Great service! It was so much more than I was expecting from an Olive Garden at 7:00 on a Friday night. We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated and our server was great! Very friendly but not the "Hi, I want a big tip so I'm going to overwhelm you with happiness" Great food, great service!
Review Source:We came to this restaurant on Saturday the 18 of august and it was the worst ever. We had to keep asking for everything and when the manager was told about the situation she just made excuses. Really bad service and I was disappointed because IlLove olive garden. O well time to find a new Italian place.
Review Source:We visit this location when we are out visiting Grandma from our Westminster home. Service in the past has been very good-on Sunday Aug 5th it was not.
We got here early, a bit before 5 pm and it took a reasonable 15 minutes to have our party of 5 seated.
Our server took our drink order-ice tea and cokes-but we're informed they were out of diet Coke. Wow that doesn't happen often. They did not have any other diet soft drinks available -so water was ordered by my daughter.
It took a good 15 minutes for the salad bowl to be brought to us. Usually it's about  5 minutes. It was a long wait and during this time did not see our server at other surrounding tables.
Food was good-never had a bad meal served at Olive Garden.
We ordered  one desert-took over 15 minutes for it to be brought to us-again untypical.
Lastly our bill was mixed up with another table, but it was caught by our server (or the other table that had just 2 in their party) and brought to our attention by her.
Our server was probably new and if she was, she will get better with experience.
At the Westminster location where we usually go, the Manager usually comes around the tables and asks how the food and service was. Didn't happen tonight at the Aurora location as we were there for almost 1.5 hours and so folks coming and going during this time. Mgmt should incorporate this at this store..
We've had take out from here before that's been good. Â Tonight's dinner was NOT anything stellar. Â Out of 5-7 Olive Gardens I've been to, this one was the bottom of the list. Â
We did the 2 for 25$ deal. Â Our two appetizers were Fried Zucchini and the Beef & Pork Ravioli. Â For our entrees we had the new Smoked Mozzarella Chicken and Fettuccine Alfredo. Â We also had the spicy potato soup. Â
First off, our waitress was slow. Â Ok, no problem usually. Â Sometimes they're busy and just can't get to us quickly. Â We order our drinks, peach tea and coke. Â My coke is watered down and barely fizzy. Â I realize sometimes restaurants will turn down the syrup to save a little cost. Â They really over did it. Â My fiancee ordered a peach tea. Â Unfortunately, the peach tea came without peach. Â Regular ice tea is fine, but if you order something, its always better if you get it.
So, with our meal we got 2 appetizers. Â Ours came on a big plate to share. Â The Fried Zuch was great. Â It was probably the 2nd best part of the whole meal. Â The ravoli was really hard and tough around the outside edges. Â It seemed like it was microwaved from frozen. Â We were both really unimpressed. Â The marinara that came with the appetizers was good. Â
The soup was good as always. Â So were the breadsticks.
We waited quite a while for our entrees to arrive. Â I figured I'd get a refill on my coke at least sometime in between. Â I had to wait at least 15 minutes from empty until I got a new drink. Â Ok, 15 minutes isn't that big of a deal, but it is if she walks by three times. Â
Thankfully, the entrees were hot. Â Neither of us was very impressed without meal, but they were edible. Â The chicken in my Smoked Mozzarella Chicken was actually really good, but there were like 4 small pieces on the whole plate. Â There wasn't even half a chicken breast's worth on the plate. Â
We noticed the couple across from us ask for their bill and have to wait at least 10 minutes, so we had our card ready to pay. Â It still took quite a while to get our bill and get it all paid for. Â
Nothing about the meal stood out to us nor gave us any reason whatsoever to come back. Â And, with so many options out there, I doubt we'll be back until we forget this well below average experience. Â Overall, the only think I can say is... Meh, I've experienced A LOT better.
I recently ate here with a large group - about 15 of us. Â
They waited on us pretty quickly and also brought out the salads and bread sticks right away. Â Food was served hot within 15 minutes. But mine (chicken Parm) was overcooked and there was not enough red sauce. Â
Others with us were generally positive about the meal, although a few people didn't care for their seafood dishes.
Overall it was a pretty typical experience for Olive Garden - 3 stars,
I don't think Olive Garden is as odious as everyone else does. I might have a slight bias because when I was young (like 19), I lived in a town that didn't have anything like an Olive Garden and I started dating a guy who took me to big cities like Tulsa, Ok and Dallas, Tx and treated me to fancy dinners at places like The Olive Garden and The Macaroni Grill. (when you are from the south, like me, you add "the" to everything.) Also, I usually only eat one thing there - soup, salad, and breadsticks. Their soup, salad, and breadsticks is pretty darn tasty. I honestly don't know anyone that doesn't like their salad. Some of their other stuff is decent too, like their spaghetti. I think it's when you get into their more complex menu items that things start going downhill. Their very basic menu items are pretty tasty.
This Olive Garden is pretty typical. The service isn't very good. The last time we were there the server had the personality of a potted plant. He was also very slow. Still, The Olive Garden is a place I wil no doubt return many, many times.
My girlfriend recently received a gift card to the Olive Garden from an out-of-town relative. And although an easy, and somewhat "stock" birthday present, we were thrilled, none-the-less, to get a free meal! As the old, "Big Country" hit goes, "I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert," such was our attitude of dining at such a seemingly blase' corporate Italian restaurant. In fact, the last experience we had at a similar type of restaurant (who's name is a particular elbow shaped variety of pasta, followed by the word, "Grill") was not so good. I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything turned out for us at the Olive Garden. We were greeted and sat right away. The hostess said something to the extent of, "Welcome to the Olive Garden, I really hope you have an amazing lunch today." Kind of a mundane detail, I know, but she really seemed genuinely sincere. We ordered a large bottle of San Pellegrino, and quietly chuckled when the server repeated and mispronounced the product as "pennegrino." It was really more cute then anything. Anyways, the rest of the meal was delivered hot, and in a timely fashion. We never felt rushed, nor were we ever left hungry, and longing for the next course. We always had everything we needed, and nothing that we didn't need. The server was a little in-the-weeds, but did a great job at managing our table. Several different employees dropped by to either refill our water, clear, run our food, or just check in to make sure everything was good. The food was just as we had hoped for it to be. Nothing totally amazing, and I didn't call my parents about it, but it hit the spot, and it was definitely tasty. We both left full and happy. For what they're trying to do as a restaurant, we honestly had no complaints.
Review Source:well if you have been here before then you know how it is. We all love the breadsticks!! So with that keep brining them out and pay more attention to us. It wasnt busy but it was like a lack of attention maybe it was a new waiter or something. Will I go back sure I'll give it another shot just hoping for better service and more breadsticks
Review Source:I love Olive Garden! Every time I visit it's a pretty good experience! Usually the waiters and waitresses are kind and the food always comes out warm and delicious. This time though, it was a little bit different. I went out for dinner last night with my family to this Olive Garden, this is the Olive Garden we usually go to and I love it always. We came around 5:30 ish and it was pretty crowded because it was a Saturday and it was dinner time. We only waited about 15 minutes so nothing to complain about there. We were seated at a pretty good place and the waitress was very kind. The problem started when the food came in though.
When the food came in the portions were definitely smaller. I also noticed on the menu that the prices went up, probably about 2-3 dollars more, that made me angry. But I guess it's the economy messing the restaurant businesses up. We got out appetizers, which were the calamari and the mussels. The calamaris came in a smaller portion than usual, the mussel were okay, but some of them were closed and we asked if they can replace the mussels with a new set. So we get the new set of mussels and they were cold and disguising..I was pretty pissed at that point. I ordered the grilled shrimp caprassi, my sis got an alfredo, and the others got something else. The actual meals came in great portions so I was happy about that. Overall it was an okay experience.
Well what do you say about an Olive Garden besides its like every other Olive Garden I have been to.
The salad and soup are probably my favorite things at Olive Garden.
House wine is just alright for the price, food is always pretty good for the price. Â Nothing exceptional, but always predictable. Â I guess predictability is kinda good because you pretty much always know what to expect.
Just three stars because I only go here if someone in my family wants to, its never a request by me.
Typical Oilve Garden. Â We arrived and were seated immediately. Â The bread and salad were good, as usual. Â I started with the mussels and ended with the Herb Grilled Salmon. Â The salmon was well cooked and had a great taste to it. Â
The service was not as great as the meal. Â They need to work on that.
When my son chose Olive Garden for his birthday dinner I was surprised but pleased he didn't choose Del Fresco's again this year. Dinner was good. The bottomless salad was just as I remembered it. I had Eggplant Parmesan. It too was good. Lightly breaded unlike some I've had. Everyone else enjoyed their meal too. All in all, a very nice meal for a reasonable price.
Review Source:we come here for lunch because its so close to work and i LOVE their free bread and mint chocolates. their endless bread, soup, salad is great for lunch and cheap too! but im always afraid that i might not get full from just that.
i have tried almost every dish on their menu and each time, i wonder why i ordered it. the food is very mediocre. there is either too much sauce or it is too dry. the food is just consistently just okay. i never go away with the feeling that wow that dish was good. but if youre having that pasta craving and need a place that can hold a big group and is fast, i guess this is the place to go. but i can do without.
their service here is quite good and i have no complaints. but the food doesn't really satisfy me.
They do cater to fish allergies!
So I ordered the steak gargonzola and it was terrific. Â I can't complain at all about the food. Â So why only 3 star rating? Â The answer is simply a combination of having to wait so long for a seat (not a big issue) but the service was TERRIBLE!!! Â The guy's name is Victor. Â He is a foreigner that for some reason has no manners whatsoever. Â He would walk away while we were talking to him and at the end of our meal he even grabbed the credit card right out of our hands (LITERALLY) before we even put it in the little book they provided. Â He watched over us as we wrote in the tip and as he walked away he was already opening the book and looking how much we left him. Â Once he was gone, I never got another refill or checked on (we were there only an extra 5 minutes, but still!! Â I will return, but request that I do not get Victor again.
I have been here a few times and I can't really think of a negative thing to say. Who doesn't love some good food, friendly atmosphere, and a good time?
I always come here with my family for dinner. It is packed mostly during the hours of 6-8, so you might have to wait a while before you get a table. It's worth it, though. The waiters are usually attentive and friendly. I asked for no ice in my drink, and when my waiter realized they had made a mistake, they immediately took my drink back and got me another one with no ice. They take care in making sure everything is how you want it.
I can see why it's always full. The prices are fair, and food is great.
Long live Olive Garden!
I visited this location with 4 other people. Â Although we waited about 1/2 hour for our table, when we were seated, we were approached by our waitperson, Jennifer. Â Jennifer was very attentive to all of us, even though the restaurant was packed.
We asked about items on the menu and Jennifer explained the meal to us. Â I asked for no tomatoes on my meal, Jennifer made sure that there weren't any! YAY!
I rated this restaurant overall with 4 stars because it's a chain. Â I rate Jennifer with 10 stars!
I've been here a few times with my roommate and I've never been disappointed. It's Olive Garden so it won't be the best Italian food you've ever had, but for it's price and popularity, it's OK. For the most part, it's ALWAYS full. I've been here at their peak time and waited about 20 minutes for a table, and I've also been here a half hour before closing and I had to wait 10 minutes. I live about two blocks away from this place and I drive by all day long and the parking for this place is always hectic. As for the food and the waiting staff, it's ok. This is the kind of place where you won't be disappointed, but you won't be "wow-ed" either.
