| - This was NOT my first time at this location. I actually frequent this location pretty often. However, I guess the world wanted me to hold out on writing a review for it until this very night. I kept telling myself to write the review after each time, but ended up writing about something else.
BUT, now I can write a review for this location of the famous Olive Garden chain everyone knows so much about, at least I am assuming.
This was the first time I went with a 10 grouper. Usually its the casual date where the guy just loves Olive Garden that much or family and friend outings. However, this time I was with an organization who have end of the year dinners. (Year, meaning, school year, UNLV).
In the past I have had good service. I never had issues, everything is always good. At least everything I choose...
Well this time, they had two people from the wait staff(gender neutral is happening) and they both were just really rushed for some reason. The gentlemen on my side of the table was nice and suggested all these things, but would not let me get my word for the longest time. He just kept going like the energizer bunny. That was just my drink order! Which I had some pomegranate drink which was fantastic, but then came the meal and at first I did not know what I want when he got to me, then I decided, however I took too long apparently because he skipped me... thank buddy. Now I have to wait for you to go all the way around because you could not wait five more seconds more me to find what it is I really wanted.
Back to me, OK cool, so I ordered and then he went to grab the menus and caught his arm on my friends drink across the way. You expect the usual spillage of ice and drink all over the table sometimes your lap... but no. Not this time. What you do not expect is to be hit directly in the forehead with an ice cube... (ya you ponder how that happened because I have no clue). I have some type of beverage on my arm, little on the pants, but I am still astonished about the ice cube that hit my head. New restaurant experience to add to the books? I think yes.
He did not even apologize to me, only to the person whose drink it belonged to. He just kept on rushing.... It may be a Friday night, but still.
Other than that, my experiences have been good. Great food, great drinks, wine, sangria's, the works. Did not like their restrooms, they are shaped so awkwardly...but that is just me.
Ok rant complete. Maybe an update down the road will help them get to a 4 star... to be continued...?
