Olive Garden Italian - Lake Oswego

Hello, my name is Justin and I work at this location. I found some of the comments amusing, but I assure you that we take great care of all our guests. Our restaurant is very clean, the service is personalized, and the food is excellent. Our managers frequently walk around and engage with everyone, and if you're not satisfied, they will make it right! I challenge you to leave feeling unhappy or still hungry—it's just not going to happen. We have fantastic servers, and I could go on. The main point is to ask for any of our great sections and enjoy a stress-free and wonderful dinner. And please, don’t compare Olive Garden to any food you had in Italy—that's just silly! We hope to see you at dinner time—come and chat with me!

This restaurant is a great option for a family dinner if you don’t feel like cooking. It’s not the right place for a sophisticated date, but it works well for a high school outing. The salad and bread are always fresh and plentiful. It's very family-friendly, with a children’s menu that comes with coloring activities to keep the little ones entertained while you wait for your meal. The franchise has been around for over 25 years and boasts more than 600 locations across North America. Under General Mills Corporation, the menu is consistent, ensuring quality and value with no surprises. The restaurant features a bar area and a spacious dining room decorated in an Italian style. I visited during the fall when they were offering the endless pasta bowl promotion.

Roasted Chicken Margherita was delicious. Our server was very attentive, courteous. A overall great dinner

They told us that there were no tables available for over an hour. As one can see in the pictures I took, that just was not true. Be honest hostess;; if there is a shortage of cooks and/or servers.

We've been out to eat many times and experienced a lot of service interactions with various servers in our lifetime and this one ranks at the top. There are often times restaurants can hire servers that can do the work and have poor customer relation skills and sometimes you can find people with great customer skills but poor work ethics. We had an amazing young server who breaks the stereotype that young people don't work hard. Our server, Andrick, worked hard and did it all with a smile. His attitude was extremely refreshing. He was attentive to our every need from refreshing our drinks/salad/soups to clearing the empty dishes while always checking if our food was tasting well. Andrick was consistent in his service with every new customer. We watched him worked and felt he took pride in everything he was doing. We encourage all of you to visit this location. If your situation allows you to give more, please help those like Andrick to start off in life in a better situation. Give them the encouragement (words/financial) they need to succeed. They have a long journey in life in this unknown world. Side note: the food tasted amazing and it was plentiful. If we are ever in the area again, we will come back to visit. We were blown away from the service, I forgot to take pictures of my food. Haha Good job Andrick!
