Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in San Diego, CA

Unless you want to wait over an hour in the parking lot to receive your order (only for 2 people), avoid this location at all... costs! Also, after waiting for an hour, they forgot half of the order!! Had to drive back for a soup & salad! The order wascomped, but not worth 2 hours out of our night for subpar, barely warm food.

Last time we were here it was over an hour for our food once we got it had to get to go boxes and leave. This time walked in... it’s an hour and a half wait go to see how long a Togo order was and three people make eye contact with me but don’t say athing. Finally a guy asked if I needed something. Togo order was still 40 minute wait. Disappointed in the staff mostly. Noacknowledgement which is the worst for customer service. Don’t think I’ll be coming back here Read more

Personally my wife and I drive to this olive garden for 3 reasons … 1. It usually isnt too busy, the most we have waited is 15... minutes max 2.the service is always good. 3.the food is consistent in flavor every single way . Overall this is a good spot tocome to for a little date night or just because! Try out this location! Read more

Service was great I enjoyed myself food great kept my breads coming lol salad delicious

Amazing dishes! The gluten free pasta with the meat sauce is incredible! And the stuff was amazing too. HOWEVER, for gluten free... please notice - They don't have any starters or deserts which are gluten free. In addition - there is a mismatch in some menusthat claim that *one of the soups there is gluten free while it is NOT by the chef and by the main menu*. I saw this dish ingluten free forums and it is important to me tion that it is NOT GF. I hope that the restaurant will fix it soon. Read more

The waiter was great at first, he attended us well. I ordered the never ending soup and salad. As I finish with my first soup.... He never came back to see if I wanted more. Even though I made eye contact. He was more willing to attend a family of six. Iwaited for another five minutes and nothing. I just paid, and left. The never ending soup ended with only one. I know he was notbusy as he was only attending my table and the table of six. And as he took the other table's order he did not come to check onme. Worst service ever . Do not recommend this particular restaurant Read more

I've been to this Olive Garden location only twice, but each time it was such a pleasant experience because of the service. At... the door the hosts were attentive and courteous, and since I wanted to sit quickly I opted to sit at the bar area. Thebartender both times (each time a different one) was so attentive, courteous, fast, and very pleasant. If you leave Sea Worldand you're hungry because you didn't eat their ridiculously expensive food, I recommend you head to this Olive Garden. Read more

We were starving after the Sunset Cruise we just took. There were so many choices and we couldn't decide where to go. So we... ended up at Olive Garden, knowing we would at least have decent food (since we've had Olive Garden many times before). Thisparticular location was closing in 25 mins and they seated us right away. The food was good (although the shrimp scampi couldhave been a little bit more "scampier", if that makes sense lol). The bread sticks are always yummmmmmy especially with theAlfredo dipping sauce. Our server Dereka (sp?) was the BEST! She was very attentive, funny and gave us the best customerservice. Definitely one of the best servers we have EVER had!! She deserves a gold star ?! Read more
