    We went there for lunch a day after Christmas. It was pretty busy but we had great experience. Food was amazing, hospitality was awesome. The manager was walking to everything single table and checked on every guest. Thank you

    Really liked the place! Had a weird smell inside the restaurant though, do not know what it was, but it was overpowering, just a faint smell. Service was great! We went there on a Saturday around 5:30 pm. Wait time was about 25 minutes. Mother’s Day was Sunday, so we celebrated a day early lol. Mana was our waitress and Kai brought our plates out. They were both excellent. Very friendly, professional, and helpful. We had a really good conversation with both of them when they had time of course. Food was delicious as usual, that is why we keep coming back. My wife asked for angle hair pasta instead of the regular (It was not an issue.) all the plates were well prepared, food quantity and quality were very good.

    First time at this location having dinner with the kids and let me say from the moment we walked in we were greeted by two friendly hosts. They had a waiting time of about 40 minutes which I think it’s pretty normal wait time. When we got our table our server Lori came and greeted as well super friendly. Lori went beyond the excellent service, she made us feel as if we were her guests at her home. And well the food had a better taste than other locations we had been. We all enjoyed our time there. Will definitely go back and be requesting to have Lori as our server again, this lady deserves more than 5stars she also deserves a raise too. If many restaurants had a Lori the experience would be amazing. Thank you Lori my kids and I appreciate you and we will be back soon!

    I have been here multiple time and it’s great. The waiters are always checking up on me and are always there to help. The food comes out on time and it is pretty good. It could be a bit costly, but it is worth coming here.

    Went as a 6th month anniversary dinner with my partner, and we were pleasantly surprised by their endless pasta event. They serve large portions as the beginner pasta, and smaller half-portions afterwards. The food was very fresh tasting and delicious. The staff was pleasant, albeit our personal server was a tad curt. Could have been she had a long day, of course. I will be returning the next time I am in Irvine.

    Love the Zuppa Tuscana! It's been a while since I've had it, but it's as good as I remember! The meatball appetizer was great too! Will order for delivery next time. I don't like that the waiter vanished once he told us to pay on the P.O.S. There was an error on our check and he didn't seee the flashing light or check back with us to see if everything was okay...

    We had Savannah today as our server and she was just so amazing! She made our experience so so amazing!!!!! She was talking with our kids and they were just having a blast with her! They loved her so much that when we were leaving they wanted to go with her! We will definitely be coming back and requesting her! If you have little ones I definitely think you should ask for her!

    Celebrated my friend’s Birthday lunch at Olive Garden. 🎂🍝🥗 This Irvine location is beautifully decorated. Love the artwork. - House Salad Good Ranch dressing - Breadsticks (so buttery) - Chicken Alfredo with added Broccoli Creamy, rich Parmesan cheese sauce. Delicious. Add broccoli for an additional charge. - Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara Loved this dish! Delicious! Very flavorful! Creamy rich sauce. Love the bacon and roasted red peppers in this dish. Cheesy. Pasta Al dente. Bring on the cheese 🧀 🤣

    One of the best olive gardens I’ve been too. Food was all great and came out quickly. All staff was lovely as well. Our server with the curly hair and acrylic nails was one of the best waitress’s, she is very polite. We also had an issue using a giftcard and the manager helped us no problem and was very respectful as well. Overall great experience and will be returning again.

    My girlfriend and I went to Olive Garden and had an absolutely amazing experience! Our server, Julian, was the cherry on top of a fantastic meal. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Now let's talk about the food. I ordered the Seafood Alfredo and I have to say, it was the best Alfredo I've ever had. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the seafood was fresh and flavorful. The portion size was generous, so much so that I had to take some home for later. My dining partner had the Chicken Parmigiana and it was equally delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was just the right amount of tangy. It was served with a side of piping hot, perfectly cooked spaghetti. And let's not forget the breadsticks! They were warm, soft, and just the right amount of buttery. We couldn't stop eating them! To wash it all down, we tried the Bellini Peach-Raspberry Iced Tea and it was the perfect complement to our meal. It was sweet and refreshing, with just the right amount of fruity flavor. Olive Garden off of Alton Pkwy is Italian style goodness of taste and if you're lucky enough to have Julian as your server, you're in for a real treat!

    The Best Olive Garden experience I have ever had. The wait times were great, the service was even better & the food was amazing. I've never had such a fantastic steak at such an affordable price before. The cherry on top was the unlimited breadsticks and soup. I left the restaurant feeling happy and satisfied. I have gone back since & I will be back again!

    Came here for lunch, absolutely great experience. their portion is so big, and their price is amazing. They do the business with honor

    Love this location, for the service and the cleanness! Everyone here is always so friendly. I could tell by looking at all the full tables it was going to be a bit busy, but because of the extraordinary service my family and I received by Mark it didn't seem busy at all. Mark and Emily and even the manager Veronica made sure our table was taking care of. I sincerely love the customer service I received by these servers. I appreciate the way you guys teamed up to ensure the deliverance of exceptional customer service at Olive Gardens for me and my family.

    You can’t ever go wrong with Olive Garden. Food was delicious but what really serious out this time was the service. Our server Ethan Baker ( last name was on the digital receipt) was amazingly attentive.

  • 3/5 Behnam S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Olive garden because it's always consistent you always get what you expect to receive. One of the best one of the best fettuccine Alfredo's you can find there. They're salad is actually the best features there every time I go there I order lots of salad with cheese. Also what they have for parmesan chicken is very good. The part that I'm not very happy with is actually there spaghetti with marinara sauce. It does not have much taste they really need to improve that

  • 5/5 Darrel F. 2 years ago on Google
    You either love Olive Garden or not so much. We love it and make sure we don't go to often because it is easy to eat too much. They have a 5 dollar take home menu too.

    We utilize the curbside pickup that Olive Garden offers. We typically pick up from this location 1x a month. They always get the order correct according to the notes. They provide extra breadsticks (per our request), utensils, and Andes chocolates each time too. Our go-to dishes are the kid's pasta with meat sauce. Sometimes they are liberal with the meat sauce and other times it feels like they could've added more. It's always a hit though, my daughter eats her whole plate. She also gets fries as a side with her pasta. The fries are often soggy so we don't normally eat them. If we don't get the fries, we will get the extra side of spaghetti with marinara sauce, but they also offer grapes and broccoli. We also get the build your own pasta, usually with spaghetti or angel hair, and meat sauce. The side of soup is our choice instead of the salad. My husband eats the soup as his main dish actually and he loves it. The pick-up times are sometimes very long, and then it takes even longer once you check-in and are waiting. Other times, they bring out the food right away at the time it says it's going to be ready. It's really hit or miss. They are consistently good though, and the staff is always pleasant. 👌🏼

    Seeing the good reviews, I brought my little daughter over for dinner. I ordered a children's minced meat pasta for my kids and a chicken soup for myself. The chicken soup was so salty that I couldn't swallow it and had to serve it with some broccoli and bread. The kid didn't like her pasta either and just ate some free bread. I will never come here again!

    I do not seem to get orders right from this location. We tried curbside pick up and it’s truly a hit or miss (miss mostly). Orders were incomplete or severely late for last 3 times. There is always something missing including plastic ware , mint candies, napkins or simply an item from the order. When called manager is kind and quick to refund for missed items but that was not the point. I do not recommend this place for carry out. 2 stars as we did have a good dine-in experience in the past. Will be trying another Olive Garden in nearby city.

    First time at this location, waiter was extremely friendly and helpful, I asked for my steak medium and got my first one more well done than anything and the waiter saw me cut it open and saw that it was overcooked and immediately went to get it fixed without me having to ask him! The soup was pretty good, I got the Zuppa Toscana, but all the soups looked good. All and all would recommend a friend
