I ordered the make-your-own-pasta bowl with fettuccine and marinara sauce. The breadsticks were amazing and the pasta was pretty good. Our waitress was really nice and we got our soups in about 3 minutes. Even though they didn’t have fettuccine on their make-your-own-pasta bowl, she made sure I got it free of charge. The main course came about 5 minutes later. Overall it was a nice experience.

I’m not sure what happened this time, but obviously we were greeted with the group B staff. We ordered two simple things for take out. The chicken Alfredo with soup and one kids Alfredo with broccoli. The last time we got these items everything was perfect. This time the kids Alfredo had no sauce just butter. The broccoli had no garlic or butter. The breadsticks were hard and stale. The woman who brought it out to us was quick and rude. I know it sounds like I am being a “Karen”, but for $40 I would have expected the bare minimum. Disappointing.

Makayla was awesome my fiance and I don’t eat out often and we’ve only been in the area since March but each time we eat out we find that a lot of places lack in certain areas. BUT we stopped at Olive Garden on a Saturday and we were left very full and happy. We were seated fast and received very attentive and friendly service. Not once did Makayla make us feel forgotten or unimportant. She was so fast and even when we had to wait for drinks she still made a point to acknowledge us and make us feel seen. Overall 10/10, Makayla if you see this thank you for such a refreshing restaurant experience, we’ll definitely be back (:

I had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant on June 26, 2025, around 9:30 PM. A friend arrived earlier with a group of 8 people and informed the staff that we would be arriving later with 6 more people, including 4 small children. They said they would hold a table next to theirs so we could all sit together for our gathering. However, when we arrived, they told us there was no space, even though the table next to them, which was supposed to be for us, was empty.
I asked the server about it, and she said the table was given on a first-come, first-served basis, and she offered it to two men who had arrived a bit earlier, while telling us to sit on the couch and wait for another table far from our friends. We did not accept this and decided to leave.
Later, we found out that the server went to our friends’ table and told them that we didn’t want the table and that she would give it to the other customers, which was not true, as we had asked to sit at that table that was supposedly being held for us.
This was extremely uncomfortable and ruined what was supposed to be a family moment with friends. A restaurant should provide a welcoming environment, not treat customers this way. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return and do not recommend this place.
