Decline of Olive Garden
Olive Garden appears to be as busy as ever this season but their food has been disappointing in my opinion. I'll concede that the cost of eating there is less than Red Lobster, Bonefish, or Carrabbas, but it's a shame to watch one of TV's popular restaurants decline. You wonder if the larger chain restaurants have any quality control in place or do they simply wait until business falls off significantly before looking for the problem. Of course, the consensus here may be that OG is as good as it ever was. Just curious if anyone else has observed a similar decline for Olive Garden?

Have you taken the opportunity to discuss this with the restaurant's General Manager about your issue? We have always found her willing to meet with and speak to customers and to remedy any problem brought to her attention.

We were there last week & I thought it was delicious. Maybe someone had an off night. Not really a good excuse, but it happens.

We went last week to the OG in our southern residence and the salad and breadsticks were very disappointing. Maybe changed to save money. We enjoy OG most of the time both here at the Villages.

It is difficult to express an opinion unless you can compare. Specifically what meal did you have and what is it that you didn't like? The pasta too pastey sauce had no taste meat too rubbery, etc.

Odd comparisen
I find it odd that you are comparing food to pornography. Would never have crossed my mind to think like that. It's a little unnerving. JMHO

Rubicon, If you don't know mediocre food when you eat it, I can't help you, and yes taste is always subjective. And yes I vote for restaurants with my feet. If I don't care for the food, I don't go back. Not every situation requires that you involve restaurant management. |
Not to worry gryoung, I immediately recognized and understood your �I know it when I see it� reference. And yes folks....the term �I know it when I see it� IS a very well known historical quote about pornography.
Anyway, I agree that we can perceive a decline in quality and/or service without having a specific example to state or complain about. Unfortunately, those kinds of general observations don�t seem to go over well here, not when it comes to restaraunts anyway. |
Olive Garden
Hi all....I love olive garden! Sorry but always have...can't help eating those bottomless salad bowls

My complaint about Olive Garden is them NOT offering their Garden Fare menu to the general public along with their regular menu. Garden Fare is a menu of healthier choices, however, Olive Garden does not offer it to the customers with the regular menu. If you don't know about it, you have to ask for it because they keep the Garden Fare menu next to the check in desk near the front door where you enter. In this day and age when many of us are looking for healthier meal choices and most restaurants are providing nutritional values on their menus, Olive Garden is in my Hall of Shame for not providing their Garden Fare menu for health conscious customers without having to ask for it.
