Olive Garden improved their company performance since Darden brands shed their other restaurants (Red Lobster and a few others).
Now they have Seasons 52 and Capitol Grill. They are doing very well.
Hopefully they can feed cash to Ruth’s Chris for expansion without sacrificing quality. I’m skeptical.

If I had the choice, I'd take Carabba's over Olive Garden.
I'm going to be honest, I might take Fazolis over Olive Garden these days. That's how shitty they've gotten.

Sucks for their hourly employees if they implement the same policies as OG. Goodbye full-time hours. Not sure if that's all of Darden or just OG though.

I assume the owner owns the building and has very little monthly overhead. Otherwise I have no idea how that place stays open.

Imonelli (there is no ‘s) is great, so is Marcello’s

1out of every 3 visits, the steak was just bad.
Didn’t make it that far. 1 time for the price vs quality of the meal… I was done. Gimme Logan’s, Saltgrass, or Chophouse.
As far as Olive Garden…. GIMMEEEE!!!!!

Cook your noodles right and it’s just making a good sauce with OG. Ya go there to get full with a group on the cheap. Steak requires a finer touch on the grill by a quality cook and a great cut of meat and superb seasoning. That’s why steakhouses charge more… especially exclusive ones like Ruth’s. You expect more than just “a meal” when you go. That’s where you take your wife for Anniversaries, your Prom date, people who’s business you want, etc…
Steakhouses are supposed to be different level. When you get underserved or underwhelmed at OG you say “maybe they had a busy night”. When the same happens at a high-end steakhouse, you say “whelp, last time they’re getting my $200.”
