Review of The Olive Garden Restaurant

This location is just beside Mall at Millenia and was surprisingly busy at lunchtime on a Tuesday when we visited. Despite being told it would be fifteen minutes for a table for two, we were seated almost immediately.

Our server was attentive and helpful throughout. Drinks and appetizers were brought out promptly and the famous bread sticks and salad lived up to their reputations. Luckily, the bread stick replenishment was slowed a little as a fresh batch was in the oven - no bad thing as they are positively addictive.

For starters we had a sampler of Calamari and Stuffed Mushrooms. The mushrooms were Stuffed with clams and cheese. Delicious. The Calamari was fine but unremarkable.

First of the entrees was the Tour of Italy - lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmesan. All tasty, but the fettuccine was the standout.

Next was the Lobster Shrimp Mac and cheese. Delicious, but very rich. Plenty of small Lobster pieces and a reasonable sprinkle of shrimp. Too much for me!

As was predictable, we had no room for dessert.

The bill was reasonable and we didn't need to eat again for the rest of the day!

It couldn't really be described as a gourmet experience, but this place is recommended. It's hard to see anyone except the pickiest diner being unable to find something to satisfy their cravings here.
