Olive Garden Minneapolis Brooklyn Park

My mom celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday. The entire staff was unbelievable. I’ve never been to a restaurant where everyone went out of their way to make everything perfect. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Thanks for making my mom’s day even more special!

We got seated right away. The food was hot and delicious. (Cheese ravioli and build your own pasta) All the staff were very friendly, professional and prompt at whatever task to ensure our needs were met while dining with them, especially our server Dakotah. Very pleasant experience all around.

Honestly I would say that Olive Garden has the best value to price ratio of sit-down restaurants right now. You get bottomless soup and breadsticks, and the entree portion sizes are quite good. The service is great, and the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. I would recommend going here at a less busy time as the wait times can get long.

Walked in and never greeted at the door. 4 people standing at the host stand and not one person even made eye contact with me. Mentioned I was going to sit at the bar and one person passingly said “have fun.” The refusal to make eye contact continued with the bartender. As I sat and ate, the takeout workers would slam a plastic basket on the bar every few minutes. As I left, 6 people were now at the host stand and none of them acknowledged me as I walked by.

We stopped in for dinner and our server Derrick was wonderful. Very upbeat, smiled the whole time and checked on us frequently. He brought refills without asking and he was a breath of fresh air and genuinely cared about our experience. We had an overall great experience!
