Still Hungry
by rec28
I have never had a complaint about the Olive Garden and I have eaten there numerouse times. The portions are considerably smaller than they once were. Usually, after the meal I had to request a doggy bag because I couldn't eat all of the food, but not this time. We left unsatisfied, but the service was pretty good.
Pros: Good Parking, Good Service, No Wait
Cons: Small Portions
