Came here with my son, 23.
We love the Olive Garden. I take their advertising message of "family" very seriously. As such, I have been to many Olive Garden locations and always try to friendly with the managers and staff. I also make myself available to them for airport pick-up like a real family does. However, I rely on my son for driving and so the one time I was asked I had to politely decline and eat at Applebee's for a few weeks out of embarrassment.
Anyway, we were heading to New York City so my son can pick up a Nintendo Switch and get his photograph taken with an unemployed actor dressed like Spidermin. I realized we had never eaten at the flagship Olive Garden in Time's Square. I heard the singers like Frank Sinatra used to eat there.
We arrived and were promptly seated. I was worried the prices would be insane, as I know NYC is still paying reparations for its involvement in the Spanish American war and as such has prices higher than many other cities.
As a family, we like to play a lot of games at mealtimes. However, Olive Garden provides at-table video games. We played these while consuming a vast amount of salad. My son (23) has a form of celiac disease so we get our salads without croutons. The salads were crisp and fresh and I enjoy digging out the olives and discarding them, while my son loves to put the pepperoncinis in his jowls and recite lines from classic television.
Our server hooked us up with a fistful of the after dinner mints.
My son had the Tour of Italy. I had the five cheese ziti. No alcohol due to the presence of Bushmills.
5 stars.
