they skipped on the sauce for all of our pasta dishes and we wound up having to order an extra side of Alfredo sauce. Overall it was a decent experience, but I definitely do not recommend the sangria.

Placing families only in the back corner is really insulting behavior made worse when we're made to wait to be sat there. I thought it was a fluke the first few times but every time for over 4 years isn't a fluke. Your customers notice and we don't appreciate it.
