Consistently, worst service EVER!! We go to restaurants at 3:00 to beat the crowds. Olive garden has a problem with seating customers at this time. We ask for a booth - they offer 1/2 boorh 1/2 table - then when we ask for a full booth, they take us to a tiny small booth when my husband is a big guy and all other occupied full booths are with 2 people. They are NOT busy and there are over 75% of their full booth not occupied. They also put everyone together in one room with no spacing even though they have plenty of servers to space things out. Other people also comment on the seating. This happens ALL the time. We even stayed away for 6 months because of this and just tried again today and it was the same exact thing all over again. It seems they train them to do this. Not sure why - are they thinking to keep open for the dinner rush? We would be long gone before the 5:00 on rush to fill up the restaurant. NEVER EVER again!!!
