A reservation was made and we made our way in Saturday to celebrate. My husband and I were late arriving cause of work. But my family and friends got drinks and apps started. I wasn't expecting them to wait but I'm happy that they did! The drinks and apps kept them at bay till we arrived. The venue is stunning! I love the decor here. I have always been intrigued with European vintage decor and this restaurant is beautifully devoted decorated with this kind of esthetic. Such a romantic setting. The rich deep red wall. The ornate vintage frames. The plants. It's truly a beautiful set up. After my husband and I got settled in and drinks ordered, we got dinner placed. I got 2 orders of meatballs and my husband got the seafood pasta. While food was being worked on, everyone shared the bread and balsamic olive oil dip that was on the table. I heard the bread was good. I didn't get a chance to try it since it was communal. Our meals were slowly trickling out. My meatballs looked amazing! My husband's plate looked fabulous. You can see the shrimp, mussels, clams.... We all became quiet and started on our meals. My meatballs were huge! I have had meatballs at other restaurants and have been hungry still. The size of these babies let me know I was not going to have that issue. It was nicely covered in marinara. A hearty covering of parmesan. Everything about the meatballs were great! I have severe fomo so of course I had to try my husband's plate. I tried a couple of his penne. I was really thrown back at the heat of the sauce. I tried another bite and it was still spicy. The spice was something neither one of us were expecting. Before I say anything to our server, I did look over the menu to see if we missed anything in the description of the dish. No chili was listed. Nothing about it being garnished with chili flakes. From reading the menu, no spice was described in the dish. My husband has a real sensitive pallet so I asked the manager/owner why spice wasn't indicted in the menu. We wouldn't have ordered it if there was. The manager said they can remove the sauce and add new sauce that didn't have chili flakes in it. "It would make it less spicy." I was actually surprised he didn't suggest a new dish that didn't have heat in it. We were complaining about the heat and I honestly don't think replacing sauce that has spice in it with new sauce with spice will do anything.... but hey, we went with it. The second dish was made and dropped off. Unfortunately, the sauce was still spicy and my husband could barely eat it. He ate the seafood which was a few pieces of shrimp, clams, bay scallops, mussels and fish. This dish was drowned in this sauce so there was no way to eat the seafood with the sauce. This dish is 34 bucks and my husband could barely finish the seafood. Our server was kind and got me birthday dessert. The chocolate cake was killer good! It wasn't overly sweet. The frosting was rich in chocolate and the cake was super moist. I only took a couple bites and took the rest home. I was not going to leave this bad boy behind. We spent a little over 70 dollars on dinner to have my husband leave hungry. I came home and made him a second dinner. Nothing more disappointing than spending that much money just to come home and eat again. Money is tight for everyone so the fact that we chose to come here and spend our heard earned money to have my husband hungry just makes my heart sad. Overall, my meatballs and cake were good. Service was great. The venue is very pretty. But, having my husband eat a meal that was poorly described in the menu is just disappointing and having him leave husband is upsetting. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't think we will be hitting up this joint again any time soon.

We've been coming here as a family for a long time, and this experience was very unlike the positive visits we usually have. First, I want to say the food was amazing as always, and we have absolutely nothing against Chicago Fire as a whole. We genuinely love this restaurant and that's why we felt it was important to share this experience honestly. Throughout the meal, the way Marshall stared at our table made several of us uncomfortable. We also overheard him speaking to coworkers in a way that came across as dismissive and disrespectful. The overall service felt awkward and unpleasant from start to finish. At the end of the meal, he handed us a Yelp review card and asked us to leave a review to help him win money of some sort, which honestly made the situation even more uncomfortable given the experience we had just had. We will absolutely continue supporting Chicago Fire because we've always had great experiences otherwise, but we sincerely hope we do not have Marshall as our server again.

Reese was the server for our lunchtime meal. Her name leads these comments because it was the…read morequality of her friendly and efficient service that made all the difference for what was only the second visit to an Olive Garden my hubby and I have ever made and the last one was 26 years ago in a suburb of Portland, Oregon. (I assume this was before Reese was born.) It was such a bad experience for food that we said "never EVER again" and we have not been tempted to break that vow until a couple of weeks ago, We were feeling just shy of starving at a lunch time and drove by this relatively new OG location and noticed the parking lot was uncharacteristically empty so in we went to give it a try as the option between us and starvation. SERVICE: When Reese asked if we had been to Olive Garden before and we told her how long it had been in between visits, it was as if it was her personal mission to ensure we enjoyed this lunch. And we did. Her service for timing and attention was perfect. EATS: The lunch menu has some great prices and serving sizes right in our lane of being enough but not too much. My husband is Sicilian heritage (both sides were immigrants) and grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn so he is particular about Italian food by both nature and nurture. That shared, we both found the food and sauces to be good enough to enjoy eating it again if we were in the area at a similar time. We also appreciated the nice touch of salad plates arriving at the table chilled and the salad bowl, we both ordered salad with our lunch given the option of "...our soup", had fresh ingredients and had been tossed with just the right amount of dressing. (I think servers do the salad bowl prep here.) A chain restaurant is never destination dining for us, but this food was better than a Italian wanna-be restaurant (I'm looking at you Nick's in Meridian) we suffered through a couple of months ago. VIBE: I imagine all OG restaurants are about the same inside given the chain nature of them. Clean, bright, some corporate design vision of Italian surrounds. Pleasant. PARKING: The strip mall located parking lot looks huge but you'd be surprised how many times we have driven by here to see it packed. ACCESSIBILITY: Several ADA spots in the lot. Level in from sidewalk through the door. Some tables are accessible to wheelchair users.

There nachos are definitely a standout as they put bbq sauce and beer battered cheese that adds a great flavor profile.

I know a lot of people also complain about places now a day will skimp out and not have a side so very happy that the order comes with fries.
