Olive Garden. I love it. The service is excellent especially the last visit. This place is a bargain and unbelievable the way the waitress brought everything so quickly. We didn't have to ask for anything. Think it and it was there. The salad so fresh and food always perfect.. highly enjoyable experience.

Not sure if it was the time of day but my food was not good. The bread sticks were stale and the too much alfredo sauce was used. I asked for it on the side but it was put on the food. I ended up not eating most of it.

It has been decades since I dined at Olive garden.

1. Reservation: You need it. They are packed! Had to wait 40 mins cause our group came without a reservation, last minute decision.

2. Food: edible
I did not really like the taste, but it was okay. Absolutely edible especially considering how hungry we all were after a long day.
Quite salty and extensively oily.

3. Drinks: Not good.

4. Service: Excellent. We loved our waitress. She was wonderful

5. Huge parking lot.

We visited this Olive Garden recently, and unfortunately it was another disappointing experience. I ordered the Tour of Italy, and my wife had the spaghetti and meatballs. The portions were noticeably smaller than what we remember, especially considering how much prices have increased. Even more disappointing was the taste — both dishes were bland and lacked the flavor Olive Garden used to be known for.

To be fair, the breadsticks and salad were the best part of the meal. They were fresh and familiar, and honestly the only items that met expectations. Everything else felt generic and underwhelming.

What makes this more frustrating is that this wasn’t an isolated visit. We’ve eaten at multiple Olive Garden locations over the past few months and have consistently noticed the same decline in portion size and overall quality. That strongly suggests this is a chain-wide issue rather than a problem with one individual restaurant. The food increasingly feels mass-produced, consistent with items that appear to be centrally prepared or frozen rather than made fresh.

Service also fell short. The hostess and our waitress seemed largely disinterested and more focused on their phones than on the dining room. After the food was dropped off, we didn’t see our waitress again until the check arrived. There was no follow-up or engagement during the meal.

Overall, this was a two-star experience. Olive Garden used to be a dependable, comfortable option for a casual meal, but between the smaller portions, bland food, and inattentive service, it’s hard to justify returning at the current prices.

Food was decent. Service was not great, I sat in the bar area.

The bathroom was pretty gross, which makes it hard to wanna go back to your table and eat.

Not sure if the food was better than other olive gardens but it tasted great. The service was exceptional from the host, manager, and some of the best service I've received from our waiter Aman.

Food was great..... One complaint, we ordered 1 litre of sangria, the jug was overflowing with ice, with little sangria..

Other than that excellent service and food.

Service was average. We got our soup, salad, and entrees at the same time. Bread sticks took a while. Waiter didn't stop by as often as we needed but when he did, he helped us out and was pleasant. Having the mobile kiosk at the table takes away from it being a finer dining establishment.
