Awesome food as always. Our server, although very polite, was rather pushy trying to force wine or a wine sample on us. We don't drink. The server didn't seem to believe us and persisted offering different types of wine.
Outside of that, the food was great!

Olive Garden does not have much on the gluten free menu. I do want you to know, the gluten free Rotini with Meat Sauce is fantastic! The pasta was cooked perfect.

Why can't this place get it right. Can't seem to catch a night when they do good. Fair service, bread sticks and salad but the entries fell flat on their face. My shrimp and chicken carbonara was hot but tasteless. My wife's mussels were ice cold. We shared my meal until we finally flagged down another server, ours had disappeared. Offered to reheat mussels, yeah right, if you want rubber bands. Offered to make a new dish, 15 minute wait, but we finished my meal and didn't feel like waiting. Our server did drop by with the adjust check saying nothing. If the bread and salad were bad we would not even try this place.

Sometimes, well, most times, when we arrive with our little children we get put to the back corner but we're ok with that because it's more comfortable for us and the other guest! This Olive Garden was no exception. Except this time we were in the back of the restaurant, or so it seemed, but we were ok with that too. We had almost the entire back room with an attentive server so it was a pleasant experience for all. And our kids were able to stretch out a bit. The food was great and the environment welcoming. Thank you!

Sadly, Olive garden has removed MANY fine dishes from their menu over the past 2 years. can you imagine - going to an ostensibly Italian restaurant and NOT being able to order Sausage & Peppers? And to get plain flour pasta (not wheat pasta, which is usually like eating shoestrings) with Alfredo sauce, you have to order it "special" -- and add a meat of any kind? Fuhgeddaboudit!
But, that's every Olive Garden now, so on to Garland - Firewheel...
Service - Fair. Waiter was reasonably cheerful but not too attentive; nor was he aware of, or helpful with, a glaring error (which I will get to in a minute).
Food - Good (not great). They've simply toyed with the menu too much. Yes, you can get bowl of pasta and tomato gravy with meatballs, but they've just gone too "Tuscan". and this location seemed to struggle with any "off menu" requests.
Atmosphere - Good. It's an Olive Garden, they're all the same. This one wasn't particularly loud, not full of obnoxious people, uncontrolled children or screaming babies -- so it was pleasant.
Presentation - Bad. They made a mistake in the selection my wife had made; it was taken back to the kitchen, but instead of remaking the dish, they simply corrected the error and then returned it to her IN A TO-GO BOX! At the table. That's what they served her meal in. And the waiter thought nothing of that -- no comment, no apology.
Bottom line -- my next visit to this location (assuming they remain open) will be Never.
