Sometimes you love a restaurant not so much for it's food, but for the time spent with your Father. Even at 89, my Father loved going to Olive Garden for their Soup and Salad lunch. He always ordered Minestrone. Salad with no croutons and extra tomatoes. I have yet to go there since his passing last year, but soon. His birthday is Feb 28, so I'll be going to another favorite- Steak n Shake. He lived for those black & white milkshakes! Sigh

Well, the bikes are real, but it's fake advertising.
So my wife and I are traveling and decided to have dinner in an Olive Garden restaurant. Below is a wallhanging picture that was next to our table. I think it’s supposed to make the viewer think it’s an old world (Italian) setting. I think it’s staged. Those bikes look as if they’ve never been ridden...not the bikes that old Italian guys would be tooling around the town on. I've been there and the old guys tool around on old bikes that are well-use, dirty, rusty, etc.
