Good food, but almost always a wait: I have always loved the Olive Garden, but was recently disappointed...My husband and I decided to go there a couple of weeks ago for dinner in the late afternoon/early evening and the lobby was full of people. We were told there would be a 25-35 minute wait. We decided to go somewhere else, but noticed while looking in the windows on the way out that at least half of the tables in the non-smoking area were empty. Not sure what was going on with that. I work in a restaurant and when you have a lobby full of people, you put them in seats wherever you can.
i enjoyed it: if you like italian food, with a classy touch and look this is the place to go. The friendly staff and warm setting takes you back home to ma's house.
