Soup in Cleveland

“We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..“

“My wife is gluten free…

OG has gluten free pasta …

When placing her order, our server Austin- who was amazing- asked if the GF order was a “preference” or “allergy” …

As my wife is celiac and answered accordingly, extra precautions were taken.

First - Austin made sure to bring the salad with no croutons- he knew not to add them, we didn’t even realize to ask for it that way …

Second- Austin explained that the order was taking just a little longer as the GF pasta was being prepared

When her dish was brought to the table, Austin explained the extra precautions so to avoid any cross contamination

When we paid the bill, I saw on the screen that Austin typed in for the order- “Allergic Guest” about four times to alert the kitchen accordingly.

Olive Garden takes Gluten Free allergy seriously and we appreciate that very much.

It can be challenging for my wife to eat outside of the home because of her issue, Olive Garden in Cleveland takes this seriously and makes sure their guests are handled properly

Big kudos to Cleveland OG, Austin, kitchen staff and management.

Thank you for such an excellent experience.“
