Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

This is my first poor google review, as I’m someone that likes to give people the benefit of the doubt. However, I had such a terrible experience that I need to share.

The person who called our party and was walking our party to our section to sit down suddenly disappeared and we were all wondering where we were suppose to sit and found a random server and confirmed that was t
