The atmosphere really stands out here, I love the 00’s look of the place and hope they never change it, I find it very comforting and makes me very hungry when stepping foot in here.

Food was very good. The fried mozzarella appetizer was very good. Server was very nice and fast service!
Had to wait for the perfect Salmon but worth it.

Went to this Olive Garden tonight to try and have a nice Friday night out with my family and we were seated for an hour and a half without receiving our food only drinks and endless bread 2 other families came in after us had gotten their food and even dessert. I’m a pregnant and just wanted to eat!! I’m very disappointed with the service received when Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants. After I paid and tipped I asked for our food to be boxed to go as we still hadn’t received it and the waiter was very happy to do so in a timely manner. The manager came out and apologized that we had such a long wait and told me we didn’t have to pay, I said I already paid. He proceeded to apologize and offered a gift card but honestly I won’t be going back to this location and I advise anyone who is black like myself and my family to not go here as well

Cory was our fantastic waitress! She brought refills of our drinks before we were finished with our drinks. She anticipated our need before we asked. The food was served hot and delicious.

We had an issue with a server who did not bring us the salad or breadsticks before the main entree. I called today to see if any of the regular servers were working, and the host who answered the phone refused to tell me. Not going there for spotty service.

If you've been to an Olive garden then this is your basic menu and quality. The overall service though is extremely polite and welcoming. Still a great value.

I went here for veterans day. I got the endless soup, salad and bread sticks. It was good. I would go back for that again. My husband ordered the eggplant parm. He said it was good. Our server was nice. I would go back.

We visited on the evening of October 7, 2025, and had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed right at the door by a friendly gentleman who held it open for us, and the hostess seated us immediately. Our server, Julie, came right over with a smile, took our drink order, and set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Julie was fantastic—friendly, attentive, efficient, and so kind to our daughter. She made us feel truly cared for, and you could tell she takes pride in what she does. The restaurant itself was spotless, the atmosphere was inviting, and everything just felt extra special this time around.

We always enjoy coming here, but this visit stood out because of how much the staff went above and beyond. Thank you to Julie and the entire team for making our family night out so memorable!

I am a bit of a foodie and Olive Garden was not on my list of restaurants to try but circumstance intervened and I'm pleased that they did. First, the ambience was just right. Rustic Tuscan style with nice lighting. Not too bright but enough to read the menus without the aid of a flashlight. Service was nice without being fake. Salad dishes were ice cold and the house Italian dressing was quiet good. The Mariana sauce was surprisingly good too. Not too sweet as some places go with. The portions of shrimp were beyond generous. The price was also a nice surprise. I would definitely go again.
