I like the food at Olive Garden especially when prepared properly. On Sunday May 15th, I had the occasion to be invited by some friends to visit this Menomonee Falls location. I’d only heard mixed things about it since it opened and now I’d finally get to check it out. We deliberately picked a late afternoon time hoping it would be less busy and the staff more attentive. And it turned out to be a good choice on both fronts. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The entrees we chose were Lasagna, the Tour of Italy and the Seafood Alfredo which is one of my favorites. We opted for the salad to go with the dinner and we were not disappointed. It arrived quickly and loaded with toppings and had the right amount of their signature dressing. The bread sticks were pleasantly warm and we were off to a great start. The food arrived a bit too quickly as we hadn’t finished the salad but better than being late and/or cold. I was pleased with the Alfredo and my companions had similar opinions about their food. Refills on the drinks were regular and we never had to ask for anything as the waitress was mostly always available. There was nothing to complain about and though I’d never been there before I was able to find the location without any problems. After having been to their previous location on Brown Deer Road in Milwaukee many times and was just as regularly disappointed, I would consider going back here on a Friday or Saturday night to see if the experience would be any different.

Only had time for a quick business lunch. The staff seemed to understand by our dress that we wanted to get in and out. Got us our drinks and salad very quickly. Food came out fast as well. Lunch portions were just right.
