Went to this Olive Garden for lunch. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Got seated and was told our waiter would be with us shortly. Waited over 5 minutes and then they brought another couple in and sat them next to us. About 5 minutes later, a waiter arrived and took the other couple’s drink order. Waited another 5 minutes or so and their waiter came back and gave them their drinks. Their waiter then proceeded to take their food order – took it and left. We just sat there. No one even looked in our direction. Waited another 5 minutes and saw many of the Olive Garden staff walking back and forth – but, could not get anyone’s attention and not a one of them would look in our direction. So, we left. Now, we understand why it was so empty – they don’t want to serve anyone. After that, I would hate to see the state of the food.

Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant.. In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.
