Good place for easy family dining. Entrees have decent portions and quality is pretty decent for a large franchise. Endless soup is a nice touch.

My girlfriend and I went on Valentine’s Day expecting a long wait for food and service, being that it was jam packed, and we had a much better experience than we were expecting. Our server Bryan was very nice, patient, and attentive. Food was much better than I was expecting. Management made themselves known to us (which we always like), and we overheard them help with a situation at the table next to us in a very calm way that defused the situation very well. Overall, much better experience than we were expecting.

Our server Troy helped make our birthday celebration party of 7 a happy occasion. Troy made sure that we were not without Water, Salad, and entrees delivered on time, hot , and accurately. Olive Garden itself is a standard in our restaurant portfolio. Good food, fair prices, and clean

Good solid Italian food. Pasta is al dente, meatballs are moist and filling. If you are watching your calories, they have a chicken dish which fits the bill and tastes great

Okay, so we went to the Olive Garden on Blossom Hill Road and it was pretty busy – we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table around 6pm. The atmosphere was nice, pretty standard Olive Garden, you know? Our server was okay, a little rushed, and the salad portion felt a bit small for the price. The breadsticks were good, though! Parking was a bit of a struggle, but they have a lot of spots. I'd suggest they could maybe offer a slightly bigger salad option – it felt a little lacking.

Great soup and salad. Love the endless soup and salad option. Of course, lasagna is always good ("good", not great). The atmosphere is nice, usually easy to have a decent conversation. We arrived at approximately 3:45pm, got seated and ordered our drinks right away. By nearly 4:00pm, it was filling up pretty good. Server Haven't was wonderful. Sweet, attentive, not overbearing... the perfect server. Thank you! No, it's not what an Italian would call authentic, but it is still a great option for lunch or dinner. AND, they have a good amount of options for drinks. I wouldn't be offended if taken here for a date ... lol

I came here with a few friends and my girlfriend later in the day! I was immediately greeted at the front and my server provided me the best service imaginable! The servers name was John and he went above and beyond to ensure that everyone at the table was happy with their food and drinks! He checked in multiple times and provided us refill on bread and our drinks! He took the service to the next level with his exceptional attitude and service! I would highly suggest coming here and if you’re lucky enough to get John as your server you’ll understand what level of service I’m talking about! He deserves a raise and praise for the level of service he provided to our table!

Our waitress was exceptionally accurate and it's quick to offer refills and make sure we got everything we needed during our meal. She was very patient with our five year old who wanted to place her own order. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Olive Garden has the best blended margaritas out of em all. Try any blended drink and order the unlimited salad and bread sticks. At least you can eat somewhat healthy while you drink! Trust me on the margarita. They are 🔥

I hope I am reviewing the exact restaurant as Olive Garden has multiple outlets and could well be within the same zip code. It's a pretty boyband spacious restaurant with a bar, nice wheelchair accessibility and a decent menu. The vegetarian choices are mostly salads, soup, sandwiches. Much better options for meat lovers. All the entrees come with unlimited servings of soup or salad - you pick which one. Beer, wine cocktails, they have it all. The lady who looked after us was friendly and patient - am guessing that must pretty much be the case with the other staff too. The portion can be a lot for just one person - for it was. The food was okay to be honest and for a family of 7 it set us back by almost $250 including tips and that to me is expensive. Or it's the price you pay for living in the wealthy Bay Area I suppose. (I don't live there by the way). Food I would say 3 stars at most, ambience and service 5 stars.

Went on a Saturday evening for dinner and surprisingly we got the table within 10 mins . Both food and service was pretty good In general Olive garden should include more vegetarian options , they haven’t added anything new from past few years

We went here for lunch. The place is huge n usually busy. So reservation is recommended. The food tasted good. The salad n fruit juices were unlimited. But the service was very slow. Go there with a lot of time in hand!

The food was very good, the salad could have been colder but I'm sure we were there at the end of the lunch rush. I definitely would love to go back again, especially with my neighbor Linda who took me there in the first place. I think her very much and had a great time. The coffee was exceptional just like the lemon water. We had a very polite waiter. Unfortunately when we were seated it was at a dirty table which took a very long time for them to clean off. It is very hard to see all the pieces of food on the table I apologize for that. I finally return back to the Olive Garden October 2nd 2022, the food was good however it was too salty for me I couldn't even eat it. Everybody enjoyed themselves very much the children all love the breadsticks and the sauces.

Came in around 9pm for a late dinner and were seated near the bar with other families, including kids and babies. The vibe was calm but definitely end-of-the-night energy. Our server was very nice, but attention to detail was a bit off. This was my first time at Olive Garden, so expectations were neutral. We started with drinks and ordered Coke Zero with no ice. It arrived with ice and tasted like regular soda—no Coke Zero flavor at all. We ended up switching to Coke instead. For food, I ordered the chicken and gnocchi soup, which unfortunately came out stone cold. That was disappointing. I also ordered the portobello ravioli, and credit where it’s due—it was actually amazing and easily the highlight of the meal. My partner ordered the chicken Alfredo, but it looked like it had been sitting out for a while and was also slightly cold. At that point, we didn’t say anything since it was clear we were among the last guests and the restaurant was close to closing. I wanted dessert, but decided it was best to just order it to go rather than stay longer. Overall, some solid menu items (that ravioli deserves respect), but the cold food and drink mix-ups made this a less-than-great first impression. Late-night visits might be hit or miss here—maybe go earlier if you want the full Olive Garden experience.

Update: Pros: Food was tasty and portions were large enough Cons: even though, five people in our group ordered the food that was supposed to come with never-ending salad, only one bowl of salad (same size that is usually served when I go with my husband) was served and it never got refilled!!! Food was just ok, but our server was so unfriendly that we didn't want to ask him anything! He was even hesitant to bring the "unlimited salad and bread sticks ". Our salad bowl was empty for a ling time but he didn't refill it. We asked for more bread sticks but it took forever for him to come back.

Sometimes you just get a craving for OG breadsticks and salad and you have to go. It's classic and it's consistent. It's not going to be the best italian food but you know what you're getting yours…

I expected more from Olive Garden. We came around 5 PM and waited to be seated because it was pretty busy. I told the hostess I would need a high chair. When we were finally seated, I asked for one, and I don’t know if there weren’t any available, but they took a while just to bring it to us. Same with the order. The server wasn’t coming to our table. We were so famished. We knew we were going to wait for them to take our order and put it in, but the server wasn’t coming to our table. Then the food took around 20-25 minutes to come out. Also, the tables around us were getting their food and they had arrived after us. Basically, this was an awful experience and I know I won’t be back. What a sad waste of time and money.

A spaghetti dinner for two cost me $50+ We came in and ordered 2 minutes before the lunch menu ended. We ordered two lunch spaghetti plates and I ordered a Caesar salad. I was served a side salad instead of Caesar and when our bill came, they had charged us dinner prices. Will never return.

I ordered delivery today. Paid delivery fee $8 , service fee $3 and tips $5. When the food arrived it was missing appetizer. So I called they offered me a refund. I started to eat my food. And then I realized how LITTLE tomato sauce in all my entrees. See pictures. I called them again, the guy manger asked me why you didn't mention this the first time u called ? ??? He said for lighter portion , you get only 4 oz of tomamto sauce. ( It is not clarifiedon the menu but he said kitchen staff knows this rule) Yes I ordered lighter portion for my son so portion is smaller but doesn't mean the flavor should be compromised. See pics how many noodles they give you with tiny bit of tomato sauce which leaves it flavorless. I would rather they give me less noodle and reasonable amount of Tomato sauce.. so disappointed. Was planning to go there on the birthday, now forget it.

Me and my family of four came in to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. Normally i am more than pleased with the service at this olive garden considering we have been here a good amount of times but after today that has changed and I dont think we will be coming back. Tadeh was supposed to be taking care of us but the whole time seemed like he would rather be doing anything else. We had to wait 10 minutes for just a refill on our drinks and when I asked for another soup he just rolled his eyes and took the plate without saying anything. By the time he came back we asked for a refill on our bread and again did not say a word and just took the basket from our table. If I could give the service 0 stars I would!

Party of nine, on a Monday evening at 7pm. My boyfriend’s family and myself came all the way from Las Vegas to visit some family members and they decided to treat us to Olive Garden. Usually I tend to love the service but I’m from Las Vegas, so I guess every Olive Garden is different. When we walked in, we were greeted by the hostesses. We waited for five minutes, which wasn’t long at all, and we expected to wait since we didn’t make a reservation. We got sat down, our waiter came by. He took our drink order first, brought out our drinks, everything was fine and dandy, until it wasn’t. I didn’t think we ordered anything difficult, we just had two people who were celiac. He took our order, we all got either soup or salad. Usually the soup, salad and breadsticks come out before the meal, but they came out with the meal. One of the gals ordered breadsticks with no salt or butter, we just wanted one order of breadsticks with no salt or butter, and we made that perfectly clear. Meanwhile he brought out two orders of breadsticks with no salt or butter. When we finally got our food, he messed up our order by not bringing enough salad. He also didn’t offer us cheese for any of our dishes. “Say when, please?” My soup was cold. I ended up speaking up and they brought me out another soup, but it still wasn’t the temperature soup should be. I feel like all of our dishes were hanging out by the heat lamps for a while since they were also lukewarm. My boyfriend got his unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks last, which I feel should be the easiest order. I also had to ask for a refill on my iced tea. Another one of the gals just wanted a salad for here and a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo to go. He got that all mixed up as well, and I didn’t think it was confusing at all. Since we’re only in town for five days, we won’t be returning. Even if we were permanent residents in San Jose, we wouldn’t be returning regardless.

They gave us frozen tiramisu and totally not the quality we expected. Sorry but I am not comfortable eating a frozen tiramisu. Not coming back to this location again.
