    The soup was pretty good. The unlimited pasta was horrible. Was never asked if we wanted more. Never was asked if we wanted more breadsticks, or salad. Not worth leaving a tip.

    This was an all around turn around from the last time I was here. Some of the best service I have had in a long time. All the food was hot and fresh. Our server was on top of everything they had staff working everywhere which I have not seen in many places anywhere lately. The manager Alexander was walking around making sure everyone's table were taken care of. Super job guys keep it up!

    I ate lunch here with my family and my half-brother's girlfriend on Mother's Day this year. I ordered a Cappuccino, which not only looked authentic for an Italian coffee drink, but even came with a small biscotto. I had a salad as well as their signature breadsticks. My main course was Eggplant Parmigiana, a vegetarian meal. All of it was delectable indeed for a vegetarian and Mediterranean lunch.

    We celebrated our anniversary here because we ate at Olive Garden in Florida right after we got married. Brad was our server and was very attentive and pleasant. I'm thinking we should celebrate our anniversary each year at Olive Garden! Thank you!!

    We went while it was very busy. The staff was still nice and accommodating. The soup I had was amazing as well as the pasta, but the strawberry cream cake tasted horrible and the texture was soggy.

    We had a great waiter, which makes the experience so much better. Olive Garden's food is always great, but our waiter made sure we had full drinks, full bread basket, and checked on us often.

    Just had a great experience here! As usual the food came out very quickly and was delicious. My parents forgot that they had a gift card and paid with credits on accident. Sam, the manager, was able to reverse that charge and let them use their gift card without any problems. I really appreciate her for doing that. I thought it was was very nice of her. Chloe was our server and she was fantastic, friendly and professional. She seemed to be able to predict what we wanted before we asked for it and was totally in tune with our table's needs. Anybody who gets Chloe as their server is guaranteed a good experience so if you do, make sure you tip her well!

    We went to Olive Garden as an office event to celebrate a birthday. They gave us the private room in the back. Everything was perfect! The manager popped his head in to check on us and they gave a free dessert for the birthday girl. All if the food was very good and came out as it was ordered.

    Always busy and packed. Never had Olive Garden before and I heard lots of good stuff with it. Husband decided to bring me here for lunch. Its packed with people but the wait wasn't that long. Service was extremely friendly and well informed. Food was served hot and yummy. We'll be back for sure. 🥰

    Eaten here many times . Food is tasty. Worked in many restaurants so I know how most is made or not made 😂. Customer service is always top notch here. Usually a wait at lunch or dinner. Hostess is always friendly and good to look at too Server is always on top of refills and knowledgeable of food. Only had 1 bad experience that was 3 out of 4 entrees had under cooked shrimp . Still Grey and cold . Management quickly rectified the situation. Handled it with politeness and professionalism.

    Dec 28, 2023, Came in for lunch,at 11:30, and they were already full and on a wait. Thank goodness for " join the wait list." 2 of us had soup, salad with bread sticks and one Salmon. Salmon was cooked perfectly. We also had mozzarella appetizer. Management was helping servers keep on to of diners drink refills etc.

    We love to go to Olive Garden on our girl's day outings. We have gone multiple times to this location and have never been disappointed. This is always a super clean and inviting environment. We have always had great service and great food.

    We had a 29th Birthday celebration at Olive Garden. Our server handled our party of 12, all by herself. She was fabulous, kept our drinks full, got all our meals to us promptly, no issues. The food was delicious. All in all it was a great night. I highly recommend Olive Garden.

    I came here with a large group of people for an early dinner, and there was plenty of room to seat us. The waitress was very friendly and accommodative the whole night as well. The food was very good as always, and there really were no complaints on the night. I would definitely come back again!

    Came here for dinner tonight with my daughter and husband. They were slam packed and still are, they said it would be almost an hour wait but it was actually only maybe 15 minutes. They are getting people in and out pretty smoothly. The food was excellent. My hubby and I both got the sirloin and my daughter got the spaghetti. All of it was great. Our waitress was Morgan, she was very nice and patient, she refilled our drinks when they were empty and dealt with my daughters indecisiveness about EVERYTHING very well lol. I would definitely recommend this place, anytime!!

    Great service and friendly staff. Nice options for launch 11am-3pm, $9 per person. They have refilled soups‼️ But be careful to order cappuccino, it is cinnamon on the top! Surprise was when we saw the bill and find table games) $3! Our son just open it to see what is it) They also add 2waters that we didn’t see on the table.

    Everyone was great and super friendly. The food was delicious and the restaurant was clean. The only complaints I had was that out of our party of 5, one person's meal did not come out until about 10-15 minutes after everyone else's and the appetizer we ordered didn't come out until after everyone received their entrees. The staff was nice enough to comp us for the appetizer though which was really nice of them. The food was delicious, great flavoring, but I ordered gnocchi soup and out of 2 bowls only got 2 little balls of gnocchi. It was seasoned great and I ate the majority of it because it was delicious, but if you have an item called gnocchi soup, I expect gnocchi to actually be in the soup and not a bunch of chicken like I was served. It was a nice place with nice people but it wasn't quiet a 5 star visit for me.

    Olive Garden is always a great experience! I love their Alfredo and the unlimited soup and bread sticks is always amazing for the table to share. My picky 6 year old was able to enjoy a strawberry smoothie and I got unlimited refills on their Raspberry Lemonade!

  • 4/5 Belle R. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good, prices were nice.! (Pre Covid prices) service was well, a bit slow at first but he got it together quickly.! Said no wait time online and there was a small wait time. Expect that… also we were seated near the bar and the bartender had a lot to say, very interesting hearing her input on fellow employees.!
