Olive Garden Italian - Spanish Fort

Ordered to go and a very nice waitress brought it out to my car and everything was perfect! Had to drive 30 minutes back home smelling the wonderful meal, mouth watering, even after the drive everything tasted fantastic

About the best dining experience we have ever had. I felt like we walked into a Tuscan home and had lunch. The best tasting salad and the soups were outstanding. Perfection!

We stopped in for lunch. As we approached the hostess stand, we noticed a few folks waiting for a table. We considered sitting at the bar, however, most all the seats that were available had dirty dishes and had not been bussed. We asked for a table and was told 5 min wait, sure, Why not! Turns out it was between 10 and 15. As we were escorted to our table, it was apparent that lack of buss staff was the issue. And some of the wait staff were willing to buss tables, some were not. The host apologized for the wait and when we mentioned the lack of buss service, she said they were shorthanded, and that sometimes, even the manager would buss a table. Once seated, our wait staff was prompt, knowledgeable and very attentive. we had asked for extra olives in the salad, and were pleased to receive the extra! We’ll be back, food is good and nice portions. I do think they need some additional staff or leadership needs to work with the wait staff and bartenders to set the expectation that bussing tables is part of the job.

The breadsticks were a little hard, there was way to much mushroom sauce on a plate of pasta, also how do you run out of marinara at an Olive Garden? Also I know we are in a time of severe inflation but I do not remember it being so expensive! $21 for a small plate of ravioli? For 2 teas, 1 kids meal, 2 plates of adult food was $60! Not saying I wouldn't go back but it will be a once in awhile treat kind of meal.

Food good. Service OK. Waited too long for refills on soup and salad. This was pre dinner rush so I wish I could say that might have had something to do with it... Will come back though!
