The Old Spaghetti Factory - Richmond

How cheap can this operation get?_Had a large family dinner with the family tonight and ordered a small take out for my son._In that takeout we ordered a

Came here this evening with a friend of mineThe food is always good but the male server was a bit rude and lazy you could tell.

I know it's a cliché, but where else do you get soup or salad to start, free tea or coffee, an entrée & a small ice cream for a decent price? If you paid for all these elsewhere, the prices would be easily 30-50 per cent higher.Hit the restaurant the other day after a swim at the pool. Tables and bathrooms were clean. Our group ordered: thai curry sauce w/ chicken, seafood liniquine, & plain old spaghetti and meatballs.One person was allergic to food and the server and manager took great pains to make sure she didn't order the wrong dish (manager came to the table twice). Good service, coffee is surprisingly good, strong coffee!after taxes 3 dinners was $45.You know what you get at this chain and it's good food at an ok mid-range price.Only word of advice: if you like dipping the hot sourdough bread into the pasta sauce, ask them to make sure there is extra sauce. Quite often the pasta dishes come and not enough sauce.

FIrst the good news, the portions are large and relatively inexpensive. It would be an excellent place for a family with kids. Now the so so, the food is bland, not much to chose from if you don't like pasta but worst of all, the beer is warm. We sent ours back and the replacement wasn't much better. Don't make a special trip to go here but if you are at the theatre across the street it isn't horrid.

We got in on a Friday night without a reservation with a large family of 8. The service was good the dinners were good and the price was very reasonable. Salads are mediocre but fresh. Offered good gluten free options.
