Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

My mom and I were regulars here we loved the soup and salad always good! My niece and I went last Friday and we were very disappointed. We ordered soup and salad. I ordered the chicken gnocchi soup and my niece ordered the Zuppa Toscana her soup looked like a pale yellow broth with a piece of kale in it! My soup was horrible the gnocchi tasted like I was eating paste. I’ve had this in the past always delicious! Went to get a bread stick which was rock hard, the waitress saw me poke at the bread stick noticing how hard they were and brought “fresh” ones out we told her about the soup she replaced it I passed on mine but the zuppa was better second time. It’s just A shame that we couldn’t have had “Fresh” soup and bread sticks at the beginning of our meal. I went to use the restroom and was shocked at the condition it was in absolutely gross like it had not been cleaned from the night before! This was at noon they had only been open a short period of time! I go to wash my hands and the soap is completely diluted watered down I’m like of all things to cut back on don’t cut back on soap! Especially running a food Establishment! I went to speak to the hostess but she was texting on her phone I asked to speak to the MOD because I was completely disappointed in our entire experience and wanted to express that to the manager! I waited over 15 minutes to speak to the manager but they never came to talk with us.Olive Garden has always been consistently good for a chain restaurant and when you’re paying top dollar for nearly everything, you expect to get decent food, cleanliness and service.

??SPICEY FOOD??Came with my hubby and kiddos 2 and 5... This place was clean... tables and chairs were clean A+ ... food comes out pretty quick... which is a good thing when you have hungry kiddos... the kids menu has a pizza with a choice of chips or fruit .. for about $5.50 unfortunately you have to buy a drink separately which is an extra $2 Plus thats a bummer.... they also have a choice of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a grilled cheese... pizza was pretty good... you could taste the freshness of the pizza... it just seems really cold when it came out.. we ordered the barbecue tri-tip which was really good but again the bread was not warm bummer... Im not a fan of spicy food but this sandwich was spicy for me... I ordered a cup of soup... and lo and behold that was spicy too... was hoping to give that to my two-year-old since she really is a fan of soup but the soup would not work for her so I had to order another kids pizza... I didnt think to ask if anything was spicy I just assumed it was a sandwich shop and so they normally dont have there food as being spicy.. overall the food is good they were not busy at all when we came on Sunday around 5 pm... my suggestion is if you order anything off the menu ask if it has any kind of spice to it if youre sensitive to it.. I dont recall the menu stating that the soup was spicy or the sandwiches ..... they have a really good watermelon mint drink and they have customized sodas... not just your regular Diet Pepsi dr. Pepper or Sprite they have some really awesome drinks...

I used to go here with my grandparents. The service and the food was always so nice and tasty. So when I took my girlfriend here for a date, I didn't think the service would be any less than good.But that was not what I got.When me be my girlfriend arrived, we were greeted by the host and asked if we were going to sit two. We replied with a yes. The waitress then looked at my girlfriend who is a little bit shorter than I, and asked if she wanted a kids menu. That was really where it started to go downhill.We were taken to our seats and we usually sit on the same side as each other because we are a couple so we didn't think anything of it. The host said our waitress would be right there. Our waitress comes and takes our order after giving us questionable looks. We ordered small items at that. She got a Caesar salad with chicken and I got the appetizer guacamole with a flat bread. All of which shouldn't have taken more than maybe 25 minutes. We proceed to wait almost 40 minutes to even get any food. Our food comes out and the flatbread is burnt on the sides, and my girlfriends chicken tastes also burnt. It wasn't busy when we went, and when looking around the waitresses and managers were standing around talking. There was also distress in the kitchen from one male manager to the cooks.During our time there, we were given harsh looks by not only our waitress but the managers as well. Our waitress brought us the check but never returned to take the check. We could see her in the kitchen. She would stand there, talk to a fellow waitress and look at us. She stared at us. After that another waitress was holding what seemed like straws and our waitress took it out of her hands to go do whatever was her task.Our waitress came out with a whole pizza in less than 20 minutes for a table that had just been seated fourty minutes into us being seated. She passed by us, gave us another glare and then didn't come back to our table and proceeded to make her way back to the kitchen to just stand and talk some more.I also will note there was a table of six that had just been seated, their order taken, their drinks brought and their appetizers taken out in a manner of 10 minutes. Towards the end when we needed to go and get our food paid for, we had to ask another waitress who seemed to be a lead to pay for our meal. And that came with more looks.The whole experience was frankly rude and disrespectful. The waitress and staff was less than hospitable. And the looks were unnecessary. Me and my girlfriend do get looked at quite a lot when we are out but when at a resturaunt, we expect professionalism just as we give it at our own jobs.
Melos Sandwich & Dessert

You can get way more and better taste at Jersey Mikes. The sandwiches are overpriced and smaller than JM. The girl there only comes out if you ring a bell. She forgot key ingredients on my club sandwich, which is not a hard thing to make. The place is super basic inside.REPLY: First, if you pride yourself on organic ingredients, then they should taste better. They dont. You felt the need to answer every part of my review except the part where my sandwich was not made correctly. Its not hard to do. When my wife and I arrived at the peak of lunchtime, no one was around. 2 girls were painting the wall and we stood there while no one was around to help us. They girls painting the wall said we had to ring the bell to get service. I hope the feedback Ive provided helps to improve the business.

Let me begin by saying that I have just experienced the best sandwich of my life! It was an otherworldly culinary journey that transported me to a realm of unparalleled satisfaction. From the first bite to the very last, this sandwich exceeded all expectations and left an indelible mark on my taste buds.As I took my first glimpse of this masterpiece, I could hardly contain my excitement.

The aroma alone was enough to awaken my senses, but it was the flavors that truly astounded me.The sandwich was an orchestra of tastes, carefully orchestrated to create a harmonious symphony in my mouth. The succulent, chicken was paired with the smoothest mozzarella cheese, creating a delicate dance of savory and tangy notes. The crisp, fresh lettuce and juicy tomatoes added a refreshing element, perfectly complementing the richness of the main components.But what truly set this sandwich apart was the secret sauce. A blend of herbs, spices, and a hint of tanginess, it elevated every bite to a new level of ecstasy. It was as if a gustatory epiphany had taken place, as my taste buds awakened to flavors I never knew existed.And just when I thought my culinary adventure had reached its peak, I had the privilege of tasting the tester pizza that revolutionized my perception of this classic dish.

From the succulent pieces of pear to the hot honey that added a touch of sweetness, every ingredient was meticulously selected to create a symphony of taste. The blend of melted cheeses, including creamy Gouda, and gorgonzola danced harmoniously with the hot honey and balsamic, delivering a flavor profile that transcended any pizza I had ever tasted.As I savored every mouthful, my taste buds were awakened to a new world of possibilities. The sheer creativity and craftsmanship that went into both the sandwich and the pizza were unparalleled. These culinary creations pushed the boundaries of flavor, showcasing the skill and passion of the masterful chefs behind them.In conclusion, the sandwich I experienced was truly the epitome of culinary excellence.

The Jerk Jamaican Eatery
29073 Overland Dr STE I, Temecula, CA 92591, United States
This is one place I'll never go to again. Me and my husband ordered it off of DoorDash and the food was good. But this time me and my husband was like it's only 3 mins from the house let go inside. Well as soon as we walked in the owner was laying down in a chair and was extremely rude. We ask him about how the beef patty's wasn't in the DoorDash app and he told us oh well thats just them. Not my fault I don't run door dash but me and my husband let it slide. And started to order when I was ordering I started to say my order and mentioned the rates pasta and he was really rude and said I'm glad you like it don't expect it to be here anymore I'm taking it off the menu. By then my husband was getting pissed and was gonna say something but he knew I been craving it and didn't say anything to the owner i ordered 2 oxtail plates 2 jerk plates and there lunch stew chicken I hate to say this but the oxtails were greasy and still tuff hard to eat. My chicken was slightly raw and I have never had jerk chicken or stew chicken that was sweet I'm from LA and always get Jamaican food this place definitely won't last long and I guess they say you get what you pay for the plates are fairly cheap but I'll take my trip to Inglewood because this food is not it. Not to mention one of the cooks came from the back and was putting makeup on her face over the food my husband even told her if I would have seen that before I bought my food I would have you take it back completely unsanitary customer service isn't even up to part to have a business. For $116 that's some food they can keep.
Pangaea Restaurant and Wine Bar

If you want real honest opinion keep reading, its long, but detailed. I am actually greek and seeing the 4.8 stars the trestaurant has, i definitely needed to try it! We went on Monday, lunch time. There were only 2 other tables when we arrived. I saw the augolemono on the menu and it grapped my attention right away. I asked the server, if this is actually greek made with geeek seasoning and the answer I got was, everything is made in house, everything Greek on the menu is actually Greek and everything Italian on the menu is pure Italian as well. Reading the menu, I decided to order a greek Horiatiki salad and my husband ordered the guro platter! The server said the order will take a short wait cause everything is made to order. Couple minutes later the food made it to our table ( so not at all a wait) and not really made to order.. The server brought our food, she placed my salad first and then my husbands plate. The minute she placed my salad in front of me, I could see a hair on the side on the plate, she was talking to my husband but I immediately interrupted her and told her about the hair. Her first response was where is that?? I showed her and she said I will have the kitchen replace that for you. At that time, I asked for my order to be canceled. The salad was not even big enough for the price tag of $13. Also the feta was crumpled vs a whole feta slice that actuall Greek food should have. My husbands platter has the gyro, which was more like a very fatty patty and not a thin sliced meat like it should be. Also it tasted like old fatty food when u leave in the fridge for a couple of days. The salad that was included with his platter, tasted like it been cut the day before. The crumbles of the feta did not taste like an authentic greek feta like tha catalog claims. The gyro, was served with white rice which was mushy and weird flavor like its cooked with a soup base. Overall, the food felt like a poor quality fast food and not a sit in restaurant. Lets assume its fast food, i would still not eat there again and definitely do not recommend.
Creative Catering & Events VIP Room
27525 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591, United States
My wife and I made a deposit for our wedding reception that was originally scheduled in May 2020 with Tanya Lopez at Creative Catering. Her sample food was great and she was very kind and flexible at first. However, once Covid hit, things took a turn for the worst.We originally had to postpone our wedding and reception until August 2020 because of the Covid pandemic. We were still not able to have the wedding in August 2020 due to ongoing Covid restrictions and decided to get married at a very small ceremony in October 2020, to comply with public gathering restrictions.We requested a return of our deposit ($3,255). We understood that no one was responsible for the pandemic but decided not to keep deferring the wedding. We entered the arrangement with Tanya for a specific date and then agreed on a delayed date, which also did not occur. We understand that the pandemic had an impact on her business, but since services werent provided after two unsuccessful attempts to schedule a wedding and reception, it was reasonable to request a refund our deposit.We attempted to reach a mutual agreement with Tanya to receive some form of a partial refund, but nothing came from it. Tanya and her husband came out and did a site walk with us originally, and we want to ensure that we provide a payment for their time spent for that service as well as the pre-wedding discussions that she spent time with us on. Furthermore, Tanya stated she had already spent the money from our deposit, though we didnt receive any other services from her.After continuous follow up emails and calls with Tanya, we were told to now communicate only with her lawyer. We reached out to her lawyer and were told that they cannot confirm whether or not Creative Catering is actually their client. So as of now, I have no response from Creative Catering or their legal representation. All of this could have easily been solved if Tanya was willing to work with us on this in regards to receiving a partial refund, as all of the other vendors we had hired have done. Instead, Tanya has spent our deposit of $3255 and we are left with nothing. Be careful before handing any form of deposit over to Creative Catering as you will never get anything back or any meaningful communication from them.
