We were a group of 14 who recently ate at the Brown Bottle. The food was excellent. The ambiance…read moreenjoyable. The service - it could be better. They were busy so that was probably part of it. Let's start with the ambiance. I'm not sure what the building was used for originally. Maybe a hotel? But it is very big, historic, multiple rooms, just an interesting and cool space. All of the food was delicious. For appetizers we had the sauteed mushrooms, meatballs, salsiccia, and garlic bread. You'll want extra garlic bread to soak up the sauces in all of these dishes. Generous portions, delicious flavors, all winners. Our group had many different entrees, and everyone was pleased. Portions were large, so most people ended up with boxes to take home leftovers. We were too full for dessert. My only reservation about Brown Bottle was the service. They were busy. But the servers just seemed inexperienced. They brought all the appetizers but didn't notice we had no plates, so we had to go and ask for those. They also never refilled our waters. Pretty much every glass was empty. When we asked for additional drinks, she brought those, but we never saw any water pitchers, and she only refilled the specific people who asked for additional water. That just seems like something an experience server will notice. Nevertheless, I'd definitely go back. All the dishes our group tried were delicious!

We had a variety of food and everything was delicious. I had chicken Dijon with twice baked potato, and it was yummy. I was so full from the delicious salad with creamy garlic dressing and a piece of bread that I could hardly eat it. It will be great leftovers. Husband had prime rib with twice baked potatoes and he loved it. Others had the salmon which was good with the vegetable mix and another had Greek shrimp. A friend had the prosciutto with fresh mushrooms and it was huge! We all tasted it and ended up taking half of it home. Manicotti was tasty as was the orange roughy. Good food, great service, & a great atmosphere!

My wife and I are visiting Waterloo from the Quad-Cities, so we are very familiar with Olive…read moreGarden. We were very unhappy with our server, Ben, who had shoulder-length hair, all the way around. Everytime he was at our table he took his hand and put it in hair to get it out of his eyes. He did this frequently. He also let it hang when he bent over to put cheese on our salad or soup. We were lucky no hair got in our food. I am a former fast food restaurant manager, so I know about food service sanitation. He should've had his hair tied back and out of face so he wouldn't have to put his hands in his hair then handle our food. I brought this to the attention of the manager, who should've been aware of this and trained Ben not to do this. I'd be wary about going to this Olive Garden with their food sanitation practices.

After about 10 minutes of waiting a family walks in and the hostess seats them immediately (no reservation). We ask why we are still sitting there and the hostess says "I'm so sorry no one told me you were waiting nor wrote you down".... Thankfully the service got much better after that. Our server was very pleasant and apologized again for the rough start. A manager came over to get details of our troubles and apologized. Breadsticks and 5 cheese dipping sauce was good. The soup was yummy. The main dish of manicotti and three meat was amazingly good. One odd thing was my raspberry lemonade came out warm lol, the pitcher and glass must have just came from dishwasher because it had ice, it was just very warm to drink. We shall return for more Italian goodies.
