There are so many servers and they all have small or shared section, so I'm really baffled at how hard it is to get one at your table.
The food is great once you can finally get it to your table, but trying to both flag down our waiter AND get what we asked for was painful and slow. I sat drinkless for a good ten minutes after all the non alcoholic drinks were brought out and was finished with my entree before my soup ever even showed up (and I am a very slow eater!)

Went in for lunch and definitely enjoyed it. Our waiter was great and attentive. Had a manager walk by and check on the waiter that was serving us. Was easy to pay the bill and definitely love eating the chocolate mint, as it brings back memories from when I was a child.
Kid-friendliness: The kid menu has a lot of options for a parent to pick out depending on how picky your child is. They definitely have kid friendly choices that most kids will eat.
Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible as the floor is flat and level. The only issue may be if you’re sitting towards the back as some of the hallways are super busy with staff and may get run into or run into someone that’s working. But definitely easy to have a wheelchair and eat here. There’s also a wheelchair accessible ramp outside to get in to the restaurant.

Just an outdated version of Italian fast food at ridiculous prices. The server, Kim, was great but the food... not so much.

We went to go eat inside and as we were eating our appetizers a roach 🪳 crawled across our table. We let a staff member know about this and he said that they just had their “bug day” and that some may still be coming out. He apologized and was very nice. He offered to pay but we decided to leave. The appetizer was delicious but if it wasn’t for the roach I would rate a possible 5 star. I was sooooo ready to eat my chicken Alfredo too. 😢💔

Family and I were in longview for a middle school basketball tournament and hungry after a 12 hour day. Daughter suggested olive garden, one of her favorites. Arrived at 7:30pm on Saturday, so they were busy, no big surprise and to be expected. Hostess wasn't very helpful in offering a time frame and I almost felt she was talking to me in a way that might discourage us from waiting in hopes we would leave. I told her very firmly we would wait, no matter how long. We were hungry and weren't leaving. I asked her about how long of a wait...she just kind of went...uhhhh...and ignored me. We stood for a bit until we found a place to sit. While sitting in the waiting area 3-4 servers kept "waddling" thru there looking all haggard and slouchy making "comments", mostly to do with seating and complaints directed towards the hostesses. The hostesses worked all stressed looking at their seating charts like it was a college algebra problem. One server waddled thru and had a stinky smell as she passed by us. The kids smelled it too. Ironically she ended up being our server. She was incredibly nice but lacked hygiene and smelled like sweat and other odors. 🤢 that was a bit of a turnoff towards our appetites. We ate our meals. The food was good and the value was good. No complaints there. As we left, there was an African American gentleman that seemed to be in charge and he was talking to most of the waitstaff and the hostesses in the front with some sort of gripes and angry demeanor. I think he was telling them not to be asking to leave early or something of the sort. This fella stormed off crossed right in front of me and was really flexing on everyone his authority. It was a negative vibe. Not very professional.
