Friday night and time for some after work take out! I frequent this Olive Garden about 2-4 times every month when I don't feel like cooking. Rarely do I eat inside so this review is strictly on take out and the To Go area of the place.
The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the To Go counter people are fast and friendly as well. Today I ordered off the new lighter menu which is under 575 calories and tried the shrimp scampi. My order time was 20min which was perfectly exceptable. My dish was very very good. It was lightly sauced and my shrimp were huge. The asparagus was yummy and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed every last bite. The only thing I wasn't to pleased with was my soup. I ordered the chicken gnocchi and all I could taste were carrots. I didn't really have any because I didn't like the flavor. That is why I'm giving them a 4 star. The soup is always a hit and miss. It's either really good or other times its lacking flavor or even missing main ingredient.
The manager there has always been very helpful. I had ordered a huge container of soup for my family for us all to share. It was the zuppa tuscana and when I got home it was missing potatoes and meat. Crazy I know lol so I was pretty upset and called the manager and she ended up sending me a gift card in the mail to make up for the mistake. I was very impressed and that is why I have been loyal to this location. Customer service is exceptional and I appreciate that in a business.
