Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Coon Rapids, MN

I have to give credit to the one who seated us and the manager, They were very friendly. But the waitress we had never bothered... to refill our waters. Or ask if we wanted a box to go. We felt rushed by her. She only came around once after she delivered arefood to ask if we knew how to use the table payment machine not acknowledging we were still trying to finish our food and wewere low on our waters. Why not just ask us to pay and get out. We were very friendly and polite but the waitress was not. Wegot our box after politely asking, payed the bill and left no tip. Read more

Highly disappointed tonight. We knew they would be busy with the All You Can Eat pasta but we waited 50 minutes from order time... to when food was on the table. We saw people sit down after us and get their meals within 20 minutes. We saw another table gettheir salad after they had finished their entrees. Food was decent, but I think it'll be awhile before we are back again. Read more

Service was great! Kid options were awesome! My daughter loved the Mac and cheese. They gave her drink in a nice cup with a lid... and straw. The minestrone soup was okay, it tasted slightly bitter. The Alfredo and 5 cheese marinara tasted great, but thepasta was a little over cooked. Read more

Ordered to go. Realized they forgot my drink after I left but since I was already gone, I decided to just leave it. Started... eating my seafood alfredo and realized the scallops was raw after I ate some. Read more

We went here for a birthday birthday lunch. We love the lunch menu. Manageable portions and reasonably priced. We even got a... free birthday dessert. The food was delicious and our server Chelsea was delightful. Read more

Food was very good and the service from Jessica G was outstanding! Ordered the Italian Rum Punch and a tall Screwdriver. The... punch does have a bit of a lime kick to it. Got our salad and breadsticks right after. Ordered lasagna and a build your ownpasta. I love angel hair, creamy mushroom sauce and meatballs. Everything was so good. I ordered my free birthday dessert, thestrawberry cream cake. Wish this was on the menu year round. It's like a milk cake, super moist and glorious! Jessica wrotehappy birthday on my plate with a fruit syrup too. Check out the pics! Had a great experience! Read more

Food was decent. The price has gone up substantially, or it's just been that long since I've been there. Service was a little... slow, especially since it wasn't that busy. Overall, I'm not disappointed in the visit, and it was made better because we had agift card. Read more

Had a birthday celebration here. Our server, Kayla informed us we could have a free dessert or appetizer for the occasion. We... were almost speechless since we rarely hear of a freebie like that. We chose the Calamari appetizer and we're rewarded withdelicious, tender squid with just a very light herbed breading. Extremely fresh and accompanied by a great aioli and marinara.Kayla was very attentive, funny, and knowledgeable. She did an outstanding job! The Shrimp Scampi was a much lighter versionwith asparagus, tomatoes, plump perfectly cooked shrimp, some angel hair pasta and a light lemony garlicky butter sauce. Veryhappy to have a lighter version of a classic on the menu. Our birthday guest chose the Grilled Chicken Margherita with tomatoes,and mozzarella. Was a little on the bland side. Could have been a little more exciting. Our guests loved their Tour of Italyentrees. The Fettuccine Alfredo was a little skimpy on the sauce but, otherwise tasty after a request for more sauce. Was apretty good meal wich was made much better by a great waitress! Well done! Read more
