We found a long hair in our soup and their solution was if you want a dessert will comp you that. When we said we wouldn't have room for soup there was nothing else said. Clearly they don't care that much that we went through that. I know stuff happens and sometimes it's uncomfortable but they could have comped our soda or appetizer or even 5% something other than dessert.

Walked in and was greeted and showed a seat. We waited over 10 minutes, and not one waiter/waitress greeted us. The entire restaurant had 5 couples in it. We got up to leave and saw 7 waiters/waitresses all standing together at the front desk talking and laughing. On the way out, one young lady said, "Thanks for visiting." I told her we've been waiting over 10 mins and no one came to our table with even a glass of water. All 7 just looked confused and said nothing. Thanks, Olive Garden.

The only thing I can say about this place was they made good drinks. The food was mediocre. I was mostly amazed that the manager could not figure out how to take payment for a medium sized party. The waitress never asked if it would be one check or separate checks. It took so long that one of us paid for the whole check. Some of us did not get their food on time and some food sat so long and had to go back because the food was cold.

If I could give this visit zero stars I would. The management used to be so much better but it is apparently gone downhill which is unfortunate
One of my friends had booked a reservation for 16 of us to have a secret Santa get together at least 2 weeks ago if not longer. They couldn't find our reservation until a manager got involved.
When it came to them bringing the food out, there were several plates that came out of the kitchen cold and had to be remade which was a huge inconvenience.
From the get-go are waitress could have thought ahead with as many people as were in our party when it came to ordering and asked if you wanted to do separate checks. That did not happen.
When it came to paying the bill, first the kiosks at the table we were at wouldn't work between our server and a supervisor or manager they kept on passing the book between the two of them as to how the check was going to get split up. The supervisor or manager made some bullshit excuse about how splitting up the check could be messy. How is that our fault? His employee should have thought ahead and she did not then he tried to say that it can only be split up three different ways. TALK ABOUT A LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. In the end, another lady within our party went and paid the whole bill so that way we could all get on with our evenings.
I don't do poor reviews regularly but this one is VERY deserving of a poor review.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION AT ALL.

There is plenty of parking. As usual someone parks so close that you can't open your doors. Smh. No Wai to be seated. Patrons and server was not friendly. He did not ask if we wanted more salad or drink refills. The food was underwhelming.

It was noisy we could not talk. We get together once a month to visit and catch up. Couldn't hear.
Parking: There are plenty of spots, most were full.

Tiffany, the general manager, was a great help to may people, including her staff. It was very busy with a few large parties, and instead of barking orders like most GM's do she was out on the floor helping the crew.

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt it was mandatory for my server was Tina and she was excellent! She checked on us multiple times even when it was a really busy Tuesday night 9/17. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Excellent server I hope to have her again next time!!
