I dined in as a single at the bar. Food was fantastic and fresh. Seafood Alfredo with shrimp and scallops is on point! Server was friendly and attentive. Men's restroom was clean and stocked, but it did have an unusual odor.
All around a great experience! The waitress we had was really kind and took great care of us! The food was delicious!
My mom and I were feeling brave so we brought FOUR kids in with us tonight to eat and ABBY was our waitress. She was amazing. I felt terrible with how demanding our crew was but she did it all with ease. She made our experience a breeze and kept our kids happy and behaving good plus the food was amazing! Thank you so much Abby! Olive Garden Ann Arbor is so lucky to have you as the face of their establishment
Came here for dinner w my bf, he ordered chicken Alfredo n I got the five cheese ziti. The food was amazingly made n our waiter Daria, she was amazing. She was very friendly, attentive, n calm at all times making sure our food was to our taste n everything else. We both enjoyed our dinner last night ?
I was there with a party of 6 and most of us enjoyed our dinners, but the two who ordered fettuccine noodles were served noodles that were hard and didn't have enough Alfredo sauce. Also, the person who ordered steak said it was cooked on too high a heat, so it was tough on the outside and undercooked on the inside. They were surprisingly busy, so we arrived at 4:30 and had to wait for a table at 5:30 and they seemed liked they were rushing to take care of everyone.
We check in at 12:20 with call ahead seating stating our table turn was ready and possibly a 10 minute wait. Understandable. Lobby was full. The 2 hostesses seated entire lobby. We waited. More people came in. Still was by passed for another full lobby. (We are a family of 5) There was possibly 50 people seated while we still waited. We asked 3x if we were going to be seated. I went to the kitchen area and asked to speak to the manager. (Privately) He went to see why we were being bypassed. The girls told him our name was called 5 minutes earlier! My party was standing there patiently waiting. Never unkind. The 5 minutes was the 5 minutes it took to speak to the manager. My family was standing right there. 100% these 2 girls lied! He said it was in the computer we were called 5 minutes earlier. They watched me go toward the kitchen. It feels as if they added that for him to say that we were called. He got us seated. When we were seated these 2 girls went (blatantly in front of us) to tell our waitress we went and reported them to the manager to dirty her about us. This waitress never let these 2 girls words affect her. She was kind, caring and served our table with respect. We tipped her 20%. This manager NEVER came and apologized or even check up on these girls. I asked him to check how many folks were seated from 12:20 until he seated us. We live in A2 and many, many friends live here and can attest we are kind people. I am hurt for the disrespect we received and in our Building Business in this community we would never disrespect a client. Not one of Olive Gardens guests even knew we were upset. We handled it with dignity. Somebody needs reprimanded. This manager and those two young ladies. Appalling!
This was way more disappointing than we were expecting. The hostesses didn't know what they were doing and didn't seem to care, it took us 10+ minutes to get a waitress and my pasta was a bowl of oil, and they didn't even give us spoons. This place was nasty... and all the meals were $15+...? At least our server was very nice :)
Had a wonderful server, his name is Omar!!! Food was ? amazing, we will be back…
It's an Olive Garden, so temper your expectations appropriately. Going from that point though, it's the only Olive Garden I've ever been to that hasn't been a complete disappointment every time. The wait staff are attentive and friendly, the food has always been hot and fairly quick to arrive, and when we've had to wait a while it's been worth it.
The WORST experience I have EVER had in my life.Mike, the manager was so RUDE to me, when I came in and when I asked for another manager, I got a TERRIBLE woman name Sonya and she was so mean when I asked to be seated. There was only one hostess seating people and I know that was stressful. Why are they so understaffed ? Are they not paying people enough ? And then as a black person I did not feel comfortable. The people in the restaurant and the staff were giving me SUCH nasty looks. And it’s sad because this is supposed to be an upscale restaurant, but it was the worst experience I have ever had. Also when I received my food, it was cold, VERY bland. The soup had HAIR in it. My drink was RIDICULOUSLY watered down and my silverware was dirty and when i didn’t pay for the DISGUSTING service, Sonya and Mike threatened to call the cops on me ! Especially with the day age we live in, we know how that could end for a black person ! I wish I could give this place a 0/10 because this experience was honestly heartbreaking.
