OK, Ill try to make this short and to the point. To start, I came in about 30 min before the close of their store, so that was my mistake. However, each part of our experience their was pretty terrible and Ill go through it step by step. Hopefully someone that manages the place sees this and decides to make changes. 1) The bread must have been sitting under a heat lamp for ages. It was rock hard. 2) The soup tasted like it was scooped out of the bottle of the barrel. Sense Its all supposed to be fresh made, we shouldnt get left over "scraps". My girlfriends was unbelievably salty. Her and my friend got 2 different soups and all three were terrible, mine made me physically ill for the next hour. 3) This one might be the worst one... The waiter, which I wont name because he seemed like a really nice guy, and this was an honest accident, handed a bull that was so hot that she nearly screamed and dropped it on the table after a second. The waiter realized his mistake and apologized profusely. Again, an honest mistake, but bad. 4) The dishes brought out didnt have all the previous food cleaned off. There were other small craticisams I had after working in a restrant for a while, but everything else was alright. As far as the "pros", the decor was good, and the server was nice.

Работают молодые официанты, вежливые и приветливые, внимательные к посетителям! Хлебные палочки хорошо пропеклись, в отличие от Ванкуверских заведений сети. Выбор блюд достаточный, столики гораздо удобнее, нам повезло, освободились мягкие диванчики! Супы и сезонные салатики - бесплатны, как и хлеб! Можно взять to go! Очень удобен способ оплаты не выходя из-за стола, хорошо придумано! Имеется терраса, предварительной брони нет! Приходиться ожидать, в последний раз, вечер пятницы, время ожидания составило около 5 минут:)

My boyfriend and I went tonight, a Friday night, it was around 5:15 when we arrived. Ir was a packed house people were waiting to in the entryway...we opted to wait in the bar. There was a staff member behind the bar...he was talking to some people waiting our in the entry about getting together privately for an evening. Folks waiting in the bar were getting agrivated, be wise it appeared that the staff member/ server was ignoring customers. It wasnt until my boyfriend asked if we could order, that he said he was off the clock but he would make our drinks. A couple became so angry that they hadn t been served that they got up and left. The woman that was working the bar was running around doing her best to keep up. Fortunatly, we ended up with an amazing server Jesse...who turned the negative start to the evening around. She was a complete joy, peofessional, with a great personality. I would highly recommend phoning ahead and requesting her for your server, you wont be sorry!

Went to the mall 205 location for hubby birthday in march.two groups of people who came in behind us were seated right away while we stood there holding our baby.after about 15 minutes hubby finally asked why and the host didnt know and had to ask the waiters what they were doing.the host was a nice young man.about 5 minutes later we were seated at a booth .funny wed been told there were none and told them upon arrival that a table was fine.he ordered the steak and I ordered the endless salad soup and pasta.our drinks did not show up so we settled for water and decided to just eat.no refills were offered or brought even though thats the meal I ordered.it was pretty awful.the table if ladys behind us were getting refills on drinks soup salad bread and pasta every few minutes plus left with whole new meals in boxes so I was super frustrated. Wont go to that place again.pretty sure is was due to racism.

First hand racism ! I had came in with a group of my black family/friends and we had already made a reservation for 15. When we walked in we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated to our table even though we had already made a reservation. On top of that no only did we have to ask for drinks 3+ times we didnt get our water until we got our food which was almost an hour later after we were seated. Lastly while we were waiting for our food a white family had been seated and served their appetizers and drinks within minutes of being seated. The manager tried to help out with a discount but the service to customers should always be the same no matter what they look like

Never going here again. This location did not cook their chicken properly, or perhaps it was expired, but it tasted funky when I ate it. I only ate a few bites of chicken because of this, and then got food poisoning the next day. It lasted at least 72 hours, and those few days were possibly the worst in my life. I called to ask for a refund or at the very least an apology, and they said I was lying or it could have been something else I ate. Dont trust this place. Ill never eat at this or any Olive Garden location for the rest of my life. Reckless, disgraceful service and management.

I just called to ask how much something was for a group of people. Jessy responded with I think its $5.79 or something like that. I thanked her and told her I that I would call back when we all figure out what we wanted to order. She didnt say anything and just hung up. We decided to go somewhere else. Hospitable makes the difference Jessy. We end up going to Old Chicago and were treated like they wanted our service. P.S. Olive Gardens food is good, but there are many of them, Ill go where they treat us better.

So I get the bread stick itch probably once a year or every two so you could almost say I frequent the place although I dont think Ive been to the same one twice. To the point, this was the best experience Ive had at one yet. Shayne and John made the stay a real pleasure. Food was on par with olive garden standard which is good and satisfying, but the remarkable part of this visit was with the service. Shayne and John did a great job.

Almost every year on me and my gfs anniversary we either go to olive garden or Applebees. Both of these franchises are great every time we go. Waiters are quick and respectful. Even on busy nights we can expect a half hour wait at times but we get our food early. Only thing is on Valentines day or any holiday. It is quite a wait just to be seated but that is expected with good franchises. I will always be glad to eat here.

Worst service, a group of 8 on a non busy day. Manager and our server both attending the same table and forgetting about us. 50 minutes into service, no salad, no breadsticks. Tables arriving after us already receiving to go boxes. Our server Jason was the worst, he was very unorganized and was completely avoiding our table. I do not want to come back to this place. I dont want to come back here.

Uniformed police officer kicked out. Not into this new against our public servants. I carried eveytime I was there. I will never partake in the ok food again. Olive garden you are off my list. We need to stop this segregation of our nation with these ignorant citizens. Off my list sorry for upholding my and others rights. When someone decides to shoot up a franchise I wont send flowers.
