I called ahead to see if i needed to place a reservation. The person i was talking to cattily replied, "uh, we don't take same-day reservations." so when i got there, it was dead. She could have just told me it wasn't busy but felt the need to be a complete and total jerk. So we ordered, and after a ridiculously long amount of time, we got our food--cold and congealed--and it was pretty much inedible. the waitress noticed our food was completely un-eaten...and yet she didn't offer anything or even ask if our meal tasted okay. basically everyone i came into contact with that worked there was inconsiderate and catty. don't go there. Really.

Great Waitress aweful food

by DVECTOR at Citysearch

My friend and I came in Aug 13, for my birthday. We were seated quickly and our waitress quickly introduced herself and gave us time to decide. The food was HORRIBLE!!! I got the taste of Italy and my friend had a seafood pasta. The pasta was SOOOO dry like it had been sitting out uncovered all day and the lasagna was burned on one side and mushy on the other. The waitress however, was so sweet and I had asked her not to sing happy birthday or make a scene, so she brought me a cake and whispered Happy Birthday,, her service made up for the TERRIBLE food. Thank you to the girl with short brown hair about 9pm 08-13-10 you made my birthday dinner nice I appreciate your amazing service.

When you're here, you're desperate for a good meal.

All of the Olive Garden restaurants are disgusting. This is about as Italian as Millie's burgers. There are no anchovies on the menu. There are no sardines. These fish are a mediteranean delight and their not even offered. If you enjoy eating around a large Mormon population who drink soda pop with their entree and if you enjoy having so called Italian food that tastes like the disgusting deli food offered at Smith's marketplace, then this is the place for you. I recommend that you go to Millie's burger and take along a C.D. player with the music of Dean Martin. The effect will be the same and you won't empty your pocketbook.

• Pros: Soft and fluffy "Charmin" toilet paper in the restroom.
• Cons: This is not REAL Italian food. Disgusting food.

New Year's Disaster!

by priscete at Citysearch

I went there with my husband for New Years. The server was probably new, and we had to keep reminding him to bring our drinks and bread. In the end, it sounded like he wanted us to leave ASAP so he could take the check. Horrible experience!!!!!!

Best of 2004??

I'm stunned that this made top of the list by readers. How generic. I recommend to your readers to get out a bit more and live. Kudos to the editors...at least they have taste, and class.
