    Olive Garden did not disappoint! Delicious food and amazing service. They have a lot of great options and it’s very filling. It’s sad we don’t have one in Montreal.

    Awesome service from our waitress. The food was presented well on the dishes. Waitress checked on us frequently. Olive Garden has always been an excellent choice. Not a good idea to finish the breadsticks before the food arrive :) and the soups always excellent. The waiter was awesome!! Excellent service. Loved my shake!

    The only thing that really makes the difference in this place is the Alfredo’s sauce of the house and the service, the rest is not as wow as it was a decade ago, the salad was splendid and the starter soups, today it is not bad, but they deteriorated the quality.

    Our waitress Cathy was very sweet and attentive. The food was yummy, but it took a while to receive ours. I’m thinking they may have been short in the kitchen because usually everything is very quick. When we came in the booth seat was still dirty but once mentioned they did come to clean it. We come here every so often and have not had a bad experience. I don’t know what it is about their salad but it is the BEST salad!

    We really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and our waiter Henry, was cool! He suggested that I surprise my hubby with a free dessert for his birthday and he totally pulled it off! It was totally great and he appreciated it.he didn't even charge us for the wine samples we tried☺️👍🏽. We only had soup and salad but it was great! We will definitely return whenever we come back to Ft. Lauderdale.

    Olive Harden is a food chain that I lkle. I tried the Five Cheese Ziti this time around, it was okay. Loving the free salad and bread sticks as always. The staff was pleasant, including our server Dominic.

    Wonderful experience! I went out with a friend and we both ate very cheap. The waitress did not treat us any differently at all, and infact treated us more wonderfully than most waitresses I've seen lately. Above and beyond service and the appetizers we got to eat were spectacular. Love the bread sticks, too

    Our server at this location, Christine S, was amazing! Very polite and attentive! I will ask for her next time we go back. I highly recommend the spiked strawberry lemonade and all the vegan items. The never-ending breadsticks, soup, and salad (hold the croutons and dressing) with olive and vinegar are very satisfying and reasonably priced. Perfect date spot for vegans or vegetarians who are tired of vegan burgers and tacos and don't want to drive far.

    Food stale. Bread hard as my tooth . Broccoli spoiled— look at picture. It’s not burnt. Waitress never came to ask how meal was. Never gave 0 tip before but first time for everything. The smell when you walk in , smells like nursing home

    Fantastic service from our server. The food looked good on the plates. The waitress came over to see us often. Olive Garden has consistently been a great option. It's not a good idea to consume all of the breadsticks before the dinner is served, and the soups are consistently delicious. The waitress was excellent! Outstanding assistance. I really enjoyed my shake!

    My waitress was amazing! This was one of the best experiences I have had at an olive garden in a really long time. If I was to get the same waitress again it would probably be worth it to drive out of the way to eat at this olive garden vs the one that's closer to my house.

    Great service, the waitress was very good. The food was average. But it hit the spot. The atmosphere was nice. I was with a great group of people. It's not bad for a quick bite with low expectations. I did buy a cheese grater for 7 dollars. It works great...

    My family ate here on Father’s Day. Our waiter was amazing!!! Her name was Mona. She took good care of us was very sweet the whole time. Basically it was like she was my mom. She knew what I wanted and we didn’t enjoy the food as much as I would like but the service was too notch! She deserve a bonus!!0

    It was Father's Day, and I totally anticipated long waits. We were seated right away, and the waitress Sophia was very attentive. Every worker that walked by asked us if everything was OK. The food was super delicious. We truly could not complain.

    I loved our customer service by server, Payton at Olive Garden at 807 S. University. He was very attentive and even when one order was incorrect he fixed the check.

    Great place, food and experience. Our waitress was so kind to us, we loved her.

  • 5/5 Heather W. 1 year ago on Google
    We went just for salad and breadsticks. They were delicious. We are vegan and haven't been in a long time. We know the options are limited. There are more option too but we kept it simple and light. We also got the spiked strawberry lemonade. 160 calories. It was so good. The amazing staff member Christine recommended it. She was super attentive and helpful. There was no wait at this time and everyone was a pleasure. I forgot how nice it is to go here.

    Apon arriving for the first time at olive garden, I was welcomed by a scenic walk to the front door. Neatly kep flower beds and shrubbery guided me to the entrance. There were benches along the walk, however they would be paid no mind due to the courtesy of the very miniscule wait period the friendly gentlemen Carlito informed me of. The whole team we're in good spirits as they worked hard to carry the name of the restaurant on there shirts. The dim lit lights provided a comfy and relaxing mood. We were sat and promptly greeted by server Kylie, her huge beautiful smile assured me I was in good hands. Ordering was simple and her empathy went along way. Food was delivered before we knew it. Delicious and filling tasting of true perfection and genuine quality. The hole experience was beautiful and it was an honor to be a guest here tonight. If your looking for premium costumer service, good prices, great food and a night u won't forget, come to olive garden today. -a sincerely great full satisfied guest Thank you to the team and the management here. -Peter- 🌹

    Lovely atmosphere, and delicious food. We got the 'Tour de Italy' which included lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and Fettuccine Alfredo. Our waitress Tiffany was quick making sure our juice glasses and bread sticks were never empty. When we told her about special requests, dislikes etc concerning the salad she made sure to address the requests quickly and have our new salad out within minutes. A wonderful experience in serving will come again!

    I ordered curbside to-go/ take out. Once I arrived at the specified pick up time and let them know that I was there. A few minutes later my food was brought out. The order was accurate and hot. Also, the to-go attendants were well-mannered and courteous.

    This Olive Garden was exceptional. We sat at the bar this service was amazing. Danielle was one of the most attentive bartenders/servers that I have encountered. She even gave us two minestrone soups to go for free. The food has always been excellent it is our favorite place to go.

    Haven’t had Olive Garden for awhile and as I walking up to the door I was reminded of how great they can be when the host opened the door for me and I was greeted with a smile. I went straight to the bar because it was 9pm and I knew they were closing in an hour. I just wanted some lasagna so I could be in and out. I sat down and I saw two bartenders focused on closing and stocking: Mona and Ricky. Mona eventually turned around and asked if she could help me. Didn’t offer me menus; suggest a cocktail; so I politely asked for a menu. As I’m looking at the menu I hear a server apologizing for ringing in a drink order and Mona says “I just want to go home”. Man I felt uncomfortable and probably should of just left at that point. I placed my order and my salad comes out which could feed 3-4 people; I get it she doesn’t want to offer me refills. Anyway not a big deal but didn’t offer any cheese or cracked pepper which is an OG standard. As I’m eating my salad a team member walks up to the bar and asks the bartender for a Pineapple juice which they give to him and he sits down and drinks the juice. Maybe he paid for it but doubt it. Still haven’t seen a manager at this point. My lasagna comes out and is just warm. At this point I ask for cheese and Mona gets me some. I eat my food; no two bite check back, only when I’m almost completely finished I was I checked on. I totally get wanting to get out but take care of your guests and give some effort. Hit your steps of service make conversation while you are cleaning; don’t make your guest feel like a burden. This type of service I expect from Darden which has the highest service standards in their restaurant’s. If I would of came at 5 min till closing it would be one thing but 1 hour before is not ok. The bar had Liquor bottles and syrups on top of the bar as well. The host thanked me with a smile on the way out. 100% for the Thursday Night Blonde Host! I’ll be back but will have to make it during 5pm next time.
