Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
The service was good. Food was brought out promptly, the order was accurate, and the waitress put our leftover food in a box for us. The food tasted just OK. My guest did not like his food at all (steak with pasta and no seasoning), while I thought that some of my food was good (the sampler appetizer of three items) and some was just OK (alfredo, parmigiana, lasagna). I liked the salad and Italian sodas (orange and caramel). I liked that we didn't have to wait long for a table, as much of the restaurant was empty for a Sunday lunchtime. The table and chairs were comfy, and the decor was nice. Overall assessment: The prices were a little high for the OK-tasting food.
