    I ordered pasta with Alfredo sauce and shrimp, artichoke dip. Breadsticks and salad come with the pasta. Environment was nice. Food was good as well.

    Herb grilled salmon & parmeson garlic broccoli. Had my choice of chicken & gnocchi soup. Very good option. The salmon herb butter topped was crisp n soup, both very delicious! Very satisfying. Great customer service. Will go back & recommend it 👌

    Love this place! Our waiter was very nice, and he made sure we had everything we needed. Great experience. They let me taste 3 different wines so I could choose the one I like. They sealed my leftover wine so I could take it home safely. Everything was delicious, and the salad was amazing like always. Can't wait to go back.

    I enjoyed my build your own pasta entree (and it was a massive amount) and the salad was good! None of the bread sticks were warm when they came to the table which was disappointing. But waitstaff was attentive and kind. It's remodeled since I last went as a kid in the early 2000s, it feels significantly more cramped and dark. Rigatoni was over cooked and the sausage was a tad burned on the casing but it was all very good still.

    Server was new and did a great job...I have been a server for many years so she is well on her way to"getting"it. So our food did take awhile. We didn't care to much as we were enjoying each other's company. But when we did get it.. My asiago tortellini was very "white". Not even sure parsley leaves to decorate the top.. Not a big deal. Just ugly plate.. but my husband. Got salmon. Looked burned. The 🥦 broccoli he got with it and was supposed to be cooked in garlic butter . Wasn't really cooked at all.. Pretty raw. Like on a salad raw.. so it wasn't as expected which was disappointing.. We would have waited longer to get better salmon and cooked broccoli... Next time hopefully it will be better.

    It was my husband's birthday and our server Chris brought him a piece of cake of his choosing, and one lit candle in it. His service was above and beyond our expectations. He even listened to my little story, and didn't mind. We definitely like Olive Garden, and will always go back. Their Chicken Gnocchi soup was superb.

    It's good, not the best, not the worst, but good. I'd rate it higher if the prices were lower. When your charging $19.99 for a bowl of fettuccine alfredo, it better be some of the best fettuccine out there. Unfortunately, this one gets 3 stars. The service was great, and atmosphere was nice, but I came here to eat.

    It was absolutely amazing! I just went in with my parents and our server is a trainee, she was so sweet and her trainer was incredibly talented. Food was amazing, service was quick and awesome and the prices are unbeatable. We got full after half our dishes. I wish I had known the girls name I would include it. Best olive garden I've been to! Edit: the Trainer's name is Roberto, give this guy a raise 👏

    On 7-27-2023 my husband and I stopped in for an early dinner after seeing a movie. The resturant wasn't crowded because we were there at an off time. Our experience was good from beginning to end. An employee opened and held the door for us while we entered the building. A hostess immediately took us to a table and removed one of the chairs to accomodate my wheelchair. Our server was a wonderful young woman, Tiana Q (according to the receipt). We enjoyed our interaction with her. She was friendly yet professional. The food was delivered to our table in a timely manner, hot, and delicious. We had plenty of food to box up and take home because they serve large portions. We also purchased a second meal for each of us from a special $8. menu. An employee held the door for us as we left. It was a very pleasant dining experience.

    Our waiter Brian was on point. Gracious, helpful and timely. We absolutely loved him!

    Our waitress, Jennifer, was AMAZING! By far the best dining experience I’ve had in a while because of her service & positive attitude. (Food was yummy per usual) Didn’t have to ask for drink refills, and she basically read our minds when we needed something. Attentive, kind, and quick. Ask for Jennifer!!

    If me and my daughter could give more stars we definitely would. Madison our server and the rest of the night crew/team really left a long lasting impression with my 14yr. This was her first olive garden experience and definitely won't be her last. Great food , astonishing service and she said the environment with the type of music and lighting just made her in a happy mood. Worth every penny!!

    It's been years since I've been to Olive Garden & I'm glad to say that my experience was just as good as my first time. Hunter was an awesome waiter & added to my experience. If you get Hunter as your waiter you're in for a great experience as well.

    We come often and are always give wonderful and speedy service but I wanted to name drop Claudia because she was absolutely spot on! Quick with refills, running her food, bussing the table, and all around an expedient and courteous waitress! Thank you for the delicious food and a wonderful afternoon!

    It was about 45 minutes before closing, they were so accommodating, there were 8 of us celebrating a graduation. Our water was great and the kitchen acted like it was no problem making everything fresh and delicious! Than you

  • 5/5 Juan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Met up with a friend that I haven’t seen in a long while at this place and it was a cool place to hang out! While the food was not much to write home about, the staff is what is well worth writing about as the server and the reception staff were very attentive to what we needed and to sit us down at a table quickly and all while being so friendly! I can’t wait to come back someday!

    Our server was so sweet!! The food was delicious, and the wait time was not bad. Definitely see myself coming here again. The chocolate brownie lasagna is heavenly!!

    I really like the vibe of this place (it's cozy and warm) and lunch menus. I had a pleasure experience with server named Mason (if I remember his name correctly). He was one of the best kind servers I've met. One thing I hope is that they give customers more options for the lunch menu.

    Brittany the service manager gets all 5 stars for the way she handled our complaint on poor service from our server Briley. It didn't feel like our server cared to be there and was leaving not so subtle cues for us to hurry and leave. We brought our concerns to Brittany and me and my husband felt very heard as we politely explained the service or lack there of. Brittany was amazing active listening and reassuring that she would take care of the service issues. Because of Brittany we left the restaurant on a good note!

    My experience was great mainly because of the waitress. My previous visit in the past was also great. However, the young waitress I tipped $10, charged me $20 more dollars without my notice until I saw that in my bank account statement. I gave more tip last night, hoping that history doesn't repeat itself with this different waitress at a different location. The food was delicious, including the appetizers, deserts and drinks. The waitress was niceties, smiling all the time, respectful and very patient. The prices are high as expected with the high cost of living these days. I hope this helps.

    My wife and I had dinner at Olive Garden Friday evening and as usual, the food and atmosphere was great. What made the experience even better was our waiter, David. He was awesome. I don’t recall the last time we had service that great. He not only took care of us, but we observed him taking care of several tables/families in the same manner. Great personality and great attitude.

    We had the lasagna frittata appetizer which was delicious. For main meal; I had the lunch portion of chicken Alfredo, great as always. Pasta e fagioli and salad was her choice and always a favorite. Our server wade was exactly what you'd want from a waiter :) This location is nice as well worth the mall nearby to walk off the meal!

  • 5/5 Justin Van G. 2 years ago on Google
    My waiter tonight, David, was so great! I know good experiences hardly ever get reviews, but David was too good to not get a 5 star review! He was so kind & welcoming. He was attentive, energetic, and honestly made a already good meal, great! My glass was never empty & our food was hot & delicious. I love Olive Garden, but servers like David really make the difference! David, thank you for your exceptional customer service!

    We went in today to have lunch, we ordered Parmesan Chicken and salad. from the lunch menu. Regarding flavor, the Chicken Parmesan was delicious, our only disappointment with the order is that the portion of chicken was extremely small, it appeared that we had ordered from the kids menu instead of the Lunch menu. We have eaten this dish many times before and the portion of chicken has been plentiful and of good size. I don't know what the cook was thinking or what he was on, but our portions were obviously too small. We understand it is the lunch portion but come on! Serve reasonable portions!! Our waiter did an excellent job tending to our table.
