Olive Garden Review

About two years ago I made my first visit to the small town of Green Bay, Wisconsin. A place that my family and I found and enjoyed was the local Olive Garden. There are a variety of reasons why I love Olive Garden, but this particular one had something magical about it. The breadsticks are always one of the best things.

Olive Garden has plenty of parking spaces. It is in a complex with other stores so finding parking is never a problem. The parking area is also clean and free of trash. As we walked up to the restaurant the walk way is clean and the bushes are trimmed. You can tell- this particular Olive Garden had class!

The service is friendly, secondly only to In-N-Out Burger. When we walked up to the door one of the employees opened the door for us and greeted us with a smile. When we walked up to the hostess she greeted us with a smile and asked how many people want to be seated. We went to Olive Garden on a Tuesday for lunch so the place wasn't so busy but I know it could get extremely busy on a Friday or Saturday.

The hostess seated us right away and handed our menus. She told us our server would be with us soon. When our server came he gave us a nice greeted by asking us how we are doing today. He asked if we were interested in some wine (parents only) or soda. Then he told us about the pasta specials for the day. He asked us if we had any questions about the menu.  I asked him what he thought was the best thing on the menu. He proceeded to ask me what I liked. I told him chicken dishes. He then suggested the fettuccini alferdo. He then asked us if we wanted any appetizers. I asked him what was good. He suggested the calamari and mozzarella sticks. So we ordered the calamari. Basically, I just ordered what this guy thought was best.

The food was wonderful. The calamari tasted fresh and lip-smacking. It came with a spicy red sauce dip, which added nicely to the calamari. The entrees appeared attractive to the eye and tasted magnificent. I ordered the chicken fettuccini and it was fresh and creamy to the taste buds. It came with a white sauce that was drizzled all over the dish. The chicken was smooth and good. My brother ordered spaghetti and meatballs, which is always a good call. There were plenty of meatballs on the dish. Two people could share that dish. Both entrees came with salad. The salad was fresh and crisp. It has cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, onions and the Italian dressing. It was as if I was in Italy.

I thought the food and service was great. I would come back again and suggest the Olive Garden to others. It was a very special experience.
