Used the call ahead seating said we'd be there in 20 minutes they said there would still be a short wait after we arrived which we were all good with but we waited over an hour and there was no end in sight. There were many couples and groups the same size as ours that went ahead of us. When we asked the hostess about this we just got the run around. This was the first and only time that we will try and eat at this establishment.
We arrived to this restaurant late Friday night, around 9:30 PM. Most of the families and patrons were leaving, and we thought they might just start cleaning and close for the night, although their schedule said “opened until 11 PM”. We needed a place to have a late dinner since we had all skipped lunch that day. This restaurant did not disappoint. We were three hungry and tired travelers but these people made us feel at home. They were welcoming and helpful and their waitress was marvelous, accommodating caring and quick. The bar also made a delicious drinks, and made my mom very happy with their Italian margarita, which consists of a margarita with a shot of amaretto. This was very clever and delicious. We chose an appetizer that we had never had before, stuffed ziti fritta with two dipping sauces, we loved the alfredo, we suggest you to give this a try. For dinner, our table ordered a chicken gnocci soup, a 3-pasta dinner plate and a chicken alfredo. Of course they brought us their delish warm breadsticks, and salad. We did not want to overstay are welcome, so we took our tiramisu and strawberry cream cake to go (which were supremely good). I know this is a chain restaurant and some may raise an eyebrow, but what makes a restaurant special is great service, and that their food is consistently good. You could not go wrong here with either one. The manager was so gracious to come to our table and we were very happy with the wonderful service we received! Def going back in May when we return.
For my first time dining with the franchise, it pretty good for being the "Mc'Donalds of Italian food". My only feedback that prompted me to write a review was that my waitress served the table's drinks by grabbing them by the rim, a huge no-no in the restaurant industry! Waitresses should know how to properly deliver beverages as I was in the right to ask for a remake and deny them due to contamination. Training on table side etiquette would do wonders for this establishment!
Our server was great. He was friendly and stayed on top of everything. The food here is ok, but a not fanatic. It's a little overpriced. There is not a while lot of variety, but you can usually find something that you'll like.The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The staff was great. The four stars is more about the chain than the individual restaurant. This specific place was definitely on top of their game.
My Fiancee and myself Decided to go have a late lunch after a visit at Geisinger. We arrive at 2:40. Just in time to get lunch. Lunch is over at 3pm. Now granted the place is slow and not many people. We were asked to sit a wait to be seated. 15 min we sat waiting to be seated. I am on crutches and they take me to the other side of the dining area. You would think it would be close if you see I'm on crutches. When we are seated the waitress took a bit to get to us. Now we miss lunch. I asked if we can still get the lunch and we were told no the computer automatically switches over to Dinner. We order our drinks and waitress asked if we were ready to order, I replied not as of yet. My fiance was on the phone and she asked as if that was a problem cause he was on the phone.Walked away shaking her head. JENNIFER!!!! That was her name... will not return
Our server Cyn was awesome and suggested the chicken gnocchi soup which was delicious. We had a great time.
I really enjoyed the time at olive garden great services and really delicious food❤️
I picked up a take out as we were on our way home from New Jersey to Wilkes-Barre threw a snow storm. The manager was so accomadation on letting me have 3 take out meals. Way to bad out to go in and sit down and eat. The food was piping hot and delicious. The waitresses helping were very friendly. When the manager heard I was disappointed about getting some take home meals he was quick to répond to make it right. Because of the snow storm no one was stopping in to eat, and I ordered on the phone while traveling on the road. Told them when Id be arriving around, and my food was ready. Kudos to the Wilkes-Barre Twp. Olive Garden. Specials Thanks to the manager that night!
Great food and delicious mixed drinks! Staff was fantastic, pleasant and concerned. Will visit again and again!
