20 minute wait for lunch? When the parking lot and dining areas were half full?

I always have an amazing experience at this location. Staff are always attentive, food is always good, and wait times are always fast. We usually go around noon and avoid the dinner crowd, so I can't speak to the business then, but the wait staff always work hard, and it shows!

We go here regularly, when I don't feel like cooking dinner. The entrée portions are enormous and the prices are just as high. Still, the staff are friendly and helpful and we always come back for a fast, simple pasta meal.

We arrived after lunch crowd but still has to wait 20 minutes because they were short handed with most of the tables open. I could understand that if it were before lunch with employee no shows but by 1:00 pm they should have had the replacement servers on hand.We settled on the salad and soup for $9.99 because of the late seating. Soups were good, the salad was so-so with mostly iceberg lettuce and only filled half way to what used to be normal. Alway can ask for more on all the soups and salad, however, it was easy to see the cost factored into how much is served at a time to cut down on waste and preserve a profit margin. The high wages and the high cost of food does out a damper on keeping a restaurant in business.
Enjoyed a meal with family and friends at the Olive Garden in Chico. Service was good and attentive. They even boxed up our leftovers and allowed our teenage sons to order chicken fingers off the kids menu. We got them crayons.

Food was fresh. We had guests that joined us after we had already sat down and the staff accommodated them with ease and friendliness.

Had a wonderful Sunday dinner with friends from church.
Pretty good Olive Garden. The bread sticks were a little over done, but the fettuccine was delicious. The soup was what I expected which is exactly what I'd wanted that night. Very busy when we went and very loud inside. It was hard to visit with each other. The wait was around 15 minutes. Service checked on us multiple times which is always helpful. We got the last parking spot. Be careful when you pull in and out because a lot of times the line for In&Out will block one side of the parking lot.
