I have been under the weather and wanted soup. To Olive Garden we go! I was excited to see that they have the little tablets on the tables now so you can order drinks, appetizers, and pay on them too. Had some weird mishaps from the start.\nI ordered a peach tea and when our server brought it out, my friend noticed the glass was dirty. So our server said he'd bring me another one. When he came back, he accidentally brought a pink lemonade or something. So he went back again to get the correct drink. I was disappointed that there were no frozen peaches in the bottom... did they stop doing that? That was the best part, eating the peaches at the end. :( When I took a sip, it was almost warm and quite syrupy. Needed more ice. My friend gave me most of the ice cubes from his water. The server did come by and ask if we wanted more ice. I said yes, but he forgot to bring it... Oh well.\nI ordered the soup (minestrone) & breadsticks, no salad. We also ordered the risotto bites as an appetizer, which the server entered into the tablet for us (I would have rather done it myself). The girl at the table next to us was texting the whole time, with the sound on so we had to hear the stupid chime... The people who eat here are always so oblivious to others around them.\nMy soup and my friend's salad came out before the risotto bites. Considering the soup was my entree, I thought he would bring it out with my friend's entree. Guess not. The breadsticks were fresh and garlicky so that was good. And the risotto bites were yummy as usual. Breaded cheesy rice balls served with marinara. Genius! When I was getting low on my soup, our server asked if I'd like another bowl. I said yes, and he brought it out right away. Wasn't even done with the first one... Over eager server! Better than a neglectful one but still...\nMy first bite of the second bowl of soup was surprisingly salty! I was taken aback! It had to have been from a different pot than the first... it wasn't bad enough to send back, but it was noticeably salty. :( When a guy came by with a pitcher of peach tea, I still didn't see any peaches in there... We had a gift card and were able to pay with that on the kiosk. It even prints out your receipt, which is nice. We were going to do the survey, but it timed out without warning. Pfft! But our server brought us 6 Andes mints so that was appreciated. Rocky visit, but I know we'll be back.
