My wife, a friend and I had an enjoyable Sunday afternoon lunch at the Olive Garden. We enjoyed the sea food salad, sea food pasta and excellent Pacific salmon. Clearly we are sea food lovers. The food was tasty and well prepared and presented. We highly endorse this restaurant and plan to return again and again. The staff is pleasant and attentive but not in the way. The place is quite and the decor relaxing. The plan to offer el fresco dining for the rest of the summer.
We visited "All's Well" for the first time this evening and were very pleased. The buffet holds something to delight every taste. There were Chinese dishes, western salads, salad bar, sushi, lamb on skewers, steaks, pizzas, and much more. The climax of the meal was a large offering of in-house made sweet treats; some rich some light and watermelon too. The service was smooth and unintrusive but always helpful. The fixed price of Y49 per person includes all the Qingdao beer or coffee you want. We realized that the price per person cost less than having lunch at McDonalds back in the USA and is about 10,000 percent better. Also, the atmosphere is quite, the decor sophisticated. Tables are set with linen table cloths and napkins and western silverware. The patron can linger over a variety of Chinese language magazines or the International Harold Tribune. A great meal, pleasant environment at a great price. We certainly plan to visit often in the future.
