Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Affton, MO

We came in to the restaurant around 7. Right after getting there a large party came in (I believe a soccer team, or some kind... of game). We were seated at the same time as them. Our names were called, and then theirs immediately after. I'm not sure ifit was due to the large party, but our dinner was very, very rushed. We ordered our drinks, and our waiter seemed to want usto order right then as well. We knew what we wanted so we did. We all 3 ordered the endless pasta. And asked for extratoppings and salad dressing for our salads. The salad came out without the extras, and when we were asked if we wanted cheese, we said yes, and only a small amount was added. (Normally they ask for us to say "when"). I had to ask for extra dressing tobe brought out, for a second time. We had not hardly began to eat our salad and our food was already brought out, less than 5bites. This was bad for 2 reasons, we didn't get to enjoy our salads without feeling rushed or before table becameovercrowded, and our food got cold as we tried to eat a little salad before starting on our entrees. Then when we tried toorder refills on the never ending pasta, we felt judged for it by the server. Two of us just stopped there, because of this. We also asked for more bread sticks (there were 3 of us and a young child) and we were informed by server that we still had 2.Very demeaning. I then asked for a refill of my drink and the server took my glass, but did not return it. He was busy helpingother tables, so I had to finally flag him down to inquire about my drink. He then brought it to me, claiming it needed to bechanged. I understand that may have happened, but it would have been nice to be informed, and to get it without having to ask10 minutes later. Overall, this was just not a good experience. I do think the party may have partly been the cause, but I donot think we should have had to suffer because of this. Read more

Nine of us shared a delightful culinary experience. As we were told, lack of employees delayed the arrival of the food a bit,... but no one noticed as conversation was lively and spirited. Our server lady made several suggestions which were accepted andproved to be spot on & tasty. The garden is to be recommended, and not just for it's olives. Read more

Order curbside togo they didn't put the lid on my soup and threw chocolate mints in on top so needless to say by the time I got... home I had a nice mess all over my backseat. Soup and chocolate everywhere. The liquid from the soup caused the bad to rip andspill stuff everywhere!! That $100 meal cost me $125 to clean my back seat Read more

My family and I had an excellent visit here. After leaving a horrible restaurant experience without eating, our party of 25... arrived at this location. Upon arrival the staff was courteous, pleasant, helpful and demonstrated that they wanted to doanything in their power to meet our needs. On very short notice they provided us with a private dining area within 15 minutes ofour arrival! The staff was prompt, patient, and took their time with us. Based o. The service alone this is a go to restaurantthat provides reliable and prompt service with a smile. Would recommend to anyone! Read more

The waitress was excellent. She was patient, considerate, friendly and her people skills awesome. The food was delicious. The... only draw back was my soup was warm not hot like I like it. The waitress decorated my birthday dessert plate with Happy birthdayin chocolate and sprinkles. Read more

The food was not tasty. My lasagna was old and the noodles were burnt under the bottom. The shrimp and chicken carbonara was... dry, like it was pre made and had been just sitting. Soup was good but not hot. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed, requestednapkins 4 times. Usually a satisfying experience. Read more
