Let me start by saying I've had many good meals at Olive Garden...just not recently. It may be a case of one location having issues. The prior meal that I had at Olive Garden was at the Pineville NC location and the service was not good. In my most recent visit to the Pineville NC location the service was much better. However the food was not,...much better. The predominance of salt in the pasta was just too much. In addition it would be a nice plus if the dish served even faintly resembled...food. All in all not a good outing. I ll have to say that I'm done with OG or at least done with the Pineville NC location .
