The Olive Garden was unfortunately hugely disappointing after being highly anticipated by me and my friends. We attended as a group of 5 on 28/12/2024. There were a number of issues which I didn't expect from a restaurant which attracts such highly rated reviews: Several of us noted that the food was very bland and not well seasoned. Flavours were muted and very disappointing. We all agreed that the risotto was very watery. It was akin to congee. The bread served with starters had a poor texture and did not seem fresh. It seemed to be similar in texture to 1 day old bread. The bottle of Chardonnay we ordered did not taste like what would be expected from a high quality Chardonnay. Instead of the typical buttery and oaky flavours and textures, it was acidic , sharp, and quite unpleasant. Several of us really did not enjoy the food and were confused about the reviews here. Also we spoke to some locals a day later for restaurant recommendations and without prompting they actually suggested to avoid The Olive Garden! I could not believe it. I'm giving 2 stars because the staff were friendly and polite. It would otherwise be 1 star because for the prices the quality really is unacceptable. Very confused and disappointed.
