The thing about Olive Garden is it’s the best kind of predictable. You know what you’re gonna get and you know it’s gonna taste like some prime time satisfaction. Last week I had chicken and gnocchi soup, chicken parm, a big coors lite (draft cause I’m a classy boy) and enough breadsticks to make a monkey jealous. My server was a champion and I was happy to give a 30% tip ?
My wife and I haven't been to Olive Garden since the pandemic. We had the best experience this evening. Our server Evelyn was very pleasant. Always comes around to see if we need anything unlike most servers who disappear and have to flag down all the time. Jonathan the manager was also very pleasant. Really nice guy to talk to. Olive Garden is such a joy to eat at. Delicious food and great hospitality. Bravo!
My family and I love Olive Garden but this one really takes the cake. This place has the worst service I have ever experienced.My family has experienced it all.From taking 40 minutes to take our order for my son's birthday or taking 30 minutes to bring us the bread sticks on my wife's birthday.Or telling us that bread sticks are brought upon request.Not offering us cheese on our meals or if you would like a refill on your soupYou could ask to speak to the manager but the last time this happened (on our son's birthday) the manager did nothing to improve things let alone seem to care. (The manager today, Derek did care)Trying to get a glass of water or another beverage is like a going on a epic quest, which is most likely going to result in the quest being forsaken out of frustration.We asked for a glass of water twice. Our soup and our meals arrived at the same time. Very disappointed ☹️VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR SERVICE DEFINITELY NOT GOING BACK.
Brought my sister here for Mother's Day lunch. Haven't been at this location in years but from what I remember, this was one of the top O.Gardens in the country. Got there right when it opened. Servers welcomed us as we walked in and we were quickly seated. Our server was attentive, friendly and personable. Food was tasty and wished we made room for dessert!
A little bit of a wait to be seated but of course that's expected with such great food & reasonable pricing. Service was top notch! Wish I could remember our servers name. She's the one with the pretty, long eyelashes. Think she needs a raise. Will definately make this the Olive Garden I go to on a regular.
Always nice to return to the Garden. The Alfredo is the best I've had. Except this time there was a musty smell on the carpet in the dining room.
We had a very good service ,it made our day,,young man served us,name Arian,,
Be prepared to wait a while to be seated. Even though online they supposedly have no wait in 25 min I went from #14 to #12. Not gonna be seated in the 30 min window they gave me. I could have cooked a pasta dinner in the time it took to get seated. Food and portions are adequate at best. Service is lackluster could be alot better. If you really want olive garden make the drive to a different one. Trust me.
I originally gave the rating for the Olive Garden in Chula Vista. Customer relations contacted me within an hour of my review. I explained why I gave the bad rating. within 15 minutes of my explanation I received a $40 egift card. I was on my way to LA County on Sat when I received it via email. My wife and I decided to stop at the restaurant in Laguna Woods. The food quality was great. The service was exceptional. I would give that visit a 5.We appreciate the prompt response and the opportunity for Olive Garden to redeem themselves. Later that day I received a call from the Manager at the Chula Vista restaurant who also offered to make my next visit there a pleasant one.
First time coming here in years, disappointed with the food quality. The gnocchi soup was 90% broth and I only had 3 pieces of gnocchi. The bread sticks were hard and flavorless. The shrimp scampi was ok. I did pick up which they had in a timely manner and the servers were kind and informative. But I probably wont be back, the prices have gone up significantly since last visited but the quality just isn't there.
