My girlfriend and I came from Texas to have a visit and had a fancy for olive garden. We go to the one nearest us and the experience was awful. We love olive garden in Texas and didn't expect anything less from home and when we walked in no one greeted us. The couple in front literally had to speak to the host to get their attention and then she noticed us. We sat down and waited about 10 minutes for a drink then about 25 for our food order. The bread sticks were hard and tasted burnt. We got chicken scampi to share and it took about 30 minutes  for it to come out. It was very bland and small portioned. People around us are even complain how terrible the service is. All in all a bad experience.
