I was excited to take my Olive Garden leftovers home, but our server didn't quite understand. I asked for containers because I had barely touched my pasta, but when I opened the container, I found that only half of my leftovers were included! The rest of my food was left on the plate. Disappointing, especially since I was looking forward to enjoying it the next day. Please make sure to pack up the entire plate of leftovers.

I never leave bad reviews for restaurants. i normally give the benefit of the doubt, try couple times and if it still bad, i just don't go back but this time i have to!! The hostesses at the front are bad at their job is as plain as i can put it!!! Too bad in tough times like that i rather give my hard earned money to people that want it and deserve it!!! I will not be coming back!!! Not that olive garden will care anyway!

The nicest Olive G. I've visited, the food is good, drinks are really good, everything is flavored and juicy.The plenty of room and parking lot however it was full.The dinning room is so warm, full of nice dresed people, the manager and staff in general were so atentive.At the begining we were waiting for the table but quickly they assigned one, we enjoy the meal, a little bit late but delicious. Miriam was our server, she did a great job, offered a great experience in the place.Prices are affordable, portions are really good. Kids can color a book and enjoy in a table they have!The only recomendarion is to add a little bit of salt to The Margaritas, it tastes different.

We haven't been to Olive Garden in about 6-7 years. Because they are lousy we figured let's give them another try. nothing has changed. The bread sticks were hard as a rock. They forgot our appetizers. And the food was lousy. I wouldn't give you two cents for that place. I'm sorry to say. And all, the waitress did is complain about her pay. She gets $5.25 an hour.. Shame on you. What a waste of money.

Terrible service. I have an egg and dairy allergy. I asked that my salad be separate from the rest of the table so my friends could have their salad w dressing and cheese. Our server said she would do the dressing on the side. I again asked that she just give me a separate bowl so my friends could have their salad w the dressing mixed in and cheese. After much attitude and just staring at me, she came out w 1 bowl and dressing on the side. She said that's how they do it. I said id happily talk to the manager about my allergy to see if I could be accommodated since it's an allergy. She left the table and a few minutes later threw a bowl of salad on the table next to me and walked away. I asked to broccoli w my entree. My entree was served without the broccoli, but at this point I wasn't about to ask for the broccoli. When the check came I was charged for the broccoli, so I asked her to take it off since I didn't receive it. She responded she didn't know I didn't get it. Just terrible customer service. I won't be backDietary restrictions: They are not accommodating for allergies.

It was an Olive Garden. You’re not going for the Italian food, you’re going because you want breadsticks and salad.

My friends told me they were taking me to an Italian restaurant, what they didn’t tell me was that they were bringing me to the Mc Donald’s of Italian restaurants; OLIVE GARDEN.To start off with, our server Taylor Marie was a disaster and very inattentive with our table. She was too much engaged in gossiping with other staff members, all while the general manager was walking around carrying a ladder. 3 times we asked for coffee, finally we got our coffee. Our pasta dishes were cold and not enjoyable at all. There is a reason why this place is dubbed the Mc Donald’s of Italian restaurants. Olive Garden, you’re an insult to Italian food
