Olive Garden Italian

Kids meals come out cold, it seems to be a common occurrence my chicken parm meal came out with the wrong noodles, no big deals Instead of just letting me eat my meal and bringing out the right noodles the waitress took my entire plate to fix it. No problem but everyone in the family finished their meals way before I got mine back. kids meal came with a drink but charged me for root beer. Waitress should have said comes with drink, except root beer? Wasn’t worth it. Pros? My food was good. My salad and breadsticks were great. The service, though not great at knowing how to solve the problem appropriately was very nice.

I wish you would not use cloth napkins. It is so gross when you see people blowing their nose in those napkins. Would be nice to have some paper napkins on the table for people to use. I always bring my own or ask the waiter for some paper ones. Thank you

Salad lacked dressing and the lettuce was in huge chunks. The Margharita chicken with broccoli was delicious but took a very long time to arrive at our table. Huge dislike on the game fobs at the table. I have no issue paying at the table but do we need a huge bright screen sitting there? This is historically a beautiful ambiance.

The service was phenomenal. Great atmosphere like always. The reason I scored so low is the pricing. They recently got new menus in, and with the new menus came new prices. We've always enjoyed going on our date nights and knew we'd splurge a bit. Now the majority of the menu is at $20 or more. Which sadly is now just outside our date night budget. *edit* While I appreciate the response and understand with these trying times costs of different items and services are increasing. While the CEO had an estimated $15 million salary last year (conservative estimate) I wonder how much of a paycut they took to lessen the blow on consumers. How much of the increase in costs is being shared with the employees? I wasn't going to go this route, but when the CEO is making so much more than most the employees combined I don't see how an increase like this is necessary. Blaming the times is such a cop out it's sickening.

Soup came lukewarm, appetizer calamari was barely warm, spaghetti was served warm. Waitress said they do not have decaf coffee so settled on hot tea. I talked with manager he said they do have decaf coffee available. I told him about the soup and he said it is at a specific hot degree. And he seemed to not believe me that the soup was served lukewarm. Maybe waitress didn't serve it right away?? If food isn't served right away, it cools down.
