Good thing I never had dinner there. Who wants to eat at an un-American restaurant that serves fake Italian food.
Yep. Olive Garden, like "Chillis", "Ruby Tuesday", or pretty much anything in the Darden family of restaurants, is a "safe" place. Like for large company lunches, or family get-togethers.
Nothing will taste really good, but nothing will taste awful, either. And everyone will find something on the menu that they'll eat. No one will walk out of the place saying "WOW! Dis you try the....?", but by the same token, no one will say "Man, that was terrible.....".
They're the Lite Beer of Restaurants, IMHO.
They've also been off my list for a good while now. :-) Mrs WBill and I can cook better, and cheaper, than those places.
I ate at an Olive Garden one time. Their bread was miserable, and the entre was not much better. It did not even qualify to be called an Italian restaurant in my opinion. That was my one and only experience. After this flag incident, I will not be patronizing any of the other Darden Restaurant brands.
