Olive Garden Italian - Fayetteville

The meatballs at Olive Garden are consistently outstanding! I always judge an Italian restaurant based on the quality of their meatballs, and Olive Garden always impresses me. They are definitely at the top of my list!

The portion sizes at this restaurant are not worth the high prices. I ordered the chicken piccata and received very small pieces of chicken without any vegetables. My bill came out to almost $20, which I felt was a complete rip off. It seems like they want you to fill up on salad and bread so they can skimp on the main course. Personally, I don't eat a lot of bread and this is not a healthy practice. I will not be returning to this cheap place, as they are cheap in what they serve rather than their prices.

The service at this restaurant was fast, friendly, and efficient. From the moment we arrived and throughout the evening, everything was excellent. The hostess assisted us in finding our table and even opened the door for us to ensure we had comfortable seating. The bartender quickly brought us delicious drinks, and our waiter, Christian, truly enhanced our dining experience. It had been a long time since we had enjoyed such tasty food.

The dining experience was fantastic, but my server Brent was truly exceptional. He was one of the best servers I have ever had and one of the top in the industry! Brent made sure our drinks were always filled and verified there were no allergens in the food we ordered. He even went above and beyond to accommodate my limited diet restrictions. I give this place a perfect 10/10 rating, I love it!

My wife recommended this restaurant even though she wasn't a big fan, but I always enjoyed it. We both decided to try the shrimp sampler and were surprised to find it included a mix of small pieces of tomato and asparagus. We weren't very satisfied with the lack of flavor. The service, as usual, was good and the soup and salad were enjoyable.
