Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - (Near East Wenatchee, WA)

4 /5 Shery On The Move: I had dinner on 15th January 2025. Good food and great service. I didnt remember my servers name. She was friendly and attentive except she forgot to give me a take out bag before i left.

2 /5 Brandy Burlingame: My husband and I went out for our anniversary. We were starving and Olive Garden has always been so good. So we went in We were seated right away. Great! Then we gave our order in a timely manner. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and our meals. The pitcher took a long time. I asked about it and was told the bar was backed up. Been there before. Not stressing.. So a few more minutes pass and we get our sangria. Not long after our food comes out. Im not one to complain in a restaurant I was a server for YEARS! But.... I had a very visible hair mixed in with my meal. I instantly got grossed out. Told the server. She did the right thing and took it away. Then she tells me she will get her gm. Im thinking great! We havent had a great time and maybe he can help... nope! He comes over, defends his kitchen crew. And I told him I understood. As Ive also been in the food service this can happen. I want to be clear. I NEVER look for a hand out. But the service and whole experience were lacking. I expected at least a percentage off my meal. As i had to wait while my husband had his. Also whats the all you can eat breads ticks and salad for the first course only??? That makes no sense... anyway. Im telling you this because Ive eaten at this specific restaurant many times while visiting wenatchee. And never had service/ food like this.

2 /5 wilson Jessica “Mamato4”: We went out for our familys birthday dinner (all 6 of us have birthdays in a 10 week period). When we checked in we were told it would be a 20 to 25 minute wait. Great. 45 mins later I asked how much longer we could expect as the one year old was getting HUNGRY. She said prob about 20 more minutes. Okay we figure by the time we load up, drive to new place unload thatll be more than 20 so we wait. During this time a much larger group than ours checked in and they were told a 45 minute wait. Every customer in the waiting area heard the host say that which was evident when they were called back before all those waiting and everyone was really upset by this.We checked in at 520 and were seated at 650 just as we were ready to give up and leave. I also want to not a party of 2 checked in and were told a 20 minute wait and the guy said so probably an hour and the host replied yes!! Waiting is NOT the problem. Honesty IS. Just be up front with people. Id rather you shoot for a longer wait and bring us back earlier than to stand there with 4 hungry kids for almost 4x the estimated wait time we were given. Then.. the restaurant was so busy our server as hard as he tried couldnt keep bread sticks on the table. We hardly saw him and I am not blaming him because he was exceptional it was just a busy night but I will say if there is a large party maybe bring each person 2 bread sticks to start and when refilling bring each person 1 or 2. Especially if theyve waited that long and are beyond ready to eat. I had ordered the dip and never got to ask for my second flavor because the host wasnt around, again not his fault the place was packed. Anyway, as you can imagine for a family of 6 it is quite expensive to eat out and especially when you feel like you didnt get the experience you paid for because the place was so busy... Our fault. We came from Quincy and had no idea it would be so busy! We could have driven to texas roadhouse in Tri Cities with the amount of time we waited. I really hope you can take this information and just be more up front with estimated wait times. It isnt fair if you are just telling everyone low times so you dont lose any customers.

5 /5 Rick van der Wurff: Nice American Italian style restaurant with great menu. Their breadsticks and salad as a side are amazing and so was the spaghetti with meatballs. Their draught beer pump was down, so only bottled beers available, including delicious Peroni. Kids menu also available. Pro-tip: tiramisu!
