While the meal we had was really good we were told we couldn’t do the take home meal as they were out of spaghetti and meat sauce… this being 11.45am on a Tuesday… how do you run out of spaghetti?

Olive gardens quality of food is way lower than it used to be. The staff was friendly enough and the food came out super quick. I dislike the electronic check out with the tablet, it feels super impersonal.

I had lunch with three of my friends. We had a nice time and I ordered ziti to take home . I tried the ziti this evening and it didn't have any sauce on it.It was just dry noodles very disappointing. If you order takeout, be sure and check what you're getting.

We arrived at 12:02 pm on Friday December 5th. Hostess sat us and someone would be with us shortly. 20 minutes later no show on any waitress. Two waitresses were being at the register for a long time. We decided to go where there actually was better service.

My husband wanted to surprise me with date night and decided to take me to Olive Garden since I've never eaten here before. I was excited and nervous to try it since I've heard very mixed reviews from a lot of people, but I left feeling quite satisfied with what we ordered and the amazing service.

For an early evening dinner on a Friday night, the wait was non-existent to our surprise and we were seated immediately. We were getting a little worried though because after being seated, we were waiting at our table for about 5-10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. Thankfully, after flagging down someone and getting momentarily helped by a different waiter, our own waiter, Jonathan, showed up and apologized for the wait. Jonathan's demeanor, professionalism, cheerful attitude and humor saved the experience from going downhill.

My husband and I ordered some drinks (which were amazing!), and calamari to share which was crispy and flavorful while paired with the 2 dipping sauces it came with. The restaurant had a special going on in which we could order soup or salad and pasta of our choice as much as we wanted. My husband ordered the Zuppa Toscana soup and created his pasta to have Italian sausage, five cheese marinara and angel hair. I ordered the Chicken & Gnocchi soup with fettuccine alfredo and crispy chicken. Everything was so good, the portions were decent and all the food had incredible flavor. The breadsticks were fresh and so fluffy; we enjoyed dipping them in our soups.

We loved that with this deal they send you home with a pasta to go, so we both customized another pasta each and also ordered dessert to go (we got the Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake and Black Tie Mousse Cake which were both so good!).

Overall, we both very much enjoyed our time at Olive Garden and were very happy to have Jonathan as our waiter; it's not often we get outstanding service from a waiter so this was one to remember! We've love to return in the future, and hopefully we can get Jonathan as our waiter again!

Went for Mom's Birthday, ordered Eggplant specifically no sauce and just cheese came with no cheese. The waitress added grated cheese. It was the Cook that didn't make it right. Waitress had to wait for them to make it right. No! We got our meals and waiting for the correct meal for my mom.5 min.? My Mom said it was fine with waitress just putting grated cheese on it. Good. ☹️ It was Mom's favorite place?

Quick to get sat at a table even with a busy lobby. Food was consistent and what to expect with Olive Garden. The server Gracie was attentive and gave great service throughout the meal.

Gracie was our server and she was top notch! Attentive and prompt! We were rarely waiting for anything. The food was tasty and not much of a wait. We were in for an early dinner.
