For my husband's birthday we decided to go to OG for a nice dinner. It is a large party (20), and we are driving over an hour to geth there, so I called ahead. I know that they do not take reservations, but last year we did the same thing and the manager was so nice. He made sure when we got there we would not be waiting for tables (they needed to at least be close to one another because we had such a large party). It was such a great experience that we thought we would do it again. When I called today, Sabrina would not even let me finish my request. She cut me off saying, "Uh, we are not just going to save tables for you. You're just gonna have to just come in early if you all want to sit together." I was shocked that someone this rude was dealing with customers. When I hung up the phone I thanked Sabrina for being so helpful and she said, "uh huh," and hung up! Since we have the plans already we are going to go---I will absolutely rate the evening later tonight.

Since my husband is away, I've been having lunch alone in the Chesapeake area. Today, I was craving breadsticks so I went to the OG near the Greenbrier Mall. The wait time for a table for one was 15 minutes. I sat in a nice booth that was well lit so I even read my paper. The service was fast and the prices are very reasonable for Italian. I had the Ravioli di Portabello as usual and it was under $8. I asked for lemon with my sweet tea and I was glad to find a huge lemon wedge in my tea. I like it sour since I'm very pregnant lol. The Zuppa Toscana was a nice alternative to the Minestrone. And I even had room for dessert! The fruit was extremely fresh in my Berries and Zabaione. It didn't look as big as the picture in the menu but I couldn't finish it anyway lol. Overall, it was a relaxing lunch for one and I wasn't rushed at all. I like that! The restrooms are also clean! Another plus!
