Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Middletown, OH

No line no wait at 7:45 on a Saturday! Great! Except we were told the kitchen is running an hour and a half, so they could seat... us but it would be an hour and a half wait for food. We obviously went elsewhere...and now I wonder if that was what they werehoping for anyway... Read more

What a wonderful experience! Hunter was a great server. We found out he had only been there a week. We made sure to tip him 100... percent and we encourage everyone else to do this too! ???? Read more

I just wanted to share what a great experience we had with Olive Garden catering when my father in law passed. They were on... time, set up everything including silverware, plates and serving utensils. The food was hot when we arrived and so delicious.Many compliments from guests. I would highly recommend them to cater a special event. They help remove some of the stress whenfeeding a large crowd. Read more

I have not had problems at this location before. However, I feel as if this needs to be shared. On Labor Day (9/5/2022), my... girlfriend and I stopped in and decided to have some dinner. We walked in and only had to wait a short time before we sat down.We were sat and given our drinks by the hostess and greeted by one of the other servers (name unknown). She took our soup andsalad order and shortly after our main server (Laney) came over and took our main order. She was already abrupt with us andwanted to know what we wanted right away. We both happened to know what we wanted, but I felt rushed. We also wanted to ordersome beverages with alcohol (I am 21 and my girlfriend is 22). She then proceeded to ask in a condescending tone "You got ID?".We both showed her and after looking at my girlfriends ID, she threw it back onto the table at my girlfriend. I then proceededto show her mine and she said "What do you want?" in again, a condescending manner. We put our food orders in and she said to us"you are throwing too much information at me all at once. Take in mind, she was not writing anything down. We then got ourdrinks and mine was pouring over the side. While they were still good drinks and our food was good and hot, all in all I thinkour experience felt rushed and our server wanted nothing to do with us. She was not nice or charismatic and it felt like weburdened her with our business. What bothered me the most is that she was being nice to every other table she served, but wasrude to us. I hope she realizes that a simple smile and a good attitude can take you far when it comes to giving services. Read more

We had lunch with a large group of 12 on a Saturday. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was good; standard OG... fare. Pricing was a little high for lunch. We will split some entrees next time because there are no lunch portion options onSaturday. Read more

Our group of 12 fellow castmates had finished the first of two shows at La Comedia dinner theater, and needed a place to grab... lunch before the evening call time. Although we failed to make a prior reservation, the staff got a section put together for usvery quickly. Trinity and Nathan were our "dynamic duo" of servers! We were feted to the best service; drinks were neverlacking, the salad bowls and breadstick baskets were always full, and they mafe sure every one of our orders were correct. Always and at all times did they share a smiling, jovial professionalism when dealing with us. The food was as excellent as theservice! I had the Shrimp Fettuccine and enjoyed a generous amount of plump, tasy shrimp in a light and savory FettuccineAlfredo. Everyone in our party was able to relax and enjoy the time together, and never wanted for anything as Trinity andNathan anticipated our needs for refills and a few take-home "doggie bags". I have to admit that I haven't been to Olive Gardenfor a few years; after Sunday's visit, however, I will be making plans for more return visits to this very well runestablishment! And we will certainly ask to be seated in Trinity's or Nathan's section! Read more

Last night my husband and I went on a date to this Olive Garden in Middletown, Ohio. We had the pleasure of having Chad as our... waiter. He told us that they were short staffed. To be honest, we couldn’t tell they were short staffed because the servicewas AMAZING. Chad was attentive and so polite. Chad gave us recommendations for our food and he knew the menu very well. It hadbeen a while since we went to Olive Garden because the last time wasn’t as good of an experience. After last night, we willdefinitely be coming back and asking for Chad specifically. HIGHLY recommend eating here. Read more

We came in at 9:20 last night (Sunday) & me and my boyfriend had the BEST service & food! I can not say enough good things about... last night. The food was fast & our server anticipated every single one of our needs. She stole the words out of my mouth. Icouldn’t pick between two entrees so the server helped & I couldn’t be happier because the dish I go was SO FRESH ANDDELICIOUS. I’m so pleased and happy with our experience. I wanna come back all the time to this location. Read more
