Great food at a good price but they need some muisc,to much noise in the dining room area.
Our server had to many tables,that hurt our service a little even though she was very good.
Read More On Citysearch JPS 5/18/2003 - Are you crazyThere a too many great restaurants for romance in Detroit to have Olive Garden in the top ten. Their food just isn't that great. Add the fact that this is a "family chain" restaurant and your romance factor is going to go into negative numbers with all the screaming children sitting around you. Go somewhere else!
Read More On Citysearch tekkitty 3/24/2003 - Romance for bottom dwellers maybe!
I can't believe that the Olive Garden would place in ANY 'best' list. It is to Italian food, what Chi Chi's is to Mexican.......If my husband ever brought me there for romance, I'd have to have his head examined. He knows that the best romantic spot for me is Cariera's Cucina in Dearborn Heights........

The only thing that could be attributed to anyone thinking Olive Garden is romantic has been taking in too much of the city's pollution. Good value and Italian American food - yes!

Read More On Citysearch BillMMich 12/19/2002 - Romantic????Olive Garden romantic?? Its liud, usually lots of kids--so-so Italian food--Its like a party place--
If your looking to impress or bring romance into your relationship Olive Garden is not the place to go.

Read More On Citysearch froggy1 12/11/2002 - foodwell my very first time to olive garden was last month and the food was great , but for some reason it seamed like the waitress was trying to sell us EVERYTHING like it was some sales tactic and we really dident like that at all but it was an ok visit we tried the muscles for the first time and they were delicious i would give olive garden a 7

Go to some of the really romantic ones in Windsor for heavens sake!! Get out of the chains!!! Try Andiamo there are like seven of them. This is a sure sign of the end of the world

Read More On Citysearch vitowas 12/8/2002 - IckGet some orginal ideas and hit a decent restaurant. This over garlic-ridden haunt is for people that have no idea what real food should taste like.
Read More On Citysearch breeze1969 11/20/2002 - C'mon !Olive Garden? Not only does it serve sub-par Italian cuisine, but the place screams FRANCHISE
Most Romantic? C'mon ! Absolutely NOT.
Read More On Citysearch Dynamik1 11/15/2002 - Olive Garden? Are you serious?Who was the one to do this review? You have Whitney as 1, then you jump to the Olive Garden? Those two restaurants shouldnt even be in the same line up. Although the other choices have my vote.
Read More On Citysearch rossmega 11/14/2002 - Romantic???????An 'American/Italian" chain restaurant most romantic? I find this the farthest thing from that.
Read More On Citysearch battista 10/29/2002 - overratedOlive Garden offers comparatively inexpensive food that gives Italian food a bed name. The bread sticks are fresh and salad is a good start, but the past is only a step up from Price. The service is friendly, but treats you differently if you order one of the promotions. All in all, it is average fare with atmosphere.
Read More On Citysearch clifton_hitchcock 10/21/2002 - Fast Food Italian StyleThe Olive is just another Fast Food type resturant, without being fast. The wait time for a table is a ridiculous. The word Romantic should not be associated with this place, because it is anything but romantic. As for the food - Its about the equivalent of entrees' from the frozen foods section of any grocery store.
Read More On Citysearch mschrystal 10/20/2002 - Olive Garden - romantic?? PLEASE!!!!I am amazed to see Olive Garden listed anywhere near romantic. It is crowded, noisy, serving "pre-cooked" sauces and frozen dishes -- If this is someone's idea of romantic, they really need to get out more!!!
Read More On Citysearch fivebyfiftyfive 10/2/2002 - C'mon now!The Olive Garden is not much more than a fast food restaurant chain that serves slightly better than fast food. Romantic? Don't go into the Livonia location anytime after 8:00PM. It's scary! As far as romantic restaurants in the greater Detroit metropolitan area, the Olive Garden wouldn't rate in my Top 100.
Read More On Citysearch mjkelly77 9/21/2002 - romantic? Dont think sowhile they do have good food, the atmosphere is often geared to the family dining (including children and babies). I would consider this a nice place to bring my whole family but not on a romantic evening out.
Read More On Citysearch musiclvrdeb 9/20/2002 - Puuuuhlease!Come on fellow Detroiters, is that the best we could come up with. Live a little, The Olive Garden is simply glorified fast food. I'm pretty sure the chefs at your local Olive Garden have never even been outside of Michigan, never mind study in Italy. With so many great restaurants in the Metro-Detroit area how could The Olive Garden be rated the 2nd most romantic place to eat. I'm embarassed.
Read More On Citysearch lisa_ann 9/17/2002 - Romantic?I can't agree that this resturant is romantic at all. Good food and fairly good wine list yes, but it is generally too loud and too bright to be considered romantic.
Read More On Citysearch dana912 9/14/2002 - An upscaled TroughSure it's an upscaled trough, big portions, too much salt, butter, etc... Ambiance? If that's ambiance I need to crawl under a rock. Overall a six, because the dining in Michigan is generally so poor as to stagger the mind.

Read More On Citysearch terismith111 8/27/2002 - Italian comfort foodAVERAGE for a chain...NOT in the league of Lelli's or ANY of the great Italian restaurants in Windsor!!
Read More On Citysearch rv9999 8/13/2002 - so goodsalad, bread, pasta are to die for, no rush from employees , just time to relax and enjoy.
Read More On Citysearch pattyd 8/8/2002 - Yummy for my TummyFinding a good restaurant is an important key when going out on the town. I've been to Olive Garden several times and everytime I go the food and service seems to be getting better. I really enjoy Olive Garden and I will continue to go there.
