When you go,to,Olive Garden you know what to expect. Great Italian food and plenty of it. The refillable soup and salad are very good and the choice of main dishes is vast. It is a nice place for friends and groups. It does get noisy...

They have such a big selection. But, who can pass up the yummy breadsticks, salad or soup unlimited & your entree. they do offer healthier versions so that's great when your trying to watch the figure!

I enjoy lunch there with my friends more than dinner. Love the fresh salad and breadsticks. Most of their chicken dishes are very good as is their eggplant dish.

I love ordering the bottomless soup bowl & salad at lunch. A healothy bargain. The three soups offered, maybe four, are all fresh and fairly wholesome. Delicious. The atmosphere is always nice, and so is the service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

the flavors are fantastic along with the fresh salad greens and delicious soups. Of course, everyone appreciates the bread sticks and dreams about them long after they have left the restaurant. Plan on returning soon.

I think Olive Garden is a bit overpriced for the quality of food and drink that they serve. But, my kids love their bread sticks so we opted to have dinner here on 1/1/11. The Brea location is easily accessible from the freeway. The wait time was less than 30 minutes and the estimate time they gave us was close... More
