Olive Garden has chefs that must have come from all over Italy because the food and your surroundings sure make you feel like you're actually in Italy! But you should avoid dinner on Fridays and Saturdays because they are crowded! It feels stuffy in there because a lot of people are waiting and the steam is coming from the kitchen. I would even suggest going across the shopping mall to Starbucks or Baskin Robins for a quick treat and some fresh air until you have been gone for twenty minutes. Trust me, you might want to! But once you get to the dining area, it feels as relaxing as if you have opened the freezer door at home on a hot summer day after you have been running! The breadsticks are good and fresh, not like the ones you buy at Winco then pop in the oven! The Ravioli and Pasta are hot and fresh! The drinks are cool and relaxing to your mouth after being in that hot waiting room unless you needed to order a drink there. The cakes and special ice creams for dessert make your mouth water just looking at them! If you are looking for someplace to spend a birthday, this is the place I would recommend to go to if you are not shy.
Pros: Food
Cons: Parking, waiting
