I dont see why many of you complain about Olive Garden. The thing is, you need to avoid the locations where nobody is in the restaurant. That usually means a poorly staffed location. In places like Torrance or San Diego, Olive Garden restaurants are located within and close to many corporate offices, so the flow of customers pushes the chefs to cook better- GO TO THE CROWDED LOCATIONS. Also, the breadsticks are tasty, but try to focus on their pastas and meat/seafood dishes. Unfortunately, all Olive Gardens will be a little heavy on the wallet. Good thing they charge less for kids.

I highly recommend this place if you want really great Italian food I have been here for my birthday as well as celebrating other things. Their Lasagna and spaghetti is great as well as their salad and breadsticks and everything else. So if you want a great experience having some great Italian food this place is the one to definitely come to. Also the service is real good too they make sure you are happy with what you got as well as making sure you have plenty. Thank you Olive Garden for a wonderful experience in great food and service.

I don’t come to Olive Garden that often and if I do that usually means I received a gift card. They don’t take reservations on weekends (at least for only 2 people) so be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour for a table no matter what time you come. This makes no sense since the restaurant is not that small and it never seems like that many people come here. At least the bar is right there but don’t expect to sit down at the bar because people usually just eat their dinner there if they are lucky enough to snag a stool.

When I came in to check in, they took down how many ppl and my name 20 minutes later I asked if I have missed my name being called but in reality they didnt take down my name even everyone had gotten called even the people that came after me..... Thats really upsetting, I love Olive Gardens but not this one.... The garden and the view outside is really nice, but I dont think Ill come back here.... Not this one.... And by the way out waiter Ismael took too long in helping us out.....

Foods good, typical olive garden inside--- DONT LEAVE ANYTHING ON YOUR TABLE!!!!!!!!!! Things have a habit of disappearing at this place. Left my phone called back the next morning and nothing was turned in, and I was given the response "well these things happen." I will never go back to this location. I understand that theft happens but management standing behind their employees and basically telling me good luck with getting it back burns me.

The food, here, is divine. Magnificent service! The workers, here, are very punctual with bringing your food. It is wonderful here. I liked the waiter I had. He looks like Dave Franco from "Now You See Me". This waiter is very kind and made my time here wonderful. Its a pleasure to have that waiter! Thank you Olive Garden! (I dont have any pictures because me and my family ate the food and I forgot to take a picture.... my bad)

Had my family of 12 waiting for an hour and a half for a table that they said the party was leaving when we got there. Manager said he had big parties in different tables too but was quiet when I asked him that if he knew that then why did they make us wait. Very bad management and this restaurant does not value the customers concerns. Will spread the word to all my contacts about how olive garden handles families.

It was awesome. My fam came to hang out and i know your not technically allowed ti get on the rocks and climb and play around. But the workers never stopped us. And we went all the way around. But the service was slow. But the food was great. And our server was so nice. He was incredible. Very talkative in a good way not like to much but amazing. And he has a good sense of humor. Overall it was great

Service was slow. She brought the salad and gave my friends the parmesan cheese and walked away without giving me the option of cheese too. I wanted cheese more than my friends. Then she disappeared and I wanted more water. Didnt get more water until the end of our meal. Then my check came. I was charged for games I didnt play. My money was returned but at the cost of my time. Ugh!!

Nice casual dining in a friendly family atmosphere. This location is popular with long waiting for tables during peak hours. Service isnt always consistent but its pleasurable for the most part. The food is decent if you dont come in with the notion that its fine dining. Love those bread sticks and salad. Plenty of parking out front especially to the right side.

Server was great! Food was just ok, bottom of lasagna was a little burnt. Waited almost 10 minutes for our basic house salad, then our dinner arrived almost immediately afterwards, I probably had only one or two bites of salad before our main course was served. Breadsticks were hard and stale. We ended up eating our entee first, then the salad.

This restaurant is located in a small strip mall and looks relatively simple from the outside. Once you step inside you will be pleasantly surprised. You get a feeling of old world Italy from the table decor to the paintings on the walls. The menu is extensive with a wide variety of choices, all at a reasonable price.

Long story short, the food was terrible and overpriced for the quality, it took almost an hour to get our entrees, and our waiter, although not rude, seemed disinterested and slow (as in getting getting back to our table in a timely matter, not mental capacity). I will not be going back, unless I am forced too.

The building looked unassuming from the outside. Once inside, the decor is both unexpectedly classy and intimate. The tables were close together but still comfortable.The food was excellent. The service leaves nothing to be desired. I liked the steamed salmon dish best. The chocolate dessert was to die for.

A few friends from work and I went for lunch today. All you can eat pasta, bread sticks and salad.. Great food and our server Adriana (sorry if i spelled that wrong) was great. She had a great personality and even laughed at my bad jokes. 5 starts to her and to Olive Garden. We will be back for sure

Food is decent, Service is okay. Service was great until the entrees came around, after that its like the waitresses just abandoned our table. The manager had to wait the tables thats how neglected our table was. I feel sorry for the manager basically has to work as an extra waiter

This chain restaurant has great Italian food. Who doesnt like unlimited breadsticks and salad options. They give out Trials of wines that are popular at the time. The place is well kept up and the service is great. The prices are what you would expect for an Italian restaurant
