Went for a special occasion. Servers in the bar not helping each other so service was chaotic and “24 hour” style. Fast stops with no time for guest to answer the servers question before they walk off. Zero teamwork. Manager paying attention to to go orders and not the flow of the floor. Cold food, server advised but we had to specifically ask for reheat/replacement. The vegetables never came even well after we were finished eating our entrees. No pre bussing so we sat with dirty plates. No offer of dessert, again this was a special occasion so we wanted dessert. Ended up paying and leaving with full dirty table like the other guests around us. Servers need training, teamwork and leadership who knows how to see customers who are not getting appropriate service. We have been in 4 times this month, every time it’s not met the mark. Bring back Stacey or Michael who were phenomenal servers. Today was not a staffing issue, there were staff standing around. My advice, if you are going to pay $18 to $23 an entree go to a nicer Italian restaurant. Spaghetti Factory well exceeds this Olive Garden experience and is a way better guest value.

Under all the stress everyone is going through today and now coming out to a new normal, curb side is great. However living 45 minutes from the nearest OG is a little daunting when they don’t get the order right. The last 2 times I have ordered and picked up they have missed something whether the extra meatballs or the angel hair pasta instead of fettuccine, is no matter. I call and am told that we’ll take care of you, our manager will send you a gift certificate to your email. Well, no surprise, there’s never an email and never a gift certificate to at least pay for the things that I have already paid for and never received in my orders. I love OG it’s my go to place for Italian food I just ask you follow through with checking to make sure our orders are correct and fulfill the promise of correcting your mistake and not with just hot air. I have spent my money on this and expect to get everything that I paid for. Other than that food is always good and service is always great. Thank you for getting it right most of the time.

The app works alright UNLESS you want to use one of their online offers. I had problems on Cyber Monday and again today. It takes away the discount as soon as you submit your order and you get to pay full price at the restaurant. I tried to pay online to avoid this on the second go around, only it wouldn’t accept my payment! It said my card was “insufficient to cover the tax”. What? I tried different cards, it all said the same thing. I had a gift card applied, I tried to just pay the rest at the restaurant, it wouldn’t let me proceed. The only option not ghosted was the “Add credit card”, which it would not accept any. I took off my gift card, so I could pay at the restaurant, took pictures of all the screen shots in case I ran into trouble again. Sure enough, when I got my confirmation, discount gone. Confirmation email, no sign of discount. So over it. Something that is supposed to be a sales-inducing convenience is nothing more than a frustrating hassle followed by disappointment.
