"My friend and I went for lunch a week ago and ordered the Unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. First, let me say, I LOVE Olive Garden's soups! I had already decided that I wanted a bowl of each of the four kinds of soups. I would forego the bread sticks and salad to have room in my belly for their delicious soups. The soups were great, and my friend enjoyed some soup and a lot of salad. The service, on the other hand, was absolutely horrible. We were seated in the little bar area in a booth. There was one other table occupied with two people. There were no other customers in that section. Our server kept putting her coat on and going outside. When she'd finally returned and we could get her attention, she would take care of our needs swiftly and would talk very fast and run off quickly before we could say anything. My friend wanted another glass of wine and had to go into the main dining area and ask another server for it. Our server was literally going outside every ten min. I'd be done with my bowls of soup and had to sit there waiting and waiting for her to come back. One time, we were waiting 15 minutes for soup refills! The people at the other table were growing more and more irritated, as were we. I don't know why I didn't seek a manager to complain. I did leave her only a ten percent tip. This was our first time at this particular Olive Garden, and needless to say, we were not impressed."

"I have not had problems at this location before. However, I feel as if this needs to be shared. On Labor Day (9/5/2022), my girlfriend and I stopped in and decided to have some dinner. We walked in and only had to wait a short time before we sat down. We were sat and given our drinks by the hostess and greeted by one of the other servers (name unknown). She took our soup and salad order and shortly after our main server (Laney) came over and took our main order. She was already abrupt with us and wanted to know what we wanted right away. We both happened to know what we wanted, but I felt rushed. We also wanted to order some beverages with alcohol (I am 21 and my girlfriend is 22). She then proceeded to ask in a condescending tone You got ID? . We both showed her and after looking at my girlfriends ID, she threw it back onto the table at my girlfriend. I then proceeded to show her mine and she said What do you want? in again, a condescending manner. We put our food orders in and she said to us you are throwing too much information at me all at once. Take in mind, she was not writing anything down. We then got our drinks and mine was pouring over the side. While they were still good drinks and our food was good and hot, all in all I think our experience felt rushed and our server wanted nothing to do with us. She was not nice or charismatic and it felt like we burdened her with our business. What bothered me the most is that she was being nice to every other table she served, but was rude to us. I hope she realizes that a simple smile and a good attitude can take you far when it comes to giving services."
