    I haven't been to an Olive Garden in awhile so I think I was able to really enjoy their freshly tossed salad and fresh breadsticks! Everything was exceptional! This is a great location. Excellent customer service. Everyone is pleasant and courteous.

    This was my first experience with the chain restaurant. The location is fairly convenient, the staff was largely pleasant, and the interior was nice, if cramped. However, the food was sub-par. The breadsticks were chewy and over-salted, the soup was bland, the parmesan zucchini was undercooked and saturated with oil, and the two different chicken dishes (both Margherita and Piccata) that we tried were largely bland (and barely tasted different from one another). I don't see myself coming here again in the future.

    I continue to enjoy Olive Garden's simple salad with vinaigrette dressing even after decades. Other favorites include Eggplant Parmesan with reduced cheese and Lasagna Fritta w/meatless sauce, Five cheese Ziti, soup, and more

    Excellent service and yummy food. The place is kinda of outdated but well maintained. The seating area was clean and tidy. The hostess was friendly and professional. The food was served fresh, yummy and in just perfect timing.

    Loved the service and food. We ordered Cheese Ravioli, Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta and Mozzarella Sticks. We also ordered the Watermelon Sangria, Green Apple Sangria and Peach Belluni and loved all of the drinks. Will be visiting again.

    We've been to a few Olive Gardens and this location was overall pretty good. Service was the slowest I've ever experienced but the waiter was at least nice and apologetic about it so not a big deal for us. We had the Fagioli soup which is normally our favorite but we both found it was too watery and didn't taste the same as we typically get. We had a second soup this time one of us took the Toscana and the other the chicken one. Both of these we thought were better. The breadsticks were probably some of the best we've had when comparing other locations. For the mains we had the chicken and shrimp carbonara and the tour of Italy with meat sauce for the linguini instead of Alfredo sauce. Both of the main dishes were excellent and had large portions.

    Went in 7/1/23 in the evening there was a wonderful waiter said she was new. She was an absolute sweetheart and had the best attitude as she dealt with a busy restaurant. Definitely an asset to your team.

    We had a late lunch on Memorial day and it was quite slow which was was nice. The lively Italian music was fun and our server was very attentive. The bread, salad and soup was good. A bit salty but to be expected for restaurant food. Overall a great experience!

    Excellent location! My server was Alicia and she should be a prime example on how all servers should be. Great & fast service, kind, she genuinely cared about our experience and didn’t just give robot responses like other restaurants. Food was delicious. Will definitely be coming again and recommending this place to others. Hidden gem!

    Normally really great service and hyped this up to our party. We visited the Olive Garden in Capitola California. There was a complete Lack of understanding about allergens. Clearly asked several times about a gluten free meal, but what what was delivered contained gluten. If we hadn’t of questioned it then one of our party would have been extremely unwell. Slow service also.

    Went in for my birthday and had a large group of 15. We were told that 2 servers were going to help us. We didn't know who the 2nd one was and had many "runners" of both food and drinks. I've been in the restaurant business my whole life, in all departments. Please re-teach your servers not to auction off items. Write down who gets which salad or soup and who gets what margarita. I know this can be done on a POS computer! It's so unprofessional when the server is yelling "who gets the salads"!!!! MY husband and son-in-law went to the bar to get drinks and was told from the bartender that she had to get paid at the bar, that she couldn't add the drinks to the bill... what??? why??? And when singing Happy Birthday (which there was 2 of us) stand behind the birthday person or persons... very poorly managed... very unprofessional. The bill was $430 with an $80 tip!!!

    Food was really good. Service was great. Only issue is they ran out of Amaretto - odd since they make a lot of "signature cocktails" with it.

    I am always hesitant to eat at a chain, but Olive Garden was a pleasant surprise. We did a to go order of Lasagna and Shrimp Alfredo. Our sides of soup and salad were also delicious. The online ordering process was easy and straightforward. Will be back.

    I ordered from online, didn't have to wait very long, the food actually came out car side 10 minutes earlier than expected. The gentleman that brought the food out was very professional. The food was great.
