First of all, I came during happy hour. It was packed. I got the last parking spot that was half on a curb because the car next to it was greedy. So. Scene set for capacity maxed.
I was sat immediately, no line. My server basically was following the hostess and ready to take my order before I was fully in my chair. I got the never ending bowl happy hour special. Unlimited soup, unlimited salad, unlimited breadsticks, unlimited pasta and a flavored tea.
YALL. I am not lying.
I had all my food in SIX MINUTES. SIX. The place is packed. The staff running around like chickens with their head cut off and I have fresh, hot, delicious food in front of me in a little over 5 minutes? K.
Then the bill came. $21. You guys. I pay more for lunch at McDonald’s and I’m going home with 5 boxes of fresh breadsticks, fresh soup, fresh spaghetti and fresh salad and an over stuffed stomach.
I mean what are we doing as a society eating anywhere else?
We had a great experience for a holiday-week dinner. Despite the 7:00 PM rush, our group of seven was seated in a semi-private room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. It felt like a cozy sunroom and was perfect for our group; having three kids with us, it was nice to be able to hold a conversation without competing with the main dining room noise. The only minor drawback was the temperature—it was a bit chilly in that glassed-in area—but honestly, I’d prefer that over a stuffy restaurant any day.
Our waiter was the highlight of the night. He was incredibly attentive and kept the “endless” salad and breadsticks flowing without us ever having to ask. Unlike some locations that ration the breadsticks based on head count, he kept the table well-stocked and even brought extra boxes for our leftovers at the end.
The only “tick” against the visit is the new-(ish?) corporate POS (Point of Sale) system. They use handheld wireless devices for payment now. While it’s meant for convenience, it made splitting the check for a large group a bit clunky and impersonal. I’ve seen some locations use these for ordering as well, and I worry that shifting the waiter’s job onto a tablet ultimately hurts the staff’s tips and the personal connection that makes dining out enjoyable. Including this one – the waiter was a highlight
Overall, the food was exactly what you want from Olive Garden, but the service is what really made the night.
Really fast service. I had barely started on my soup when the appetizers arrived. Then came our main course. Gabby was very attentive, always asking if we wanted more drinks, breadsticks, and such. Thanks!
And to think, we were going to go somewhere else, but it would have been more than an hour wait. At Olive Garden, we were seated immediately.
