Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Menifee

Great to go on a weekday evening. Our server Karyn was very helpful and attentive all throughout our dinner. She was knowledgeable and helped us choose some wine for the night with some tasters. We didnt have to wait very long for anything after being seated tonight which is a nice contact to other nights where weve had to wait a bit to get our plates out. Knowing when to time things makes a difference on services so that wait staff can accommodate the guests needs adequately. We had never-ending pasta, soup, salad, bread sticks, and dessert with ours drinks, some wine and a mixed drink. We never had to wait for service or refills, Karyn was right there to check in before we could worry about anything whatsoever.One downside would be that additional vegetables for your never-ending pasta is actually an extra charge we werent aware of but is offered while ordering. For amount of vegetables however it may be worth it to get depending on the tastes of the individual. Fair warning, if you get asparagus it is chopped into smaller (bite size for the pasta) portions and blanched so for sensitive palates it may come off as too undercooked and bitter. I do wish they had grilled or sauteed as an option but I found it alright since I enjoy a fresher crisper veggie but my friend dining with does not. Overall everything was fresh and cooked well, definitely satisfying for a night out with your housemates.

I arrived after 5pm and sat at the bar by myself. Service was fast to as if I was seated at a table. The food was good and fresh. The bartenders were just as good as a waiter and checked on me to make sure my needs were met.

My family had been craving Olive Garden for a while but it was alright. This location has only been open for a couple months. When we arrived at 7pm on a Friday it was a two hour wait for 8 people. It ended up only being an hour though. New, gorgeous inside and out. I understand they are new and it was a busy Friday night but the service was not that great. The girls were nice but they forgot my brothers drink all together, and then they only brought half the food out at once. Half of us got the Tour of Italy but two of them looked a little dry and then the rest of our party had to wait like 15 more minutes for food. It was my sisters birthday. They had at least 6 people sing happy birthday to another party but when they sang to my sister it was only one waitress and they gave her dessert in a to go container. It was a mess. The only outstanding thing was that they made my sisters drink, an Italian Margarita, extra strong for her birthday and she thought it was really good.

New location on Newport Rd. & Calle Tomas next to Wendys. We went during busy dinner time, had to wait long (about 1 hr)... we went with that in mind so we didnt mind waiting to be seated. Service was great despite how busy it was, staff still managed to be attentive. Restaurant is clean, plenty of parking. Food was amazing with great presentation, fresh and delicious with that unique Olive Garden taste. Overall I was very satisfied with their service so far.

When we visited this location, not too busy. Our server Karen, very nice and friendly. So efficient! Love their lunch special with their unlimited salads, soups and breadsticks. Highly recommended to visit, A++++++++. Most likely will visit this location.

A laid back great place to dine at, especially during the week. Great service, good pasta, good drinks and a good atmosphere.This is the first time checking out the Olive Garden up in menifee, it’s relatively new to the area.This place was packed to the rim, and they managed to fit us in, everything was timely service wise too. You can tell this place is quite popular.We started out with a couple rum punches, highly recommend it, their drinks hit the spot and taste quite good.Onto the entrees of ziti and my wife got custom pasta and sausage. They brought out some soup (enyoke was amazing btw!!), breadsticks, and salad. Always a great way to start a meal.The pasta was delicious for both us, pasta noodles was cooked perfect, and the sauce was perfect. The prices are very reasonable, and even though it was swamped the service was amazing. A good place for a tidy meal at reasonable price with great services.

Stopped by for a quick dinner. And my spaghetti and meatballs came out fast noodles were cooked very good meat sauce was good but the meatballs were not that good ( frozen ). Salad was okay. ( needed more veggies ). The breadsticks were good and so were the fried mozzarella but they never refilled my drink. My waitress was friendly and it was very clean inside the restaurant

I heard they are closing down soon. It’s just like a fast food Italian restaurant. It happy with the type of lettuce they use asked for romaine lettuce and for iceberg lettuce. They gave me all romaine first visit then claimed that they did not have any on my second visit. The lasagna is meh.Service was good. There is a much better Italian restaurant just up the street better food better prices and service too

Update: There was great care taken in regards to our celebration dinner. Customer service was thorough and management even reached out. They truly care about providing an outstanding dining experience for every customer. I am most grateful.

I tried various items on the menu and have been given half heated up ziti, chicken tortellini with the tortellini missing, and very hardened breadsticks. Yet, we still kept coming here for the salad and the brownie lasagna. We ordered to go last night and the person on the phone failed to mention that the brownie lasagna is gone and gave us this new “chocolate lasagna” which is disgusting. So, safe to say we’re done with this location.
