Sad looking lady at the welcome desk caught my attention...I thought to myself not a good sign...Disinterested server....he perked up when it came to pay and give the tip...calamari was undercooked..my moms entree was over cooked...my chicken tasted like it was freezer burned...drinks were not refilled... young lady that delivered our food was the only one that made our experience palatable...a friend made a comment about drinks not being refilled and she apologized and said understaffed...I'm not one to write negative reviews but man o man this location needs some management direction. Suggestion...go to the Orange location and get some management tips...well managed, food is always good and servers are cool in Orange..

We bought the girls chicken akfredo with chicken and the free alfredo that thier suppose to give with the meal was a tiny cup 2 oz. And the bread burned & hard .very bad customer service at curbside .

Have not been to an OG in a while... This location was very nicely laid out, had a nice feel when we entered and smelt really good. We were seated quickly (around 7:30 pm)... We're waited on in short order by friendly staff. Ordered our drinks, then our food. What can I say, the salmon was awesome!

Honestly I use to enjoy coming here. The ambience was nice you could here Frank Sinatra on the background the service was good and the food was great. I hadn't been here in months and every time I seem to notice the changes. The music I can't hear which isn't bad but I liked it. The service is not bad but could be a lot better, but the food doesn't taste the same. This last time it was undercooked and cold. They serve you less and they seem to be tight with the garlic bread. So sad cause I really liked Olive Garden.

I have not been to Olive Garden since 1998. Tonight, my family and my in-laws went to the one in Buena Park. Calamari was good. I got the unlimited bread sticks, soup, and salad. My wife got Tour of Italy. My in-laws...emm can't remember. Service and Food was good. I am just not a huge fan of Olive Garden. Plus, way too many people inside.

I went about twice in a week. Both times I had the Fettuccine Alfredo. It was good. The service was fast and they were on top of making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. I would recommend going if you are looking for Italian.

Food done great service above and beyond been in other restaurants from same company this location has been the best!!

We're glad that there is an Olive Garden nearby where we live. Customer service was good, and purchased for pick-up. Most of the food were decent, portions seem to have gotten smaller for the price. We did buy a portion for our kiddo and ordered broccoli, unfortunately, it was over steamed and some had brownish discoloration. Good thing we caught it before feeding it.

Well I guess I can say we walked in and almost immediately was seated in booth. I don't know if I imagined it but there used to be more food on the plates to actually fill the plates with an actual proportion equal to what you pay, not anymore and I don't expect a huge sized meal obviously but I do expect a full plate of food especially for the prices the restaurants charges for the tiniest size food items?!! I don't understand how its not a issue with most of the customers and I don't mean just this establishment it am saying this for every restaurants that is doing this or will be soon!!! Im honestly gonna say if you don't have a lot of money when thinking of eating here or anywhere really just cook it yourself in the comfort of your own home I wish some one would have said this in the reviews I read!! Make it your own recipe for way less money!!

The tiramisu dessert was good. Salad was good. The seating is semi- private w/ high backed booths. The unlimited table games are fun and worth the $1.99 charge. Server was extremely friendly and likable but was too overly attentive. Overall, too expensive for below average food. Alfredo was dry and chicken marsala was way too salty.
