Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Food is always good, I'm enjoying the new gluten free items, that they are able to substitute for noodles in their delicious dishes! There is some cross contamination, I believe. But gluten free noodles are huge! Still no bread sticks sadly... But maybe one day!

We had to sit and wait for a table so rather than waiting we decided to go sit at the bar. We asked to go to the bar but the lady said if we go to the bar that she was going to take our name off of the waiting list. So we sat and we ate at the bar. The female with the colorful hair was quite lovely I feel like I could have requested a little bit more attention from her. I do know she was running around busy though. My personal opinion the salad is great. I can eat the bread but I'm told that it's wonderful and for some reason Olive garden is one of the last restaurants to offer gluten-free options. There's literally one gluten-free vegan item to choose from on the entire menu other than the salad. Plain, bland very, very, very, very bland marinara sauce with the only option of plain gluten-free noodles. Thank God for the cheese shredder that would have had no flavor other than plain tomato sauce out of a can on top of some plain noodles. And the salad is very good though and the atmosphere is great for several occasions just friends hanging out to a date to conferences like it's good atmosphere. I feel like the cooking in this world could use some help with spices and flavor. But it is what it is. I did enjoy my time with my friend.
