Olive Garden bad service

So regular friday night dine out with my wife, we decided to go italian. Great so we went to the olive garden.

Everything was great `till some manager how`s mane is `shalom` came over to our table and asked us how the meal was? He was staring at my wife breast and ask her if she was enjoying the meal! Normally I would go crazy but I did not wanted to ruin the night!

I dined at your restaurant in Florida and I ordered a beer with my food. I was dining with my 10 year old daughter. I went to the washroom after I had eaten my meal and when I returned I found my daughter drinking my beer. What kind of restaurant allows someone under the age of 21 to drink? I wonder how many employees went past my daughter and did not stop her from drinking. For those of you who don't live in the US the legal age of drinking is 21. My daughter was too young to drink and yet none of the employees who saw her asked her to stop. Just shows you how Olive Garden lacks care and concern about their diners". Sure they ask for ID when a person looks like they are under the age of 21!. However they clearly knew that my daughter was under the age of 21 and should not have drank my beer". This clearly shows that the employees need retraining". We are not talking about a teenager here who could pass for 21 we are talking about a 10 year old girl who clearly looks young.. Someone who isn't even in Junior High?. Why did none of the employees stop her". Clearly I should have enough faith in mankind to do something to stop a child from drinking, . I guess it is not safe for a parent to use the washrrom at Olive Garden.

Okay, first two people are stupid. I agree with karleebarlee- you might have just misread where he was looking. Of course, if he really was looking... while that makes him a perv, it's unrealistic to think that he's the only guy in the world dirty enough to look at your wife, especially if she's well-endowed or wearing shirts that show cleavage. Just brush it off, and if it happens again, consider getting your wife new tops.

Olive Garden hair in soup

A friend and I were having soup and salad at Olive Garden. She noticed a curly gray hair floating on top of my soup. I notified the waiter, who in turn notified the manager. The manager appeared at our table and I told him of the hair. The waiter had removed my soup. I asked the manager if his kitchen employees were not required by health laws to cover hair, whether it be head or face. He remarked that cover is provided. He never agreed that health law requires it. And he made no apology for the hair in the soup! I thought surly he would adjust my tab but when it was delivered, there was no adjustment. No more Olive Garden for me! Later I was talking with someone who works in this particular Olive Garden in Mobile, Alabama. He told me that no one in the kitchen abides by the health laws concerning covering hair unless they know that the health department is due to make an inspection. Perhaps I should call the health department.

I work for OG and the cook staff ALWAYS wear hair nets. Also, the kitchen doesn't have anything to do with Soup and Salad outside of prep. The SERVER has to do all the work of getting the soup and salad together.

Well I have worked for Olive garden for over 10 years now and worked at 6 different locations. I have never seen any cook staff without hair nets at any of the locations that I have previously worked at. I have actually seen customers put hair on their food on purpose in order to get free meals.

I am so sorry to ear about the problem you had with the hair in your soup. I would like to say that in the 20 years I have managed restaurants. I have handled many of these complaints. Kitchen staff always wear a hat of some sort to restrain their hair. I sincerely believe that in a majority of the time, the hair is gets on the food somewhere between the kitchen and your table. How many customers did that plate pass to get to your table. Any customer scratching, shaking or combing their hair could gave been responsible. It amazes how many guest find a long blond hair in food and blame my short haired Hispanic cooks. Please give them another try.

Olive Garden headache

Tried to get coupons by joining the Olive Garden Newsletter which sends you an email to confirm subscription, when clicking on the confirm subscription it takes you to wikipedia for subscription...what the?

Guess they just want you to pay the full price for their items! Along with a headache...it's what you get for being cheap or frugal!

Being known as "cheap" and "frugal" are not positive terms to be associated with.

I just signed up for their newsletter. You're emailed confirmation that you did indeed sign up for the newsletter, and there is nothing you need to click in that email to confirm the subscription. Nor were there any rogue wikipedia re-directing links on the sign up page. ###.

Next time you fabricate a complaint, make sure it's not something that can be easily verified & disproven.

Valentines Day nightmare. I ordered a steak and my wife ordered the kabobs. Both were to be cooked medium. When the food arrived the waiter carefully removed hers from the skewers, asked us to try our food and asked how they were. We both cut into them and they were both medium. My wife however noticed that hers was warm on the surface, but cold in the...
