Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Very expensive! 3 adults and 1 child. Before tip, over $90.00. We did NOT even have alcohol. Our waiter wasn't horrible, but not the best. We had to ask for refills on drinks, to go boxes, we were never brought additional bread sticks, and we had to request for the Andes mints before we left... My daughter and I love them! Overall, food was okay.

Very good food. While it looked extremely busy, do not let it fool you, most were large parties and there was plenty of small part seating. Our wait time was told to be 15 mins. We were seated within 5 mins. Server very attentive. But not pushy

Flavorful food, descent service, and okay options. If you are dairy or meat free there are no $5 take home options provided. They have 3 premade options that all include meats or cheeses.

If you avoid meat and dairy, you still have a few options. The pasta and marinara combinations have a nice flavor, bread sticks are yummy, and the minestrone soup is flavorful.

The seafood stuffed mushroom appetizer comes garnished with a lemon, mine did not. And I appreciate the lemon.
My date got his strawberry margarita before I got my glass of wine. Why? We ordered at the same time. The bartender had to MAKE his drink. While I had to wait the speed of sunlight to travel to earth.
The cupcake red velvet wine does not taste how it sounds, but it is a fabulous red.
My first round of endless chicken gnocchi soup was missing the dumplings. I prefer one in each bite. I ordered 5 rounds until I was satisfied.
We said nothing; complained about nothing and the food gods blessed us with another glass of wine and dessert on the house.

Good food. But the quality does not justify the price. I think Olive Garden has gotten to be to big of a chain. When all you do is pasta then it should be better. $20 plates here are not worth it. Unfortunately there aren't many choices for good Italian food in SA. Just my humble opinion.
