I am not one to go leaving reviews, but this experience must be shared. I visited Olive Garden with my mom and son today at opening, 11am. Our drinks didn’t come before or with our salad which was fine. When the salad came we realized there was a hair in it as we distributed across the table. We asked for a new salad. No apologies on the hair. Moved on. The waitress kept picking my sons sippy cup by the mouth of the cup instead if the body which was gross in itself, but I didn’t say anything. When my sons macaroni kids meal came, it arrived with French fries instead of broccoli. Eventually the manager brought us the broccoli and told us to to be careful it was fresh out of the microwave so it was hot. The service was already bad at this point, but continued to get worse. As we’re checking out on the tablet provided at the table and also finishing our meal, I find TWO more hairs in his kids meal macaroni. These hairs were deep inside the food. Not on top.

She ordered margarita chicken and wanted to add just some noodles for the chicken. She was given noodles with meat sauce on the side. She informs the server and she says “why can’t you just put the noodles in the chicken yourself”!! First of all she was given the wrong thing and second why the rudeness? We keep on eating our food without o
