Olive Garden - Santee

The food is excellent, as usual. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is just right.

We both ordered the Tour of Italy; I paired mine with a salad while my husband chose the Zuppa Tuscana soup. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. However, there were some delays with the breadsticks as they took longer than expected in the oven. Initially, they also forgot to bring us silverware and our breadsticks, but the manager, Daniel, stopped by to check on us and promptly brought those items. My husband requested water and additional breadsticks, but it took a while for that to arrive. Our server, Brandi, was very apologetic and brought us fresh breadsticks along with a glass of water for my husband. Throughout our meal, several managers checked in to ensure we were satisfied and taken care of, even assisting with a minor issue related to the tablet. Brandi was a fantastic server; she went out of her way to help us navigate the Ziosk tablet for our digital gift card payment. She was incredibly friendly and did her utmost to ensure we had a great experience. Overall, despite a few hiccups, we had a lovely dinner.

The food has always been fantastic here, but it's not quite the same in recent years. Prices have risen, and the service is noticeably slower than it used to be. I would still recommend it, but not consistently.

We always come here for a low-key lunch or dinner! Staff is always professional and amazing! Food is always hot and tasty. You also can't beat the price of unlimited soup, salad bread sticks for 10 bucks! It's become cheaper to eat at Olive Garden than anywhere else even fast food but this lady isn't complaining! Gives me an excuse to splurge on a sit-down place without emptying the bank.

The place was crowded but the Staff managed to give great service with a big smile on their faces. Food was great and also all the employees were kind and courteous. I'm definitely coming back to this location
