I don't love it. We went once, expecting some issues because of the recent opening but our visit was extremely unpleasant. The wait staff was very courteous but everything else was pretty crappy. His food came out 20 minutes after mine and neither dish was necessarily worth the wait.
However, having said that, we'll give it another shot when the newness wears off a little. We mostly like Olive Garden for the soup, salad, and breadsticks lunch special. Hopefully the one bad experience is all we'll have.

They've found a way to make Italian food taste like fast food, and its Olive Garden. Bread, bread, and more bread.

How can it be a "chain resturant"? It's the only one in St. Mary's
Because they have them all over the place, Olive Garden is a chain, as in across the country. Not just in St. Mary's.

I love Texas Road House
The new Olive Garden is amazing. I usually eat there around twice a week.

The great thing about this new Olive Garden are the phone numbers posted on the walls of the bathrooms!

We avoided going at first because of the long line of cars down the access road behind the construction. We finally went last week when there looked to be some parking spaces in the parking lot (probably around 9:00 p.m.) and got seated right away.
Our server told us that since the parking lot wasn't completed yet, the staff are the ones parking down that road, which makes it look like it's more crowded than it is, and they haven't been as busy as they predicted because of it.
Waited a little longer than I would have liked for our food, but it was good by Olive Garden standards. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and of course the place was nice since it's still brand new.
All in all, it's not a bad place to go.

Monterey's is Mexican and it's very good. Asahi is Japanese very good also, you can sit at the grill or have a regular table. They have a sushi bar as well, also very good. Both are in the San Souci Shopping Center.
