Nonexistent service. After our order was taken and drinks delivered, it was hard to get our server’s attention. I understand it was busy but she barely came to check on our table. We were missing utensils and serving plates for the longest time because we couldn’t flag her down. We haven’t had Olive Garden in so long but the flavors were the same as I can remember. Unfortunately, we ended up with a bad stomachache after our meal. We didn’t know which dish caused it but after eating the leftovers the next day, we suspected the shrimp and scallops fettuccine. Not a so great experience overall.

Very nice, clean but typical Olive Garden. There was no wait, but the restaurant was busy on a Mother’s Day afternoon. The waiter was very nice and friendly. Our order was correct, but the food came out so quickly we received the bread sticks, salad and dinner all at the same time. Overall the food seemed fresher that I past years. The tomato sauce was a little salty and acidic, but was good. The lasagna was a large portion and they brought out more salad when asked. It was a little price, about $108 with tip for 3 meals, 1 kids meal and a couple drinks, but overall, I would recommend this restaurant.

You really just can’t go wrong with this OG, staff are happy, attentive, welcoming, and helpful. They’ve got lots of seating, outside, inside, and at the bar -can accommodate 1 to large groups.
They start with that hot, fresh, buttery bread, then soup & salad, nicely spaced out until the entree. Right now they have there endless pasta bowls, always good if you have teens!
We went with Eggplant Parm and 5 Cheese Zitti with meatballs. Both were excellent, the Eggplant was perfect breaded and crisp, fresh marinara and cheese, and then the huge side of spaghetti!
Hubby had the Zitti, said the sauce was good and the meatballs were good texture and flavor.
We sat in the bar and Victor was our server, he was on it! All tables were continuously checked on, served and refilled. He was very nice too.

I went to meet a friend for lunch, haven’t been to Olive Garden in years and must say it was busy, place was clean and the staff was very welcoming and professional. Now you know when you order food at Olive Garden you can’t make changes to your order since it comes prepared and they just pop it in some heat. That said I had the Eggplant Parmesan it came with Spaghetti, it was great. The lunch portions are smaller and that was great so no waste here. The eggplant Parmesan was well seasoned not too much cheese, perfect. All in all a good lunch place to meet your friends.

So me and my spouse of two years love coming to this restaurant, and we came today especially for our two year anniversary. Our server, Mera, was amazing during our visit and went above and beyond with her hospitality, suggestions, and accommodations. The food was especially fresh tonight and we had a great time eating together. Thank you so much!

Our group of 9 experienced outstanding service from start to finish. Even thought OG doesn’t take reservations, they encouraged me to call a few hours ahead so they could prepare for us. Sure enough, they had a lovely almost private table set and ready when we arrived. Everyone – from the greeters to our server were very prompt and attentive. The manager even checked in to make sure we were well take care of.

Olive Garden Review
I had a fantastic dining experience at the Olive Garden last night! Our server, Jay, was absolutely amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed.
We started off with a delicious Italian margarita and a strawberry lemonade. The drinks were perfectly refreshing and set the tone for a wonderful meal. For our main course, we both ordered the shrimp and scallop fettuccine, and it was absolutely incredible. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauce was flavorful, and the seafood was fresh and tender.
Overall, I highly recommend the Olive Garden for a delicious and enjoyable dining experience. Be sure to ask for Jay as your server!

Came in after 8pm and asked for any seating for 2 people. I was told they were cleaning up a table and it shouldn’t be long. After 10 minutes I went to follow up and she said we’re still waiting for a clean table and/or another party to finish. I ended up leaving because we didn’t know how long the wait would be! Why not just tell us it’ll be 15-20 minutes when we check in?! Restaurant is beautiful though. 3 hostesses standing around, not so much. Why don’t they go and clean the empty table?!
