Very good

My husband and I went out for our anniversary. We were starving and Olive Garden has always been so good. So we went in
We were seated right away. Great!
Then we gave our order in a timely manner.
We ordered a pitcher of sangria and our meals.
The pitcher took a long time. I asked about it and was told the bar was backed up. Been there before. Not stressing..
So a few more minutes pass and we get our sangria. Not long after our food comes out. I'm not one to complain in a restaurant I was a server for YEARS! But.... I had a very visible hair mixed in with my meal. I instantly got grossed out. Told the server. She did the right thing and took it away. Then she tells me she will get her gm. I'm thinking great! We haven't had a great time and maybe he can help... nope! He comes over, defends his kitchen crew. And I told him I understood. As I've also been in the food service this can happen. I want to be clear. I NEVER look for a hand out. But the service and whole experience were lacking. I expected at least a percentage off my meal. As i had to wait while my husband had his. Also what's the all you can eat breads ticks and salad for the first course only??? That makes no sense... anyway. I'm telling you this because I've eaten at this specific restaurant many times while visiting wenatchee. And never had service/ food like this.

We went out for our family's birthday dinner (all 6 of us have birthdays in a 10 week period). When we checked in we were told it would be a 20 to 25 minute wait. Great. 45 mins later I asked how much longer we could expect as the one year old was getting HUNGRY. She said prob about 20 more minutes. Okay we figure by the time we load up, drive to new place unload that'll be more than 20 so we wait. During this time a much larger group than ours checked in and they were told a 45 minute wait. Every customer in the waiting area heard the host say that which was evident when they were called back before all those waiting and everyone was really upset by this.We checked in at 520 and we're seated at 650 just as we were ready to give up and leave. I also want to not a party of 2 checked in and were told a 20 minute wait and the guy said so probably an hour and the host replied yes!! Waiting is NOT the problem. Honesty IS. Just be up front with people. I'd rather you shoot for a longer wait and bring us back earlier than to stand there with 4 hungry kids for almost 4x the estimated wait time we were given. Then.. the restaurant was so busy our server as hard as he tried couldn't keep bread sticks on the table. We hardly saw him and I am not blaming him because he was exceptional it was just a busy night but I will say if there is a large party maybe bring each person 2 bread sticks to start and when refilling bring each person 1 or 2. Especially if they've waited that long and are beyond ready to eat. I had ordered the dip and never got to ask for my second flavor because the host wasn't around, again not his fault the place was packed. Anyway, as you can imagine for a family of 6 it is quite expensive to eat out and especially when you feel like you didn't get the experience you paid for because the place was so busy... Our fault. We came from Quincy and had no idea it would be so busy! We could have driven to texas roadhouse in Tri Cities with the amount of time we waited. I really hope you can take this information and just be more up front with estimated wait times. It isn't fair if you are just telling everyone low times so you don't lose any customers.

Karter had very good customer service and made us feel welcome and he didn't seem bothered to help at all, he was very kind and gave us lots of Alfredo sauce, which is amazing cause we love that stuff.

Rafael is literally the best server I have ever had! Being a server myself, I was impressed beyond belief! He went above and beyond to give us the best service with a smile, some jokes, and took my family with a grain of salt. (We are very sarcastic)
We absolutely adored him!
Also the food was delish! But he made the experience better!!
