04/15/2016.I see a lot of reviews saying slow service and tasteless food. Well we must disagree completely. My wife's best friend invited us to a late lunch at Olive Garden in Monroe. Not expecting a big deal just friends and lunch. Well was I surprised . First they had a special buy one meal and take one home starting at 12.99. I'm like OK must be small portions, wrong not small. Then you choose from unlimited soup or salad and bread sticks. I had the Chicken Gnocchi ( delicious ) then I had the Zuppa Toscana both out of this world.My main dish was Sausage Rigatoni. Well I'm not going on and on about what we ordered there was a lot of food involved and it was wonderful.I believe The most important thing for any meal is the service and it was awesome. A special thanks to Yalonda H, She was very attentive, polite and hospitable. When serving us everything was on Que never late never early. It was like she knew what we wanted and when we would want it, fabulous. This is top of the line service my friends. So all I can say is give it a try and ask for Yalonda H and be prepared to enjoy a tasteful and relaxing meal. For Service, Quality and Cleanliness I rate this Olive Garden FIVE STARS Thanks, The Food Dude .
