    I had seafood Alfredo it was delicious. We had the Cheese ziti and steak and fettuccine. The bread sticks were great. We received all you can eat salad and breadsticks service was excellent our server was very knowledgeable. We just overall enjoyed the whole dinner.

    Simply amazing. Very calm place to have dinner with family, colleagues or a date. The food is wonderful great taste and the service is great! The only reason we put four starts is because they forgot one of our dishes :-( even so, our waiter was super nice :-) and even gave us a free dessert as a compensation for our wait, over all it’s a great place. 👍🏼👍🏼

    The food was nice and the waiter was accommodating to changing my order after finding hair on my plate, but the interaction with the manager was completely unprofessional on her end. I asked her a basic question, but she shouted at us in front of the whole restaurant. This is my last visit. And if that's not enough the waiter was refusing to make me a simple drink that I wanted which was completely unnecessary for him to react the way he did...so out of character.

    There was no wait on a Friday night around 7PM, so we were seated promptly. Our server was GREAT! She made great suggestions and was fast to meet out needs. We started out with fried ravioli and we each ordered lasagna. My granddaughter had a virgin strawberry daquerie and I had an apple sangria, which was delicious. The salad and breadsticks were great of course. We ordered desert - chocolate brownie layer cake and a strawberry cream cake. Everything about the experience was perfect, except I thought it was a bit overpriced. I know everything is going up, but $18 for a slice of lasagna is a bit much. Had a good time and would go back again, but maybe order a bit more on the cheap side with just water and no drinks or dessert. 👍🏼⭐👍🏼⭐👍🏼⭐👍🏼⭐

    Sarah was patient with us and generous with the cheese. I like how you can pay on the device right at the table at the end

    Whole family did the $14.99 never ending pasta bowl with never ending soup and bread! Everyone loved it and service was very friendly, they gave my sister free desert for her birthday and even sang for her. They continue great service that it lost in most other places! Great experience at a great price!

    The experience was amazing, my server was from my hometown in Louisiana and it made the experience so much better being able to relate to her in that way. She was hilarious and attentive. I would absolutely hire her to work at my restaurant.

    It was a great experience, we evan had a new server, Bee, and she and her team did an outstanding job!

  • 5/5 Christine S. 10 months ago on Google
    Morgan was our server tonight and she was absolutely fantastic! She made our dinner truly special, even on a busy night. 15/10 would go back just for Morgan, Olive Garden should give her a raise because THAT is how service should be 🤌👌

  • 5/5 Hayley Z. 11 months ago on Google
    Celebrated my 42 birthday there. Food was amazing. Josh was a wonderful server. The atmosphere could've been better. The women's bathroom is in serious need of an update. The restaurant felt dated.

  • 5/5 Val Jesus V. 1 year ago on Google
    Late night dinner decision! We had the best service ever with very attentive staff at the end of the night. Stuffed Ziti Fritta and the spinach dip to start…followed by AYCE Zappa Tuscana soup and salad for me. My family ordered chicken tortellini and the seafood Alfredo and I may have stolen off of their plates. Everything was so delicious washed down with the Raspberry Lemonade. We had planned on the Strawberry Cake dessert but we just ate too much we had to cancel that. We had 4 to go containers!!

    Olive Garden is our favorite 😍 and tonight they dis not disappoint. Even though it was kinda busy we were sitted fairly quick less than 15min. The server was on point, patient and professional 👌 made great suggestions, we were treated like it was our 1st time, and actually at this particular location it was. The food came out timely(very shortley) after our soup and bread was served. The server was busy but still very attentive too us Thank you Dashun. 😊 would have really give the atmosphere a 5 but the party next to us was very loud, it did really did matter everything else was Great! Hi-five 72nd St Olive Garden.

    We wanted dinner from a place that normal gets it right the 1st time. And as usual, they did not disappoint. There were 3 host at the front and sat us down fairly quick. The waiter was prompt and fast. Food was hot and our waiter was on point. However, the rest room was disgusting. A simple restoom check ever few hours would help.

    Decided to order takeout rather than dine in for Mother's day (good idea since it was crazy busy). Food was delicious! Whole order was correct & still hot, even though it was a busy day for them. Picking up our order was also very quick and easy.

  • 5/5 Lynx C. 10 months ago on Google
    Seated quickly. Food great. Soup great. Drink... Too sugary. Not gonna order the spiked lemonade again. Service was aggressively efficient. Efficient good. Aggressively efficient... less good. Almost like they were on 1.5x working speed. Shrimp Scampi, minestrone soup, spiked lemonade, BREAD STICKS.

    I love olive garden Italian restaurants, but it was my first time at the Tacoma restaurant and still it was amazing. I loved the ambience, the food was amazing and the service was great. Olive garden anytime for me.

    Had another fantastic time at Olive Garden for a family birthday. Great food. Great service.

  • 5/5 Emma T. 2 years ago on Google
    Came to this Olive Garden with my mom for lunch! We expected to wait because we came right during the lunch rush and this a popular place. We were quoted a 15 minute wait time when the To-Go hostess offered to start serving so we could have a seat. Her name was Rena and not only was that an awesome show of customer service, but she was a great server! Really friendly, fast and just overall made a casual lunch a great experience! Thank you so much Rena, you rock! Totally made my day.

    Very busy because it was Valentines Day weekend. We were able to grab a table in the bar area for dinner which was perfect because that is where we like to eat. Service was great. Food was even better and the waitress was awesome. Still my favorite place to go!!!

  • 4/5 Tiffany A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great customer service! Food was great! Didn't wait too long for our food; only about 10 minutes. However, the prices have increased. About $3-$4.00 more on average per meal. With the way everything is now though, I can't complain about the restaurant itself.

  • 5/5 jim n. 2 years ago on Google
    I know this is a National chain but the crew that runs this one is doing something extra. Good people working here, never have to wait too long for a seat even when it’s busy. They are back at full capacity. Kid friendly and quality all around. I appreciate the effort the staff put in. I recommend the tour of Italy with a starter soup and salad.

  • 5/5 Creighton B. 2 years ago on Google
    Always Awesome! This was our first time at this location, but it was just as good as all others we've visited (across the country!) Our food is always ready when expected (Curbside online order), and usually a bit early. Associates are always friendly bringing the food out, and the food is always hot. We'll continue to return.
