Answer 3

i have been to both olive backyard and j. carinos, yet i love olive backyard more desirable proper. i have been to 2 johnny carinos, one in augusta georgia, and one in atlanta georgia. They were both on an analogous aspect, the nutrients replaced into fantastically sturdy, yet no longer something out-of-this-international. I wasn't very inspired with the staff at both one, both j. carino's gave the impression to be run with the help of youngsters, who were fantastic and all, yet, they were waaaay too rowdy. (i'm 19 btw, i'm no longer complaining reason i'm previous or something) i imagine that the cleanliness aspect, and restoration at olive backyard is more desirable proper, i have been to three diverse ones, and they are all fantastically reliable. the ambience is a few distance more desirable proper for a commencement dinner, in my opinion. both way you'd be sturdy. congrats!
