Olive Garden Reviews

- service was nice as always - coctail was tasty - bread was just ok - soup had no taste at all - pasta Alfredo had no taste I was disappointed because before we had fab dinners in Olive Garden..

well, normally we enjoy this place. It's menu had changed once again:( It's very busy to look at way too much going on! The table is a mess.. There's a monitor you can play games & pay your meal but it gets in the way! The wine glasses need to go as well we didn't use them but now you have to wash them becuz the next person can't use them! The price of dinner is $17 & up for pretty much anything. I had the chicken rosemary w/spinach & mash potatoes. I had to search for the spinach there was maybe 3-4 leaves:( The chicken tasted like cardboard:( potatoes were a bit salty for the low calorie meal. Salad was good & bread was tasty!!

We hadn't eaten at an OG for years but were glad of our return. The linguini was satisfying, as was the draft beer. Comfort food with no prep and cleanup. That's worth something.

Having eaten at Olive Garden in Florida, Maine, and Oklahoma, I was used to their usual gluten free pasta and sauce selections. Always consistent and of the same quality you would expect from the regular menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see new gluten free options so I opted for the grilled chicken parmesan... OMG so good! Since going gluten free for medical reasons a couple of years ago, I really missed the tour of Italy of which my favorite part was the chicken parmesan... i was also nicely surprised by the new interactive menu and payment system so you can pay your bill, no waiting around if they are super busy!

Standard Olive Garden fare - what you have come to expect from an Olive Garden. Within walking distance of Hampton Inn Airport/Sea World.

Even though it's a chain, it's one of our favourites, and this establishment did not disappoint! Great food, great value, classic decoration, and great service. Our waiter Sean was a doll: very kind, great recommendations, and quick! Our order was brought out very quickly, as well! We had a plane to catch afterword, so our wish to be out the door by a certain time was met with time to spare.

Love the food and great service We got in early and were seated promptly. Hubby and I both had lasagna and you can never go wrong. Endless salad bowl and bread sticks are a plus

We stopped at the Olive Garden before our evening at the Sports Arena watching the WWE event. My 10 year old son ordered the Tour of Italy and ate everything and said it was very good. My pasta was also very good and I love the salad. The restaurant was very clean and the service was good. Overall it was the usual excellent Olive Garden experience as they tend to be very consistent.

Love Oliver garden for the all you can eat soup and salad plus the all you can eat bread sticks. The Shrimp Scampi was very good and the service was great.

This is a great restaurant offering some fantastic Italian food with great value and excellent deals. If you visit this place, try and ensure you are sitting in Cat's section. To date I have yet to find a more attentive and enthusiastic server in any restaurant! Great evening, highly recommended!

I took my BFF here for her birthday and it was amazing to her. The food was GREAT and the service was WONDERFUL!

Good food, along with good service. Was very busy with several tables with large parties. We had five in our party and everyone enjoyed. Had chicken parmigiana. Good salad and breadsticks.

Soup, unlimited salad, and their pasta is delicious!

Everyone knows OG is my most favorite restaurant! I drag my husband here all the time lol and he actually really likes it too! I've been to so many Olive Gardens before of course from all over and this one is Fantastic! The food is always on point and the staff are wonderful! Not to mention the location, you can't beat it. This is the location we always end up going to!

Food and service were excellent. Would eat here again, no problems! Seemed clean, and there was a bit of a line. I would go early for dinner to avoid a wait.

My wife & I had just completed some major home projects; we decided to celebrate. And as in the past, the Olive Garden never disappoints us. From the fine hostess to our server to the delicious food, the Olive Garden excelled off the chart!! Mary had Chicken Parmigenne (sp?) while I enjoyed a platter including Lasagna & Veal Scallipine. Of course, the bread sticks and house salad were awesome appetizers, too! For certain, this was a memorable evening and we'll be back again soon! Put it on your Friday, Saturday or any night list to enjoy. Bon apetit!!

I ordered the Lasagna Fritta and a side of chicken parmesan (wanted just that for some protein-only 1 breast, not multiple that come with the meal). When it came, it was only cut up chicken breast. I looked at her strangely and said "I wanted..." She said "Oh the rest?" I said "Yes, the toppings". She brought the same piece out with toppings-not like it should have been cooked, but slapped on and microwaved. I felt like a two year old since I didn't want or ask for it to be cut up. It was tasty, my friend ordered something she saw on TV, and I saw it too, Lobster Ravioli. She got something that may have been that but it was completely orange, it looked nothing like it did on TV.

I usually go to this restaurant,the food it's really good, although inconsistent the same plate different portion,anyway what I want to share with you it's about my last visit yesterday may 29 2015 the worst serice ever,by me been involve in the restaurant industry for over a decade make this imposible to belive than only 6 or 7 tables were occupied and after 10 mins the waitress ask us what we want to drink and it took another five when we decided to go some else because we didn't get anything.We ended eating at PHIL'S down the street which is the BEST in town.I almost forget to mentio that there were about five waiters and waitress which make this worst.

Family and I visited restaurant for early dinner. Parents LOVE to go to Olive Garden. The food is delicious, many different options, portions are perfect, not too much or too little. The salad and bread keeps coming without having to ask the waiter, drinks are never empty. The restaurant gets packed during peak hours, that's why I like to go for early dinner, between 3:30-4:30pm, it is quiet, service is fast, go almost straight from front door to table. They spread the customers evenly all over the restaurant. One of my pet peeves is when I go to a restaurant and all the customers are seated to one section and the rest of restaurant is empty. This makes for an atmosphere of intimate dining if that's what you want, They have blinds covering windows, if you go during the day but still want a romantic air, just ask the employees to drop the blinds and there you have dim light for your wonderful experience. What I liked best was the service, waiter/waitress are very friendly, never rush you to take order, they also make suggestions about what to order, and best of all they do it with a smile. Of the many times I have gone there that's what I remember the most. What I like the least is the location of the restroom. It is located at the entrance of restaurant, if I happen to want to visit the restroom mid-dinner, I have to walk past all the customers who are waiting for a table. Then when I get back to my meal I feel rushed by my own guilt to have all those people waitting on me when I finish my meal I normally just leave. What I have done lately is make sure I wash hands and use restroom before I go there that way I enjoy my experience even more.

great Italian :)

We received a $50 gift card at Easter and used it this past weekend for dinner at the Olive Garden on Sports Arena Blvd. The menu was extensive, the food was excellent, and the service very prompt and attentive. All in all the experience was quite enjoyable. The restaurant was promoting a light, fruity red wine and we bought a bottle. It was fruity, but disappointingly shallow--we would have preferred a dryer chianti or cabernet. The restaurant was very noisy. It was hard to carry on a conversation. Some soundproofing would be helpful. A couple was seated across the low wall from us, and the man laughed so often and loud that it was very annoying. We were happy when they left halfway thru our meal. For an Italian restaurant, even with an extensive menu, it was disappointing that they had no veal dishes, and no cannoli for dessert. A bit expensive for the results. Summary: enjoyable but could use improvements.

The bread sticks and salad were very good. We had the calamari appetizer and it was delicious. It were the strips and not the rings and were nicely seasoned. I had salmon w/sauteed shrimp for the main course and it was very good, however the sauteed shrimp came with some sauce which was not to my liking. Service was good. Bottom line is if you mind entrees covered with exotic sauces, then the Olive Garden is for you. Hold the sauce and its a great meal for those who don't like exotic sauces.

My wife and I had dinner at Sports Arena Blvd in San Diego on our anniversary Nov 22. Our pasta was a bit burnt, but we endured. I happened to look up and saw so much dust and spider webs on the lamps over the table we were worried might fall into our food. Oh, what joy! My wife had coffee, which took a while and had to wait a while to get a spoon to stir it with and a while longer to get a sugar substitute, and a long while to get a refill. The place really didn't have many people. I don't understand. We have been there before and everything was great, hence our smiling return. Well, next time we will try a different location, but I am sure we will never visit that one again. What a disappointment. C Ya

First and probably the last time going to an Olive Garden. Let me first say the service was good, seated quickly and the rest was avg. Our server seemed to be behind, we were seated before other couples and didn’t get our food until after two other tables with different servers. The food was avg for Italian, the salad you don’t pick a dressing it comes with one already. The bread sticks seemed to be avg not homemade tasting at all. My spouse has the lasagna and she thought that stoffers frozen was better, I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was ok but small in portion and I had the full size, our kids had the chicken something and it was ok for them (teens). With the price we paid we could have gone somewhere else with better food, better service and larger portions. Sorry but we did try and won’t be heading back. You can find better and cheaper Italian food other places.

We went as a family of 7 and they were very accommodating. It is very family friendly. The portions we big and good value for money. The food was enjoyable and our waitress ‘Millie’ was very helpful and patient. We went before 5pm and had the $8.99 deal of salad/ soup, unlimited breadsticks and a pasta dish. There was a good choice. The toilets were clean and had baby changing facilities. The only recommendation would be for the waitress to explain what the screen on the table is for and how to use it. We had a toddler messing around with it, not using it for any purpose because he had an iPad with him but he was touching it and we had a $1.99 charge added to our bill for the use of it. Would definitely recommend this restaurant in future though.

Olive Garden offers good food in a nice atmosphere with very friendly service. The prices are good especially if you do one of their value deals. However, for some reason it doesn't feel like a nice restaurant experience. It's not that the food isn't of good quality but it just tastes like food from an Italian style fast food place rather than from a real Italian restaurant.

My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat. We're from Portland, but were in SD for the weekend. We were having a bad day and just wanted to eat and get back to the hotel and recover from a long day. Our waitress (April) appeared and asked to take our order. We both wanted All-You-Can -Eat Soup and Salad like we usually order in Portland. They don't have that in San Diego. Bad day getting worse. April tells us that if we order an entree that Unlimited Soup comes with it. We both order an entree and we get our soup. Zuppa Toscani. I don't understand how the soup in San Diego can be that much better than the soup in Portland. Bad Day getting better. The soup was fantastic. The entrees (which we had packaged to go) were great the next day. April included bread sticks with our entrees AND even threw in two bowls of soup. Even offered to send some of the Romano cheese with us. Anyways...the good was great and the service was even better. I'm so sorry they are 1,100 miles away.

I personally is not a great fan of Olive Garden and after this visit, I have the same feeling. Not great variety of food.

The waiters were very nice, and the food got there in about 15 minutes even for a group of 18. Not to mention it was delicious. The price may not be in the average day's price range, but if you want to have a good date, or a nice time eating out, it's a great place to go.

Located on Sports Area Blvd, this Olive Garden was just okay. I started out with soup, pasta fagioli which tasted like it came from the bottom of the pot, a little burned. My main entree also tasted overcooked.

The food was great, I had the shrimp platter the portion was hefty I had to take some home (hotel). The staff was friendly price was adequate.

Good service, good price, friendly stuff, tasty food. I will recommend this place. Desert was also good

came here at lunch for our Friend's birthday with a group of 8.. Food was great.. we ordered for chicken and gnochhi(soup),shrimp scrampi fitta,grilled chicken flatbread,grilled shrimp capresse.. turned out really good.. what is worth mentionable is their SERVICE.. The waitresses were so organized with getting our order patient with getting our food, and switching it if we don't like it and constantly coming back to check on us..I never sat with an empty plate or bowl. So service was GREAT! Little overpriced but thats okay.. Definitely comin back whenever i crave for some Italian foods!! Olive Garden You Simply Rock!!

Soul-less. The cream sauce tasted fake and processed. I like the salad when it does not have too much dressing.

We went for dinner with friends and everybody brought the kids. Great food, great prices, friendly service, exactly what I expect from the Olive Garden.

We ate here with our grand children. Always good Italian food at the Olive Garden no mater where located

Went with family and friends including two toddlers. Great family restaurant, but there were long lines. Liked the unlimited salad and bread sticks.

Nice selection and good food; I wasn't bowled over my the entree I ordered, but my husband's lasagna was pretty tasty. Our food came quickly and the service staff was friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

I believe in service. The service at this place was tops. From the moment we walked in until we left. At the front door we quickly taken to our table. (No waiting, It was one o'clock mid week) Our server was very nice, helpful and attentive. (Quickly refilled drinks and brought more bread sticks) Our table of three all had the "never ending pasta" we all had two helpings with different pastas and sauce. All very good.

i had the chocolate milkshake and it made me puke. The sauce was horible. bad name for italian.Only the house salad and breadsticks were good. way too expensive

We ordered from Amazon for the first time as it is not available everywhere. The order was a little bit late which was not a big deal. No sauce for raviolis is a big deal. All sodas were missing and staying at a resort 1 soda is around $4.00.

It's like Taco Bell to Mexican food for some, but it's actually very good. The soup and salad selection is fantastic. The flavor is there but sometimes is there too much. They charge about the same as any other decent+ real Italian restaurant but some people are fans of OG. The wine is pretty good and the dressing is to die for. It gets packed, so beware of long lines.

Arrived a little before 9 pm was worried that they were shutting down the kitchen. To our surprise we were seated promptly and our order taken. The meal came out just how we like it. The staff was courteous and welcoming even with the late arrival.

Always enjoying Olive Garden. Nice seating, nice food, pricing is very reasonable, and ambience is great.

Great food at a great price! Many years of loving the Olive Garden's soup and fettucini alfredo! I receommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego.

I had chance to have lunch here in one of my friend's birthday party. loved their Shrimp Scampi Fritta, grilled chicken flatbread, salads....also i had italian wine for the 1st time, and it was awesome (dont remember the exact brand!)...i will go back again in coming days! just i did nt like the atmosphere of this one...

This was the worst visit to olive garden I have ever experienced service was horrible food was horrible service was slow front desk very short and rude with guests

I went here with a couple of friends in August 2014. The food is kind of what you expect from a chain like this, it's good enough for it's price but most dishes were way too salty. Also as a foreigner I wasn't able to drink a glass of wine because they couldn't confirm I was 21. (I'm 25 btw). And so I showed them my passport (the most international official id you can have) and they said they couldn't accept this because of their policy. Weird policy if you ask me and kind of discriminating when you come from a country where the legal drinking age is 16. So my dinner was pretty much screwed at that moment because anyone that knows me, if I can't get a glass of wine during a dinner. I am pissed. Especially when I am eating Italian, or what is supposed to be Italian atleast.

I love Olive Garden and the staff is excellent. The food outstanding and there is always much to choose from. I usually leave feeling vey satisfied and look forward to my next visit. The location easy to find and I am usually seated quickly upon arrival.

My wife and I stopped here after a long connecting flight from the east coast. We were looking for good food at a reasonable price and we found it here. We had an added plus with excellent, attentive service. The salad and bread sticks ahead of the entrees were excellent and prepared us for the entrees. My wife had the shrimp scampi and I had the tilapia and shrimp. we had a pinot noir with our meal. We were both a bit surprised when the waitress walked us through steps to pay our bill electronically via a small machine on the table. Ok I get, they are trying to go paperless but it doesn't add to the experience when you have the machine on the table while you are eating. It doesn't ruin the experience either.

Never gets old, always good portion sizes for the price. Unlimited delicious soups, salad, and breadsticks. Waiting stuff is friendly and we were promptly serve at our last visit. Lots of kids around but never really bothersome.

I was a little disappointed last night when visiting this Olive Garden is San Diego CA, normally it's a delightful experience eating at Olive Garden, yet we noticed a lack of attention from our server probably because this restaurant was understaffed. The food is still good like always, but when your server comes back only once to see if you need anything else after a long period of time it just makes your experience not all that enjoyable. I would have given this place a 5 star rating but the attention from the server and the manager as well was pretty much average.

Greeted at the door in a very unfriendly manner. We asked to check the menu first, which was apparantly “not done”. We had to decide immediately if we wanted to be added to the waiting list (half the restaurant was empty); after checking the menu we were immediately brought to a table - when I adressed the “waiting list issue”, the waiter didn’t know what to reply. Anyhow, the waiter was friendly and did his best to provide a good service. I choose the salmon, however this was of VERY poor quality. So ... definitely not recommendable.

The Chain speaks for itself, they serve the best Bread Sticks I ever tasted (You should really order the extra Alfredo Dipping Sauce) for your breadsticks. The Chicken Soup is awesome and their pasta and pizzas are amazing. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Gets a bit crowded after 6:30 would advise to go before if possible.

I might not be the best one to ask about the specials at this restaurant--my husband and I usually enjoy the all-you-can-eat soup/salad/breadsticks. However, we recently tried one of their new lunch specials (so new it wasn't even on the menu yet). I had the grilled chicken flatbread with chicken gnochi soup; my husband tried his usual favorite (pasta fagiole soup) together with a panini. The food was delicious, fresh, and hot when delivered to our table. The service was a little slow...but the entire restaurant was filled and the servers were all rushed. All in all, we enjoyed great food and "good enough" service. By the way, we ate at the Olive Garden off Mission Gorge Road, at the Trolley Station.

My husband and I both ordered lasagna,which was good but could have had more meat. The bread sticks were better than back home--not over done and had more taste. The tiramisu was dry and needed more liquorer. Both the men and ladies bathrooms smelled.

Ah yeah, S S & B always good...always! East coast, Midwest and West coast OG is consistently good. This restaurant holds true to OG's great reputation.

We were greeted by a very nice hostess. Our waitress was hospitable, knew the menu and ingredients , and gave us excellent service. Olive Garden is very good for a chain. We just don't like the beginning sales pitch about wine and other drinks. We are sure the corporate bean counters have figured out that it increase profit.

I was unsatisfied with the soup and salad I ordered. The soup was only served lukewarm, and the greens from my salad were wilted.

Lovely little Italian chain, very reasonably priced, big menu, huge portions and the best bit, unlimited hot bread sticks, plus unlimited salad and soup! The restaurant also has an electronic POS system for customers to use for ordering and paying and viewing the menu. Very cool and efficient!

They have a special menu with soup with refill, or a house salad with refill too, the main course of italian pasta you can add protein to your choice, chicken, meat balls or meat. The staff very nice, the waiters very kind and all the time asking if everything is ok. We went for saturday dinner and we enjoyed it a lot, excellent flavours.

Foremost, our waitress Cassandra was outstanding. Excellent food for the price we paid $10/3 courses!

Gross!!

We don't get to Olive Garden as often as we'd like, but whenever we are in the USA we try to make a point of eating at an Olive Garden location. This time, it was to celebrate my birthday. My partner and I ordered from the regular menu, but from the among the 4 express dishes at the top of the menu. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and he ordered lasagna. For starters, I ordered the never-ending garden salad and he ordered the gnocchi soup. Everything was an excellent choice. While I was visiting the restroom, my partner asked the waiter to bring a slice of vanilla cake, which he and I shared, to celebrate my birthday. We had a good table, we had good food and our waiter, Nate, gave us excellent service. It was really enjoyable and that is why I wanted to go to Olive Garden to celebrate.

The experience I had in the restaurant was fatal from the service that when my food arrived at the table it was cold and I wanted to talk to the manager on duty who told me that she would fix it her name Selena is the General Manager which was rude , a very despotic person, I will never eat in this place again

I used to like it, when I lived in suburbia. Then I went to Italy. Now nor thing in the US compares. If his place went back to making their breadsticks fresh at each local store then I might go back for their salad and breadsticks which used to be worth the hour wait, back in the day.

This is easily one of the best Olive Gardens I have visited. Clean, very friendly professional staff and the manager walks around checking with her customers which is great. Food was excellent with cold food cold and hot food piping hot including hot plates always a bonus. Happily return

First time ever eating at an Olive Garden and we loved it. Food was tasty. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Can't wait go back.

Let's be honest, Olive Garden is not considered "Fine Dining", however, I do expect more from this chain. When I dine out I don't expect to order from food, drinks and then pay for my bill with at my table with a mini Ipad. Our waitress was give half of the expected tip, since I did half of the work. If I wanted to order and pay via machine I would have gone to McDonalds. Won't be back until the machines are gone. Waitress seemed disinterested in answering our questions, she kept referring me back to the color monitor. Not good Olive Garden.... NOT good!

Love Olive Garden. Purchased our dinner and took at back to the hotel to eat. Everything was just as ordered.

Great food and staff, we had a really nice dinner. There are lots of choices in this area with good selections

While I really enjoy Olive Garden's House Salad and Breadsticks, this San Diego location felt tired and in need of refurbishment. Had the Rosemary chicken and it tasted a bit undercooked and rubbery. Wouldn't rush back. Especially when a good Red Lobster is nearly across the street on Sports Arena Blvd. My experiences with Olive Garden in The Villages Fl and in Florence KY were much better.

The food was great and the service was great. Only thing was not offered more bread sticks during lunch.

The food was delicious and the soup was amazing! I ordered the tour of Italy, my husband ordered the chicken parmesean and my son wanted the baked ziti. The server was very accommodating and asked the manager if that would be ok and they said yes. My son was super happy! Would definitely go back!

If you are in the mood for chain restaurant Italian, Olive Garden can't be beat. Their menu is extensive, but they have cut down on the choices of just spaghetti. Most of their menu is dedicated to fancy Italian dishes. My son got a dinner that was shrimp, chicken and pasta. My dinner was spaghetti in a rosé sauce with bacon, asparagus and chicken. My husband had chicken Marcella with spaghetti. Everything was great. The server was wonderful and, of course, the salad and bread sticks are their signature item that everyone wants. It was a little pricy, but it was good and fresh.

Went here on a Monday night when several of the other Italian restaurants in the area were closed for the evening. You always know what you're getting at an Olive Garden, decently prepared tasty food at a reasonable price. Just the right quantities of food, from the salad (nicely dressed, not too wet) and soup to the breadsticks to our entrees -- capellini pomodoro (my fave) and seafood alfredo (good, but light on seafood other than shrimp). All in all, a nice meal.

OG is my favourite chain franchise to eat at. The food was above average taste and quality at this one. It was busy but we were seated faster than avg only about 5 min wait at peak supper time. Our server was attentive and brisk. Food arrived in good time. A + guys !!

We went to Olive Garden for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday while in San Diego. It was a hot day and we did want some place outside where it would be a pain to eat. The restaurant is well located and you know what you will find as they all serve the same menu. We were well greeted and assigned a table at the back. Our waiter, Nate, who was apparently new, served us with class and explained our different options very well. I love their gnocchi soup and the pasta we both had was nice. All in all a very good option.

All 14 family members went to Grandma's favorite restaurant after the internment. We love Olive Garden as much as she did. The servers were very attentive and accomodating. We had many questions, substitutions and special requests. They handled our group quite well. It was all on one tab, which made it somewhat easier. The food was wonderful, as usual. The server allowed the one child with us to play on the table monitor for free.

No wait straight to the table at 6pm. Had the soup,salad and breadsticks followed by the tour of Italy Lovely dinner followed by the Tiramasu Nice atmosphere and good value. Thank you to Andrea for the great service.

Visited this location last night for dinner, and the service was great! The waitress was friendly, and the food was perfect! Was very good at suggesting things on the menu, and answering any questions we had.

Lunch at Olive Garden was good. The best Ceasar Salad! And kids menu's were good too. Pasta Alfredo very, very good too. Meals always too big to handle. Service was fast and friendly!

We went to try their new "never ending pasta " promotion and we were not disappointed. The meal starts with all the salad and breadsticks you want,, then on to the PASTA... I tried only 2 of the pasta dishes ( because I was so full and couldn't eat any more ) and they were delicious...I had the Penne Pasta with the sausage sauce and then I tried the Angelhair Pasta with the meat sauce....both were fantastic and for $9.99 you can't find a better deal for the quality food you get....OUTSTANDING !!

Salad overdressed. Shrimp with angel hair pasta was tasteless. pasta was much shorter and cut up compared to same pasta in our other pasta dish. The cut up pasta had other types of pasta on the plate! Six year old got a fork for his mac and cheese - had to ask three people to get a spoon. Every request had to be repeated with a oh I forgot as the response. server not seen once food delivered! We have visited Olive Garden in other states and countries and this was a very disappointing birthday dinner

I went there a couple months ago and servers were standing around talking, and the restaurant was full of guests. The business was busy, the food was great, but this company is going to fail if that many employees are on the payroll with so few things to do. They are clearly wasting money on labor costs. I returned to a seperate location more recently and found the same thing. Too Many people on the payroll does not sustain business.

Staff very welcoming. Promptly seated. Server took beverage orders and returned with beverages and hot bread sticks. He took our orders. Soup and salad orders arrived and were very good. Our dinner entrees arrived piping hot. We enjoyed Cucina Mia meal specials where you choose a type of pasta and sauce. My rigatoni with meat sauce. Everything was excellent.

They told us it was a 30 min wait, we went shopping stores next door and exactly 30 min later, received a text message telling me my table was ready. The waitress was very friendly and help me decide what to order. Food was great and abundant, the check without surprises.

This location provided one of the tops in service and food for the many Olive Garden restaurants we have visited in the western states. While the menu is "generic" for the brand there can be slight differences in the quality of the foods and this location provided superior meals. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Atmosphere was quieter than some Olive Gardens.

Who doesn't LOVE Olive Garden!? Great food, great location, great service. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Have really got to like this restaurant chain over the last few years. Different menu selection from the usual. Restaurant was very busy but service was very efficient and friendly. First visit for my family and the enjoyed their meals. Had a blip when we were presented with a bill, larger than ours, for another table. They had paid ours and scooted off. Took the waitress a few minutes to sort it out, not her fault, was very apologetic.

How can you go wrong at the Olive Garden? Their endless bread sticks, salad and soup are such a good deal. Every dish that I've tried has been great including the appetizers.

Went for a Birthday Celebration for lunch. Service started out strong and plummeted. Very nice but never got refills on drinks, bread sticks or salad. My little girl reminded me in car that she never got her side of fries. Our server was very nice and food was good. Server was just too busy to handle lunch crowd on a Tuesday all by himself :( In the beginning we enjoyed a sample of 2 different wines that were very good as well.

It was a Friday night but not a problem for these guys. They got us a table straight away and a waitress immediately, even though it was packed. The food was cooked really nicely and tasted great. The service was excellent. We couldn't fault them

The service was good and the waiters were helpful with their suggestions especially after a long day.

my daughter gave me the opportunity to be here.Grand children were the guides for me to choose the gluton free dinner.Son in law paid the bill with a great satisfaction.we celebrated his getting a new job.Will it not be exaggeration If I say "I heard a distant Stradivary playing Mozart? followed by Bethovan.." nice food and great ambiance.service was excellent.

WOW we went here 3 times on our holidays in SAN DIEGO. The food tasted very good, the service was exceptional, and the location was very good for us. the only thing that bothered us was the push to use the kiosh on the table. watch out the kiosh is going to take away your waiter jobs if you use to much.

We were looking for a relaxing meal in a nice sit down restaurant with full service. Although it was busy, we were seated within 5 minutes and our server was prompt and courteous.

We visited this restaurant while in San Diego for dinner one night. We always enjoy the food from Olive Garden. I asked if they could make me the original version of Chicken Marsala (I don not like the stuffed) since they have taken this off of the menu. They said they could and it was soooo good! Our waitress was so sweet and very prompt with everything. We really enjoyed our visit here. Thank you!

We are visiting the states and wanted somewhere to eat to cater to our whole party- we decided on Olive Garden and we weren't disappointed. There was a bit of a wait which was fine! We had a drink at the bar and were seated within 15 minutes. Our server was Jack- a credit to the establishment, he was attentive, polite and friendly- he bought us out a huge bowl of salad and fresh warm bread. From a fairly varied menu, we ordered pasta, mixed grill and chicken- it was delicious. We found the restrooms to be clean and in good order, the decor throughout is warm and rustic, nice ambience, and a reasonable cheque topped off a great experience, we would visit again.

We went here for a dinner. The food was all right. The waiter was nice. We think the place need athmophere. My wife(37) was asked for her ID for a glass of wine. That was strange

Food is typical as expected, customer service during this visit was exceptional, better than you usually get.

It was my birthday,and I had one of those internet coupons on my cellphone,which gave you a FREE DESSERT. Anyway,I had the Shrimp Alfredo and I have NEVER tasted a dish like that in a LONG TIME. It was the MOST incredible meal ever!(I had to pay for the Shrimp Alfredo,but it was very much worth it!). I am planning to go back to the Olive Garden but only in Temecula,CA. PERFECT!!!!!

I would recommend this place for dinner. We had a large party and the took care of us well. We had a great time and very affordable.

The best that I can say about this restaurant is that food there fills the void in one's stomach. That compliment aside, the food looks like it is Italian until you put it in your mouth. The unlimited salad has little natural flavor. The cheese does have a little bit of a flavor that is overpowered by the dressing that does not taste like anything like the quality I have had in Italy over three decades. The entre was too salty and the tomato sauce lacked the varied seasoning and that one expects in an authentic Italian restaurant. The "bread" sticks should be called butter flavored sticks. The bread did not taste like anything I have had in Italy. The desserts were pedestrian at best. The room in which we ate in the restaurant had more of a cafeteria feel given the movement of chairs and noisy din from the groups there that seemed to be looking for volumne of food without regard to real quality. Some folks may feel that I am a bit harsh. If you call yourself an Italian restaurant, expect me to evaluate your establishment on the basis of that which is authentic Italian- so that Americans will know if they are getting the real deal at your restaurant. In this case, they are not! If they were to use local suppliers for their fare, they food might have more taste that was not on account of too much salt or sugar. Regretfully, this is the first "Terrible" review I have ever given.

Love this place! Great choice of delicious food on the menu with great value for money as well. Family friendly place with a nice atmosphere -suitable for people of ages ! Service was fab , waitress was very enthusiastic and the food came quickly - can't complain at all I would eat here again anytime ! :)

Never been to an Olive Garden before - will definitely go back! Service was better than I've experienced before - fantastic! Food very good - love the breadsticks!

Always a go to place with predictable food and service. We always consider this a comfort food location.

We were riding the bus back from the zoo and stopped to eat. It was great after a long day of walking! The service was good and the food tasted just like at home!

We were in town for a convention and large group of chose to go to the Olive garden for a special dinner. It was prearranged and I am guessing there was 35-40 of us. They had a convenient location for all of us by ourselves in the back away from other customers. They had offered initailly 3 different choices of meal items, although they were open to you ordering other things off the menu and I did. (this was thru a coordinator and her emailing everyone in advance to get their orders) With so many people, it could have been very confusing but as we had all preordered, it went very smoothly. Staff was very helpful and courteous. I did not hear one negative remark about any aspect of the dinner. We thoughly enjoyed ourselves. I had ordered apricot chicken as an entree and it was very good. As well, their wonderful breadsticks and Tuscana soup (choice of that or salad) is that special Olive Garden touch. I thought this meal was everybit the same wonderful caliber of the two Olive Gardens I have previously tried in Alberta. I would highly recomend them especially for larger groups.

Great portions and great service by the staff. We had to wait around 45 minutes to be seated, just don't arrive ther too hungry. That way when you are seated you are going to be hungry enough not to be in a bad mood.

My elderly friend and I recently went to Olive Garden on Sports Area Blvd. We have gone there before and sometimes had good food and good service and other times not so good. This time everything was perfect. Out waiter (forgot his name) was very pleasant and did a good job on waiting on us. My friend is 88 and sometimes can get a bit picky about her food but even she was impressed this time. We both love the food at Olive Garden and will continue to go there even if it is not 100% perfect. However, I don't know of one restaurant that is always 100% great.

Wait staff made the visit great. Friendly and courteous. Food and drinks were great as usual.

If you like to have quality food and lots of it then this is your restaurant.The bread and salad are a meal in themselves and you get as much as you want.Save room for the yummy pasta dishes with excellant sauces.A great place for special occasions like birthdays or justa quick lunch.

We decided to have lunch at olive garden to give it a try, and we had an extraordinary experience starting with a warm welcome, a great waitress (who speaks spanish that helped a lot to my wife), really gently people, we received a free appetizer (coupon previously received by email), all you want salad or soup and bread, tasty food, we just could finished all the food we got but saved it for home, was to delicious to leave it behind... we recommend this place first because of the service (congrats to this branch for Miriam, our waitress) and for the best Italian food we've ever tasted.

we walk down here most sunday mornings, about 1.5 miles from our house. Well worth it. It can get a little crowded but worth the wait Get there before 8am on sunday and its not a problem.

I went with some friends during my stay for some days at San Diego, was so close to the Hotel Circle were we were staying. Excellent Food and Excellent service! I recommended!

Dined at the Olive Garden with my family and I have to say that the service was top notch. There was no wait when we walked in around 2 p.m. The server came up to us right away and introduced himself (said he was the bartender and server too). Great guy with a great personality. Took our order right away as we were pretty hungry. Started off with their famous bread then some soup/salad combo, and chicken fettuccine as my main dish, kids enjoyed their kids meals. The food came out fresh. The food and service were perfect at this Olive Garden. Nice clean location. There is plenty of parking at this location as well. Happy Dining!

Exactly what you expect when you go to an Olive Garden. Food was decent. Great unlimited salad. And I must add that our server was excellent!

We've been to several Olive Garden restaurants over the years; this was not one of our better experiences. The restaurant seemed old, a bit run down, and possibly even a little dirty. We have grown accustomed to clean and well maintained restaurants. Upon that we ended up with a dish that we did not want (this may have been our fault since the dish had a name similar to the one we wanted and could have ordered the wrong one); however, it was disappointing and seemed very dry and again not the quality of dish we have grown accustomed to eating at Olive Garden restaurants.

On arrival a senior staff member held the front door open for one member of our party who has walking difficulties - fantastic. Food was a reminder of previous Olive Garden experiences - excellent. Service was efficient. Would go again.

Had the Braised beef chianti with the recommended wine. Excellent!

We’ve visited a branch of Olive Garden in Orlando when we’ve been there on vacation for years. We’ve never been disappointed and neither have friends and family we’ve taken there. Great news, this restaurant was every bit as good. We called in for lunch after a bit of shopping and were well impressed with the service, which was prompt and friendly without being pushy. The food was delicious, great soup and salad followed by entrees which had a generous chicken/shrimp to pasta ratio. To sum up. Nice location, great staff and delicious food.

We walked here from our hotel nearby. Although other half isn't too keen on Italian, I persuaded him and it turned out very well, he really enjoyed his meal. There was a short wait so we had a couple of beers at the bar, including a nice chat with a local couple. The dinner was great - we ordered a chicken entree and a lasagne, with the traditional huge salad bowl to get us started. Our server was very friendly. A very nice dinner.

The food was good and up to Olive Garden standards. The dining room was a little worn, chair coverings were stained from people grabbing them.
