Average, at best.. I'm not a fan of the Olive Garden. However, I do occasionally enjoy the all you can eat soup & salad lunch special. The soup is always great...as is the salad. Can't really go wrong with those.

The service is pretty unremarkable though. The last time I was there, the waiter was bringing my drink & spilled the whole glass on me, my fiancee, & the table!

He looked like he was having a rough day, so I tried to make light of it & laugh it off with him. He ended up bringing another drink & several napkins. All was good till I got the bill. He charged me for the glass that he spilled on me along with the replacement glass he brought me! I was shocked! I was also shocked that a manager never came over to talk to us about any of this. We walked in there warm & dry. We left there cold, wet, & being charged for the iced tea spilled on us!

I won't go back anytime soon.

Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant.. In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.
