Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
Have been to this Olive Garden on a few occasions. The food arrived quickly and our waitress was great. However, when we walked in the host and hostess were goofing around a little too much to be very helpful.

Good food, great price, many choices

I have always been a fan of Olive Garden and have tried many of the menu items that they offer. I am very found of the new smoked mozzerella fondu, the pasta fassiol (sp?) soup, and a number of the pasta based dishes. This location can get very packed so I suggest arriving early or trying to make a reservation (if they take them). Otherwise, they have a bar that you can wait at and get a couple of drinks. In mentioning drinks, they offer a great variety of frozen or chilled beverages. I highly recommend trying an italian soda.
Downside is that they sometimes have new people waiting tables and they put them out on their own too soon so you have to check for mistakes and sometimes remind them to refresh your drink.
Pros: Great value, good for families or large parties but also good for couples
Cons: Service can sometimes be lacking and there can be long waits
