It’s Olive Garden. Definitely come for the unlimited soup & salad, but that is all I would suggest. We ordered four pasta dishes and 2/4 had over cooked pasta (borderline too mushy). 3/4 dishes were under seasoned, if anything just more salt. I can’t say my experience was bad, but if there is a next time I’d definitely stick to just the unlimited options. I had no real compliants about the soup/salad/bread sticks. I still think olive garden is a solid chain hence a solid 3 rating, its just not one I would frequent.

My partner wanted to try Olive Garden since he had never been before. I’m gluten free and wanted soup and salad, so I got the only gluten free soup, the Zappa Toscana, which was delicious but ratio of potatoes to soup was inconsistent.The server was great, but the reason it’s a 3 stars is because of the salad. I asked for croutons on the side to make the salad gluten free, and the first salad I received had croutons. I asked for a salad without them due to my allergy, and she took it back. When I received the next salad, there were 3 croutons hidden and crumbs on the salad like they just picked them off. I was a bit frustrated, but kindly asked for another salad since I cannot eat any wheat. The server offered to remake the salad herself so she could make sure it was safe for me. I appreciated our server throughout this but wish I didn’t have to feel like I was bothering the other staff by my requests.

Went on a Saturday evening for dinner and surprisingly we got the table within 10 mins .Both food and service was pretty goodIn general Olive garden should include more vegetarian options, they haven’t added anything new from past few years

We went here for lunch. The place is huge n usually busy. So reservation is recommended. The food tasted good. The salad n fruit juices were unlimited. But the service was very slow. Go there with a lot of time in hand!

The service was great. Im guessing our server was fairly young as another server had to bring us our adult drinks, but he was amazing with his attitude and service. Checked in on us enough to make sure we did not run out of anything, but not enough to feel like he was hovering at all. Really good balance.

Hayden was an amazing server! The food was amazing and the seating was great! It was an overall good experience! We did have to ask the person who sat us to move us to a better atmosphere!

Curbside Experience:Upon receiving the text with the link for Curbside.. I clicked on the link and it showed my order was picked up although I hadn’t picked it up yet. I called the restaurant just to be sure no one else received my order (while I was confused I was in no way rude and my tone was calm as I spoke to the person at the front/who answered the phone) she said “it does that, it will say the order is picked up even if it’s not” I had to ask then how will I let them know my Mom has arrived to have the order brought out? She said “just call us back” I said ok, thank you so much and she immediately hung up, zero acknowledgment..When my Mom arrived she called and the same woman brought the food out, she didn’t go over the order she just walked away immediately after my Mom thanked her, again no acknowledgment. On top of that I didn’t receive the amount of breadsticks promised with my order and my catering sized soup was leaking (my Mom said as she double checked my order) I opted not to call back to request the missing breadsticks as I refuse to deal with the extremely poor customer service. I rarely eat at Olive Garden and of course they did nothing to change my mind / I will not be dining or ordering any time soon per this experience. Understandably the woman who clearly wasn’t in the mood to work today deals with a lot of people but my Mom and I had the most minor of issue that was easily resolved and neither of us gave any pushback so I’m not sure why we deserved her attitude.. this just proved me right that I should not spend my money with this establishment. She may think that she’s insignificant but her Poor attitude can and did ruin the whole experienceSame day update: After opening my catering sized zuppa toscana, I noticed that it was just broth! No potatoes, no sausage, no kale literally just broth (I wish I was being dramatic) I had to drive there myself to get it replaced. The entire experience was extremely annoying

Who doesnt crave for Italian Food? Most of us are fond of simple and yet delicious Italian food for our soul. Being a vegetarian many a times, I have walked out of Italian restaurant thinking we can make better Pasta at home. I guess its mainly because of Indian flavors that burst in our mouth crave for something spicy and tangy. However, Italian food is on a simpler side yet packed with deliciousness. Olive Garden is one place, where I can thoroughly enjoy Italian flavors.Spinach Artichoke dip is my all time favorite. Followed by Fettuccie Alfredo, eggplant Parmigiana, Five Cheese Ziti Al forno

Update:Pros: Food was tasty and portions were large enoughCons: even though, five people in our group ordered the food that was supposed to come with never-ending salad, only one bowl of salad (same size that is usually served when I go with my husband) was served and it never got refilled!!!Food was just ok, but our server was so unfriendly that we didnt want to ask him anything!He was even hesitant to bring the unlimited salad and bread sticks . Our salad bowl was empty for a ling time but he didnt refill it.We asked for more bread sticks but it took forever for him to come back.

Staff was very welcoming. Service was fast. Excellent quality food, generous portions, with free bread sticks. Our server checked back several times to see if we wanted anything.

I came in on a Sunday night for dinner and had a good overall experience. It was a little warm inside but the service was fantastic. Our server was fast and friendly and very accommodating. His name was Darius. He customized my salad exactly the way I wanted it. Good customer service is hard to find so this was a refreshing experience. I will definitely be back! Thank you, Darius for your warm hospitality!

If I want a quick delicious lunch, Ill frequently go to the Olive Garden on Blossom Hill Road...Today was one of those days. I kept it simple and had the unlimited Soup and Salad! The salad was fresh and chilled but the real treat is the Zuppa Toscana...Tastes almost like Im in Florence!The service was fantastic too!

A nice place to eat once in a while but everything was covered in oil. The salad was drenched and the bread sticks had butter even the Shrimp and chicken carbonara had way too much oil. Other than the food being oily the staff was very friendly and service was great they walked by often to ask if we needed anything, even the manager came by to ask. Order something with red sauce it might turn out better.

Staff is super on top of things. We where sat and stuffing our faces with bread and salad before we could blink. The restaurant was quiet busy but or food came out quite fast. My mom requested a dish that was no longer available and the waiter made a effort, but at end the kitchen was unable to supply her request, but dont seem fare to knock the stars off for that. All in all it was a great experience

The food was very good, the salad could have been colder but Im sure we were there at the end of the lunch rush. I definitely would love to go back again, especially with my neighbor Linda who took me there in the first place. I think her very much and had a great time. The coffee was exceptional just like the lemon water. We had a very polite waiter. Unfortunately when we were seated it was at a dirty table which took a very long time for them to clean off. It is very hard to see all the pieces of food on the table I apologize for that.I finally return back to the Olive Garden October 2nd 2022, the food was good however it was too salty for me I couldnt even eat it. Everybody enjoyed themselves very much the children all love the breadsticks and the sauces.

My wife and I have had a gift card for years but never wanted to take a 30 minute trip to use it. Last night we had the opportunity to use and glad we did. The unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks were great. I ordered the Chicken Marsala Fettuccine and it was WAY better than I expected. I ate half and took the other half home for lunch today. So glad we went.

I met my old pal Oedipus Rex at a hooch joint he has there on Berryessa road, we had a pop to wash away the dust, and went to the office to see his Braunhouslinger Besenkehrer. If things get messy hell sure be able to clean up with that!Olive Garden was the first choice for lunch for me, but Rex wanted to go to a Hafbrau restaurant so we flipped a coin and we off to the Olive Garden, its always a 5 star joint. ☆☆☆☆☆

I loved the pasta salad soup and bread sticks! The atmosphere is very serene and inviting. I really enjoyed the food here perfect al dente and sauce was very tasty I loved the five cheese pasta rigatoni and the classic Alfredo linguini. Top two faves here. The gnocci taste great one of the best soups they have second only to the faggioli. Belissimo!

Ordered lasagna, chicken Alfredo for entrees and calamari and zuppa toscana soups for appetizers.The entrées were both bad, pasta was over cooked and way past al dente which is ridicules for an Italian restaurant. Being tasteless just made it worst. The calamari was passable. The soup was actually good (went for seconds…).Service was OK.Not recommended.

The server at front desk was so not professional. We wait in lane to be seat and after they seat other ppl she just ignored us and when to look at her phone and by that time she realize we where waiting and said am sorry for that !!!!! That’s not nice since we would like to be welcome and enjoy our time at the restaurant. Miryan or Maryam.

This place has never disappointed me! The drinks were delicious, appetizers yummy and the salad and breadsticks were fresh and never ending! I tried the Zoodles dish this time, the zuchini noodles and it was scrumptious, but was so full on the apps, salad and breadsticks I took my food home, so will now have lunch! Also got a dessert to go, was like a fried fluffy donut with the chocolate and raspberry sauce! So yummy!

Italian chain restaurant in a strip mall. Parking is usually not a problem. This place is a bit rundown and can definitely use a renovation. Service was very good and efficient. Food was good and as you would expect at an Olive Garden.

Not the best experienceMaybe it was just a bad day idkBut we thought the never ending pasta deal was still available but it ended the day before we were celebrating our sisters bday 28th and we requested the manager but he denied I know the waiter wouldn’t of been generous to atleast attempt to get us a deal since we were a party of ten on my way out over heard a table ordering never ending pasta dishes and if you look up tags for the 20th of November of this year 2023 they’re are multiple post of people eating never ending pastaTo be completely honest the water glasses were dirty AF so was silverwarewith wash stains and one fork had cheese residue on itWe ordered calamari and shrimp and got 5 shrimp and a bunch of fried veggies menu details did not mention thatAlso ordered Cheese sticks and barely any cheese inside one had no cheese at allWe finally complained the waiter insisted he notify the manager and he gave us the option to receive a reorder or just remove from the bill which we selected and still got charged for it on the billThe Salad only had 2 olives and over exaggerated amount of onionOrdered the Tour of Italy did not look like picture at allThe bill was over 300 not worth it allMaybe avoid this location Eastridge location is way better

Very rude staff and unprofessional, especially the so called manager. The “manager” David Sartor accused us of not paying for our meal when we had proof that we did. He started yelling, snapping his fingers, swinging his neck from side to side saying that this is “his restaurant and I need to get out” when he very well is just a laborer of the corporate on $15 an hour. I’ve filed a complaint with corporate and will follow up for his rude behavior.David, next time you want to go off on a well paying customer, be sure to man up and don’t shake out of fear while raising your voice. Would love to see what’s next for you.

We liked the atmosphere and the big family rooms which I recommend if youre having a BD party or family gathering. The food was delicious and you get big salads and soups with your meals.

Went to the one on Blossom Hill for fried mozzarella and a glass of wine. I sat at the bar, with olive garden people walk8ng by me, and wasnt going to be helped until I said something! I was directed to the bar by the front host, Isat there for over 5 minutes and not a single person came over. When I got up and asked the host if somebody was working the bar they said yes 2 of the people that were there saw me and tried to rush over but I decided to leave because if I was sitting there for that long and you couldnt come serve me you dont need my business period

A tasty healthy variety of delicious meals. Easy to access. Eat as much salad as you want. And Coke zero free refills. Its like a dream world. I had seafood Alfredo with the house salad and bread sticks. Appetizer were these new stuffed mushrooms. Fantastic! Very attentive waiters. Very relaxing atmosphere.

This location has plenty of close parking, is clean and spacious and has room for large and small parties. The breadsticks are buttery and mildly salty and are pretty great. The house salads is simple, but somehow also pretty great. We had the Tour of Italy with 3 types of pasta, which was good, and the shrimp and chicken carbonara, which was better, but the bacony chicken surpassed the relatively bland shrimp. The service was fine and prompt.

Went to have dinner there. I just love their spaghetti 🍝 with meat sauce. It is so yummy 😋. I would give them 10 stars ✨ if I could. My experience is very good. There employees are always very friendly and helpful. Our waitress was very excellent she was so sweet and helpful. She came by to make sure we were doing OK. Thank you Olive Garden.

Id give it 3.5 stars. The food is good and theres a large variety of choices on the menu. Cant go wrong with the endless house salad.Nice and simple ambience. The staff are super friendly. The only ding I have is for the length of time it took for our entrees to arrive (consequently, I ate too many break sticks to satisfy the growling).Payment is fast with the table kiosks. Ive dined here many times for lunch and dinner and will continue.

Weve had great service here and the food is top notch. If you come before 5pm no waiting, Anything after and you will be waiting, even with their large seating capacity. . Make a reservation! The staff is friendly, the food is good - whats not to love! This Olive Garden has been in this location for many years but is starting to show its age. Its always clean, but needs a re-vamp.

We always enjoy the Olive Garden. The meat sauce is good, but could improve with more meat in the sauce. Just sayin

Review №43

2019-09-15 05:54:27

Great place to eat if you would like to grab some wonderful Italian food! Also cant beat the all you can eat salad. This location on Blossom Hill Road is not usually too packed so you dont have to wait long on the weekends if you come here for dinner. The staff is also very friendly and the service is very good. The portions of the meals are also quite large so you will more than likely have leftovers to take home! You also have the ability to create your own custom pasta dish which I love. If youre in the mood for Italian food, give the Olive Garden a try!!

Olive Garden was such a nice lunch. The waiter was very attentive and patient. He went all out to make us happy! His name is Jhonathan!

Pasta e faggioli soup, and a spaghetti marinara. When I asked for Al dente the server didnt understand what I meant. The soup was tasty, with lots of beans and hearty but barely warm. The pasta sauce was simple and bright, the pasta was soft.Service was very attentive.

Review №48

2023-05-30 19:43:12

The food was excellent and our server was very polite and attentive. However, we felt very rushed with being given to-go boxes before we had a chance to eat and being asked multiple times if we needed help with the payment.

My wife and I were seated immediately and our server introduced herself to us and got us started with drinks. Before we got our meals another server introduced herself to us and said our primary server was taking a lunch break and she would take care of us. We got our food in a timely manner (not rushed) and the food was, as always, great. Our primary server came back in time to take care of the bill. We took advantage of the special and took home a fettuccine alfredo entrée.

Visiting from out of town and decided to come to this Olive Garden location for a late lunch with the family. Food was great always but more important, the service was amazing! Chris, our server that was on duty in the early afternoon gave us such an amazing experience. We need more servers like him at the other Olive Garden locations where I am from. Will definitely return to this location on my next visit to San Jose. Thanks Chris!

Awful service. I sat at the bar and the bartender asked if I wanted food. I said yes and she ran away to get silverware. 🤷 Then after 5 minutes she came back, brought a menu. She took my drink order. Not hard as it was iced tea and never returned. I left after 10 minutes. Avoid this place. They have incredibly bad management. Awful.

Probably one of the dirtiest restaurants I’ve ever been in. I couldn’t tell if I was eating at Olive Garden or if this was a crime scene. The wall was absolutely filthy, including splattered pasta sauce and who knows what else. Certainly looked like it had been there for quite some time. Service was subpar. Food was ok, but I quite literally lost my appetite after I saw the wall.

Review №62

The place smells bad. Dirty and rundown. Their utensils were dirty, and it took them 10 minutes to change it. My food was cold by the time they bought utensils. It used to be one of to go restaurants but not anymore.They increased the price, and the portions were smaller. It was sad 😔

No Ranch, what restaurant has no ranch dressing when they offered all you can eat salad

Review №64

2017-03-15 14:08:52

Was a typical Olive Garden, yet its food lacked flavor, the Alfredo sauce was chunky, and the shrimp seemed to be coated and flavored with a drab olive oil, this isnt the first Olive Garden that has lost its way, in my opinion. I have a feeling that as a result of a solid customer base it no longer puts in the effort and that since the majority of its sauces are made in advance, by the time they make it on the plate they separate, a reminder that this is a personal opinion, however I feel I must say they arent close to the level of food and service they provided in the past.

A typical Olive Garden same food same soups I had the sausage and potato soup and these lunch lasagna. Perfect performance for a noontime lunch. It was tasty but not exquisite Ive had better at Italian restaurants but but for the price I really cant complain. The service was wonderful

Review №66

2023-04-22 04:18:17

This place would be average or even subpar if it werent for the unlimited bread sticks and salad. I mean, $20 for spaghetti is ridiculous when it costs $1.49 for a box of spaghetti and $1.99 for sauce at Safeway. The mark-up is retarded for Italian places, and youre paying for the ambiance...where Olive Garden is the strip mall of Italian ambiance. Again, unlimited bread sticks and salad save this place from being more over-priced than it actually is.

Took stuffed mushrooms off the menu. Calamari which were once good are now processed clam rings. They barely fill the bowl if you get soup plus super slow on the refills. They try to fill you with bread sticks. This chain was pretty good back in the day for fake Italian food but they have lost their way.

An okay experience. Maybe our server was having a rough night or a big section but the service wasnt the best. The place was clean enough and we were seated in an area that was family friendly. We will probably go back but not in a rush to do so.

Well, when you are at Olive Garden, there you are. Biggest issue with this place is no one knows how to do anything. Took 20 minutes to pay my tab after the computer thing on my table broke. They couldnt just take my credit card and pay the bill.

2022-11-05 04:55:27

Very nice environment. Spacious and gives a warm feeling. Tasty food and decent options for vegetarians. $6 Take home entre with any dine in entre order is a good deal. Good service. $2.99 charged for games is a bit too much and they didnt even tell its gonna be charged. Similarly, $3.99 extra for mushrooms in fettuccine Alfredo is not acceptable.

Omg, I had the best server in the world ever - Alex is the gold standard when it comes to service. All the 5 stars here are for his amazing customer service- the food is always good but it’s the service that just made it so much better. Loved it. Alex ROCKS!

Food was good. Service not so good. After 2nd round of soup & 1 bowl salad finished (had ordered Never-ending soup, salad & breadstick) we needed refill. However, we didnt see the waitress for long time. When she was in the same room, I had to call for her attention. When she came to our table she asked if we had a question?? How can she not see that the salad bowl, soup, & bread are gone and maybe need to be replaced/refilled?? Her tone & body language seemed like were bothering her & shes unhappy with her job. Been to many Olive Garden & the waiter/ waitress usually checks on us & ask if we want more soup, salad or breadstick. After eating we needed to-go containers for our leftover pasta & foods but didnt see our waitress for long time AGAIN! So we used the computerized box thats on each table & tapped on the Call server. It was a non-busy weeknight, past dinner time & not alot of people in the restaurant. Why do we have to keep waiting & asking for our waitress?? Not going there anytime soon...

Love olives garden ambience, salads, soups and their tiramisu! This branch in particular has great service dining in and pickup! Their family style options and good priced and can be a day saver for busy parents! However, dining in in that branch, plates tables and chairs were totally unclean. Hope they can fix that issue to get 5 rating!

Came here on a Friday. There is usually a small wait to get seated which was no problem. Once we got inside the place looked really nice. The waiter we had was very good I forgot his name but he checked up on us a lot. I ordered the 6oz Sirloin with pasta. Can never go wrong with the breadsticks there!

Our waiter, Daniel, was top notch! He made us feel welcome and appreciated. The recommendations he made were greatly appreciated and made our dining experience very satisfying to our taste buds as well. The eggplant parmesan was delicious and the portion size was quite large. The other dishes that were enjoyed by my companions received rave reviews - shrimp scampi, salmon, and their Tour of Italy combo plate!

This place can get busy during lunch hours on weekends. We have typically waited for 15-40 minutes. Recommend you put yourself down on the waitlist when you’re a few min away. Their website makes the process pretty easy. You’ll still need to check in when you get there.

Our server was very courteous, professional & friendly . Despite the busy weekend, our party of 5, that turned to 8, were seated promptly. She tried her best to frequent our table and remembered what we needed. The food was great and the service was fast. Our server was also able to accommodate to our needs as we were celebrating for two birthdays for that weekend. The food was served promptly with plenty of salad and bread to help us during the wait. I would come back to this restaurant if every server was a great as her. Overall cleanliness of the restroom and the whole establishment was very good. The price for the food was pretty fair. The servings were big. The ambience is pretty casual. Tip: This place gets pretty busy and from what I recall, they do not book reservations. Try to look at the busiest times and arrive 30 minutes early. As for food, everything was okay- good. I cant complain about anything we ordered.

Food and service was good.... It was just that the seating host needs to learn better customer service instead of not being patient and expressing body language of rolling there eyes if they arent in agreement with your needs

This review is 3.5 stars. I had lunch with my Mother & friends and picked this restaurant solely because of location. Not my favorite place for Italian but decided to give it try. The bread sticks, unlimited salad and entrees were just okay for a chain operation. Nothing to write a glowing reviews like others have done previously. The table service was acceptable & agree with others that the decor is dated and in need of makeover.

We havent been to Olive Garden in years because the last time we were there, the service was so horrendous, we decided never to return. Our friends convinced us to try again, so the 4 of us had dinner the other night. What a difference! Our server, Danny, was fantastic! The restaurant was pretty busy, but he kept up with everything, including the bottomless soups and salad. He was professional, friendly and quick. It was a very good experience, thanks to Danny!

Blown off by the staff for 40 minutes after we sat down. Got half of our food with more then an additional 30 minutes without the second half of our food I asked for a manager and the woman who came over was rude said you guys looking for a manager or someone and gave excuses that they are busy yet the tables around us are getting there stuff no problems. Rude poorly staffed poorly managed. Not worth the time or money. Never returning to this location.

Out of all the Olive Gardens I have been to I would say this one is exceptional as far as service goes. Our waitress was great and everyone was incredibly welcoming. And she was very attentive to our needs and made sure we were always full on breadsticks, soup and salad. Wish I would have remembered her name. Also the manager stopped by just to make sure we were happy. Thanks you guys ❤️

Everything was too salty! The minestrone soup tasted like reheated canned soup. And the fried shrimps and chicken Alfredo was very salty. My sangria was a disappointment also. I wouldn’t come back here. Food taste like microwaved foods.

If you’re going to go here, you have to ask for Alex!My fiancé and I have gone to this Olive Garden for 3+Years and in all those years tonight’s experience was BY FAR the BEST!My fiancé and I wanted to have a date night after work since we both work ungodly hours all the time and we showed up at 2110, 50mins before closing.We were seated quickly, and our Server Alex came to greet us. He took our order and ensured that our food and drinks came out in a timely manner.From being kind and courteous especially so close to closing, to the polite and upbeat conversation, to (which many of us struggle with experiencing usually) not rushing us, this experience tops all others at this location, and ALL OLIVE GARDENS.Thank you Alex for your hospitality and your drive to be a customer first service oriented server! You are absolutely awesome!!

We prefer eating at the restaurant but there is always so much wait time. I wish they would start taking reservations over the phone, so I am not having to wait for over 30 mins for a table. With little kids it get difficult. But once we have our table the experience has always been pleasant. There are enough choice for vegetarians and kids love the puzzles on the kids menu

Good food. Good Service!We were told there was a 20 minute wait when we arrived, and we could see many people waiting, so we headed to the bar. The bar-tender was very nice and told us that since we were waiting on a table, all beer and wine were 50% off. As soon as we got our drinks and appetizer our table was ready, so we brought our goodies with us. Very convenient!

Service was average, the hostess was not so friendly, and the server seems super busy, he took our order nicely and polite, food was average (it feels like they just reheat it ) my daughter order cheese ravioli from the kids menu and we have to complement her plate with some salad from our sides, otherwise the plate would look empty and also after few minutes the raviolis were dry, the bread sticks was again reheated and super salty and dry. I order the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp dry and average I got a bit disappointed this time we enjoyed been in other locations (Hayward) we were visiting the area.

I think Im going back tonight and hopefully I see her because like a big dummy I can not for the life of me remember her name..sorry lol I got off track the food was great it had a great group of people working just as hard as the next to make it a wonderful experience...thank you olive garden

Got food poisoning from here. Had the food for a date night. Next morning I woke up incredibly sick. My husband tried some of my leftovers. He woke up sick the next day. Extremely nauseous, stomach pain, headache, etc. Be careful.Edit: Olive Garden did end up reaching out to me and refunding my purchase along with sending a gift card. I appreciate them taking responsibility for what happened to compensating me.

We were a large party of 16 or so amongnst 3 tables. We only had one waitress in the poor lady was sure overworked.. But we gave her a good tip because she worked so hard. The food was average for the Olive Garden nothing special. The endless salad bowl was endless as always! The lunch size portions were appropriate.

I sure wish I could remember the young mans name who served my Father, brother and myself last week. He showed exemplary skills at his job and he should be what other people in his position should model themselves after! I dont understand what is wrong with the younger generation today but I certainly blame the internet for playing a massive role in the degridation of the common values that have somehow been lost on the majority of our youth. Most young people these days dont seem to have the first clue about respect and humility and all of the basic functionalities of how a human being ought to behave in social situations. They dont get it! They have been classified as being extremely rude, insensitive and acting arrogant for no apparent reason because they havent been alive long enough to have earned any such attitude. Not that arrogance is an acceptable attitude but I think a lot of people would agree with my explanation of our young people today. Instant gratification having been given to them from the beginning of their understanding of the world has done absolutely nothing for them as far as personal development is concerned.But this young man was extremely attentive to our needs and he was very well spoken, sincere in his speech and he showed all of this in his performance as our waiter. Be should be very proud of himself and so should The Olive Garden be proud to have him as their employee. My Father, who regards this behavior quite highly, was so impressed by him that he left this young man a 20 dollar tip above the customary 18% that was the industry standard while I was growing up. So congratulations in doing your job properly and for having what it takes to Excel at your job. I believe you are going to get rewarded for your attitude, your attention to detail and for your overall exceptional behavior and exemplary attitude and skill set that you possess.WAY TO GO, KID!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Came here for dinner on Thursday, food was as expected. The service was slow. Food order came quickly.

**PLEASE READ**Several cars were broken into here when my family was going to dinner. We had several family from out of town. It ruins an experience when this place could hire security so people can come without worrying about their car being smashed into. Never coming again. And you shouldn’t either, until they get security.

We have not been here for a few years and I was excited to have the salad and it did not disappoint us. It was really good. The rest of the food was ok. Unfortunately the service was terrible. After we placed our order the salad came right out as expected however only one of the 2 drinks arrived. Our main course arrived shortly there after but still no drink. We did not see the waitress again utill we were almost done with our meal. She showed up with the drinks and when she went to hand them out the tray tipped and all the drinks spilled. Accidents do happen but it took another 5 or 10 minutes to get new drinks and by that time we were already done eating.. Through the whole meal we had no water and only one of our drinks. No one came by our table to check on us. We paid the bill online and left with no acknowledgement from anyone. The whole experience was weird.

First time here and they knock our order of the screen we were her for more than 1 hour and the waitress didnt inform us until after the hour, very unprofessional. Poor management skills for this to happen, if I was the manager I would have been the one to inform us and maybe not after the hour of waiting. As a manager you are the one who is supposed to show your face and assume responsibility, but she just sent the waitress after we told her we were leaving. All the waitress did was say sorry and I felt bad for her more than the fact that we didnt even eat.

Very unhappy with the staff phone service I received today.Got a BIG SIGH from the first wait person I spoke with and the second person was just as short.Im new at ordering online and needed home delivery. According to the website they do the following: Dine in - Curbside pickup - No Contact Delivery. When I asked about the No Contact delivery her response was the same as that of the Curside pickup. I tried to explain to her what the website had posted and she said to me sarcastically What in my mind do I think it says. So so rude. Wont ever go back to this place again.

Chicken parm was fantastic, even though they were small. Breadsticks were, of course, buttery and soft with a satisfying little crunch. Server was nice, even has the same name as me, ha ha.

Ive been to this location a few time and the service and food have been fine. My latest visit was absolutely awful. It was 9:00 when we arrived, and we were seated quickly, but it took FOREVER for us to be served. We had to request water several times. I never got my drink and another in my party of six received a melted drink from the bar -- and it was the wrong. one. The food was just OK. This was a celebration dinner so it was particularly disappointing.

I just tried to order the lasagna frita online and it said not available for online ordering. So I call in to see if I can order it that way. I call hit the button for the Togo order section, someone picks up ask how can I help you I start my question and they ask me to wait they have some one ahead of me. Okay but its 4 on Saturday maybe just busy. Im on hold for over 15 minutes! They pick up I ask my question they said let me transfer you to the Togo line! The pick up pretty quickly and I ask my question and the gal on the phone says their out of it and cant be ordered. If it just said that on the website to begin with I would have never had to go through this if the person on the line listen to my question in the begin with I never would have waited this long only to find out the answer was a no.

I normally do not gravitate to chain restaurants. However, I was given a gift card to Olive Garden. I went to the Olive Garden in San Jose at Westgate. The service was excellent. The food (soup - Zuppa Toscana - and salad) was fresh and tasty. Dressing was surprisingly good. Bread sticks were warm with just the right amount of butter to garlic spread.Overall a great experience. The only issue I had was the lack of COVID-19 protocols at the door. Some people had masks and some didnt. The staff didnt inquire or question why they didnt have masks on. That made me uncomfortable.

I love a good meal and if it’s affordable that’s even better. Took the wife and grandson for lunch today and had a great experience at this Olive Garden. Wife had soup and salad and said the soup was the best she has had at any Olive Garden. I had the chicken Alfredo and it was delish. The service was really good and our server was personable and attentive. She missed a few minor request but was quick to correct. The restaurant was clean and sunny with lots of windows. Would recommend for a good affordable Italian meal.

It has been years since I have eaten at olive garden so I thought it would be good to take my husband their for his Birthday. I was somewhat disappointed because the food was just ok. We were greeted and taken to our table relatively fast. The waitress was courteous and took our order and returned with the salad (no bread sticks) our food showed up a few minutes later (still no bread sticks) we asked a few times about the bread sticks and they arrived when we were almost finished with our meal. We were told they had to bake more. The cook has a lot to do with the flavor of the meal and my shrimp scampi could have used a little more flavor. Over all the quality of the food is not as good as it use to be.

Food is fine but nothing spectacular. I love their drink selections and desserts. Some food prices seem reasonable but some prices seem outrageous for basic pasta dishes.Book a reservation ahead of time using app so you limit wait times. This is a positive perk that has enabled me to dine here more often. I refuse to wait an hour to eat anywhere.

Looking forward to nice reunion meal with my daughter. We asked for extra time to read menus. And we paid for it by being rudely treated and ignored. Our bread took five times longer than any other table. Do you want milk? Yes or no. Who talks to diners like that? At the end of our meal, the waitress was all smiles. Too late now! I regret leaving a small tip, should have been none. I will not return.

My family and I always come to this location and usually have great service. But last night we had horrible service by our server Anthony M. The food runner was much more help and in much better mood than our server... we waited 10 minutes for our appetizer plates. By the time we got them out appetizer was cold. We asked for parmesan cheese and took about 10 to 15 minutes for our service to come back and still forgot the cheese.

Saturday evening visit:1. Ordered Fried Mozzarella, Alfredo chicken(too good) with Garden salad, Warm Italian Donuts(called Zeppolis in the past).2. Great food, ordering through table kiosk was convenient and it’s served quick. It’s been a while I’ve come to Olive Garden, prices looked higher.3. Only tip I’d have if you’re visiting any Olive Garden in general, see if you can split your main course with family, I’d to take a box.

I placed a catering order, awful experience: food so so and service horrible, I gotta go back to ask for utensils and other stuffs because the server didnt pay full attention to my order details.Two days after my experience I want to acknowledge that Olive Garden has a good relationship team who cares about what their clients expect and get from them. Thank you for following up and trying to handle it the best possible way, just hope it doesnt happen again.

Loved Olive Garden. The service was good and fast, the food and breadsticks were amazing, and overall the atmosphere made me feel cozy.

We are very loyal to CPK but decided to give this Olive Garden a shot since we were in the area. We were seated and took about 8-10 minutes for the waitress Erica to past by and only say Ill be back. When she did come back, she seemed rush and wanted us to hurry with telling what we wanted. When she took our order, we waited for the food to come in excess of 45 minutes. The kids pasta came out cold which Ii assume it was waiting for the main entree to come out. She never checked on us, refill our beverages or ask to clear the table. Maybe we got her on a bad day but Monday late afternoon, the lunch crowd has died down.

The manager lady is incredibly kind!I ordered a buy one take one deal and only noticed later that night that I had been given a wrong take one. I normally dont care about this sort of thing but the person it was for was incredibly disappointed, so I called and asked if I could get the right order.When I arrived the manager offered an extra entree and breadsticks! I couldnt believe it! Well for sure be coming more often

The menu is overpriced for the quality of food. The broccoli tasted like it was microwaved. They only have one dressing for the table salad and its Italian - so if you have trouble with tart - it might not be for you.They also do not have any healthy options for anyone who is trying to avoid extensive oil or fat.The service was good enough... although the water was cloudy, the server did bring me fresh glass.If you have low standards and want to spend a lot of money, this is the place.

Olive Garden Restaurants may not be the most traditional Italian food place, but it is a comfortable place to get good tasty Pasta, soup, and salad. Seriously, endless soups and salads are enough for me with their bread sticks! But their other food offerings have a wide enough selection to cover most folks tastes. I cant imagine anyone going away hungry. I always end up with leftovers because I love the soups!This particular restaurant has plenty of good staff too! Friendly and customer-centric young people who have been trained right. We enjoy our visits here as a family and will continue to do so.

Efficient, organized car-side food pick up service. Offers excellent value, especially during these tough economic times. Where else can you get a full entree with a tub full of salad and breadsticks (easily feeding 2 people) for under $20?

Very disappointed with the service we just received at lunch. I think if you open up for business, you should be up and running. The restaurant was almost empty and we had to wait for servers to show up at work. The waitress we did get seemed like she really didnt want to be there. We had to ask for silverware, bread, refills, etc. Weve had several positive experiences there in the past so what happened today made me want to share this with you. She didnt even say goodbye... have a nice day... or anything to us when we left .

I been going to Olive Garden a lot and it took a hour for the kitchen to cook my food. All I got was a sorry. I let it slide and I went back a Month later and again long wait to get my food. The Managers needs replaced and get someone in there can run the place.

A little slow service but the waitress was nice. The restaurant was busy. The food entrees were good. The salad was yum. I still think the breadsticks need some flavor.

I stopped in for lunch at 11 a.m. The hostess told me it would take a couple minutes to seat me because the servers still needed to get ready. When I got to my table I was surprised to see a tablet mounted to a big plastic stand. You could order some items but not a main dish. I found this kind of odd that you could order drinks, or other items but not your meal. The tablet was intrusive and certainly did not earn its space at the table. The server was friendly but a little different. It seemed like every interaction I had with the staff was just a little bit off. My lasagna was just adequate; I was hoping for better. Its important to say that I did get my moneys worth as I ordered off the lunch menu which was quite economical.

It has this old house smell. It really bothered me. The bathroom could be cleaner. Get the house salad and ask for dressing on the side. Too much dressing at the bottom of the bowl. Their cleanliness can improve overall. I have to check the fork and knife everytime and I had to ask them to change them before. Family friendly. Usually you can see moms and their young children or senior couples there.

Great, friendly service. I was there to have lunch and catch up with girlfriends, and we did not feel rushed to leave. It was typical Olive Garden fare. We all appreciated the easy electronic payment system thatis at each table. This made it simple to split our check and pay when we were ready to go.

The quality of food at Olive Garden has decreased drastically over the years. The food is much more bland, the portions are smaller, and the prices dont reflect what it once was. Theres no care. We came as a party and someone ordered fettuccine Alfredo and it came with no sauce. The gnocchi soup on another member came with no gnocchi. The spaghetti and meatballs come with one meatball, even though the title is plural suggesting at least more than one meatball. And they charge for each additional one instead of a bundle. Completely unacceptable. Please do better or this will be my last visit.

Whenever we go for lunch or dinner to this restaurant we always come out so happy and content. You get the best food here. Lot of vegetarian options as well. Minestrone soup is a must have comfort soup. Bread and salad are fresh and taste awesome. Very friendly and smiling staff. Nice ambience.

The food was OK, the service OK. The other guests around, rude. I would be nice if multiple kids are screaming at the top of thier lungs if the staff could ask them to keep id down to a loud roar. While this is not Olive Gardens fault. Not doing anything to curtail this activity is thier fault. The food and service was not good enough to chance another visit.

Maybe its just this location but I was sorely disappointed. The greeters were wonderful, the servers were just mediocre. The biggest disappointment was the quality and taste of the food. I used to eat at different OGs frequently and have come to expect good service and great tasting Italian food . This was not the case here. The sauces were bland and the pasta was far from El Dante. I might try this location again in the future but not anytime soon.

Thought we would try again since it has been so long since last time. The drinks are good and reasonably priced. Salad us good. Bread sticks are so so. Then it goes way down hill from there. Chicken marsala is terrible. Chicken is definately frozen and has weird seasoning. It is a insult to Italians everywhere to describe the sauce as a marsala. I have had better brown gravy. The pasta is not fresh and again the sauce leaves little to be desired. Will not be going back again.

My husband, daighter, and i thoight the Food was Great but service was not. Gena was nice but not very observant to our table. She had 3 tables which included ours. She was so attentive to the other two tables but walked by our table several times not paying attention that our drinks being empty. I wish that there would have been camera there to see for themselves how she was. She also would ask us if we wanted more bread sticks but again not noticing that our drinks were empty. I asked her for refills on our drinks. She said yes, then the other table asked for coffee and she brought their coffee to them right away and did NOT bring our drinks to us. Finally I gave her a look and she them remembered to get our drinks. She brought our food to us which was Great. When we were finished she had asked if we wanted a box, we said yes. Another customer asked her for a box and there she goes again she brought them a box forgetting that we asked first. I gave her a look then she remembered. I usually give a really good tip but today nope, nothing!

One of my favorite restaurants to go for lunch and dinner. I love Italian food and Olive Garden always exceeds expectations with its menu (which always adds new plates) and its service. Last time out waitress was a doll, friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. Always a great time and great food. Highly Recommend it.

The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. However the food was overpriced and not the same quality I am used to from other olive garden locations. The breadsticks were crunchy and the portions were small. I got the chicken alfredo which was advertised as 50% more chicken... it appeared to have about 3/4 of a chicken breast on it and cost about $20.

I’m part of a women’s club that holds monthly meetings. We usually go to Olive Garden because they have a private back room and are typically accommodating. When I called to book the room for next month’s meeting I was told that they can no longer take reservations or more than 20 people for that room. Allegedly they were fined $100k and threatened to be shut down by the fire department. When I asked about reserving a different area of the restaurant I was told flat out NO. I don’t understand how you turn way business of 35 people who will be eating dinner and consuming wine on a Tuesday evening. After a $100k fine, you may want the business. Just saying!

I came here a few times with my coworkers and friends. The location is nearby Oakridge Mall and the parking is pretty spacious. The customer service here is great, but not the best. My favorite dish on the menu is the seafood alfredo and its the only one I order here. I tried a few white wine...which I prefer. This place tends to get very crowded on the weekends and a long wait is expected.

Food is OK in the pre-made pop it in the microwave and heat it up sort of way. Atmosphere is lacking. I hate that they always make you wait to be seated....even if half the restaurant is empty. But....we still like it Love the soup, salad, and bread sticks with unlimited refills.

We were quite disappointed in the fact that you could not accommodate our party of 9 on a Friday before 5pm, without an hour and a half wait!Thats ok though, we took our business across the road to BJs, they were more than happy to accommodate our hungry bunch of travelers. We WONT be returning to your restaurant. BJs is our new place!

Upon arrival we were greeted and sat right of way. We were seated by the bar area but it took a few for rhe waitress to come and get our order. Once taking our order our waitress was no where to be seen. We were waiting a long time to get our food bc our waitress went on her break and failed to notify anyone of us or our food! We spoke to the manager on duty and he took the time to check on our order and give us a discount on our appetizer and a dessert on him. Although a discount was given and a free dessert was on the manager, I give 2 stars bc we were ignored and the long wait to receive our meal.
