Amazing Service and Great Food!

I went there a couple weeks ago and the food was amazing. they gave us a free wine tasting, free bread sticks and never ending pasta and salad. My waitress didnt keep me waiting and i didnt need to ask for anything because she already knew what I was thinking, awesome place!

Come for the solid service and unlimited breadsticks & salad, not for the very average pasta.

Dined here late on a Saturday evening (9 pm) - seated without a wait. Staff throughout the entire evening were a delight and happy to entertain our requests, and kept the salad and breadsticks flowing. The salad and breadsticks are delicious and are obviously a big draw. I ordered Lobster Ravioli... more

Good food in a family-oriented place. Nothing fancy but if you enjoy american-ized Italian food, go there. Keep in mind that many food items are out of a pre-packed plastic bag - and heated up. Don't expect authentic Italian cuisine haha. But if you lower your expectations, good times will be had.

This is your typical Olive Garden.. Which is great!! The building itself is huge, which is great because they do have a lot of costumers. If you go there during prime dinner time you will have to wait for 30 minutes or more.

It took 47 minutes to get seated. 12 minutes for the server to take our drink order, 22 minutes to get our drinks (water), and 1 hour and 3 minutes to get our food. After we were done, it took an additional 24 minutes to get our bill. The salad and the breadsticks were the highlight of the meal. The pasta was only mediocre. The decor was nice. I don't think I will return to this restaurant... more

I do love the Olive Garden. I had frequented it in the past when I was vegetarian and was always quite happy.

I went vegan at the beginning of this year and was a little worried that there might be nothing to eat. After a moderate amount of online searching I did find that there is a few vegan options.

Our waitress was fabulous and confirmed with the staff that the plain kids tomato sauce was... more

We normally like the Olive Gardens in the US but this one is not the same at all! Terrible service and poorly trained servers. We had a tray of drinks dumped on us, and the food was not very good either. The Tour De Italy dish we swear was pre-made then microwaved before serving to us. Like rubber and tasteless.

Great food, had the chicken Marsala, expensive but worth every penny. Waiters are smiling and are very nice, but watch your bill. There was a charge for a food we didn't even order. We found out when we were out in the parking lot. We went back and they reimbursed us. Later I heard the same story from two other people. I don't know if they were telling the truth.

I did go for the buy one take one. Here in Langley Canada the price isn't 12.99. It starts at 17.99 and up. The take one you only get a choice of their 3 lowest priced meals (not the one you ordered) and they don't give you the same amount as if you eat in and of course no salad/soup and bread sticks.

For the most part I've always had a good experience. The staff is usually friendly, they are typically aware everyone wants more breadsticks. If it's busy sometimes your food is a bit cold or over cooked and it's difficult to get seats. It's a decent price and they have a good selection of wine and cocktails.

Nice food, 15 minute wait to be seated on Sunday at 1pm. Nice atmosphere, louder then standard but nice when you have kids and don't want to worry about your kids making noise. Don't come to eat fast as it takes some time to get your food and drinks when they are busy but still pleasant if you give yourself the time and aren't in a rush. Always nice the breadsticks and salad with your meal.

Historically this was one of my favourite restaurants for family dinners. My last experience, however, was well below what I consider to be acceptable. The service was slow and they infrequently came to check on us. In addition to the lacklustre service, my lasagna was burnt to the point that one of the noodles was black. Will definitely consider alternative options after this experience.
