Best

unlimited breadsticks are great

Worst

Seattle must be lacking Italian residents. I mean the Olive Garden is OK but, cmon ! Top Ten ? I don't think so. People from New York would laugh themselves into fits if they read...

Watch your overcharged bill 8/26/2009

Friday (8/21/09) was our first time visting Olive Garden, for a dinner. Pros: cheap Cons: questionable service more

It's good food... 3/28/2009

I'm so sick of all you yuppies ripping on olive garden and any chain that you label "non authentic" Of course it's not authentic. Who cares... The obvious truth is, the majority likes the food they serve better than if it were truly authentic italian. It's good consistent food at a great price. I've been all over Italy, and would take olive garden before 90% of the places I've eaten at over there. If you're looking for a good meal at a great price, choose Olive garden. If you're one of those that cant distinguish between authentic and good food, go somewhere else and quit clogging up review boards with your negative comments. Pros: Fast, consistent, large portions Cons: none more

An Example of Poor Quality 1/3/2009

This was our first visit to the Olive Garden. A garden it is! Full of bad food and high prices cultivated over time by poor management. Pros: None Cons: Prices, Quality of Food more

too crowded 11/17/2006

I love Olive Garden but this location is alwys packed. No matter what night we go or at what time there is always a line out the door. If you are really craving those yummy breadsticks pull up a seat at the bar. You get great service and do not have to wait 40 minutes. more

Hot Food Bad Wine Bad Service Bad Value 12/29/2005

There was some confusion about where to seat our party of seven, so they sat us in front of the kitchen door. The tables and chairs from a defunct Denny's. The table location was impossibly noisy. $7 corked wine, my wife insisted I make them take back, except all of a sudden all the waiters and waitresses who were streaming past our table turned deaf, dumb and blind. I finally walked back to the hostess to send a floor manager to our table to assist us, and it still took five minutes for him to arrive. Food was hot, which rates a coup in Seattle. Seafood Portofino was served hot (good) thick white sauce (good not great) and vanishingly small quantities of mussels (6 tiny), shrimp (2 tiny) and scallops (2 teeny tiny). One ounce of seafood in total. $100 for four adults, and three kids who basically didn't eat. Pros: Hot Food Cons: Service, Wine, Value more

the restaurant is getting worse 12/4/2005

Last time my friends and I went there it was a disaster. My friends were wearing jeans, sweaters, T-shirts. We probably did not look that fancy and/or "time worth spending". We were seated in a back room with many tables, zero privacy. Our waiter offered a cheap terrible wine (He said "this wine is very good, it is only 5 dollars"). It seemed that the food was cooked that morning and then was warmed (we came at 8 pm). more

Olive Garden?!? 3/7/2003

This is NOT Italian food! Please, don't even waste our time by rating this with Assagio, Café Juanita, Isabella, etc. It should be in the same category with McDonald's/Taco Bell, in fact, they could probably drum up more biz if they installed drive-thru's! more

Non piacere!!! 12/31/2002

Are serious?? The Olive Garden? Dare I look at the best mexican ratings lest it says Taco Bell? Ugh. Come on Seattle, get a clue. Olive Garden could open up a franchise in Italy and it still wouldnt be Italian. Try Vicino or Mamma Melinas for god sakes! Cons: Its not Italian food! more

The biggest joke in Seattle!!! 11/29/2002

As an Italian-American, and having lived in Italy and studied the cuisine I would consider myself a good critic of Italian food. The olive garden is a horrible place where for $5.95 you can get all you can eat sewer waste. This place is a joke that thinks they are serving Italian food. I can assure you they are not. Their commercials insinuate that it's the place where Italian-Americans take their Italian relatives. I can assure you that the relatives would be thoroughly insulted if they were taken to the olive garden, and would never be heard from again. Pros: none Cons: too many to list more

This is fast food! 11/16/2002

Good grief what about Freemont Classic or Pasta Bella or the Pink Door. I'll have to remember to vote next time :). Pros: Cheapish, Get what you expect, Ubiquitous Cons: Ubiquitous, boring, bland more

gentrified and corporate 11/10/2002

price? imagine what they could charge if you they didn't spend millions on TV, radio and billboard ads, and opening more and more restaraunts. Good Italian food is easy. Do the right thing and stay at home and make fettucini alfredo if you can't go to the neighborhood place near you. Pros: gentrified, gentrified, gentrified Cons: gentrified, gentrified, gentrified more

Dumbed down food 10/25/2002

The McDonalds of Italian food. Absolutely awful. Completely unauthentic. Italian food for people that don't know what Italian food tastes like. more

Satisfies an Italian craving 10/13/2002

When I am in the mood for pasta and salad, I go to the Olive Garden. The salad is excellent...I could eat bowls and bowls of it. The pasta is 'okay' but satsifies a craving when I have it. I usually order the cheese stuffed ravioli. Nothing special, and a small portion, but with the unlimited salad it is worth it. The ambience is a little cheesy and "cheap" complete with plastic breadbaskets. Pros: unlimited salad, friendly staff Cons: small portions, a little bland more

Blender Italian Food 9/2/2002

"Track Style Restaurants" that pour over cooked pasta from plastic bags for the masses!! It's the "Frosted Flakes" of chain Italian restaurants. You always know where the bathroom is located at whether your in Las Vegas, to Tacoma, or Orlando. Bad food which would make any good Italian crawl under the bed and never come out! I guess if your on a bad road trip and need to eat pasta, it fits the need. Your always family, but, honestly I would divorce your self from this one!!!! Find a real Italian eatery. There's lot's of family run Italian restaurants that even on a bad day out shine the Olive Garden...Come on Seattle, you know there out there...even in Tacoma! Pros: Inexpensive, Bathroom location, Better than can food Cons: Blender Style pasta, Over crowded., Trys to be Italian. more

good value for the buck 8/14/2002

Depending on the time and day of the week, seating can be a wait. However, the food, service, and kid friendly servers make up for the inconvenience. The food is always served hot and is always flavorful and delicious. Pros: excellent value, great taste, good service Cons: crowded more
