We ordered the Calabrian steak and shrimp without tomatoes. The steak and shrimp along with the spinach were seasoned quite nicely, but the noodles were a disappointment. I can't even explain them, they just were not good. Had a glass of Moscato and an Italian Margarita which was just ok. Needless to say, this visit left a lot to be desired. I am unsure if I will visit again anytime soon.

Food was good, but the salmon was a little salty, and the vegetables were a bit soggy. The vegetables should be warm and crunchy.

The service was good, but the server forgot a few things and did not come back in a timely manner. The server was very courteous and respectful.

The new port news location sucked !
Walked in 15 min wait due to shortage of staff , got table , was told by waitress may not have what I ordered. Got bread sticks COLD, one of our soups were mixed with another. And our second salid wasn't even a half a bowl, I asked for a refill and after 15, 20 min I had to ask the waitress again , reminding her how long ago I asked the first time , and to finish it all off the kiosk were down so we had to wait on her to pay out bill

The experience tonight was extremely lackluster. When we first walked in we specifically asked for high chairs for our two toddlers, but we were sat at a booth and still had to request high chairs and we were only able to get one due to being sat at a booth.

When we got our salad, we realized we didn’t have any silverware so since our toddlers were becoming impatient, as kids do, we began feeding them with our hands…while we waited and waited and waited for our server to come back.

When we finally caught another server he told us that there was no clean silverware and offered us plastic ware.

We waited 30+ minutes for our food and once it finally arrived the food was cold l, lukewarm at best. The fettuccine Alfredo noodles looked old as if they were sitting in the expo window too long. We should’ve known when we overheard another table complaining as well.

We left tonight still hungry for food but full off of disappointment. People don’t come and spend their hard earned money on convenience for poor service.

Had a group outing for a going away. Decently presentation of salad and breadsticks for every table. Not bad speed for serving food and drinks.

I truly wish if you were going to offer a lunch menu that the guests time was taken into account. Went in for a quick lunch today and ended up leaving right after we got to the table. Took half of my lunch break just standing in olive garden.

If I can rate this zero I would. I literally waited an hour and 45 mins for two orders for pick up. My first order of food was very cold, my salads were hot.(they shouldn’t have been packed up in the same bag) Not to mentioned I received the wrong drink. I had to watch other people complain about their food. Watching the employees talk amongst themselves while customers needed help. I shouldn’t have had to wait for almost 2 hours and waste $200 worth of cold food.
This isn’t how I wanted my mom to spend her birthday. I really don’t appreciate this. I DO NOT recommend going to this Olive Garden.

Curbside pickup ordered entree that comes with choice of soup. Got wrong soup called spoke with Jordan that used company policy of looking up my order and apologizing to me for the mix up acknowledging the error and told me to come pick up correct soup at my convenience. Today was my convenience called to pick up soup jesus attempted to interrogate me about a bowl of soup I should have gotten with my order I paid for and already rectified the situation with Jordan. Jesus wanted to do a second look up and said it’s policy. I already completed that. Then jesus threw Jordan under the bus. Talk about awful character at the workplace toward coworkers. JORDAN IS HOSPITABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED, POLITE, HUMBLE, AND AN ASSETT TO OLIVE GARDEN. YOU CAN FINISH THE REST. LOL

Three of us went in we spent a hundred bucks on dinner our salads and food came out at the same time My wife's pasta been sitting under heat lamp so long that the pasta was getting hard on the edges. You know as hard as you have to work nowadays to earn $100 why in the hell do people think it means nothing for you to spend $100 in their establishment I will let you know this I will never ever ever walk in this Olive garden again possibly never in another one Carrabba's loves to see us they love to take our money and they always service very well.
