Excellent!
What a great place to celebrate my 5 yr data-versary : )
we got here a little before 6PM.
There was no line.
Its our tradition to go to an olive garden just like we did in the beginning
(its their fault we're in love, they started it in 2005 by setting up the mood when we were "just friends"!)
Our server was so friendly and easy going, he put us at ease and we were able to enjoy the meal.
The team there was attentive, fast, and courteous.
I got a virgin Tangerine Palermo(sp?) b/c I don't drink alcohol.
Its off the menu since a few years ago but if you ask the bartender he will make it for you.
Its the best drink ever.
At first, they did serve me an alcoholic version of it without carding me which I thought was a bit odd since I look twelve.
I took a huge sip in an empty stomach, and yikes it was STRONG and I got buzzed and a mild headache that followed,...
anyways the server fixed it and got me a virgin tangerine palmero(sp?) and apologized.
I got the trio sampler:
stuffed mushrooms
pork ravioli
battered fried calamari.
Dang good stuff, especially the calamari!
I also got the new "Lasagna Fresco" (?)
basically stuffed lasagna with plenty yummy cheese and tomato sauce.
I loved this dish.
Minestrone was hot and fresh as usual.
I would totally go back again, even if I got an unintentional buzz.
