Olive Garden - Cincinnati

We called ahead to check on the wait time and were told there was none. However, upon our arrival, we found a crowd of people who had somehow managed to sneak in during the 12 minutes it took us to drive there. Despite this, we only waited 8 minutes past the 10-minute estimated wait to be seated. Our server, Dakota, was new, and she made sure we received our drinks, bread, salad, and soup promptly. She candidly shared that the sudden influx of guests had momentarily stressed the staff, but she assured us that she would take great care of our needs. Dakota set our expectations well for the remainder of our meal and was very attentive to refills and suggestions for more bread or soup. While she did seem a bit flustered since it was her first dinner shift, we believe she will be a fantastic addition to your team. She did an excellent job. We visit regularly and have never left unhappy. The food is great, the service is wonderful, and the staff is excellent. You run a fantastic operation, and it’s clear that the local community recognizes this, given how busy you are on weekends. Thank you for another wonderful dinner experience, Dakota and Olive Garden. We’ll definitely be back in the near future.

Dinner for 4 on a Sunday. We arrived @2 after the lunch crowd and before dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had shrimp scampi it was heavy on the basil. I couldn't taste the garlic. My husband had the Italian platter and commented that he didn't think the lasagna was fresh as it was dry around the edges . Too full to eat dessert although I was tempted to order the tiramisu. Wait service was good with a fairly full dining area although slow in drink refills. Saw Lots of carry out while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right in front. Well placed ramps. Entrance all one level, no steps.The double doors may be a bit challenging for a lone person in a wheelchair. Host station is right in front as you enter so they may see you if having trouble with the doors . I don't remember if there was an automatic door button.
