Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Olive Garden is a restaurant that has quality food and a great customer experience. Olive Garden has good options, great free bread sticks and salad, and they even had a deal going where you could pay 5 dollars and get a take home meal, which I did. I got the chicken Alfredo and I loved it. The creamy sauce and the perfectly cooked chicken was a delight to my mouth. Olive Garden has a huge selection of deserts, but I ended up going with the zeppoli. That desert is these little breaded cakes (six of them) that are covered in powdered sugar and you dip them in either chocolate sauce or raspberry sauce, or both. Also a very nice experience. Overall an amazing restaurant.

Lunch rush, with a wait for a table... I was dining alone so I went to the bar to eat.
Even with as busy as the bar tender was he took good care of me. He, which I cannot even begin to try to spell his name, was prompt and on spot with drinks and refills of bread and soup. He treated me as if I was his only customer, even though I clearly wasn't, which is uncommon to get at most places when dining alone because smaller bill usually means smaller tip. It is very appreciated and this man has a good future in customer service.
When I am in the area again, I would definitely be back because of him.

We mentioned we were celebrating my husband's birthday just in passing bcuz we had the best waitress ever. We had just gotten me sneakers for the MS walk the following Sat and decided to stop. The waitress who told me her name, I'm just bad at remembering (thanks MS), brought him this delicious chocolate mousse with happy birthday on the plate. That made his night a little more special and I appreciated that!

Olive Garden is one of the better chain Italian restaurants in my opinion. They always have a good variety of menu items and periodically introduce specials. They also have a decent wine selections. They can often get crowded though during peak times so be prepared to wait during those times.
