A recommendation from the gluten free daughter!!!

Alexis would like to recommend the Mixed Grill Dinner on the gluten free menu at The Olive Garden Restaurant! 
We went to The Olive Garden at the Southcenter Mall the other day. Alexis was excited to learn that they had a gluten free menu!  She decided on this delicious dinner of Steak and Chicken kabobs with grilled veggies (peppers, onions, squash, and zucchini) that was marinated in olive oil and some herbs.  They served it with steamed broccoli (her fav) and their infamous green salad.  It was a HUGE dinner! She brought half home and ate it for lunch the next day!

I want to say that the service was AWESOME!  When the food was brought out, they brought her the non-gluten free version of this dish (which is served with potatoes and a glaze on the meat).  When I brought it to the waiters attention, he immediately took the plate away and brought her a new one that was gluten free.  Then the manager came over and apologized (we weren't mad) and gave us her dinner FREE!!!!   Which was really nice because her dinner was $17.95!  Of course I didn't realize that until the check came because conveniently the company doesn't put their prices on the gluten free menu. 

Overall, it was a delicious dinner (I tried a few bites) that was totally gluten free and enjoyable.  We both would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is gluten free.
