Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Hubby and I ate at Olive Garden after church. It is wheelchair friendly for the most part. The food is delicious. Our waiter, Matthew, was great. It was fairly busy when we arrived around 1:00.

It's New Year's Day and every restaurant we drove by on the way to Olive Garden was packed, and the Olive Garden was no exception. We signed in and were told to expect a wait of 20 - 25 minutes. My wife looked down at the pager they handed me and it had an ad on the front that said half-price wine at the bar while we wa
