Going out to eat is fun and part of any day trip or excursion to a new place, even when one is trying to be diet-conscious.
After biting the bullet and agreeing to drive to Boston to transport a friend to a medical appointment, ( I hate driving in the city), a visit to an Olive Garden saved the day.
The salad at this chain restaurant is plentiful and usually yummy. They serve warm bread rolls, too, and have delicious orange chicken as well as portabello stuffed ravioli in a tomato cream sauce and on and on. Almost all of the dishes tried throughout the decades have been good.
But best of all, the decor of Olive Garden restaurants appeals to anyone interested in interior decorating.
The wall displays of colorful, different patterned plates are very pretty to see. (They make me want to add more plates to my own kitchen wall.) Almost every single plate is different, which adds to their appeal.
Raspberry peach iced tea tasted delicious on a hot summer's day and air-conditioning in the restaurant made us want to stay overnight! ha!
How would you like this little lion head to
be installed on your patio?
The specials of the day were written on this
blackboard in the restaurant lobby.
Of course, no visit to a restaurant is complete without a parting shot of the "necessary" room.
If details of the decor are good in this room, it bodes well for the rest of the restaurant experience as well! This one checked-out quite well.
Parting shot:
Hope you enjoy this mini-tour of an Olive Garden restaurant.
