Title: A Legendary Adventure at Olive Garden (Warning: For Thrill-Seekers Only!)
Review:
Oh boy, where do I even begin with my extraordinary journey at the Olive Garden next door? It was like stepping into a whole new universe of dining experiences. Brace yourselves, my fellow food enthusiasts, because this epic fiasco deserves a tale to be told!
As soon as I entered this culinary amusement park, I was greeted by a waitress with the speed of a sloth on vacation. Seriously, I'm surprised she didn't ask for my autograph in slow motion. But hold on to your appetites, because the real spectacle was yet to come!
Picture this: an enchanting scene where the brave waitress decides to show off her multitasking skills. While attempting to flirt with the dashing boys of the establishment, she forgot about delivering our coveted breadsticks. As we watched in awe, other waitresses swooped in like stealthy superheroes to save the day, delivering breadsticks to lucky customers. Unfortunately, our table was deserted in a tragic twist of fate.
Now, let's talk about my magical lemonade experience. Not only did I witness the waitress indulge in a finger-picking extravaganza (a true culinary performance!), but she also managed to misplace her basic arithmetic skills. Half a glass of lemonade, according to her extraordinary logic, requires a paid refill. Lo and behold, when my lemonade arrived, it came with a delightful surprise—an onion cameo appearance! Who needs lemonade to taste like lemons, am I right?
But wait, fellow adventurers, the thrill ride was far from over. The pizza, a star attraction on the menu, emerged from the kitchen as an edible representation of abstract art. Its half-cooked dough and creatively scattered toppings were a true masterpiece in the realm of "uncooked cuisine." And the salmon? Well, let's just say it had taken a wrong turn on its journey from the sea and ended up on my plate looking rather lost and unappetizing.
As I prepared to leave this culinary rollercoaster, the management had the audacity to ask about my experience. So, in the spirit of honesty, I shared that this was the epitome of Olive Garden's magnificence—a true masterpiece of mishaps. Their response? "Awesome, thank you!" I must admit, their tactful and considerate handling of my feedback left me absolutely speechless. Bravo, Olive Garden, bravo!
In conclusion, dear adventurers, if you seek a dining experience that will leave you astounded, bewildered, and questioning the very fabric of reality, then make your way to the Olive Garden here. It's a journey you won't soon forget—a thrilling odyssey filled with tooth-picking waitresses, half-full lemonades with bonus ingredients, misplaced breadsticks, artistically uncooked pizzas, and salmon that missed the mark. Bon appétit,...
Read moreMost of us have been to an Olive Garden at some point, so I'll try to keep this short.
My husband took me there tonight for mother's day as we have other plans tomorrow and it's an "easy" favorite of mine.
I ordered my normal: unlimited soup (Zuppa Toscana), salad and bread sticks. I was not unhappy with anything I had.
My husband got the "tour of Italy" and I'm not going to sugar coat this.... If they had served me that mess, for that price, I probably would have sent it back. The chicken parmesan was disgusting (he gave me a bite). The "sauce" tasted like crushed tomatoes straight from the can. The chicken was like a GFS chicken patty. The Alfredo looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. The lasagna was a crumbling pile... Luckily, he's a very simple person and was okay with it. (Although he did say he probably wouldn't get it again.) The bathroom needed attention which I did not point out to staff, as there were three staff members in the bathroom at the same time as me. To be fair, they were SLAMMED and probably just couldn't keep up. The toilet brush just chilling on the floor though... Ew. I will say, one staff member (cook?) washed her hands next to me, and let me tell you, she washed her hands like she was a heart surgeon. That woman SCRUBBED UP. Like under her (short) nails, up to the wrists, etc. That was very impressive. All the technical stuff: yes, it's wheelchair accessible. There's a huge parking lot (although it was almost full). Yes, it's child friendly. Would I return? Yes. But only for my staple. I'm not paying their ridiculous prices for the McDonald's of "Italian" food. I can, and do, cook much better dishes for much cheaper at home. When I go out, I expect something special. OG isn't it. That being said, the soup, salad, and bread sticks can't...
Read moreTerrible service. If I could give zero stars, I would. My mother and I went there with excitement and we were thoroughly disappointed in the service. When we got there the hostess took our name down and told us there was a wait of 5 minute and we next in line. Then, a couple minutes later party of 2 came in and she told the same thing, 5 minute wait. When the waitress came the hostess gave the waitress the ticket for the party who came in after us. I was disappointed because we were there first but I still waited quietly. Then another party of 3 came and the same thing happen, the hostess gave the waitress the ticket for the other party that came in after we did and they took them to be seated. I was not mad or angry, because mistakes happen and we still waited patiently. Then, the exact same thing happened again and I saw with my own eyes how the hostess put our ticket to the side and gave the waitress the ticket for another couple who came in 15 minute after we did. This time, i stood and express my disappointment and frustration becuase i felt we were treated unfairly because of our race and we left the restaurant. I have never experienced such blatant disregard and disrespect because of my race. I understand mistake happen, but not 3 times in a row. Also the waiting area was empty and was only us and who else came after us, so there is no way this was not done on purpose 3 times in a row. All the individuals who came in after me and were served before me were all Caucasian, and we African American. I am completely disappointed in how we were treated and we will not return this Olive...
