My daughter and I went to the Olive Garden to eat before going to the AMC theater to see the new "Ghostbusters" movie (it was very good !!). We got entrees that came with the never ending Soup and Salad choices. As always, the salad was delicious, the bread sticks were warm, soft and lightly seasoned with garlic and were served with the marinara dipping sauce. My daughter ordered the fried, stuffed ravioli as an appetizer. It was pretty good but they were a bit hard for my liking. I couldn't really tell if the filling was good because of the toughness of the pasta. My daughter ordered the lasagna and she liked it. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was a little soft for my taste but was still delicious. I also had the Minestrone soup and it was the best thing I had to eat there that night. The reason for the 5 star rating was the amazing, attentive service we received from the entire staff from the host who seated us to the to the waiter who got our orders to us with a warm smile and friendly, short conversation every time to, last but certainly not least the Manager (I wish I had thought to write down everyone's names!). The manager made sure to stop by each and every table to make sure everything was going well and tasted good. The waiter and manager were both attentive enough to make us feel like we mattered to them as diners but not so attentive as to be intrusive. Perfect service...

Horrible experience - We ordered online 30 minutes ahead and arrived for pickup at the designated time. After 10 minutes we went in to ask about our food and they said it wasn't ready yet. We waited another 20 minutes and I went in again at which time the man at the front said before I could even ask about our food that I had to wait outside. When I explained to him that we had been waiting for 30 minutes in the pickup parking spot after the time the app said our food would be ready he told me ” waiting was your choice". First off, rude and insensitive. What other choice do I have when I've already paid and I have 4 adults and 3 kids waiting for a meal that cost me over $100? What was my other choice? To walk away and not ready and lose $100+ to boot? 15 minutes later we finally got our food, we left to go to our family to eat. When we got home the order was wrong, no salad dressing (ketchup was in the containers attached to the salad) and 7 French fries were in the order of fries... 7 only. Possibly the worst experience and least value of any meal I've ever had. I try to be understanding under these new Covid 19 realities but rude and and incompetent is what this was playing and simple. We will never patronize this place again. I'd love to speak with the general manager on...
