Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I stopped in for lunch today 04/05/2024 , the food was really good (I ordered the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks so no real review on that). While I was eating a friend walked past my table as the hostess was seating her. She realized today was my birthday and wished me a happy birthday, my server must have heard her because as I finished my lunch she brought me out a piece of cake, what a nice thing and it made my day!!

We were seated quickly by one of 4-5 hostesses, to a table and floor dripping wet, which we had to ask to dry. The table cleaner was next table over, had just finished table next to us, which had chunks of food beneath it, which the ladies the hostess seated didn't see. Several waitresses passed by us w/o eye contact for about 5-7 mins then one came to take order for table seated after us. Enough is enough! we left, but voiced our aggravation to hostesses. Thus was was an early week day evening not busy!!! why couldnt hostess offer us water to help her waitress out??? Ashland has been lucky to get these nice restaurants but hires the same sorry workers and especially lazy managers, that moves from local restaurant to restaurant. Why dont you owners keep better watch over your businesses????

What a nice experience! Went on a Saturday afternoon, no issue getting a set. Waitress was attentive & even the manager stopped by to get us more drinks & salad because waitress got busy-this was without any prompting. Food was as expected. Will dine again...cheers

The Alfredo, bread sticks, and salad are still a solid staple for this place. Olive Garden (corporate?) is 30y behind in their beer menu. Even the likes of Applebees, bww, etc. have reached the 2020s. OG still serving bud, miller, and coors.

Stopped after church and there were only two tables taken besides ours. We got menus when we were shown to our table. There waiters walking around but we waited 10 minutes and no one ever spoke to us. Then a party of six sat down next to us and they were waited on immediately while we still sat, ignored. We finally got up and left. Won't go back.

If I could give this 100000000000 stars I would. I am so happy they brought Olive Garden to Ashland. It is my favorite restaurant ever!!!! The food at this specific location is great! I've never had any issues here and have had amazing service every time!! Great employees, AMAZING FOOD, short wait times especially if you reserve ahead online!

Our first visit to the new Olive Garden in Ashland Kentucky. Not only was our server I think his name was Tim was amazing and so attentive but the food was all warm and fresh. I'll definitely return!!!

The service was great, wait times were good. Especially for a holiday weekend. Pleasantly suprised with how nice this new location is. Bathrooms were clean, and overall just a very nice atmosphere. They seem to be spread thin staff wise. As the bottomless salad was definitely bottomed out for a while without offers of more. However, the food was wonderful, the tour of Italy is amazing! Do recommend! Thanks!

Was ready to support this new business in our area as I dine out regularly after work and heard they were doing a soft opening so that sounded great for the community and a chance to try as well buuuuut was turned away twice during the soft opening. Both times "just filled out last spot" but you can come back tomorrow. Even though it was supposed to last until 230 and I called before noon, How convenient, already heard the same from multiple people. Good strategy to spread word of mouth for the opening but not a good way to keep a repeat customer to sustain it.

Good atmosphere. First 5 min no one greeted us at the table. Another server that wasn't ours greeted us and got our drinks and ordered our appetizer. Few more min goes by and our server showed up. Apologized for the wait and said there was some confusion with the tables that were assigned to her and another server. Ordered the spin dip. Wish there was an option to get regular tortilla chips with it but it came with something else that was kinda like a chip but not the same. Still very good. Food came out hot and delicious. Would recommend.
