I almost gave four stars. But when I go out, I go out rarely I also go out for experience. I thought presentation was poor, portion seemed extra small, salad dressing seemed sparse and bread sticks dry. Food was flavorful, my cocktail 1 rum and coke was mixed well. The waitress young African woman was very pleasant professional and attentive. I have never been to this particular location before. Only Omaha's.

My husband and I came here for Veterans day lunch. He thought it would be impossible to get into however they were prepared. There was a 3 minute wait to be seated during this busy time as they have 1 hostess but multiple waitstaff and the managers were out checking everything. They ran like a well oiled machine. Drinks and breads ticks were brought out immediately and food was super quick to the table too. They filled the dinning areas pretty quickly and kept good pace to turn tables over in their favor(and everyone else trying to grab a bite) They noise level was a soft murmer at each table. It was the quietest and coziest meal I've had in a busy place. I will be thrilled to visit this restaurant and location again!

Note: Husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with the meats accessible, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli.
Both of us had the salad and breads ticks as well. Highly recommended.

We went there for Veterans Day. I just love their minestrone soup. The cheese filled ravioli with meat sauce was better than I expected. My wife had the spaghetti and meatballs. So much food. Even though it was a special, limited selection menu, the food was really good.
Our server, Mia, was good also.

Gave my name and gave a phone number. Waiting over 30 minutes while watching countless other people go before us. We asked the lady, that took our name and phone number, if our table was ready and explained that we had been waiting and watching everyone else get a table. She then proceeds to tell us we aren't on the list. Maybe if everyone wasnt busy gossiping and actually paying attention to what their job is we wouldn't have been missed.

We ordered food to go. The soup had very little ingredients and I will let the Shrimp Scampi menu vs my take home pictures speak for itself. This restaurant used to be great but, it has gone way down hill. I am extremely disappointed at what they are sending out the door now.

I recently dined at Olive Garden, and while the food was outstanding, the service left much to be desired. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated, which was a good start. However, things started to go downhill from there. After sitting down, we waited far too long (around 15 to 20min) before anyone came over to greet us or offer drinks. It felt like the staff were either overwhelmed or just not paying attention. We tried to get the attention of the server, but they were busy with other tables, and it took a significant amount of time before someone acknowledged us.

Once the server arrived, the service felt rushed, and it seemed like they were trying to juggle too many things at once. Our drink refills were delayed and we had to ask for them, and our plates were left on the table longer than expected, creating a feeling of neglect. It was clear that the restaurant had some staffing issues or just wasn’t operating at full capacity.

That being said, the food was as delicious as ever. The breadsticks were warm and perfectly seasoned, and the salad that came with my meal was fresh and crisp. The main course, pasta with a rich and creamy sauce, was flavorful and satisfying. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection. It’s clear that Olive Garden takes pride in their food, which made the poor service more frustrating.

Overall, while the food made the visit worthwhile, the service was subpar. I’d still consider returning, but only with lower expectations for the service.

I have to give this a one star rating because of the kitchen manager that was hosting. I walked in and he said "what do you want" I'm sorry am I inconveniencing you by wanting to eat at your establishment? Then he just walked away and expected me to follow him without saying anything and got mad at me for not knowing to follow him. I suggest putting him back in the kitchen away from guests because you will lose business because of him. He was also on his phone the entire time he was up front too. I hope yhe general manager is not running this restaurant like this I would want to know about my staff especially management being rude to guests. Food was good as always but I think I'll head to omaha to give them my business from now on. Stay away from this olive garden.

The waitress was slow at getting to our table and taking our order she brought me a dirty plate for my salad I asked her to please give me another one and she just rinsed it off and brought it back to me by all means it was still dirty I asked her in the beginning for bread oil and vinegar and we got our appetizer before we even got our bread and vinegar I think the Olive Garden is a knockoff of Italian food if you want a better experience go try a authentic Italian restaurant instead of eating there the food was Bland you can tell the shrimp is old because it had that fishy taste the appetizer was the only thing with any kind of flavoring if it wasn't for us having a gift card we would have never gone there
