A Mid-Afternoon Visit. My first visit to Olive Garden was during midafternoon, so I could be sure to get in. After a late breakfast, I figured a late lunch would be fashionable.The place is impressive. Its fashioned in Tuscan farmhouse style with a welcoming entryway. There is seating for those who are waiting.My booth was near the kitchen, and I watched the waiters in white shirts, ties, black trousers and aprons adorned with gold-colored towels. They were busy at midday, punching in orders and carrying out bread and pasta.It had been a few years since I ate at the Olive Garden, so I studied the two manageable menus offering appetizers, soups and salads, grilled sandwiches, pizza, classic dishes, chicken and seafood and filled pastas.At length, I asked my server what she would recommend. She suggested chicken Alfredo, and I went with that. Instead of the raspberry lemonade she suggested, I drank water.She first brought me the familiar Olive Garden salad bowl with crisp greens, peppers, onion rings and yes several black olives. Along with it came a plate with two long, warm breadsticks.The chicken Alfredo ($10.95) was warm and comforting on a cold day. The portion was generous. My server was ready with Parmesan cheese.As I ate, I noticed the vases and planters with permanent flower displays on the ledges. There are several dining areas with arched doorways. And there is a fireplace that adds warmth to the decor.Olive Garden has an attractive bar area to the right of the entryway. The restaurant has a full liquor license and a wine list offering a wide selection to complement Italian meals. Nonalcoholic beverages include coolers, specialty coffees and hot teas.On a hot summer day, I will try the raspberry lemonade that was recommended.Theres a homemade soup, salad and breadstick lunch available until 4 p.m. daily for $6.95.An olive branch on menu items signified low-fat entrees. There is a Garden Fare Nutrition Guide available for customers seeking gluten-free food. And for those with food allergies, Olive Garden has an Allergen Information Guide.All in all, it is the largest and most beautiful restaurant now operating in Hot Springs. It attracts visitors from out of town as well as people who live here.Olive Garden is part of the Darden chain of restaurants that also operates Red Lobster. There are about 700 restaurants, including four Olive Gardens in North Dakotas major cities.Olive Garden has gained a following since 1982 with its ample portions and relaxed ambience. Its known for its classic lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken Parmigiana.
Excellent everything tonight
Being vegan, the waitress cheerfully assisted me by talking to the chef, what I could eat. The main chef came out to make sure of what I was needing do he could properly serve me with no animal products whatsoever. The bread was served to me without butter, balsamic vinegar was brought to me with a robust romaine salad & he sauted some veggies over wheat pasta for a delicious meal! I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful restaurant!
Good food, bad experience.. The food at the Olive Garden in Hot Springs is relatively good, but the last time I went there with my fiance, he felt ignored, and that the (male) server was hitting on me. :/ And as a result- I will no longer go there. But… Like I said- the food tastes good, but is VERY pricey. I would recommend it to anyone who really wants to try it (and has the wallet to pay). However, I am more than happy with other places in town.
Thought we’d be safe…. So far we’ve had little to no luck with the local fare in Hot Springs. Thought we’d try the local Olive Garden as a safe bet. No luck.The second we walked in, there was the distinct smell of a sewer line gone afoul. Almost akin to the effect of eating at a truck-stop Wendy’s attached to the back side of the gas station bathroom. Not what I wanted or expected from an Olive Garden.To top it off, the service was horrific. When you have to ask the hostess passing by if you can get refills on your drinks (after 11 minutes on empty) something is wrong.
Average food.. The food at Olive Garden is alright. It’s average Americanized Italian food. However, the bread sticks are always very tasty. The service is pretty good, not bad. I don’t go to Olive Garden a lot, but when I do, it’s always good to average.
Great food! Antonio gave us great service. I run a restaurant and would highly recommend this location!
