"I had the pleasure of having a phone interview with the general manager, Tom, who made a significant impression on me. I performed well during the interview, which took place just before Christmas on December 25, 2023. I've been a loyal fan of Olive Garden for the past 12 years, visiting numerous locations, even when I lived in Eugene, Oregon. The reason I moved to Cape Coral with my adopted family was to be closer to their Italian relatives. I cherish the time spent here, although leaving Oregon in December 2019—after a long 3,000-mile drive to Florida—was bittersweet. Despite some challenging experiences along the way, I feel grateful to have settled in Florida. A little about me: I was adopted in 1994 from a European orphanage, thanks to the generous donations of professional athletes who helped fund my journey to the United States. I'm now in my 30s, and I turn 36 on April 11, 2024. I want to commend the entire team, especially Tom, for their dedication to providing excellent service and for treating everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their background or circumstances. My last name is Italian, and I truly appreciate the warmth and sense of community here in Cape Coral. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas today, December 25, 2023. Thank you for your hard work and for making Olive Garden a special place for everyone, including veterans, seniors, and patrons of all ages. I look forward to a second phone interview for a host greeter position sometime in January 2024, and I'm excited about the opportunity! Your delicious pasta, ice cream, and overall service bring joy to our lives. Stay wonderful, and know that you are valued! Love to all the employees at Olive Garden. Life is good!"

"We love to take family and friends from the city here and also like to dine here for special occasions. We had family who came from the state and made reservations to take them here on the past Father's Day. Unfortunately, our experience of this visit was unfavourable. Although we had 6 reservations, it took some time to take place, although most of the main kitchen was surprisingly empty. We're not sure why we didn't sit in this main area, we felt like they wanted to keep us away from it. They sat at a table in a large room behind the restaurant between the bar area and the outdoor area, which seemed like a storage area that had no decoration or ambience, like the main room. We were the only party here for our entire stay. Servers and employees pass our table several times and it was 't until 20mins later someone finally recognized. Unfortunately, it was irresistible when the server seemed to wait on our table. She said something to effect, I guess I'll wait in you.... We are not a demanding group of people, we waited patiently and politely, so their behaviour and attitude towards us was unprecedented. She was rude, and she'd put things on the table. I understand the restaurants are understaffed and sensitive, but it wasn't as busy as it should have been for the father's day, nor was it inappropriate for us when we were polite and not inappropriate enquiries (we asked for a glass of water to fill in and she came back, hit a pitcher water on the location and went away). It is more annoying that my father died in May and my sister, who was with me, ransacked his stuff and later spread his ashes this week. I took us to this nice restaurant to celebrate my father's last father's day with my family, but the service that night was unacceptable and unproven and made me embarrassing and angry. It was a terrible experience that I did not return."
