Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Just to be clear, this five-star is for the server MacKenzie & great food. Not so the Hostess (1-star), who was to assigned us a booth requested, but lied instead. Also - kept us waiting almost 15mins when there was clearly no other queue in front of us, and there were plenty of tables/booths available. Kenzie was very professional, unflappable, courteous and ever smiling whenever she served our food. The appetisers & lunch entrees ordered came out hot & cooked just right, grated cheese on top was a generous touch (Romano, according to Kenzie). My minestrone soup was chockfull of ingredients & flavorful, the salad my dining guests had was crunchy & satisfying till the last leaf. We had no room for desserts, but my cappuccino was a bit deflated (it was left too long on counter & not served right away after being made), but it still tasted right. We had a couple of take-away specials which Kenzie packed carefully for it to sustain the few hours journey home.

Always liked the place. Want to come back here again periodically. Great food and awesome bread. The cheese might be a bit on the higher side since it takes some of the taste away. But overall great time. The waitress was amazing as well.

Shrimp scampi was fresh and well seasoned (I was worried the pasta might be too salty but it wasn’t). I got salad with the pasta and both portion sizes were surprisingly big. The garlic bread was freshly baked so that was nice too.
