i wouldn't normally even review an Olive Garden. everyone's been to one and you think you know what you're going to get. however...
we were seated and waited 10 minutes before Hakim came to get our drink order. since we'd had plenty of time to look at the menu we ordered our dinners too.
we ordered a sampler w/ fried ravioli, calamari and stuffed mushrooms. i ordered spaghetti and chicken meatballs w/ pasta fagiole soup. Danielle got a build your own pasta w/ salad. Hakim brought the salad out but didn't bring my soup so we had to remind him to get it. then our sampler was brought but without any dipping sauces, so we had to ask for those also.
the dinners were fine, though i didn't care for my meatballs at all. i ordered them because i'd had them at the Montrose restaurant a couple weeks ago and thought they were real good. these were just not good. don't know why. just a different taste.
i sense that Hakim began to notice my utter disgust w/ our experience so he started to be a very little more attentive though not much. he was slow to do anything. drink refills took long enough that he could have gone down the street to refill our drinks at a gas station.
the one thing i'll give him credit for is that he didn't charge me for the chicken meatballs since i didn't finish them. that was nice of him.
we won't be going back to this location again, though, as we'd had another bad experience here a number of months ago and the staff and management just don't seem to care about making customers happy.
