One thing I absolutely love at Olive Garden are the bread sticks and soup here! So yummy. I end up eating so much before my actual meal comes out (unlimited bread sticks and soup!) that I am too full to finish my entree.
However, I find it a bit irritating that they don't take reservations. It doesn't make sense to go to a place with 6+ people and have to wait all together at the front. The wait is usually very long, especially for dinner time (at least 30min). The place is big, but always packed and usually very loud.. I guess it is more of a family dinner place. I'm not sure if anything on the menu is amazing either. Especially for the price, I think you could go elsewhere with a better atmosphere and better food, with less wait time.
I will still visit Olive Garden for lunch (you can get just the bread sticks and soup for less than 10 bucks!), but probably never for dinner and definitely not for a date or for big get togethers.
