Thanks to wanda (cw0904)

We went last night, they have 2 packages.
12.95 and 14.95. We of course like the 14.95.
We will have a separate section to ourselves with our own waiters.......

They were very nice. If anyone wants a reasonalby priced RD this is it.
We were so stressed about the cost of our RD b/c of our huge BP, but were AOK now

LOL, I don't think they have a package for just breadsticks

We had dinner there as well last night, Len had the Tour of Italy, and didnt finish it
I had the Chicken scampi, YUMMY but even I couldnt finish it after all those breadsticks
We have our leftovers for dinner tonight

i like the first package b/c their portabello raviolis are to die for, so yummy! that is a great idea for a rd, wish i'd thought of it, but we already booked somewhere else, oh well. enjoy!!

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

I asked my sister and boss, they both said the first one b/c they like the choices better. I will probably go with that b/c that's what Len wanted too

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

sounds good, illhave to mention that as a suggestion to FMIL for RD.
me and FI went to olive garden this past week, he loves the Tour of italy also but found something in it, so we wrote them and they are correcting the problem(looks like we'll be back at olive garden soon):

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.. fiance found black hair in his pasta, not as bad as a roach though. we wrote them and they said theyre sending something in the mail.... this was also the westbury one... last year 1 time his pasta was cold, and lasagna badly burned and they send us a gift certificate to go back, we went to the massapequa one instead, but then went back to using the westbury location..

Honestly Ladies.... If you knew what was in the kitchens at the restaurants you eat at, you would never leave home! I have found an industrial staple, a fly, blond hair from places I won’t mention. If you look at the Board of Health or something like that’s website, you can search restaurants and what their inspections were like. You would be SURPRISED at what you read! And I am talking about very nice places!

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

Wanda- that's exactly what i just finished telling Liz

BUT one thing is knowing about it and another is actually having it happened to you

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

CW, my grandma was a jewish caterer up til a few years ago, she had ALOT of stories about what the kitchens had in them, its not going to keep me from going out, I just look at the entree when it comes to the table( and sometimes I end up with a free meal)

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

I agree- a lot of restaurants are gross! Know which isn't, though? Chili's in East Northport. I worked there for a while. The kitchen was spotless.

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

FI liked the idea of RD at olive garden, he then asked if we could have our wedding their! no joke!

Re: We reserved Olive Garden for our RD............

LIZ, this was an AWESOME idea, never even thought of them. I am still on the hunt for a place!! I called the one near me though and they are BOOKED SOLID for the months of MAY AND JUNE!
