| - Pretty bummed about my experience here - food was good as always, service was really bad. I grew up going to Olive Garden & haven't been in ages so we finally decided to go & I was super excited.
We got to the olive garden around 8PM and there was maybe one other couple there but yet they gave us a 20 minute wait.. no big deal, we went to the bar & got some wine. At the bar there were 3 empty high top tables all dirty with dishes & glasses & no one sitting at them.. three!!! It took the staff a while to clean those off, so we sat at the bar. 15, 20, 25 minutes go by, no one is waiting in the waiting area anymore (its like 8:30pm at this point) and they still haven't called our name. So we go up and ask and they were like "oh sorry someone else came up and said they were Kerry so we seated them". Okay odd. But whatever. We go into the area with 5 booths & it took like 15 minutes for our waiter to come over. We see another waiter in the section helping all of his tables, but not ours....Finally I waved him down. And lastly, he took our appetizer before we were done with it because the salads came. Boo!
So the service was pretty crappy but the food, amazing as always. If you don't love Olive Garden, even at least just for the salad & breadsticks, you have some issues. So good. Authentic Italian? Nope. But just good comfort food. Overall, I will probably be back to an Olive Garden sometime, but not this one.
