   The best lunch prices for a sit down meal. The new chicken marsala is to die for especially with the mushroom gravy over the mashed potatoes. Can't beat all the soup or salad and breadsticks. Serevice is great.

   So never expecting to much...from a chain restaurant but really - no white wine, most fish dishes (we are in Hawaii for goodness sake) unavailable. The waiter was was great and a bit embarressed. Well hope for better next time.

   The prices have gotten really high, I was surprised and for the price, I could’ve eaten at a nicer place. The food was ok, I was the only one who really enjoyed my meal, I had the steak and a small amount of noodles. The salad was pretty good, nothing special. The bread was great! Fresh, soft and delicious. Our server was the best part, super attentive and helpful. Keep us updated on the status of our meal and was very efficient and helpful.

   It was my friend’s retirement celebration and I told her she got to choose the restaurant and that’s how we ended up at Olive Garden. Right off the bat, my request for a table with the ocean view was accommodated. Because we decided to meet up during lunch time, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to see the water off the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor & Magic Island from this location at Ala Moana. We both ordered the Bottomless Soup & Salad & breadsticks with a glass of moscato. The minestrone soup was delicious and the breadsticks had just enough of a savory garlic taste - the salad was mediocre done mostly with iceberg lettuce garnished with tomato olives sliced red onion and pepperocini Our server was more than gracious in making sure our salad dressing choices were off to the side. We also ordered the meatball appetizer - 5 large ones in a very nicely done marinara sauce Total bill $72.00 which I thought to be quite pricey. If the salad could be ramped up to include some spring mix just to make it visually interesting and if the prices for the wine were tempered down ( really ?! $10.00 for a glass when you could easily buy a bottle for $9.99?), I’d come back.

   Sat on the patio with a nice breeze! Seated immediately and enjoyed a leisurely lunch with views of the ocean! We are not in Kansas anymore.

   Olive Garden was amazing from the service we received when walking in, then the food which was absolutely delicious and well sized. I just wish we had it in Australia. Will visit again and highly recommend.
