Olive Garden (Boise)

In the spirit of full disclosure, I'm not much of an Olive Garden fan.  In fact, with the exception of their fettuccine alfredo, I can't think of a single entrée I've ever truly enjoyed from any of their locations that I've visited.  It should be said here that I don't like fettuccine alfredo, so if there's only one place I DO like it from, they're probably not doing it right.  I don't dislike Olive Garden per se, they're just kind of...there.

However, there are a few saving graces.  I've always enjoyed the toasted ravioli appetizer quite a bit, and there's an amazing Black Tie Mousse Cake on their dessert menu.  In between the appetizer and dessert, well it's very hard to go wrong with soup and salad, so that's usually what I get.  As much as I bristle at the word "safe" when used to describe food, at Olive Garden those are my safe choices.  Of course, there are always exceptions...

Sorry, no picture of my local Olive Garden, as they're doing construction of some kind on the roof right now.  But hey, if you've seen one Olive Garden...
