Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

We went here to have dinner before a concert. We picked The Olive Garden because they have some gluten free options for my friend who has Celiac disease. There was no wait for us since we were a party of three and that was very nice. It was REALLY busy though so the restaurant was really crowded and loud. The lights are really bright and the light fixtures hang really low above the table so it was pretty overwhelming to dine there. All three of us were feeling pretty overstimulated throughout our dinner. It was so busy that it was taking a little while for service throughout the dinner but our server was actually amazing. He was super busy but he kept up as best he could and was in a good mood the whole time. The manager came by our table to check on us as well and he was pleasant and cordial. The food was okay. It wasn’t over cooked or anything like that but it’s mid, and that’s what we expected so we weren’t disappointed in the food. The prices of the dishes are quite high for the quality of food that is being served. I would gladly pay $22 for seafood Alfredo if it was made with better ingredients, but these prices seemed pretty high for frozen seafood and Alfredo sauce (even if the sauce is made in-house, and I’m not sure that it is). We definitely will not eat here again…it’s just not worth the money for us.

Our waitress was one step ahead the whole time! We have a boy with celiac disease and when we order his gf noodles she brought the salads with croutons on the side (cuz honestly...we didnt think about that) very attentive.
