We've been here a couple times.  Yes, I get it, you're in New York City. Why go to Olive garden? Well, the bread sticks, and the consistency. You know exactly if you're going to get. Sometimes after a long day. That's just all you want.... Something familiar and relaxing.  The prices aren't far out of whack considering it's next to times square.  If you like Olive garden and want to comfort just do it.

Came with a group of 8 Monday evening before a Broadway show. Our server, Wendy, was so fantastic! She brought us everything we asked for and also really anticipated our needs. A level of service rarely experienced in NYC! We are so grateful to her, and the downstairs bartender was also fantastic with the drinks and service. 5 stars.

Hello I’m Marie. Me and my aunt went to Olive Garden tonight for dinner I got out of my wheelchair to sit in the booth we were comfortable. A wonderful waitress came by to say hello how are you to me and my aunt and her name is Jessica she was very sweet and kind and gave us good energy 🤗🥰♥️✨ we had fun as well and we can’t thank her enough for being our server tonight we will definitely be back at Times Square Olive Garden soon to look for her to be our waitress again and I’ll definitely will bring my family, then my close friends here soon and in the future, my boyfriend and then me, him, and his kids 👏🏾

The food was very good as usual. I always get the unlimited soup and salad. I love the Zuppa soup. Anyhow, the wait staff are automatically tipped at this particular location.. therefore, he was horrible server. He was very inattentive. What it was is that he didn’t want to bring refills of the soup, salad, or drinks. One soup.. one small salad bowl to share.. and one drink. We just sat there waiting. I was on vacation therefore I did not want to get upset/confrontational. So we just chose to leave. I realized the issue when the bill arrived. He was tipped a large amount naturally without having to earn it. It stated that it can be altered which I did and the waiter did not choose to accept that. When I arrived home, I checked my bank and noticed he kept the high tip for himself rather than inputting the amount I put on the receipt I signed. Very dishonest server!!! As usual, the food was good.. there just needs to be accountability with the ethics of the wait staff.

As someone who not only eats at Olive Garden regularly but also worked with this company for 7 yrs (back when the service and food was actual quality) this was the WORST experience.

Mannerisms is everything. I don’t care if this is NYC. Employees should have a welcoming smile. It’s like my presents was such a burden. Our server was difficult to understand and spoke fast. We had to ask for cheese and silverware. Being greeted took forever. Our salad was warm. We weren’t asked for refills. Our food taste bland.

We tried to be nice and left a decent tip but it was not worth the price we spent.
