Olive Garden. A Family Meal To Remember.
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
Olive Garden restaurants are plentiful both in and around Orlando, Florida. The Italian restaurant chain is fairly unique in that it is not a franchised chain of restaurants, and therefore patrons are likely to have a slightly different dining experience in any one of the many Olive Garden restaurants. With so many diverse dining opportunities around though why choose Olive Garden? Well having been to Orlando on numerous occasions, my family and I decided to find out just how good these popular Italian restaurants really are. (more…)
