OLIVE GARDEN

Last week, my cousins and I went to an Italian restaurant, Olive Garden. It is a fantastic restaurant. Olive Garden is located near South Center Mall, a very convenient spot because you can go shopping in South Center Mall and easily find parking if you are driving.
Inside the restaurant it is really beautiful, elegant and cosy. The restaurant placed a lot of candles on the table which made it look so romantic. All in all the decorations are well done.
The food is very delicious. The menu had plenty of dishes to choose from.For example, they have appetizers, soups, salads, pizzas, classic recipes, chicken, seafood, filled pastas, beef, pork, grilled garlic shimp and etc. You name it they've got it. They gave us a bread basket and salads while we wait for our food. I really liked the bread because it is so good. If you wanted cheese on any of your foods, the waitress will grinde fresh cheese with a handy grinder.
Plus, Olive garden have many different kind of drinks/refreshments.
The waiters and waitresses are very kind. They are so friendly and polite I thought for one second that they were family.
Not just that but the prices, it was not so expensive.
I give Olive Garden a five star rating with excellency. The delicious foods, fantastic environment, and the outstanding customer service.
I would recommend Olive Garden to any family, friend, or just anyone. If you want a good meal, while being treated like you're the king and at the same time have the most fun with you friends while you're at it. Them Olive Garden is the place you should visit.
