    Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara
    Darrin R.

    Table for 2 for Dinner We approached the restaurant and noticed they had an ample sized parking lot. I found a spot in front and we headed for the entrance. We entered and were greeted with a whisper. The hostess was very soft spoken. We advised that we were a party of two and were quickly led through the huge huge dining room to a perfect booth for two. We were provided menus and 2 different staff members came over to check on us. The second one was our actual server, Keyanna. We were quickly reviewing the beer options on the on table top electronic display. The selection was not that extensive. Wifey ordered a Modelo and I settled on a Peroni. Our server quickly returned with the beers and some waters. We were trying to pick out an entree and Wifey was really having a hard time with all the options. We asked Keyanna what was her favorite and she said she didn't really have one since she has been working there so long. We asked her a few more questions and she suggested the Tour of Italy for Wifey. It had a little bit of everything; chicken parmesan, lasagna and a fettuccine. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara. Both entrees came with a soup or salad and bread sticks. Wifey ordered the Zuppa Toscano soup and I just went with the salad, no tomatoes. The 1st course came out super fast. My salad was huge. Wifey's soup looked good and she really enjoyed it. We were finished with our soup and salad and were waiting around for our main dishes. Just as I was about to write things were slow, the entrees appeared. The portion sizes were huge. We started digging in. My carbonara could have used a little more seasoning and maybe a little more sauce. Wifey enjoyed her meal, but admitted it was also average. When we were done eating, ready to get some togo boxes and close out the check, our server was nowhere to be found. We waited and waited and she finally popped up. Overall, this was a very average visit with average food.

    Food was amazing but they take too long And there short staff so your not the only table they gotta worry about and I completely understand but it's just too much for my likening the inside was pretty and very decorative

    The salad was the best part of this meal and it took over 20mins for it to come out . our waiter was very sweet and nice. The restaurant was average as far as for how busy it was the noise level was extremely high because we were placed near a table with a family and lots of small children who were extremely loud.. Our food took forever to come out. My wine was poured and brought to me in a dirty glass with lipstick stains on it.. food was brought to our table that was not ours and sat down and I was telling them it wasn't mine. I didn't order it as soon as they realized the mixup they picked the plate up off of my table and took it to the proper table, which is disgusting. They should have apologized to the other table and we made the order even though I didn't touch the food. You don't do that. That's just disgusting.. slow service, long wait times, dirty dishes, but again my waiter was very sweet. I hope she finds another job because I'm sure the quality of of the restaurant is hurting her tips..

    Went on a Saturday in a group of 3. We all had the soup and salad as our meals. Service was ok considering it did not seem busy or perhaps we visited just after the lunch rush. When the waitress brought the salad bowl and soups and asked to say when to stop concerning the cheese, I told her keep going. I don't think she appreciated my humor because on my next soup, she said she had already added cheese to it. That's something new. She also was quick to say she didn't think we could get some red pepper flakes. Also, there was an error with the tip entered on a credit card payment, going from $10 to a $30 tip. That happening is also new to me. We did contact the manager who apologized and stated it would be credited within 3 days. As for the soup, I ordered zuppa toscana which had more of ham hock looking pieces than sausage and hardly any kale. I got a chance to try the minestrone and the veggies seemed fresh and tasty! The salad was tasty as well with plenty of olives.

    First time at this location. Holiday shopping brought me in for lunch. Getting it to go - Zuppa soup and salad. One of my favorites. As I walked in the mgr was walking by he asked if I was dining in or pick up. I confirmed it's pick up. He walked me over to the to go order cashier. There were 2 ppl there placing their orders. 2 cashiers on the post. Placed my order told it would be at least 20 min. The dining area was clean not too noisy although it was after 3. This location entrance is different from others I've frequented. I couldn't help but take a pic of the beautiful Xmas tree. The soup was popping hot and the salad was fresh. No brown lettuce As I stated it's my favorite soup here. The broth is seasoned just right. The potato's are firm and the kale is fresh. My order was ready within 20 min as quoted. That's a plus - great customer service!

    Endless salad but you have to ask for the next round.

    Just ate at this restaurant. Great alfredo sauce and should be sold in stores next to their Italian dressing. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, as well, including chicken marghettia, shrimp alfredo, and tour of Italy. The waitress started out nice and friendly but eventually started seeming slighted and started to disappear when we needed a request. She kept her composure, though. The restaurant itself was very chilly and the air was crisp. Guess that was to minimize the germs? This location was clean and has better reviews than the others.

    Maggot from the Alfredo.

    Let me start by saying my family loves Olive Garden; however, our experience today was the worst, from start to finish! We were seated by the tables near the bar, waited probably 30 minutes to even have our order taken. We didn't have water, silverware, nothing. After our orders were taken, we were brought salad by a woman wearing no masks while talking over the bowl as she's bringing it over. Now, I realize people are getting a little lax with Covid, but as a server, you should ABSOLUTELY have a mask on. The woman drops the salad off, and remember we have no plates, forks or drinks. My mother actually had to get up and go looking for silverware to bring back to the table. Next, the person working at the bar brings a drink for me and my daughter, then tells my mom they don't have Coke. She asks for a different drink, then it takes 20 minutes for her to get that. Now I will say that I empathize with the man at the bar because he is trying to cover a lot of tables on his own, but waiting another 20 minutes for a soda when we already have our salad is not right. Now for the finale, our food was finally brought out. My daughter had a kids meal, and she told me that there was a bug in her food. At first I honestly thought she was joking, but I picked it up, and sure enough there was a MAGGOT in her food. Alive. A live maggot. Our server sent the "manager" over (heavyset guy in a chefs uniform). My mother proceeds to show him the maggot in my childs food, explaining how unacceptable this is, and he says "okay." Oh really? Okay? This dude had the nerve to have a legit attitude that we were telling him about a maggot in their food. She then told him we were uncomfortable finishing our meals, and that we were leaving, and he shrugs shoulders like, so what... Anyway, I sent the photo to the DeKalb Health Department. Hopefully they rip this place apart and find everything that they should, because this place is unsanitary! We will never be back to this location. Disgusting and rude. 6/14/21- I wrote this review 18 days ago and someone from Olive Garden reached out to me. I was put in touch with the Director of Operations, who apologized and said he'd email my family a gift card for our horrible experience. Never received anything from them. I even sent a follow up email to this person and he never responded. It honestly isn't even about the gift card, but you should always follow through on what you say you're going to do. You're a class act, Olive Garden.

Reservations at 8, right on time. Walked in seated right away by the hostess. The standard server will be with you shortly here are your menus. Our waitress Summer had the timing down. Just as we figured out what we wanted from the drink menu she arrived. An old fashioned is our go to so two Seasonal Old Fashioned to start. We also ordered the baked Feta for appetizer. The interior is warm and open. Tables and chairs have plenty of room We sat overlooking the bar area (the bar is at a lower level). Only thing I would change is sitting at a table vs a High top. Drinks and appetizer arrived promptly. The baked feta was so good warm and creamy, tomatoes and seasoning provided depth. Summer provided the specials of the day as well as her thoughts on various entree. My wife originally was looking at a pasta w shrimp. Summer brought to our attention the pork chop - she said I know you think of how good can a pork chop be but ours is really amazing. So my wife changed her mind and went with the pork chop. I elected for the Red Fish atop orzo. Entrees arrived and wow they looked perfect. That pork chop was thick, nice crisp sear topped with apples ( sautéed perfectly not soggy). My red fish was well seasoned and tasted great. What amazed me was the spinach and tomato orzo! So creamy and subtle it complimented the fish so well. You can't have a Birthday without desert. Again Summer provided great recommendations and insights. Salted Caramel cheesecake for the birthday girl and I had the crème brûlée cheesecake cake. Both were very good not too dense and not fluff. The flavors were not overpowering so you enjoy the flies well as the taste of cheesecake. Price was what I expected, it's not bar food , priced appropriately. Remember I said reservations were at 8 ? They close at 9 and not once did we feel rushed. The staff, especially Summer treated us like the first customer of the evening. My wife digs the whole singing happy birthday , the dessert had the happy birthday message and Summer discreetly asked if she would like the happy Birthday song. They did, and looked like they had fun doing it. Awesome place we will definitely go back!

Yes, we had to ask for one when our food came, too. Our party of 12 had a variety of dishes, everyone seemed to enjoy their choice. The lasagna was nothing special, I make it better at home. Rolls? Sister Schubert. Not made in their kitchen. Had to ask twice for crushed red pepper & Parmesan. It's the little things that kill an established business. 5-star prices for 3-star food. Our bill for 4 people was almost $200. No alcohol. Maybe again, but not likely.

The pasta was made fresh and you could seriously taste the difference between fresh made and boxed pasta. The crème brûlée was on point and a great finish to lunch. I had plenty of left overs.
