Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

July 13, 2013, Just ate at OLIVE GARDEN Laguna Hills CA. OMG what garbage!
I love baked ziti so that is what I ordered.  It was the worse baked ziti that I have ever ate.  Plus I had to pay the highest price I've ever paid for baked ziti.  Oh there was all the bread and salad that came with it, but the bread sticks/garlic stuff has got to go along with the salty salad with the couple of olive and tomatoes and lots of onions.  I can tell you now I will probably never eat at an OLIVE GARDEN again.  I don't know what happened to their pricing, which I don't mind if the food is eatable, but this stuff was garbage like I said.  We were a good size party and most of us will not eat at that joint again.
Thanks

I want to like Olive Garden, but this was a wretched meal. We got seated right away, which is nice. The restaurant was crowded and kinda noisy, but the two go hand-in-hand. Our server was good. She took care of us ok, and I wouldn't change jobs with her for anything. But the food...not great. I had breaded tilapia with angel hair pasta and red sauce. As a whole, the meal was very bland, even flavorless, but I imagine the kitchen caters to their predominant crowd of seniors from nearby Leisure World. The breading on the tilapia wasn't even completely cooked; it was still white, and gave the impression of eating tilapia on toast, which was not really what I wanted to pay money for. The fish was done perfectly, but the uncooked breading stole the flavor spotlight away from the fish. The meal came to $38, which was really a lot a lot A LOT more than I think it was worth. The best part was the salad, but really how can you go wrong with iceberg lettuce, olive oil, vinegar, and italian seasoning?

We are treated very well each time we come to the Olive Garden.  Food is delicious if you know what to order.  No bad at all for a chain restaurant.   All you can eat soup, we even tried all 4 flavors.
