    The food here was pretty good... The only thing that I would say to improve on is that there was at least a 15-minute wait and there was not even one-third of the restaurant full of patrons... When we were walked back to our table there was more than ample seating available and there were at least five families with 4 or less waiting to get to their table... This was in my opinion the illusion of exclusivity... And I would have still paid the same price had I been seated quicker... The wait staff is excellent... The bathroom needs to be redone however... The handicap bathroom specifically the toilet is too close to the wall and that is inexcusable... Overall great experience... You get what you pay for the prices are a little bit expensive but they are really good quality...

    Coming to this Olive Garden was a nice break from shopping. Service was good, we were attended quickly and our server was very nice, they made the experience a little better. The room was a little dim, but I expect that it is probably brighter in the daylight as it was getting dark when we arrived. The food was great. I had ravioli and my sister had the Tour of Italy and both were delicious. We both had the soup to start and that did not disappoint either. The portions are a bit large, and we couldn't really finish it, but there is the option to take it home if you want to. Unfortunately, we were flying home that night so we couldn't take advantage. Overall, this was a good experience. The food and environment were great and I would definitely come back if the opportunity arises.

    We ordered shrimp fettuccini and chicken parmagena. The alfredo sauce was delicious, but the pasta in the chicken parm was very chewy and there was not enough marinara sauce. I enjoyed the bread stick the most.

    I like olive garden, very consistent, which is welcome after a very long day. This one was nice, sat at the bar. Got relaxing, attentive, but not disturbingly so, service.

    Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Food arrived in a very timely manner, environment was inviting. I would return to this location. I ordered something simple, spaghetti with marinera sauce and my friend ordered tour of Italy. Was pleased overall

    First time for this location, they were on a names wait, we got sat pretty quickly. We asked to sit in the bar area, hoping that there would be no children there and it would be more quiet. That was not the case. There were plenty of kids there. Very disappointing. Children belong in the restaurant, not in the bar area. The server was nice a bit slow with refills on drinks and food quality was very good and the restrooms are clean overall pretty good experience

    This place is very good for large parties. We had a party of 12. The food was really good. Fast service. Good recommendations from our waitresses. Family friendly with customizable kids menus. Kiosks to keep the kids entertained. Even though it was super busy they had enough staff to be attending to all assigned tables. I believe it was the manage even came over to our table and asked if everything was going well and if we needed anything.

    Nice restaurant, good food. There was a problem with our online reservation. We told the hostess at the door, and she said she would try and help us, and the manager overheard the conversation. She came over and rectified the situation, and got us our seat right away, instead of making us wait longer. We will definitely visit again.

    Never thought I'd give an Olive Garden 5 stars, but this location is really well run. Attentive staff made us feel welcome, everyone seemed happy to be doing their jobs. Well organized, friendly, orders all correct and timely. And yummy.

    This is a very busy restaurant. We had a twenty minute wait, this in no way is a reflection on the usually good service found here. I, along with two others stopped in for a quick lunch. They only offer ranch dressing or balsamic dressing for the salad. I don't care for either one of those two. I had baked ziti, it was nothing like any that I had in the past. It barely had any sauce on it. Our server was not very knowledgeable about the drink menu nor was she able to answer questions about the different dishes on the menu. I have been to other Olive Garden restaurants and have been quite happy with the food and the service. For some reason this restaurant isn't able to meet the standards that we have come to expect from Olive Garden. I really wish we could leave a five star rating but if we did, it wouldn't be an honest review.

    This Olive Garden location upholds the Olive Garden standard. This location is in the Northfield shops area of Denver and, as big as the area is I had to use GPS to find it. The staff greeted us as we entered the restaurant. We were waiting on a friend and they offered to have us look around a bit to see if my friend had arrived so that was nice. Once seated our staff member was attentive and made sure to ask us if we wanted cheese on everything. (my favorite) I was visiting a friend whom I haven’t seen in a couple of years, so it was a nice place to sit and visit and catch up. All of our requests were met. We even added a to go order to the bill at the end. The to go order seemed to take the longest to be ready, but overall, the experience is what you would expect at an Olive Garden that is keeping up with the standards set by the company. All of our food tasted great and the salad was fresh. I appreciate having a great experience, especially when traveling, at a place you recognize from back home when you don’t have time, or it isn’t convenient to eat local for one meal.

    In the heart of Fort Collins, I stumbled upon the Olive Garden – an unexpected haven where the staff’s infectious enthusiasm transformed a mere meal into a familial gathering. From the moment I walked in, it wasn’t just about the food; it was about the genuine connection, the warmth in their service that resonated with the promise of being part of something more than just a dining experience. The atmosphere echoed with an unspoken camaraderie, making it clear that, in this Olive Garden, you weren’t just a customer – you were family. And that, my friends, is the kind of hospitality that turns a simple meal into an unforgettable journey.

    To say James served me is an understatement. I was guided through a culinary experience that I honesty never expected from this establishment. He was like the sun touching your skin after an overcast day. Warm, beautiful, and supportive. It was never a choice but a path during my meal. Truly, an experience on service/ dining. 10/10 would recommend to god

  • 5/5 Laasianee b. 1 month ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Food was hot and tasty with a perfect portion. Went during lunch and despite it getting busy our server Rodrigo was attentive. He honestly was the best and fulfilled all of our request promptly. He did it all with a smile and so graciously. The restaurant was calm and relax for a lunch crowd.

  • 1/5 JEFF C. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    My wife and I treated our friends to dinner here. We ordered the salad and soup plus our entrees. Our server, Ilene, brought the entrees to everyone but left mine on her serving tray, picked it up and quickly left. We were all shocked. I told everyone to go ahead and eat, I was sure mine food would be coming soon, and it did ten minutes later, and of course it was cold. Thanks a lot for the wonderful memories.

    Waitress was great, food was great. It was my birthday and it was perfect. The fried lasagna was a little over done. Other than that so great. Finished almost all my food. Wished I had grabbed an entree to go. 😍

Best experience I've had at Olive Garden like... EVER I didnt like how the servers would walk by me even though I'm waving & flaggin them down to get a simple request fulfilled....like a name??

  • 5/5 Ahmed A. 8 months ago on Google
    It was a great time to stay here, I was enjoyed with fettuccine and ravioli, it deserved to visit and take a good experience.

  • 4/5 Michel V. 2 years ago on Google
    When I left there I was no longer hungry. Surely you know what to expect when you're eating at an Olive Garden. Service was above excellent. Bartender was quick yet gregarious. Servers were attentive and the whole meal went very smoothly (party of 6 adults and 5 children). Great choice for date night before you head into a movie.

  • 5/5 Helen L. 7 months ago on Google
    Good place for family gatherings. Often a wait during peak times.

  • 5/5 kathy r. 5 months ago on Google
    The blonde hosts didn't take our name, because we offered to sit at bar well when sitting at bar open she didn't inform us, when I ask we were going to take what can first. Fifteen twenty people came in after us that were service, the wait was an hour so irritated, she was so busy putting on lip gloss and not paying attention. Than the server was negligent. The good out of this was the food great food. Thank you

  • 5/5 Veronica l. 4 months ago on Google
    I go here with my family and friends all the time. Food is consistent. And this last visit we had the best service we've ever had. Thank you so much, I wish I could remember the servers name.

  • 5/5 A T. 3 months ago on Google New
    The Olive Garden located in Northfield CO deserves a 5 star for efficiency. The staff were very pleasant, professional and my order was completed in a timely manner. The food was good.

    We came here for my wife's birthday, and had an excellent experience. The stuff, the series, and the atmosphere was beyond expectations. Thank you for the perfect evening.

  • 3/5 Mark W. 1 year ago on Google
    Never been so frustrated at a restaurant in my life. Almost left before receiving our meals. One bad server can’t destroy an entire restaurant though, I hope. Our server was super slow and non attentive. Other tables that sat well after us were served their meals well before us. No refills on drinks, no cleaning of used plates. She only had a four table section and only three tables were sat at the time. Never asked if we needed anything or how was our food. Thankfully for another server, Tre, we got refills and to go boxes after our meal finally arrived, but cold. The manager on duty was also helpful and apologetic to our situation and discounted some of our bill.

  • 5/5 K. L. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite meal is the cheese ravioli, sauce on the side. I enjoy the size and taste- it's fresh, hot and gooey. The price for these heavenly cheese filled pillows are fairly reasonable! I typically pair the ravioli with a fresh salad-I like to balance out my meals😉. So far so good. No complaints!

  • 1/5 Elian Chavez A. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    The food was okay but our server kept forgetting some food items and taking long with our food, with no updates on the food whatsoever. We kept waiting for our server to come around to us but she rarely checked up on us. Our food took long to arrive and before we left we ordered some ice cream as desert but never arrived... server didn't bother to put the ice cream on our tab. When asked about it, server said "well they're 3 dollars each" in a sassy voice... talk about unprofessionalism.

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    We had Trey as our server tonight and he was fantastic! Gave us a couple of his favorite dishes recommendations and they were phenomenal, things on the menu I would never think to try. He made our experience fun and welcoming! We will definitely be back thanks to him!
