You know it is Olive Garden. You get what you expect. If you were coming here looking for authentic Italian cuisine then you are crazy. The food is ok. Not great but not horrible. The only time I really come here is when they have some special dish that they are featuring. This seems to be when they really step up their game. Which is saying something for Olive Garden.
I will say the last time I was here our waitress Carla gave us 5 star service. Some of the best service I've ever had at any Olive Garden if not anywhere. She was very attentive. Wasn't stingy with the cheese on the salad. She even added some cheese to the salad, mixed it up then added more cheese on top. Very nice. Great attitude too.
Pretty much everyone is addicted to their bread sticks and they hand out Andes mints at the end. The prices aren't too bad for what you are getting. Still my best advice is wait until they are featuring a special dish. Some of them might surprise you. Olive Garden just made this? Yep. Not half bad.
But at the end of the day it is what it is. Pretty cheap, completely Americanized Italian food monster super chain. Or I guess Italian like food. Don't want to piss off the Italians by calling it Italian food.
It is like what someone said about Starbucks once, They must be doing something right or they wouldn't be everywhere.
