Not to put down a chain restaurant, but then it's a chain restaurant... you get what you get. I was meeting someone at this exit for dinner and frankly Olive Garden seems to be the best option (Hooters... No Thanks!). The place was pretty busy for 8pm on a Sunday; I guess decent dining options in this area is still that limited. The service was ok, but our waitress wasn't the best at refilling drinks. Menu hasn't changed much, but they now have a new soup (Chicken & Gnocchi) which I tried and thought was pretty good :) I had Short Ribs w/ Risotto in a Chianti wine sauce. The rib meat was tender. The sauce was good, even the risotto was acceptable. The baffling part is why the f they put plain ole green beans and julienne carrots all over the top of my risotto?! I guess that may have to do with the fact that I was at a restaurant where white zin is considered a quality wine option (and obviously very popular among the ladies...) Ok, that was my smarty pants self coming out.
Besides the little oddity of my dish, the entire "experience" was a-ok.
