Olive Garden Merritt Island

Thirty years ago, she said “Yes” at the Olive Garden on Merritt Island FL. My wife and I were engaged to be married on August 29, 1991 in the 3rd booth at the back of the restaurant, and we have a photo of that night.

When doing food service, one bad day can make or break you. The first bread sticks we were served were so hard you literally couldn't put a dent in them and the first bowl of chicken gnocchi soup, the pasta was golf ball size starchy mess. As you will notice the second batch of bread sticks was hot and soft, the second bowl of soup was so good I forgot to take a picture. The main entrees was appealing and delicious. The waiter was very pleasant.

Always love eating at Olive Garden. We tried the extra large Chicken Parmigiana. It was delicious and plentiful. We had 2 meals out of it. The Grilled Chicken Margherita was delicious. The soupa Tuscana didn't taste right but they promptly brought more out from a fresh batch and it was lovely. Please give a thumbs up if my review and/or pictures were helpful to you. SMile!
