They had a major "redo" of the menu last summer. It's not the old Olive Garden.

SteveA is right, Olive Garden has actually had a few "redos" over the years. When they first appeared I couldn't stand their red sauces, which tasted like tomato sauce straight from the can, and I'd protest vigorously whenever someone wanted to go there. Now I gladly wait the usual 30 to 45 minutes at the OG in Concord. I wouldn't go there for a special night out (probably "Abondante" in Meredith for that), but The Olive Garden is predictably good italian for a weekend before-the-movie meal.
