The Wild World of Chain Restaurant Superfans | Eater

"A lifelong celebratory tradition turned full‑time fandom: this devotee wears two tattoos inspired by the chain (including a rotary cheese grater with “SAY WHEN”), amassed more than 50 branded T‑shirts spanning decades, and purchased a limited Lifetime Pasta Pass — $500 for dine‑in unlimited pasta, soup, salad and breadsticks for life — which he’s used over 100 times. To keep visits interesting he created a 'Pastadex' randomizer to cycle through sauce, topping and pasta combinations, and has been known to eat there solo multiple times per week." - Amy McCarthy

Restaurant Recommendations, Menu Hacks, and More: Welcome to Eater’s Newsletter ‘The Move’ | Eater

"Known for its mind-boggling number of “never-ending” pasta combinations and the famously free breadsticks, this casual Italian chain can feel dominated by carb-heavy options; a smarter order is the fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken, since the mild chicken helps cut the richness of the sauce and balances the dish more effectively than just snacking on breadsticks alone." - Erin DeJesus

I'd recommend teaching customer service to the hostess, Marianna?(couldn't read her name too well)that was attending the host stand. Didn't greet, smile, or gave any effort to make it seem like she cared. One comes in all happy and looking to enjoy food, yet she kills the mood. I'm surprised how she got the job, with that personality of a brick. Regardless, the food is good. The unlimited pasta is a steal for the price, as long as you eat more than one plate of course. The atmosphere is good, one of my favorites for these restaurant chains. Our server was great, very lovely and attentive.

For all that Veterans do for America, this location and manager laughed loudly and positively bragged, "We don't give Veterans discounts, there is not even a button to do it!" With a laughing smirk on his face. One day a year is great for Veterans day but they operate in America 365 days.... disappointed. Could care less and actually laughed about it. Lived in this area 2 years. Been to this location 3 times. That is 3 times too many. Dirty worn EVERYTHING, carpet, tables, chairs, dishes, utensils, walls, glasses. Saw ants crawling on the wall by the booths. Might want to skip this place to eat. Will not be coming back under any circumstances. I can make better salad and Spaghetti at home. And I can also get All You Can Eat also at home...

this Olive Garden has the most beautiful interior and the food was great especially the stuffed ziti fritta appetizer (the alfredo sauce that came with it was seriously amazing makes me wish I got an entree with alfredo sauce), my one and only complaint is that it felt that our server was rushing us the whole time despite it not seeming busy in the restaurant I'm not sure if he was supposed to be cut soon or something but it was a bit off-putting oh also not that it matters much but the bread sticks were super bland

Hostess not very welcoming, very serious to be the one to “greet customers” waiter was nice, food was great. My only complaint is waiter didn’t offer bread or cheese in our meals we had to ask. Alcohol beverages took a while, we were already done with our soup and still they hadn’t arrived.

Gotta say first time here and everything was great. Service was great. Food came out quick. Breadsticks of course were amazing along with the marinara. Appetizers were all a big hit! Soups were fantastic. Finally entres were amazing today. Very happy with my visit and will definitely return!

Overall, it was a great experience. The restaurant was busy, and we were seated in the back, where it felt a bit cold, and the noise from waiters setting up utensils was slightly distracting. That said, our server was excellent, and the food was fantastic as always!

Some of the best customer service that I received in quite some time in the northern Virginia region! The host and manager continue to check up on us in our server was absolutely fantastic and attentive. I really appreciate atmosphere that they have created and the food was quite delicious. Thank you, Olive Garden!

The food was delicious and beautifully presented, but what really made our visit special was Ryan. He was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. His service truly enhanced the whole experience. Highly recommend!

The food was good as usual, and we had a large party where we needed multiple separate checks for each party, and some couples were paying separately. This is not an issue at other restaurants where we go as a group. But this server didn't understand, no matter how we asked her to do it. It was a mess since most of us did not know each other very well. Aside from this snafu with the checks at the end of the evening, the service was good, our food came out quickly, and requests were handled. But the mess with the checks at the end was big, and that's the reason for the rating. If you come here with just a few people, this problem won't likely exist.

If I wanted a single gnocchi floating in a bowl of cream, I would've just stayed home and boiled one myself. I ordered the Chicken & Gnocchi soup and got zero chicken. Not even a shred. Just one lonely gnocchi, a couple specks of carrot, and a milky broth that felt more like a joke than a meal. For a restaurant that claims comfort food, this was just lazy. Super disappointing.

Had the new spicy 3 meat sauce. I found it very tasty. It has a nice kick without burning your taste bites. Salad was fresh and tasty. Bread sticks were stale and crunchy. And why would you give a table of 2 people, 3 bread sticks? Are we supposed to do rock, paper, scissors to see who gets the 3rd one? Why can't you serve 2 stix per person? And just because it's always been their 'thing', no dinner mints were offered with the check. Bummer!

This OG get the carry out orders right on a consistent bases. The salmon was exceptionally delicious and the attached "to go promise" banner is a nice touch and the primary reason why I decided to leave a review

Bottomless soups, salads and breadsticks are the best. I love Olive Garden. Although it's a chain it feels warm and cozy inside and the waiters are very attentive to your needs.

The food was not seasoned well. No flavor on the scampi. Forgot to use garlic. The same dish tasted different for two different people.

Tony and I had dinner at Olive Garden in the McLean Sterling area of Virginia after spending all day running around Washington DC. We had stopped next door for drinks. Pasta at Olive Garden is one of Tony's favorite meals. This was the first time I had ordered steak at Olive Garden. It came with a side of Alfredo Pasta. I had a tea with Lemon and Lime unsweetened and he had a budweiser beer. The meal was ready good. Definitely love Olive Garden and this location was really nice, highly recommend

I am a huge fan of Olive Garden. The food is good, the never ending salad and breadsticks are just made for big gatherings, and everybody gets something they want (especially since they added pizza to the kids' menu). The Sterling location is a newer Olive Garden, and it met all the expectations. We got the usual salad and breadsticks and various pasta dishes, including the HUGE chicken parmesan. All cooked well, tasty and filling. The best part is the little digital console that lets you pay the bill and leave whenever you're ready. Definitely another option when hunger pangs hit in Loudon County!

Haven't been to Olive Garden in a few years and this experience reminded me why. Oh my god the staff had a bit of an attitude! I get it, working a Saturday night is stressful but right off the bat our waitress had a bit of an attitude towards us for asking questions about the unlimited pasta. The food came quick, but there was a misunderstanding about the toppings for the unlimited pasta. Another waitress brought out the toppings and when one of us was confused, that waitress made a face, threw up her hands and was annoyed that we were confused. Besides the less than welcoming service, the prices are crazy expensive! Not worth it for what is essentially warmed up unseasoned lean cuisine. Also, they had such a long wait so be warned! Will NOT be returning! They say when you're here you're family. This is not my famila!

We all know that Olive Garden motto "when you're here, you're family" decades ago; I can say that motto on the surface has slightly improved (compared to the past few years), but still is below average to decades ago; quality is still below average. The breadsticks were dry and did not feel fresh, and their salad literally had one olive and two tomatoes (veggie-portions should be better). The service was average and the prices, average, too. I suggest having some sort of happy hour or something simplify for those that merely want the salad. Above all, what surprised me was seeing a handful of fruit flies around. Surprisingly, Olive Garden, is slightly better than the past 2-3 years, but I'm not sure if it's saying much as it has taken a significant dip in the two past decades. 3/5

Still going, still doing great! I've been doing food pickup and dine-in, and have yet to experience anything other than excellent service and excellent food. Ate there for lunch today - they were the busiest I've seen so far (good for them), and the service was top-notch. Immediate seating, fast delivery of drinks, appetizers, and then main courses. Attentive, immediate refills on drinks and soup. Food is - as always - excellent. And...reasonably affordable. Dining out seems so ridiculously expensive anymore - even cheap fast food is not 'cheap' by any stretch of the imagination anymore. I just don't 'get' the DMV area, where it seems the hipsters around here expect absolute perfection or a place gets zero stars. And there seems to be open hostility towards any chain establishment. Not everyone can afford to eat at the ridiculously expensive, pretentious eateries in the D.C. and outlying area. Plus, I prefer to eat off a plate, not a shingle or shoe insert, or some other hipster gadget platform. Olive Garden suits me just fine, thankyouverymuch!

2/5. Expected more from Olive Garden, as I've always had a good time at this chain. But this location takes the cake for the most disappointing dining experience at an Olive Garden. The Food: Went with the "Build Your Own Pasta" option. And as always, it did the job and lived up to my expectations for a chain Italian restaurant. Pasta was cooked good and the sauce was warm and creamy. The proteins itself was a little overcooked (Crispy Chicken Fritta), but overall a good email. The Service: Service is what makes this review a 2-star. Upon arriving, we didn't wait long for a table on a weekday night. Sat at our table by the host and wasn't greeted by our waitress for about 30 minutes. We sat there thinking they forgot about us, until they finally came. Once putting in our orders, it was about another 35/40 minutes to wait for a small group of 3 to have the entrees brought out. Water refills were non-existent and no check-ups in general were done. The Atmosphere: Atmosphere was nice. Nicely decorated with the homey "Italian" theme. Clean and well spaced out for both tables and booths. Parking is also big, so no worries on trying to find a parking spot. Overall, a 2/5. Food was as expected from an Olive Garden. However, the service itself really brought down the whole meal. Definitely do not recommend this location, unless you're looking for a night of frustration.

Dirty silverware and napkin, wilted salad, watered down Bellini tea and a waiter that was not personable at all. The food was not good. I ordered the chicken & shrimp carbonara and it lacked flavor. The chicken was like rubber. We placed an order for dessert right after we ordered our food and our waiter never returned with it. This was not a pleasant experience and I'm disappointed. I use to love eating at Olive Garden, but the quality of the food has declined, the prices have skyrocketed and the service is poor. Our waiter never came to check on us, never offered us refills and seemed to be ready for us to leave. We should have gone to the restaurant next door.

Food/service horribe!! I got food poisoning after eating at this restaurant. would NOT recommend.

The restaurant is a great for families. The things that went wrong: Two orders were incorrect and our waitress did not refill beverages quickly or ask if we wanted refills, but the manager came by and he noticed right away that we were out of breadsticks. When waiters get orders wrong nobody wants their friends/families to have to wait 15 to 20 minutes to begin their meal while others are eating while their meal is hot. This was ridiculous & awkward.

I came here mostly out of nostalgia for my family and it was pretty mid experience. The food quality is pretty low though the quantity is very high. You can easily get your value if you goal is to eat a lot. The breadsticks were disappointing. The soup and salad were OK. The entrees were also whatever. I did enjoy the modern interior and the Christmas decorations. The space was nice for family gatherings. I just wish the food tasted better. I am rounding the rating up because this is a chain restaurant and so expectations are set approximately.

This is the usual Olive Garden that my family and I frequent a few times a year. The staff are always working very hard, especially the waitresses/waiters/servers. There's also a manager or two that usually comes by to check on each table. The food is ready relatively quickly and is always yummy and hot. We always put ourselves on the waitlist ahead of time in case they end up being more busy than anticipated.

Very Soggy salad. Waiter no where to be found after delivering the food. Iced tea Was never refilled after the initial glass. Food was mediocre, mostly on the dry side. Lastly, the bathroom was utterly disgusting with smell and toilet paper everywhere on the floor. The urinals were very close to overflowing, ready to dribble over on your shoes. Clearly, it wasn't serviced for hours, perhaps the entire day. Can't wait to return and experience that all over - NOT !!!

We went to this location yesterday to celebrate my daughters 4the birthday and I just had to come and brag about my server Yasmin! She is TRULY AMAZING! So on top of everything, so patient with our big party, and the food was amazing!!! I am asking for her by name from now on! Thank you Yasmin!!!!

This Olive Garden is begging to be closed. Lunch time business has dropped precipitously and with good reason. Their help is not consistent not only in quantity but quality. We sat for twenty minutes today before someone came by to take our order. Disclaimer before stating the next comments: I worked as a restaurant server throughout my college years and know what I am talking about. In clear view of our table (and over one half the restaurant) was a table where four (4) uniformed servers were seated. All were on their phones. As time passed, activity began. It was then evident they were training. They were reviewing the menu and taking notes from someone who was obviously the trainer. If you knew what they were doing it might be all right BUT they went too far when bottles of wine were brought to the table and all the servers were poured generous amounts of wine. Notes were put away so it simply looked like the much needed servers were throwing themselves a party. Again, I knew what they were doing because they were served more than one type of wine. However, if you were not aware they were training it looked HORRIFIC that a customer could wait twenty minutes to be acknowledged and there were four servers having a grand time in front of them! It is understood that training is necessary but take it over to a corner table where no one can see you not smack in the middle of the dining area! POOR management decision! Where was said manager while people were waiting for service and food was SLOW in coming out? He was sitting in the farthest corner of the restaurant (but again in full view of half the restaurant) eating his lunch. He sat with obviously NO Intention of helping resolve the mess being created on the floor with wait times for both service and food. He actually started to get up once and changed his mind and sat down again. On our way out he popped up with a cheery "have a good day"! As his restaurant had taken well over an hour out of our business day that we will never get back his comment was not appreciated. The food was so-so. The pasta was glued in one big lump. The sauce was minimal. Our biggest complaint is that Olive Garden is using teeny tiny plates for lunch. It is a well known practice to use smaller plates to make lunch special portions look bigger but this restaurant uses the smallest plates possible. There is absolutely NO room to cut pasta or meat on less than dessert-sized plates. People KNOW they are ordering the lunch portions; you are not fooling anyone. For heaven's sake, avoid food slopping all over the table and give people a normal sized plate! I am certain you are using an industrial size dishwasher. Plate size does NOT matter! We work in the neighborhood and have been having lunch here every other week. Today was the last time we will do so if for no other reason but that the meatballs at Cafesano down the street are far better!

My wife, daughter and I had dinner there on 3/10/2023. The server was great. The salad and breadsticks good as always. My had had the tour of Italy. The chicken parm was slightly overcooked. The afredo and the lasagna were decent. My daughter had the chicken alfredo. It was very tasty, sauce was delicious. I had the shrimp scampi. The shrimp was cooked perfectly but under seasoned. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. Overall the dish lacked seasoning, it needed more sauce, some acid. Overall a decent meal for a reasonable price. I wouldn't say it's the best Italian food I've but not the worst either.

You know when something isn't wrong but the food is tasteless and blah? That's my experience at Olive Garden. 2 stars for Minestrone soup/ garden salad and breadsticks. I will forever like their minestrone soup. That's the vegetable soup with some pasta in it. And also their breadsticks are awesome. That's all. Everything my family ordered was blah and disgusting. My cheese ravioli had the awful Mariana sauce that tasted not right. We actually didn't want to go there but some out of town guests who hadn't been to Olive Garden wanted to go there. And the funny thing is I don't think they were impressed either. We were a party of 11 and of course the service was extremely slow but decent. Side Note- They do not take reservations on the weekend only call aheads. ~

Okay so whenever I go to chain restaurants my expectations are never high. Unfortunately Olive Garden didn't disappoint. I came here with my brother for lunch because they were running a special on drinks and I like to drink for the low. The drinks were weak and I wasn't expecting patron but I also wasn't expecting juice. The food was okay but it's your normal garb. Nothing special. I have no plans on returning here and wouldn't recommend.

It was pretty busy tonight due to Veteran's Day. Olive Garden celebrated the holiday & honored service members by providing a free entree that includes garlic bread and a bowl of soup or salad. We sat at the bar to bypass the 30-45 minute wait. Brenda & her manager were incredibly attentive & pleasant despite being slammed with so many people to tend to. The place was packed but they were efficient, we were in and out of there in less than an hour. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, delicious & portioned generously. I had to take most of it to-go. Our food was good & it came out fast.. Customer service was on point.

Been coming to this Olive Garden for years. While the food came out fresh, fast, and hot. I could help but notice a strange smell when entering the establishment.After we were seated I couldn't help but notice the condition and lacking cleanliness. This place could use a thorough clean, and would be good as new.

The restaurant was near an event I attended. The place was crowded in early afternoon. We were willing to wait for a booth, even though tables were ready. We didn't wait longer than five minutes. We tried the stuffed pastas. I don't like "all you can eat" but we were able to box what we couldn't finish. The server was attentive and anticipated items we might want. Bonus points for extra mints.

The customer service is terrible at this location and I will not go to this location again. The service is worse each time we have gone to this location. Tonight the garlic bread sticks were stale, no garlic on them and cold. Found a half of one in our basket. Brought only my husband's entree and were shocked when we asked where is our salad and my entree. Eventually the server brought the salad and my hot entree. Husband's entree was too dried out to eat from the heat lamp. Manager did not seem to care, made a very weak offer of apology. We would just like good customer service. Ambiance was ok.Salad Bowl

What a disappointment after a long year of COVID - we wanted to come here so badly! 25 min wait at 4:30pm. I observed plenty of staff, but a mostly empty restaurant and not one person in the bar as they said they didn't have a bartender. We were sat at the bar area for our dinner which was very disappointing. Server was great and the food was really good. I really see our issues as a management problem. Very confusing payment system, would much rather pay a human.

I think the current 3 star review of this restaurant is a little low. It has good consistent food but the service is nice and quick today. We came about 4:30 pm and the whole restaurant was empty except for like dozen employees. My friend and I both ordered their all you can eat soup, salad & breadsticks. I'm giving it a 4 star review today because there was just nothing special about coming here today, no suggestions, service could have been quicker and more caring rather than by the book. It wasn't even all by the book, we had to ask for more bread sticks because we only got 2 to start with.

I know Olive Garden is a chain restaurant but it doesn't stop me from loving them in general. This location is different though. Please, go for a meal with family, friends or by yourself and ask for Neriah as your server-- you won't regret it and I guarantee it will be the best meal and experience at any restaurant. He is funny, personable and just a great server. He has so much personality and makes your party feel like it's a 5-star gourmet restaurant. Friendly, attentive and just all around makes the experience a true experience. We've been back and will continue to come back just to have Neriah as our server.

I am disappointed with the service I received after I placed and picked up an online order for curbside delivery. Once I arrived back home, I discovered that my order was missing spinach dip. Instead of reaching out to the manager, I called and spoke with Paula, who prepared my order. I explained to Paula that my order had not contained the spinach dip that I ordered, and she seemed confused and unable to understand, which could have been due to the language barrier. So, I slowly repeated my concern, and I told her that I was returning to the restaurant. Once I arrived, I called and notified the staff that I was there to pick up the missing spinach dip from my order. The individual who answered the phone apologized and asked what complimentary dessert I would like for the inconvenience. I decided to go with the strawberry cheesecake; however, they gave me a creme cake instead (not an issue). Paula came back to my vehicle and emphatically told me that she remembered putting the spinach dip in the bag, and the staff was reviewing the cameras. I attempted to tell Paula that the spinach dip wasn't checked off on the receipt as all the other items were, but she rudely interrupted me and stated that she knows it's on the receipt, but she reassured me that she made no mistake. I draw the line where I, as a customer, shouldn't feel guilty about wanting everything that I pay for and not have someone insinuate that I'm being dishonest. Why would I drive back to a restaurant if my order had been correctly filled the first time?! I could've been home, enjoying my meal. Instead, I had to leave my other food at home to drive back and retrieve something that I had paid for, which was an inconvenience.

After being seated and even ordering drinks we were informed that our well behaved dog was not welcome to stay with us on their OUTDOOR PATIO. Our dog is part of the family and goes to restaurants all the time - service dog or not. No one speaks to my pup like that. We went about 20ft to the left and ate on the patio abutting this one. They were happy to have our business

So disappointed in not getting my Olive Garden "fix." Drove 30 minutes to dine here specifically last Wednesday 9/14 around 7pm. It was just me and my boyfriend and we were seated immediately in an area surrounded by 4 other occupied tables. Disclaimer: I used to work as an Olive Garden server a few years ago and am familiar with how seating tables works. We sat there for 15 minutes with multiple servers walking around us to the other tables, bringing food out, asking how everyone was doing, and not once did any of the 5-6 servers we saw stop to acknowledge us. We were patient, understanding how sometimes people get sat without the server knowing, but after waiting for so long and being absolutely dying of thirst (I just wanted a water!!) we ultimately left without anybody even noticing us. Do better, OG.

By far i felt like i was treated like royalty at this Olive Garden. Awesome service from our waiter and hostess. We were first seated in the center near the fireplace. Our table kept on moving since it was unbalanced, which scared me because they now have wine glasses place on the table. Our waiter noticed and immediately switch us to a booth. He brought out our drinks and was very consistent with the bread, which i loved. The food was very delicious. We ordered the endless pasta and without asking he had a second plate waiting for us. It was like he was reading my mind. Overall i will definetly be coming back.

Came here to grab a quick lunch. They have great specials for lunch. You can order a soup or salad and entree or just get the all you can eat soup, salad and breadsticks for $8. We were seated as soon as we came in. It was clean. The service was very good our waitress was friendly and very accommodating. She quickly brought everything we requested. The salad was delicious as always and the soups were very good. Our favorite was the creamy chicken and gnocchi soup. It was fresh, well seasoned, and very tasty. We even got a tasting of wine.

No complaints about the server , she was amazing and so sweet!. Just wish they could be more careful with the food and not let this happen again.

So...I was looking through a coupon flyer and came across a coupon that got me thinking. Then, I cut it out, went to my husband and said, "You're probably going to think that I lost my mind but..." Now that got his attention! So, on I continued, "how about we go to the Olive Garden for Sunday's vegan dinner?" After he learned that they do have a few vegan items on the menu and that we would save $4.00, he said, "okay". I jokingly refer to The Olive Garden as The Awful Garden. Not because the food is inedible but rather that it is in no way is authentic. My husband agrees with that assessment, too. We were spoiled growing up in MA with a plethora of decent red sauce places to choose from. We hadn't been to The Olive Garden in years---and didn't miss it (obviously). We got here around 5 p.m. on a Sunday and noticed that it looked the same as it did the last time we were here years ago. The restaurant was doing a brisk business and got busier---and noisier as our meal progressed. I have to ding them a bit when it came to service. It took longer than it should have before a server came to our table. When he arrived, he was friendly but told us that this wasn't his table , that it was Adrienne's table and that she was busy. He then took our drink orders. My husband ordered a glass of Chianti and I decided to go for an Italian Margarita. The Italian Margarita consisted of "Sauza Gold Tequila, Triple Sec and DiSarrono Amaretto", served on the rocks with a rim of salt. This drink was strangely presented as the Amaretto was served in a small glass on the side (see my photo). It was a tasty drink and packed a punch. I saved the Amaretto and treated it as a dessert drink. After the waiter brought our drinks, he then took our dinner order. We never did see any sign of Adrienne as he ended up being the one taking care of us. For our main course, we both ordered Capellini Pomodoro. For those not wanting a vegan meal, for an extra charge you can add chicken or shrimp to this dish. Of course, the meal came with the "endless salad bowl" and garlic breadsticks. The only lettuce in the salad was iceberg lettuce. With the exception of red onion, they were stingy with the other ingredients --- two tomato slices, two black olives and two Italian peppers. Olive Garden Italian salad dressing was added to the bowl. it wasn't a bad salad, just lackluster. The garlic breadsticks were soft and fresh but only had a faint hint of garlic. The Capellini Pomodoro was decent and the tomato sauce was chunky with bits of basil added. All in all, filling but nothing to write home about. The amount of food given was just enough---not overly filling. I think the trick with The Olive Garden is to go there with reduced expectations and you won't be disappointed. We would consider going the next time I find a coupon LOL!

This Olive Garden is our go-to place. Our waitress, Brenda was very attentive. We ate at the bar and didn't have to wait long. The food was delicious. I had the chicken parmigiana which is my favorite. My husband got the chicken piccata which he said was not as good as mine but the parmesan crusted zucchini was amazing! There was so much food and Kevin packed them for us. The night was ripped off by the Olive Garden mints!

I have been to Olive Garden since I was a kid, and as for any chain restaurant you kind of expect the same thing time and time again. Well tonight my friend and I decided we wanted (me I wanted) all of the carbs and olive gardens commercial came in and convinced us that was where we needed to go! We get there around 6 pm, average dinner time, and get seated immediately. Nice. At the beginning of our experience I believe there was a little confusion about who our actual server was and a few different servers helped us out, once the confusion was settled our server Trenton apologized for the confusion and made sure our evening from then on went smoothly. He was FANTASTIC! He really went above and beyond to try and make our experience better after the initial confusion, which really wasn't a big deal but we really appreciated his effort! Overall this restaurant always delivers and they have a great new screen system at each table making it easy to pay/split checks and order right at your table!! We are looking forward to more salad and breadsticks very soon!!

Im tired of this restaurant. My family comes here every Sunday and I dread it to death. This is the lowest of the low on eating out. My Italian friend came here and was disgraced by the lack of authenticity the food had. In my opinion this food is mid. Its not bad but its not good. I don't want to come here ever again. When I have kids this is the last place they will come before their death so they can know what they didn't miss out on.
