Olive Garden Italian - Green Meadows

I met three friends at the Olive Garden on Dodge for lunch on a Sunday. We ordered the Soup Salad, the Ravioli Appetizer, the Lasagna entree the Create Your Own Pasta, Spaghetti Meatball. The Lasagna looked good and the friend who ordered it had no complaints. The Soup Salad was as we expected. The Ravioli Appetizer was as expected as well. However, the Spaghetti was watery and tasteless. We asked for half Marinara and half any cheese sauce (which was the Alfredo) and just one meatball. They up charged $2.29 for the half with Alfredo and one small Meatball was $1.79. That brought a small dish of watery Spaghetti to $17.57. Yikes! You could argue that a bread stick and Salad was included in that price but the Salad didn't look appetizing at all. The Ice Tea was a whopping $3.49. The bill for everything came to $76.57 and don't get me started on the at your table payment station which is noticably skewed towards a 20% tip. The service was passable, the server was perfunctory not pleasant and got a standard 15% tip added to the bill. Bringing the grand total to $87.65 for a modest, nothing to write home about lunch for four people. I was not wowed by anything that was served and very underwhelmed by something as simple as Spaghetti. I'm very likely not a returning customer as it is not a good value for the price and I would not recommend.

Always good and staff is friendly
