I overall had a great experience here! The food was fresh and the service was excellent. The one thing I did want to comment on, though, was the conversations I overheard right next to me by a female manager. Most of the time while I ate, I heard her making rather negative comments, and some of those negative comments were about her employees. I found it rather unprofessional, and I would advise not to have those types of conversations around customers. It's not a good look on the management nor the environment of the establishment. Otherwise, I had a pleasant time here.

This is a nice Italian restaurant, however I am pretty sure you order a soup/salad and then your entry, now their meatballs taste no like homemade but from walmart for $4.99 pack 😭 the lounge feels good.

Went in on a Sunday & it was super busy. The service was honestly pretty great considering how busy they were. However, my pasta tasted like smelly feet, the salad was DRENCHED in dressing, and the gnocchi in the chicken gnocchi soup felt like eating a ball of play dough. The food was just not good at all. Service was lovely, food was a 1/10. Sad :(

My friend picked up spaghetti orders last evening (2/7/25). When we opened them there was very little tomato sauce with scant beef! Very disappointing. Doubt they’d serve such in the restaurant! Woukd the employees eat dry pasta????

I've been frequenting this restaurant for many years. Inflation caused our family to forego going out to eat for a while. It seems the flavors and ingredients have changed over the past year, and not for the better.

Came here on a Saturday at 4pm with my 2 kids so a party of 3. In the past the service has been great. This time we got seated right away, but it took the waiter about 10 min to acknowledge we were there. Set down silverware and said he was swamped that he’d be with us “in a sec” We watched as everyone around us was getting their food and drinks at much larger tables. Took my daughter to the bathroom while we waited and the manager was flirting with some of the wait staff in the bar. Then we got back to our table, still no waters or a waiter to even take a drink order. All in all we were probably there 20 min without any service other than some silverware. As we were walking out the door after poor service, the manager was up front I’m assuming flirting with the hostesses this time. I’m not faulting the waiter because he did look slammed but maybe the manager or one of the other 25 wait staff could’ve stepped in.

For a packed Saturday night the wait time was only 10-15 minutes. Food was good.

Ordered a medium rare steak that came out so well done I couldn't chew through it. I guess it's my fault for not ordering spaghetti but if they can't make a steak they shouldn't put it on the menu. The staff was kind and they removed it from the bill but we still paid for it (it wasn't the server's fault). Anyway, it's olive garden, the McDonald's of pasta dishes, so it is what it is.

My mother and I went to Olive garden today for lunch and our server, Jacob was wonderful. He was very nice, polite and considerate of all our wants and needs and made sure we had everything we needed and he went above and beyond.

We normally dine but, tonight we did take out and this review seems long overdue. One of my favorite restaurants since I was a child and still is as an adult! The food is always amazing and the car side pickup is life changing!!! Never have I had a bad experience eating here. Love love love ❤️
