“Olive Garden in Colorado Springs”

J G.

Had dinner here with 4 friends this week. Fantastic food and great server. The last meal I had at this restaurant was equally impressive. By todays standards, the meal was reasonably priced, with so much chicken and shrimp. I had enough to take home for another dinner next day. The Olive Garden seems to have the best servers. They are helpful, friendly and maintain a good sense of humor. They seem to genuinely want their customers to have a great experience. Great stuff guys! We appreciate you.

This place really does have good meals and the customer service has always been great. Though they are a little more expensive then other restaurants but probably worth it. I have only been here a few time and have never had a bad experience.

I went to Olive Garden to celebrate my birthday a few days ago. The wait time wasn't long, my server was very attentive and polite, it didn't take long for my food to arrive and my appetizer and entree was delicious. The restaurant was clean, the seating was perfect and the atmosphere was great. I would definitely eat another meal here in the future.

Tip for consumers:
Try the spinach artichoke dip...
Deeeelicious!

Products used:
I ordered the spinach artichoke dip appetizer and the shrimp alfredo entree.

Dear Manager at Olive Garden,
I must commend you on the service at your restaurant. A couple weekends back, my girlfriend and I were eating at your establishment. Our server was named Jasmine, and she gave us such a great night. Jasmine, or Jazz was so attentive to all our needs. She recommended a delicious ravioli that my girlfriend and I both loved. The food came out at the proper time and it was also delicious. Jasmine was funny and thoughtful. I did not want to be a bother and have her box up my left over breadstick, but she did it without hesitation. Sometimes chain restaurants get a knock for not being as good as smaller owned, "fine dining" establishments, but I could not disagree more. I have worked in many of these restaurants, as well as have eaten in more. Our night at your Olive Garden ranks up there with the best of them. Jazz and the other members of your team are amazing. We will definitely be back!

It's funny how past events at restaurants can put such a bad taste in your mouth that you won't go back.

I ate at our local Olive Garden about a year ago but a few years before that I had such bad service that I just don't want to pay for that. It's not cheap for the microwave dinner and when a grumpy old woman serves everyone around you and you wait almost a hour for your menu (I had to get up from the table and physically get in her way to just ask her for a menu and maybe a glass of water) you just don't want to do that again.

Olive Garden in Rivergate has gone to pot, just like a lot other Restaurants. Really, never thought that would happen. The waitress we had, forgot to bring my soup. Never picked up a dirty dish from our table. And, if that wasn't bad enough when we gave her the cash to pay our bill, she disappeared and never returned with our change. We sat there for 30 minutes got tired and left. She got a nice tip for not doing her job. Maybe she needs to go to work for SONIC.

Me and my friends went there recently and we were not impressed. Long wait, horrible service and the food was mediocre. The salad tasted very bad. The staff was not knowledgeable about items that were new and she was pretty rude. Disappointed

My experience with Olive Garden has most often been positive and rewarding. I enjoy the atmosphere and variety of dishes available on the menu. It's a treat that I look forward to.

My wife and I live in Richmond Ky and Do visit the local Olive Garden there off
Barns Mill Road. We always enjoy all the food and cleanliness of this restaurant. But Yesterday 11-28-2023 I was disappointed in Olive Garden allowing a dog to come in to the dining room with a couple. This was NOT a service dog. They had it in a stroller and I think it was a mix poodle of some kind. Dogs have their place but NOT in a Public Restaurant. I like dogs but not in My eating area.

I am almost 11years old, but even I can see that this was nasty. Dust bunnies everywhere, stunk like puke, waiters were just standing around, and there was mold on the vents over our table.

On October 14th I had a party of 10 go to olive garden for my daughters birthday. They had 2 servers helping our table but it was more like 1. One would take all the orders the other would bring them to the table. It started off with the seating.
We got there knowing we would wait for a table with a large group. They didnt tell us half the party had to arrive be fore they would seat us. Only after they seated a party of 7 20 minutes after we arrived did we learn this.
They waitresses took our drink order and got us incorrect drinks. After that they took our food orders and wrote my order down wrong. Instead of fixing it (I ordered the unlimited pasta) they showed me what she wrote down. I left it alone. I wanted a second bowl but after they served our food my drink never got refilled and they never came back. We had to ask other servers for to go boxes. And then we had to ask other servers to get our bill split correctly. It was very disappointing. I have had questionable service before but I have never felt like an annoyance or a nuisance at the restaurant that my daughter insists on going to at least once a month.
I will seriously reconsider going there anytime in the near future. I get better service from our fast food places.

I know a person who worked there, but was a newbie for a little over a month and they fired her. (For being slow!) She was hired full-time but they only scheduled for 2 days a week, started training her in different positions. But as of today she got let go. For one, if she worked the full time shifts she would have had more practice but "no" they gave her little hours. Even when she asked for more they didn't. And for someone being a newbie don't just throw them in and expect a pro. What ever happened with team work? Especially for a newbie. This is the one in SLC (Sugar house). I'm very turned off on how she was given up on instead of team work. Is this the way they treat their employees? Plus we are hearing that they dis on people who are LGBTQ ect.I love their food but to hear how they treat newbie's and don't give them the hours they were hired for and training she felt that she was just thrown into the wolves to figure it out herself. Shame, and I live close to that one but I will kindly go to a different one.

Olive Garden, Liberty, MO
Store: 1753
5-20-2022 Check No. *******
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND CUISINE! In celebrating our 51st anniversary, we chose The Olive Garden to enjoy our special day. We have never been disappointed in the Olive Garden's professional staff as they carried out serving their customers.
Server, Makyha H, was polite and courteous while taking care of our requests. Her timing was perfect as we dined on well prepared foods starting with salad, appetizers and cocktails, rounding off with our perfectly prepared chief's entrees.
To complete our feast, Dianna Armenta, GM, treated us to a tasty Black Tie Mousse Cake for desert honoring our anniversary.
We would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is searching a feel good relaxing dining experience.
Regards, G. Sanders
