Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Great food, great service. No complaints here. I noticed that there were alot of little children at the resturant. It was cute to see them look around and smile at everyone. Looks like this is a good place to bring children as well as a date!

The seafood mushrooms were gross!!!!! I feel they are going downhill...the soup isn't as good anymore. Staff are more worried about chatting amongst themselves..

I don’t usually go to Olive Gardens but on this particular business trip, I found one in Waterford and decided to give it a try. It’s a really beautiful place that mimics a local street in Italy. The food is actually pretty good! The portions were just about right without but being too much or too little. Service came with a smile and the evening ended with a really enjoyable dinner as I imagined myself dining, in the streets of Calabria.

It is only at this specific location, Waterford, CT that I just don't have good experiences. Olive Garden as a whole is solid for what it is.

But the past 2 times at this location, I've gone in during lunch and sat at the bar. I had the same bartender both times. She is not mean but she is not attentive at all. She didn't leave a straw for my drink, she didn't offer cheese for the pasta and once you receive your meal, she disappears and doesn't check in to see if you want anything else which you typically do when you order unlimited soup and salad.

I will continue going to Olive Garden but I will likely be avoiding this particular location in the future.

Debbie, our server was excellent! She made us feel like family and treats us with perfect service every time. She is a real gem and anyone who goes to this establishment is lucky if they are sat in her section. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. We come back at least a few times a month just to have dinner with her!
