Complaint
We ate at the Olive Garden in Southaven, MS, last Wednesday, March 11, 2009, around noon. All three of us had the salad but ate different meals and desserts. All three of us became ill Thursday night with vomiting and diarrhea. We are some better but still feeling weak and not completely over this today Monday, March 16, 2009. We attributed this to the food eaten at the Olive Garden because it was the only place we ate other than here in our retirement community. No one else in the community has had any signs of food poisoning. We were the only ones with the problems. We have always enjoyed eating at Olive Garden restaurants. We are extremely disappointed with this last experience.
