“5 Stars - Exceptional Service!

I had the pleasure of dining at Olive Garden recently, and I must say, Sarah, our server, made the experience truly exceptional. From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that instantly made us feel welcome.

Sarah’s attention to detail was impeccable. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, ensuring our drinks were always topped off and that our meals were served hot and exactly as ordered. What really stood out was her knowledge of the menu—she made fantastic recommendations, even suggesting a delightful wine pairing for our dishes.

Despite the restaurant being busy, Sarah handled everything with grace and efficiency. She never seemed rushed and always made time to check in with us, making sure we were enjoying our meal. It’s rare to find a server who combines friendliness, professionalism, and expertise so perfectly, but Sarah does it all.

Olive Garden is lucky to have someone like Sarah on their team. She turned a simple dinner into a memorable experience, and we’ll definitely be returning, hoping to have her as our server again. Highly recommend dining here and asking for Sarah—you won’t be disappointed!“

“It's an interesting looking place. They have repurposed old furniture and decorations, so nothing matches. I can appreciate the fact that they kept all of this stuff out of the landfill and it doesn't take away from the dining experience unless you really need fancy to be happy. The service was reasonably quick and friendly. They have tables for about 36, a long bar with about 16 stools and some outdoor seating. The food was good and the portions were generous. The prices were a little in the high side, but that seems to be everywhere these days. The garlic knots were noteworhty.“

“Spaghetti and meatball Pizza was so great, and they delivered It to Beach and Brew for trivia night!“

“We are staying across the road and decided to order pizza and wings rather than going out. I ordered the “18 Supreme pizza and 24 wings so we could have leftovers the next day. The pizza had great crust, sauce, adequate toppings and great taste! Wings were good quality and had great buffalo sauce! A HUGE hit! Leftovers were great day 2 also! :) We will definitely order again.“

“Amazing place to eat. Great people“

“Best pizza I’ve had in a long time!“
