Olive Garden, Palm Desert

This restaurant and the food is wonderful! My mom's funeral was in Feb 2010 and looking for a venue to have our very large family get together after the service was going to be very costly. I asked the manager if we came in at 4 or 430 for an earlier dinner, if they could accomodate 15-20 people. They said no problem. Well that 20 turned into 32 people (my error, didn't count the kids) and even though we had to wait for people to leave out of the back room and sat a little later than 5, it turned out wonderful. For a very sad occasion, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Our family had an italian restaurant in the family for 45 years (Vinces Seafood, San Mateo), so we knew we wanted to eat Italian. This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the desert, in my opinion. The staff and the management was terrific. Keep up the good work OLIVE GARDEN !!!!
