"I am typically a big fan of Olive Garden, but the service I received tonight was awful. We were seated quickly, but our group of 4 was placed at a small table in the corner while 6 other groups were seated at much larger tables, and there were two empty tables nearby. It took 25 minutes for a server to take our drink order, and when we tried to order our food at the same time, he said he would be right back. After waiting another 20 minutes, our drinks finally arrived and our order was taken. It then took 15 minutes for our soup and salad to be served. Our server did not clear the empty dishes from the table before we wanted to place our entree plates, and when we tried to stack them to make space, it seemed like an unreasonable request to him. Throughout our meal, the server stood several feet away from the table and spoke softly, causing us to constantly ask him to repeat himself. It was clear that he was concerned about proximity to others, but if it affected his ability to serve guests properly, he should have worn his mask over his face instead of below his nose. The food was fine, but the service was terrible. I would give 0 stars if I could, but I am forced to give 1 star."
