Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

"I haven’t been to Olive Garden in quite sometime so I decided to go today. I ordered a take out order and was highly disappointed about the quality of the food. The lasagne fritters were over cooked and the noodles to my main dish were over cooked as well. The main dish lacked flavors and tasted bland. $40. Down the drain. In all fairness, I’ve found that the quality of meals at the majority of restaurants have not been the same since the pandemic. I’ve learned to stay home and cook my own meals. This will be the last time I waste my hard earned money on any restaurants."

"My family took me out to the OG for my 50th birthday. My brother made a 6:15pm reservation for 10 people. Being it was a Tuesday, the restaurant was not very busy but we still waited until almost 7pm to be seated. After that, it took about 10 minutes or so for our two waitresses to show up. Neither offered to take drink orders, just asked if we were ready to order food. Since we were splitting the bill, they asked if they could take our orders by how we were splitting the bill. Weird but ok. Once everything was ordered, we sat and waited for about 15 minutes or so before they came out with one of two appetizers that we ordered. And about another 5 minute later out came salad, followed by soup. When asked if we needed anything, we told them drinks (we all ordered them with our meal orders). About 5 minutes after they brought the drinks along with 3 waters, which was good for me as my drink was apparently not ready (at the empty bar). The waitress made an excuse about the drinks not being ready. Finally the main meals were served to everyone else (I had my soup and salad for a while by then). My daughter had ordered a medium rare sirloin. She received what looked like a flat burger patty that was cooked until grey (no where near medium rare). When a waitress finally came with our missing appetizer and drink (after I had asked if they were coming and she stated that the appetizer - spinach dip - always took long to come out) I told her the steak was bad so she had it comped. Once we were done eating (and by this point ready to go) the waitresses brought out the cake my brother got me and sang. I then had to ask for a knife and proceeded to cut and serve the cake to my family. We ended up leaving close to 9pm, all of us thirsty the waitresses disappeared and we were never asked about refills or coffee with the cake. I enjoyed the time with my family - The restaurant, however, was a big disappointment. And with two servers, you would think the service would have been so much better. I do want to also note that this was my first time back there since a horrible mother's day experience I had a year ago ago in which our table was completely forgotten after being served drinks. Spoke with a manager and still never got food. We ended up leaving and going to Chick-Fil-A to eat. So, I'm definitely never going here again!"

"We really loved going to this restaurant before the movies. The food was good and we were surprised by the service team, they were super professional and catered to our every need, no hunting anyone down for anything. It was a wonderful experience. Especially good place for a family dinner with the kids."

"Our waitress was kind, and the associated staff were pleasant. Good atmosphere, could do a better job dusting plants near tables (seeing dust built up is not appetizing) lol"

"Service was outstanding. The location was clean and nice looking. Went off peak time around 4 to 5 pm on a Saturday. I had minestrone soup and my daughter had salad. We also had calamari for our appetizer. The Calamari was the best I had in all of the new Haven area including supposed sea food places. My Entree was a 6 ounce steak. The meat was good but I asked for medium and I got medium well borderline well. I would go again. The bathroom was clean and serviced."
