Olive Garden - Sarasota

Chicken Alfredo was hot till the end. Lots of sauce and nice size portion. Just needed a little salt: for my taste. Huge salad too.

No matter which Olive Garden location you go to, the difference lies in the level of service. This was not an exception during our visit for Sunday dinner, where there were eight of us, including four children. We ordered drinks and appetizers, and our server was incredibly patient. It's worth noting that children under four may not be allowed to dine here, which could be unfortunate for some families. Everyone received their food promptly and accurately, with no mistakes. The food was delicious and the food runners were helpful in ensuring we got everything we needed. I would definitely consider returning to this restaurant.

Excellent dining experience with thorough COVID-19 prevention measures in place.

I was very impressed with the excellent service at this Olive Garden location. Cindi was a fantastic server and her recommendation of red wine was spot on. I can't wait to return for another dinner!

The Olive Garden is a great choice for a neighborhood restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Despite being located in a strip mall, it is on the smaller side, which adds to its charm. I often visit in the evenings with friends after work, and one of our groups even holds monthly meetings here. The wait staff is friendly and some even know us by name because we are regulars. I frequently use their curbside pickup service, which is convenient. Recently, I ordered a group lunch and everything was well-packaged and hot when I brought it to our church. We also had an office meeting there and enjoyed soup and salad all around. It's a nice change from the impersonal, larger chain restaurants in the area. While there are some minor issues like long wait times and occasional inattentive staff, I still recommend this spot and give it four stars for consistently meeting my expectations. Overall, it's a lovely place to dine.
