Vincenzo’s Olive Tree - Lake Elsinore

The food was disappointing—soggy vegetables and poorly cooked pasta. Each time the busboys asked if we wanted takeout boxes, we declined, but we had to ask for our food to be taken away multiple times. The waitstaff seemed uninterested in addressing our concerns, claiming we waited too long to voice our dissatisfaction. By the end of the meal, more than half of our food was still untouched, and we had no desire to take it with us. The waitress left the bill without checking back in, and when we decided to leave, it felt like yet another affront. Just as we were about to pay, another waitress nearly pushed us aside to slam the menus down on the podium without so much as a word or any courtesy. As we were exiting, I turned and said, “Thank you! Come back! I hope you enjoyed your meal!” But we definitely won’t be returning.
