Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Menifee, CA
Great to go on a weekday evening. Our server Karyn was very helpful and attentive all throughout our dinner. She was... knowledgeable and helped us choose some wine for the night with some tasters. We didn't have to wait very long for anythingafter being seated tonight which is a nice contact to other nights where we've had to wait a bit to get our plates out. Knowingwhen to time things makes a difference on services so that wait staff can accommodate the guests needs adequately. We hadnever-ending pasta, soup, salad, bread sticks, and dessert with ours drinks, some wine and a mixed drink. We never had to waitfor service or refills, Karyn was right there to check in before we could worry about anything whatsoever. One downside wouldbe that additional vegetables for your never-ending pasta is actually an extra charge we weren't aware of but is offered whileordering. For amount of vegetables however it may be worth it to get depending on the tastes of the individual. Fair warning, ifyou get asparagus it is chopped into smaller (bite size for the pasta) portions and blanched so for sensitive palates it maycome off as too undercooked and bitter. I do wish they had grilled or sauteed as an option but I found it alright since I enjoya fresher crisper veggie but my friend dining with does not. Overall everything was fresh and cooked well, definitely satisfyingfor a night out with your housemates. Read more
Stopped by for a quick dinner. And my spaghetti and meatballs came out fast noodles were cooked very good meat sauce was good... but the meatballs were not that good ( frozen ). Salad was okay. ( needed more veggies ). The breadsticks were good and so werethe fried mozzarella but they never refilled my drink. My waitress was friendly and it was very clean inside therestaurant Read more

My family had been craving Olive Garden for a while but it was alright. This location has only been open for a couple months.... When we arrived at 7pm on a Friday it was a two hour wait for 8 people. It ended up only being an hour though. New, gorgeousinside and out. I understand they are new and it was a busy Friday night but the service was not that great. The girls were nicebut they forgot my brother's drink all together, and then they only brought half the food out at once. Half of us got the Tourof Italy but two of them looked a little dry and then the rest of our party had to wait like 15 more minutes for food. It was mysister's birthday. They had at least 6 people sing happy birthday to another party but when they sang to my sister it was onlyone waitress and they gave her dessert in a to go container. It was a mess. The only outstanding thing was that they made mysister's drink, an Italian Margarita, extra strong for her birthday and she thought it was really good. Read more
New location on Newport Rd. & Calle Tomas next to Wendy's. We went during busy dinner time, had to wait long (about 1 hr)... we... went with that in mind so we didn't mind waiting to be seated. Service was great despite how busy it was, staff still managed tobe attentive. Restaurant is clean, plenty of parking. Food was amazing with great presentation, fresh and delicious with thatunique Olive Garden taste. Overall I was very satisfied with their service so far. Read more
Good was delicious, wait was a bit longer than expected to get a table and for the meals. Appetizers were fast. Be prepared to... wait but it'll be worth the wait! Nice servers. Read more
Looks great. Service was phenomenal. However the food was so bland. I don't think we will ever go again. My kiddos who love... pasta hated it. I got some chicken mushroom pasta and didn't end up eating it because it was so yucky tasting. The restrauntitself is very pretty and the waitress was very nice and understanding. Food definitely sucked.ducked. I did love thecalamari!!! That was good Read more
