"We went on a double date to North City Bistro on a recent Friday night and had a lovely time enjoying dinner and the show. The food is delicious and shareable (crispy Brussel sprouts, sautéed sea scallops, Mac and cheese, meat and cheese plate) and the live music was terrific. Yes, it can get lively (a little loud) but it is pleasant and in an intimate setting. There are about a dozen tables in front near the band where you can enjoy the show. There are also about 8 tall tops toward the back if you want something a little more intimate and cozy. We enjoyed cocktails to start, wine with dinner and affogato with dessert. With such a large variety of food and drink, there is something for everyone. We loved the creme brûlée to share! The staff and owners are kind and pleasant. We will definitely be back for their happy hour and Sunday brunch."

"This is the best restaurant in town! The staff is incredibly polite and friendly, and they're fantastic with kids—my niece absolutely loves dining here. Lunchtime is quite relaxed, but it can get busy during dinner. The prices are reasonable; while they can be on the higher side, the quality of the food justifies it. The portions are huge, even for lunch, so I always end up with leftovers. And the food! It’s consistently fresh; I have no idea where they source their vegetables, but they’re always top-notch. The takeout is just as good, but I really recommend dining in so you can experience the wonderful service—the servers are truly delightful!"

"The atmosphere was like a supper club, many bottles of wine, spirits, and photos, on the walls. Looked and felt up scale. The bar area was small but had multiple high top tables they were adequate, and views of the kitchen. Happy hour options on appetizers and drinks. The bartender was great. Menu: plenty of options but pricey. The quality of my 16oz ribeye was mediocre at best. For $72 it was not worth the price, add mushrooms and onions for $6 and you have a $78 over priced steak… I’m not apposed to spending and having a good meal, but I was disappointed. Would I come back? It would be hard given there are other steaks restaurants available in the area that are as good if not better than Kaminski’s. The staff was good but the the food is pricey and average."

Even though I had to box most of my dinner up (I was stuffed! every bite I ate at the restaurant was so tasty. Excellent service! Roy and James were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Great music too. We loved our first time here and will definitely be back!!!"

"Dinner was excellent for all. Drink food prices very reasonable. Server was very friendly, but forgot several things and had to be reminded a few times. Table was also not ready when we arrived for our reservation, had to wait 20 min. Overall a great time but could use some improving on the staff"

"For the new year, we went to Olive Garden! It was a great experience, I?m giving that location a 5-star review. The place is very very clean, and they follow CDC guidelines. Be prepared to wait in your car because for health safety they can?t have people standing inside. After giving them my contact, we were texted min later once our table was ready. Our host Shannon was one of the best I?ve ever seen. She was knowledgeable on the menu and help up with our food selection. She was always checking our table. She got the gift of making guests comfortable. Everyone at our party or 5 were satisfied by her service. The food was Amazing and her advice was spot on. She deserves a raise or a promotion. We will be definitely back and we would like to be served by her again. The manager Ron was very professional and came to great while wishing us a happy new year."

"Olive Garden might not be the most authentic Italian restaurant, but it's a good Italian restaurant and a popular chain. The food is consistently good, if sometimes expensive, and it's always worth the visit in my opinion. It's also one of the few restaurants that has food options that are completely vegetarian, which is sometimes a tricky proposition... Vegetarian safe cheese is not available at all restaurants or on all dishes here or anywhere else, but at least there are some options at Olive Garden."

"We had 4 people in our group. We were seated at a lovely table with a nice view of the harbor, and we had a beautiful sunny day for early March. Our server was excellent and kept a leisurely pace which we preferred and enjoyed. The fresh warm bread and garlic herb butter was a really nice touch. I ordered the blue cheese wedge salad and was expecting a blue cheese dressing, instead it came with a champagne vinaigrette, which I really enjoyed it. The two men in our group ordered the clam chowder and both enjoyed the soup. One noted it was maybe a bit heavy on the bacon but liked that the clams were minced rather than chopped. The only problem experience was with the prawn Louie, where the prawns had an off taste to them. The presentation was beautiful on the salad, just disappointed with the seafood item. We will still plan to visit you again."

"Kayla was an exceptional server—attentive, humorous, and knowledgeable. She truly enhanced our dining experience! For my meal, I had the Shrimp Scampi, which was a lighter take on the classic. It featured asparagus, tomatoes, perfectly cooked shrimp, angel hair pasta, and a light lemon garlic butter sauce. I was thrilled to find such a lighter option on the menu. Our birthday guest chose the Grilled Chicken Margherita, topped with tomatoes and mozzarella; however, it was a bit bland and could have used more excitement. Everyone else was pleased with their "Tour of Italy" entrees. The Fettuccine Alfredo was slightly light on the sauce but still tasty, satisfying a craving for something richer. Overall, it was a delightful meal made even better by a fantastic waitress. Well done!"

"We come here all the time and never have a problem that was very different tonight. Waited over 30 minutes for soup and salad and when she finally came out with soup and salad the food was ready and she threw everything on the table. Terrible service and that manger was no help. Terrible experience and too bad because we lovED this place."

"Where to start. The waitress was not very nice. For some reason she just did not like us. I asked for soup and said if i try to eat my husband salad then i will be charged. Cause they charge per person. Then when my soup came out she looked to see if I was eating my husband salad. She didn’t asked if i wanted any cheese on my soup and only asked if my husband wanted cheese on his spaghetti. So no tip for her. I had to get the manager to assist us."

"Domenico's on the Wharf in Monterey offers a prime location right on the wharf, surrounded by a plethora of places to shop and eat, making it a fantastic spot to enjoy a day of exploration and dining. The bustling atmosphere and picturesque views of the waterfront add to the overall charm of the restaurant. One of the standout features of Domenico's is the genuinely friendly and welcoming staff. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm smiles and attentive service, which enhances the dining experience and makes you feel like a valued guest. While the location and service are commendable, the food at Domenico's left me with mixed feelings. While some dishes were enjoyable, I found the overall quality to be average. At times, certain dishes felt a bit overcooked, which affected their flavor and texture. It would be great to see a bit more attention to detail in the kitchen to elevate the culinary experience. Despite the average food experience, Domenico's on the Wharf remains a lovely place to visit, especially if you're looking for a vibrant and friendly dining atmosphere with the convenience of a diverse selection of nearby shops and eateries. It's a spot worth considering, especially for its scenic location and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the lively ambiance of Monterey's iconic wharf."

"My wife and I visited this particular Olive Garden the other night for one of our date night 's that we regularly partake in when we do not have the kids. Before we went she, my wife that is called ahead due to the fact the website said that was what you were supposed to do when it said there was a wait. When she did it told her that there was no wait and she did not have to. We then left and were there in about 15 minutes. Once we arrived there were multiple people in the waiting room waiting to be seated which was funny considering the web site informed us that there was no wait. My wife then walked up to the front desk and she was greeted by one of the very pleasant young ladies there who informed her that there was a 30 minute wait which once again funny because we were informed that there was no wait lol. Luckily for us it did only take 30 minutes though just like they said and once we were seated the meal was great and exactly what I would come to expect from most of the Olive Garden restaurants that we have been to. The waiter Michael the one with the pony tail and the beard not the one with the big head of curly hair not that he wasn 't a good water to but I want to make sure I specify, promptly came to our table and took our order which we were ready to give to him considering we had a half and hour to figure out what we wanted. The salad, bread sticks and dipping sauces that we ordered came in a timely fashion and we had just enough time to finish them before our meal came which was nice because that is a pet peeve of mine. The food was great the service and the server was and were even better. All in all the wife and I had a great time and enjoyed our Olive Garden experience. Thank you to Olive Garden and mike for a good time."

"I decided to take a break on Asian food for a week and tried Italian food, N O R E G R E T S! ?Upon arrival, I had one party ahead of me and was seated after 15 minutes (the place was pretty packed). Waiter was nice and patient in explaining the menu as this was my first time coming to any Olive Garden branch (I didn 't know they are a multichain restaurant prior to my visit here).Anyhow, when I started ordering, the first thing I noticed about this place is that all of their soup dishes ? and salads ? are free refills! I immediately thought, "Wow! I mean I have heard of free water/tea refills but soup dishes and salad? Impressive! ??We ordered: Shrimp Scampi First time hearing Angel hair, so wanted to see if the name is only half the story and I was impressed with the texture. The Shrimp were fresh, tender and most of all seafood smell was not present. The sauce on this dish was a tad bit sour/ salty (maybe that 's how scampis are? Weird combination, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless)! 6oz Sirloin The dish I was most looking forward to! I got my steak cooked to medium well. The meat seasoning felt just right. Texture was tender and juicy. The pasta that came along with it was creamy but it was alright (probably because the steak was too good).I would recommend this place if you want to try an Italian/American fine dining experience! ?"

"The Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Bakersfield, CA definitely lives up to its reputation! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the enticing smells of simmering sauces and fresh herbs. The atmosphere is lively and charming, creating a vibrant dining experience. The star of the show is the food, and I was blown away by the Chicken Alfredo (Crispy). The tender chicken breasts smothered in the heavenly Alfredo sauce were a true delight. The sauce itself was creamy, garlicky, and perfectly seasoned, creating a delicious combination with the chicken and pasta. The portion size was generous, leaving me satisfied but not overly full. And let's not forget about the famous breadsticks – warm, soft, and dusted with garlic and parmesan, they were a perfect accompaniment to my meal. The Olive Garden in Bakersfield truly offers a taste of Italy, with attentive service, a vibrant atmosphere, and, most importantly, delicious food. Whether you're a fan of Olive Garden or simply looking for a cozy Italian escape, this restaurant is a must-visit. Great experience all around!"

"The food at this restaurant is consistently delicious. We always find the prices to be reasonable. The restaurant was bustling with customers and the service was excellent. Our server, who currently commutes 1 hour to work, did a fantastic job. We ordered Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp Scampi and enjoyed every bite. We will definitely be returning in the future."

"I organized a birthday dinner for my teenager with 25 guests on just a week's notice. I discovered that the restaurant doesn’t take reservations on weekends, but I spoke with Miguel, one of the managers, who kept me informed and allowed me to arrive an hour early to set up the decorations. Everything turned out wonderfully! I had two servers who were fantastic—very attentive and professional. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks because the staff made everything run smoothly. The only suggestion I have is for the restaurant to consider taking reservations and deposits. Overall, Olive Garden is an excellent venue for hosting events, and the food and drinks were of great quality."

"Food is standard, nothing superb but also isn't bad. I go mainly for their Zuppa Toscana! To me, it's the best thing on their menu! We usually get the Tour of Italy for the variety and enjoy it! If you order an Entrée, you can take home certain Entrées for $5 ... a smaller portion but still a good deal!"
