I am very disappointed to have to leave this review. My daughter and I love to go to Olive Garden and most of the time we have a nice experience. I am pretty sure we were pre judged when we arrived as being a couple of "Karens", but we never had the chance to prove otherwise, even when we tried to engage our server the few times we saw him. We were seated at the smallest table in the place, which would have been fine if the rest of the visit had been good. A table of 5 was seated right next to us after we had been there for about 10 mins. That table had beverages before we were ever greeted. My daughter ordered a drink, which wasn't full, and was very weak. The entrée was served after just a couple of sips of soup. I had ordered the soup, salad and bread sticks, but wasn't able to eat the salad due to some dental work. The server said he would box it up for me to take home. We also ordered a pint of soup to go. At the end of the meal, we waited for quite a while for the to go order. When it finally came, there was no salad, and no little bag for the remaining bread sticks. We tried to pay the check with the ziosk at the table, but it didn't work. So we tried to call the server, but no one came. We took the check to the front counter but couldn't pay there. They called a server that they thought was ours, but he came up, said "that's not my table" and walked away. Another server came over, and asked to look at the check. He saw who the correct server was and called him over. We were finally able to pay the check and leave. There were other issues, but the review is getting too long.

Food was good just normal olive garden but the bar tender made good drinks I had Amaretto Sour and it was very good had alot of flavor and was strong, but what I liked most was the waitresses wasn't up our butts. Like she let us try our food and gave us time before she came to ask how it was. Which was good 8 out of 10 will definitely be back

Manger was rude. I complained about asparagus being too hard to eat. He just stood over our food and said. So what do you want me to do? Smart like. I said I know I don't want you to stand here and act like it's okay. I'd like to finish the rest of my food.

This was the worst experience we've ever had at Olive Garden here and it's been a couple of years since we've dined here. First of all, they didn't start by asking if we'd like to taste the wine of the evening. Then our entree came before our appetizers. Also, we ordered unlimited soup AND salad and they didn't bring out the salad until we asked a completely different server. Didn't ask us if we wanted cheese on anything. There was absolutely no seasoning on practically anything and overcooked. Soups were watery and no gnocchi in the Gnocchi! No refills on the salad and we had to ask for refills on the soups and drinks. Server barely came to check on us. Oh, this is little but didn't even give us Andes chocolates when we paid!!! And had the nerve to circle the tip chart on the receipt when giving us the check. Wow. We used to really like Olive Garden. But if this is the type of service now, this is a serious downgrade.

The staff were attentive and friendly as well as accommodating. The food was served relatively quick once the waitress took our order.

Food was hot & fresh. Rolls were so-so; no real flavor. Minestrone soup was very good. Service was good.

Why not get a quick seat by choosing to sit at the bar? Walked past 10 people because my friend and I just wanted drinks and food. Menu was available and the drinks were good. I even ordered a cappuccino. The service was great and I enjoyed the atmosphere even if it was kind of busy. The bartenders were very sweet.

The food is good and service was fine. The issue is I specifically ordered the salads with no pepperoncini's because it's an allergy! It says right on my order! I put it in the notes and also it says it right under the salad. I circled it in the picture. I added a couple of each photo just so you can see. When someone says it's an allergy, that means it has the potential to seriously harm them! Now, I have wasted money on something that cannot be eaten! I should've checked but I trusted that the employees would do their job correctly!

Waiters were very quick to serve they were nice.

Soup tasted like it was canned, salad was the cheapest kind with a ton of onions, cheese sticks were short squares and they took forever just to get our order out.
