Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I am writing my review today for awareness.
My Husband and I went here recently and had a white female waitress who gave us horrible service.
I do not know the reasons why.
It felt like racism low key, but I am really not sure what reasons she has for treating us differently than the rest of her tables.
She barely checked on us and she rushed away when she did check on us.
There was an another waitress waiting tables next to hers and she was AWESOME!
I noticed her checking on one table multiple times and she even served me when my waitress was not attending to our table the same way she was attending to her other tables.
I truly want to give the benefit of doubt here, but it felt very obviously painful she did not want to serve us in the same manner she was serving her other tables.
She brought out my salad when I ordered the all you can eat soup and salad meal …..
It was NOT how I remembered Olive Garden’s salads being.
Barely any salad in the bowl and she did not come to ask me if I wanted more or not.
We had to flag her down for refills on our drinks and my soup.
It was an unpleasant experience and too much money for the service and quality of food we got.
Only thing I would suggest here is more training for this individual because it was not nice or professional how she treated us and made us feel as the customers.
I love Olive Garden and usually have a pleasant experience when I do go, but this time was not great.
Please train the staff more so that others that spend their hard earned money here do not have the same experiences.

It was ok.

It's getting better

The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh, hot and comes out in timely manner! GARRET is the BEST! Top notch customer service! Very attentive, polite and helpful. We’ve also been waited on by TAYLOR and she’s a delight as well! We love dining here! Great, personal experience! And the manager also stop by the table to check in and make sure everything is good!

I sat at the bar today at Olive Garden and Joseph took really great care of me. He was attentive without being overbearing, super friendly, and made sure everything came out just right. He checked in at the perfect times and really made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. You can tell he takes pride in his job.

Definitely one of the best servers I’ve had here — thank you, Joseph!

It's an Olive Garden. Sunday after church, lots of folks coming in for a nice meal, but in our room tables were full and very close together. Servers dealt with the difficulty of managing large trays of plates of piping hot orders in such close quarters. Overall, service was efficient and pleasant.

Had such a great experience at Olive Garden! My chicken Alfredo was absolutely delicious — creamy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. And the pumpkin cookie butter cheesecake? Amazing. Sweet, rich, and honestly one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while.

The salad and breadsticks were fresh as always, and the staff was really friendly and attentive the whole time. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, which made the whole meal even better.

Definitely a five-star visit. I’ll 100% be back!
