Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

So good!!! My second time in three weeks. Can’t complain about the food nor the service. A very friendly and attentive group of staff. Lawrence literally came to check on us every few mins. And got our orders in quick and accurately. Love it!!!

If it wasn't for the salad this would be a one star. Waiter was painfully slow. It took forever to get drinks and appetizer. He brought our calamari and salad within 1 minute of each other and our entrees literally like three minutes later. Only to make some dopey comment like the kitchen is fast tonight. I was too polite to tell him it wasn't fast he was slow on our drinks and apps ... The lasagna tasted like over microwaved stale cheese, the calamari had some awful dried spices and the chicken Parm was way overcooked. Funny, I was craving the salad cuz I don't think I've had one from Olive garden in 20 years. Here's the good news in 20 years and not going back because this dinner was so bad.

We decided to celebrate a birthday ???? here and it wasn't our original plan but it turned out nice. We had an amazing service by Carl who was a busser and learning how-to eventually become a server. Our original waiter disappeared on us and Carl jumped in to help make our experience memorable. We appreciate you Carl for clearing our table, refilling our beverages, and dipping Sauce and bread. Offering to bring to go boxes and drinks. It was appreciated and we wish you best in becoming a server. You will be successful for sure. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious ????. We did bring our own cake. They were kind enough to offer a cutting knife, forks, and plates to serve the cake. The wait staff came and sang the birthday song to our birthday ???? girl. Thank you for a lovely evening. Happy eating ????
