Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Our waitress was friendly. Food was good. Appeared fairly clean. Tons of parking. We went on a Monday for supper and it was not busy at all. The bread is very salty so I wasn't a fan of it.

Went for lunch with my best friend, and food came quick ordered my drinks and food at same time. We both ate our soup and pasta and as soon as our waiter came back and forced the payment machine in our face and told us to pay mind you we still had foot on our plates. Maybe were in the restaurant for like 5 minutes tops. We were told to pay and then weren't even asked if we wanted to take to go the rest of our meals. Just given to go drinks not even asked if we wanted a refill of drinks or anything. We paid because we felt we didn't have an option and then were given our chocolates and to go drinks which I have never been offered ever and rushed out of the restaurant. Mind you it wasn't even that busy at the restaurant.

Had never been to an Olive Garden so had high hopes. The food was quite good actually. Was shown a little iPad to do stuff while we waited, atmosphere was ok, definitely a mix of everyone there. Food tasted good and was about the price you’d expect. Everything went well and probably would’ve rated higher except no one told us we had to pay to do anything on the iPad at the table. We were told it was just to use while we waited, no mention of being charged for it and nowhere on it did it say pay to play. Kinda ruined it a bit because we were not expecting extra charges on our bill and felt like we got scammed a bit to play. I don’t know if I’d return only because of that and felt a bit sneaky especially when we had mentioned we’d never been to an Olive Garden. 🤷‍♀️

Food tasted good. Service was friendly and attentive. As we were leaving, one employee was chastising another near the hostess stand. That shouldn't be happening in front of customers.

My wife and I went to have a much needed lunch date. I could tell we were going to be ignored from the moment we ordered the soup, salad, and breadsticks. It seemed like we were 2nd class citizens or something. Our waitress came back one time about 5 minutes after we received our first bowl of soup, but we obviouslyweren'tresdy for more. After that it was at least another 20-30 minutes and even then it was because my wife got up to use the restroom and the waitress apparently remembered us when she walked by her. Who knows how much longer it would have been. She never came back after about the bill or anything. I just used the kiosk. I do wonder how long we would have sat there. Some of the bowls of soup were loaded and others had almost nothing but broth. The food was okay, but overall a
