Great food and even better service make the experience at this particular Olive garden a great time! Excellent lunch and dinner options, with gluten free and vegetarian dishes available. Tasty appetizers and the always wonderful soup and salad combination are a standby for many. There is a great wine selection and the newly revamped bar add to this already outstanding restaurant! Personally speaking, I have lived in this area most of my life, and I still find myself returning here quite often for the quality food and service. I have been to many of the chain restaurants in the area (and there are a lot close by) but this Olive garden is the best around. If you stop in, be sure to try the stuffed mushrooms or the calamari for an appetizer. If youre looking for soup, the Zoppa Toscana is unbeatable in flavor. I personally cant go here without ordering that soup. For an entree suggestion, try the steak and gorgonzola Alfredo. I guarantee you wont finish the plate at the restaurant, but youll be wishing you had the room to! The servers here are knowledgeable of good wine pairings for your meal, so do ask what goes well with your meal, and youll surely be pointed in the right direction. The desserts are very good as well, but I rarely have room left over to eat any. Best italian dining around. Good job, olive garden!

Its Olive Garden, nothing wrong here except the wait! Food is always above average, but not amazing. Over the years the food portions have become smaller and smaller even though Italians have big "family" meals. The unlimited soup and salad is always a good option if you dont know what to get and at a fair price of about $7. Pasta doesnt taste like its fresh made but its not bad. The popular dishes they advertise are always pretty good but some things have a lot of salt on them. The chicken parm is really salty and Im not a fan. I would suggest asking them to not use so much salt on things with the tomato sauce. Staff is always super friendly and never had a bad expereince with them. Bathrooms are always clean. They do ask if you want wine with dinner but they dont push it upon you.

Only giving it 3 stars for my visit today. Our server introduced himself, asked our drinks then left. Came back right away with our drinks (water) and asked if we were ready. The "buy one take one" menu wasnt on the table so we asked for it. After a few minutes, ha came back and we placed our orders. He bought our salad out which was half full with no croutons. The bread was dry and he didnt give us plates for the bread. We had to ask another server for the plates. He comes by, we ask for more salad. This time, the salad had extra croutons in it and extra radishes. Once we received our food, it was someone else who served it who was very friendly. Our food was dry and our server wasnt all too friendly. Other than this day, we usually do not have c issues with this place.

First week in jersey and wanted to get some O.G. so went in with the family and there was about ten employees meeting at the bar, three waitresses, one waiter, and one hostess walked by and not one welcomed us or offered any assistance. We stood there for a little over ten minutes and decided to walk out. To top it off the place was slow and almost empty!! Now i know why!! I also called the manager to express my displeasure, needless to say it will be my last visit to the establishment!! Sucks too I love Olive garden.

The service in this location has been subpar lately but tonite it was beyond the worst. Our waitress was so inattentive. She left out entire meals on the table while we were in the restrooms, never really checked back on us afterwards, then finally just dropped boxes on the table and presented the check to us. The only thing about tonites meal that was good was the manager. He was very accommodating to the situation. I guess like they say "When youre here youre family" I guess the fine print states distant family.

Great Food, Poor Hostess and greeting staff ! We have been going to this chain for years now. We love the food. The 2 stars are for the poor customer service and the blank looks we got when we entered the restaurant even when we called ahead. The hostess on Sat. Jul 1st 7:00 pm maybe does not know the meaning of being a hostess and how to greet guests. The food was great and the waiter was courteous and professional as well. Great Food, Poor Hostess and greeting staff !

Waitress was lovely but food was awful. Pasta wasnt salted, overcooked and bland. Ssuch was over salted. Meatball we gross, kind of rubbery as if not real meat. Dont get rave over the salad and breadsticks... salad was drowning in dressing and breadsticka were undercooked. I was skeptical about OG in the first place but a friend said it changed and was good. Not good. Sorry OG.

Essen mässig bis ok (Nudeln ungesalzen). Service war bei uns eher demotiviert, dennoch angestrengt freundlich. War bisher einer der schlechteren OG den ich besucht habe.

Meu Deus, como eu amo esse lugar. A comida é maravilhosa, principalmente a salada que servem antes do prato principal, o atendimento também é espetacular.

I beg to differ with these comments this Olive Garden is wonderful! I have been going to this one since they opened 18 or so years ago and they are always wonderful, food is fantastic, and everyone is very cheerful. They always kept it very clean which is what I like the most! So if you are hungry this is the place to go!

Had my wedding catered from here amazing customer service from beginning till end. Food was great. Loved how it was fast, secured and labled properly for anyone to get to. This will be my number one place to keep in mind for our events. Thanks ladies...

Service is absolutely terrible. Walked out after waiting at a table for 20 minute without a server coming over. Host and server didnt seem phased when we walked out. Guessing this happens often at this Olive Garden? Dont come here if youre hungry.

Just go into Red Bank and hit up La Pastoria or Bueno Sera. Youll spend a similar amount and get real Italian. All Olive Garden has going for it is the salad, and you can buy the dressing in the grocery store now.

I had a good visit last time I was there. Service was great and food was delicious. I didnt get to eat my entire entree because I filled up on soup and bread sticks. But I did enjoy my entree the next day!

As soon as I walked into the door, this smell of the place was HORRIBLE. Me and my boyfriend didnt even want to eat there because the smell was too strong. But Olive Gardens food is always good though.
