I’m a fan of Olive Garden and this was a great dinner choice. Our server was great – she was very amicable and funny. Got the soup and salad deal, and tried all four soups – they were really good, but my fav remains the Pasta e Fagioli! Tried the Chicken Alfredo too and it was good – tasty and the chicken was juicy. Ate so much that didn’t have room for dessert. Great dinner over all and kuddos to our server

Went with our service dogs, Whiskey (white and black) and Remington (white and tan), Waited was so amazing, seated us in a good area for the dogs and us, were mindful of others, food was awesome, just overall entirely happy! Best waiter we’ve ever had there as well. Would definitely go again.

A group of us went to the Olive Garden in Inverness, FL for lunch, and it ended up being such a great experience. The atmosphere is pretty low-key—nothing flashy—but it’s clean, comfortable, and perfect for just hanging out and enjoying a meal with friends.
What really stood out was the service. Our server handled our group like a pro—super friendly, always checking in without being pushy, and made sure everyone got exactly what they ordered. It’s not easy keeping a group happy, but they really nailed it.
Food-wise, everything was spot on. I had the spaghetti and it hit all the right notes—classic, flavorful, and really satisfying. Someone else in our group had the lasagna and I got a bite (or two)—cheesy, saucy, and honestly one of the better ones I’ve had in a while. Plus, those breadsticks kept coming and were as addictive as ever.
The whole lunch felt relaxed and easy, like we could actually enjoy our time without feeling rushed or ignored. It’s not a fancy spot, but that’s part of the charm—just good food, great service, and a chill vibe. Definitely a solid choice for a group lunch. We all left happy and full.

Celebrated my Great Aunts 100th Birthday there. Took up the entire back room. The food was great and the servers were as friendly as could be. My only complaint would be that my drink was too strong but then others might like that, lol. Considering how many people they had to serve I think they did a wonderful job

I had an amazing experience thanks to our bartender Ryann, who was truly outstanding. Not only was she incredibly attentive—always noticing what we needed before we even asked—but she was also wonderfully personable, making me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I sat down. Despite juggling multiple guests at once, she handled everything effortlessly, with perfect timing and a smile. Her professionalism and warmth elevated our entire evening. Highly recommend!

My parents visited the Inverness location around 4:00 PM on Friday. The restaurant was not busy. They were seated promptly but then left unattended for an unacceptable amount of time without so much as a greeting or acknowledgment.
What makes this even more disturbing is that another couple was seated right next to them about five minutes later and was immediately greeted and served while my parents continued to be ignored. There was no reasonable explanation for the difference in treatment.
This felt discriminatory and deeply disrespectful. No customer should ever feel overlooked or treated differently, especially when the restaurant is not busy. This experience was completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed by management immediately. I will also be contacting corporate.

Great place to eat, very good selection with lots of variety! Mostly every visit I’ve had here has been superb, no issues whatsoever and were good experiences. The only slightly weird/strange thing I’ve had happen (but will NOT let this one encounter dictate the other lovely visits we’ve had here) was during a recent visit, my party of 3 had two waitresses managing our table: Hanna and Theresa.
We ordered single-course meals, no appetizers, entrees, etc.. Our bill was $56, well worth it because the food was amazing and it was a treat for us since we don’t eat out much. Afterward, Hanna was the one who came to collect the payment, queueing up the tablet attached to the table. Once she processed my card, she asked if the tip should be taken from the card or given in cash… she did NOT ask if I even wanted to tip, but I told her cash anyway- played it off as an ‘in the moment’ thing and didn’t fault her.
Since we technically had two waitresses, I asked her how the tips were distributed amongst the waitresses. She told me they go to the waitress assigned to that specific table/order, not split evenly amongst the waiting staff. Taking her word for it, I asked if she’d make a note to have it split between her and Theresa, she said no problem. I placed the cash on the table between myself and my family and she promptly reached to pick it up, and then proceeded to count it in front of us. While I’ve never had someone count their tip money in front of me, this wasn’t really a problem, just kinda made things awkward? She seemed satisfied with the amount and did say thank you, and that was the end of it.

The waitress was great and super sweet. The place was clean and service was quick, but the food, oh goodness absolutely awful. The Alfredo sauce tasted off, just cream no cheese taste, the soup was cold, just plain awful. They won’t see me again

Haven’t been here for a while, but decided to give it a go. Our server Emily provided the best service I’ve had lately. She was attentive, friendly and we wanted for nothing. The food was pretty good, and everything was clean. Thanks for a great experience, it was nice from this side of the window
