My Favorite Restaurant
My Favorite Restaurant
Technique #5

“The trouble with eating Italian food,” says Woody Allen, “is that five or six days later you’re hungry again.” This is, any way you put it, true. My favorite restaurant, Olive Garden, proves Woody right. When you get there you’re starved, rapidly going over their perfectly priced menu items, flipping through its pages, after ten minutes of going back and forward with the menu you finally decide. Your order is brought to you within minutes, you take your time enjoying your food in that comforting atmosphere, and once you’re done you’re hunger is more than satisfied. The worst thing that could possibly happen is to arrive at a restaurant, famished, and none of its menu items please you. Well that happened to me once: my family and I were on vacation and we had just finished coming back from the water parks - picture our hunger - after half an hour of searching for a restaurant we finally found one - “Tony Roma’s,” Read the sign out in the front. It sounded pleasing. It was all fine until I looked their menu, I could probably list their menu items with one hand. Well with Olive Garden it’s the total opposite. Its menu contains the most scrumptious meals on earth and not just a couple, but many of them. Finding a good restaurant is not hard, but finding a good affordable one is. Remember when I said they had perfectly priced menu items, well I wasn’t lying. An amazing dinner for a family of five comes out to being around $80 to $90. That’s pretty good if you ask me. The great thing is, if you love food like me, is that there plates are twice the size of what a grown man could possibly eat, which you end up taking home - and possibly eating a day later, when you’re finally hungry again. Don’t you hate those annoying waiters, well I do. You won’t ever find them in Olive Garden, well at least I haven’t seen any around in the many years I’ve been eating there. Their clean, comfortable atmosphere is probably what I enjoy

    I am currently employed at the Olive Garden in Oshkosh WI so I only thought doing my managerial report project on this service restaurant was appropriate. The Oshkosh Olive Garden was opened in the April of last year and has been running smoothly ever since. Olive Garden is a chain restaurant so there are locations all over the United States around 700 to be exact, this means a lot of the price setting and procedures are set country wide not from restaurant to restaurant. Even so each Olive Garden keeps track of their own sales and personally contributes to the overall company. At Olive Garden we proudly serve lunch and dinner with a casual Italian dining experience. The dinner entrees are priced anywhere from $11- $19 a meal but included unlimited soup or salad and then breadsticks. I have been working at the Olive Garden for about 7 months now so I felt that I knew most of what goes on on the outside of the restaurant but it is time to take a deeper look into the procedures put into this everyday restaurant.…

    Buca Di Beppo Review

    • 1172 Words
    • 5 Pages

    For me personally, I love Italian food because of how much Italian’s appreciate the dinner table. What I mean by “appreciating the dinner table” is how Italians take time to cherish the food but also interact with friends and family while you enjoy the authentic meals. Anyone who walks into Buca di Beppo can begin to feel the authenticity of the restaurant because they do a tremendous job escorting customers to their seat and sharing their history that allows you to see why this restaurant has been around for so many years. When you com to the restaurant when its not busy a waiter or a waitress usually escorts customers to their seat by going on a mini tour around the restaurant walking through the kitchen, around the bar and to their seat. I loved the fact that they walk you through the kitchen to show how they use fresh ingredients and how clean and organized their kitchen is. During this tour it really showed the distinct features of an Italian restaurant. Walking through the restaurant with hundreds of framed pictures across the walls of families and celebrities really made the place feel “homey” and “lively”. This certainly reassured me that my food was going to be fresh.…

    When looking at the menu, sometimes I have trouble deciding on what to choose. The reason why is their menu consists of mainly comfort food like what we grew up with when our parents made us dinner as kids. When I think of food from a restaurant I think of a quick cooked meal that tastes nothing like what I think it should. The food here is more like home cooked meals. The portions are larger than what many other restaurants provide. Sometimes the food is not what we expect like being cold, undercooked, overcooked or just not…

    Second, the friendly service at Olive Garden makes me feel welcomed. As I drive up, there is a Valet eagerly waiting to assist, so I don’t have to struggle with finding a parking spot or walking a far distance. The host or hostess, always make me feel special asking where I prefer to sit, which is good for my preference. The waitress always makes sure I have everything I need and without asking, I always receive a little extra VIP treatment. Servers are very generous when delivering my order and taking care of all guests. A great thing at Olive Garden is that the manager will walk around the tables and converse, which makes me sense that the managers do care about how I feel there and make sure I’m being treated magnificently.…

    First of all, the atmosphere is an important thing of one restaurant. Olive Garden has been known for a great Italian meal and family-friendly atmosphere. Olive Garden is an option in order to enjoy with family because the atmosphere is crowded and serene. It is decorated by Italian customs with panting pictures on the wall and fancy interior decoration. Moreover, Olive Garden has many tables to serve everyone such as for a couple, a family, or even for the only person. Dinner is a time for a family together so that the restaurant is more crowded than lunchtime. For example, I went to Olive Garden with my family, and we waited about one hour to have a large space for our dinner. Despite long waiting, I could understand; thus, we were set at a long and comfortable table, and we were appreciated. My family was…

    When I went to Big Bowl- an authentic Chinese and Thai restaurant- with my mom, one of the first things I noticed was that they had great service. Right when we walked in, a lady came up to us and seated us. Right after, they gave us menus and asked us what drinks we wanted. They waiter was a very nice and patient gentleman. We ordered quite fast, and our food came even faster! The cooks at Big Bowl were even kind enough to have my mom's source on her stir fry be more mild than spicy, just as my mom asked. I have been to tons of restaurants in my lifetime, many of them having very crabby waiters or very…

I ate the most of the appetizer, and I couldn’t necessarily agree with him about sauce as it made sweeter. He also split a dish between him and my older sister which although had flavor was not that good, I couldn’t give an opinion myself only because I was busy munching away at my dish.

    When visiting Olive Garden, customers of age will be able to partake in some wonderful cocktails like a green apple moscato cocktail or an Italian margarita. Non-alcoholic beverages that are just as tasty include a frozen cappuccino and a peach-mango smoothie. To start off a meal, there are lots of mouthwatering appetizers like five Italian cheese fonduta and classic…
