Walked mentioning that i wanted the veterans day meal. Didn’t receive the special menu. Paid full price for my food. Great service though, but sad outcome.

Update November 2025:
We were number and my wife asked to come here, and we generally like Olive Garden, so we came. Staff and their service quality is still high. My wife found here food quite tasty. We both order from the lighter side menu. I personally found the chicken too salty and with an unexpected springy texture. The salad dressing was also a bit too salty. I didn't finish what's on plate even though I'll need a snack with protein later. Again, my wife enjoyed it and so we'll be back, but I'm the one writing the review, and I won't elect to come here as a first or second choice.

Also, why is the side street entrance to the parking lot blocked off? Why is the entrance in the front while all the parking spots are in the back? Finally, why isn't the specific driveway better marked? I'm beginning to think that Olive Garden is going down and the other annoyances are looming in importance. Sigh. Too bad.

Mother's Day 2021. Very well organized order pickup system set up outside. We were early and so got a table right away, but it got quite full quickly. We ordered Salmon and soup and didn't ask for any of the unlimited refills on that nor the breadsticks, and the staff was very worried we'd get bored or impatient as we were waiting for the main dishes. The food came out about 20 min after we ordered, maybe 15 min after the soup. Obviously the Olive Garden has certain efficiency standards that are higher than our requirements. But enough about logistics.

The Pasta Fagioli and Minestrone soups seem to have the same base, with slightly different additives. Both were fine. The salmon was very good and nicely mildly spiced. We had enough left on our plates to fill a to-go box.

So, Service: A+ The staff were all great.
Food: B (we're used to fairly fancy stuff but plan to come back when it matches our shopping plans & feel like basic Italian. )
Value: B. Quality is what we can cook at home. If one is hungry enough to take advantage of the unlimited soups and brradsticks refills or simply avoids them, then it becomes a B+.

I just wanna know where's the Alfredo sauce? This is the 2nd time this has happened and it wont be a 3rd. I still love this place but this is making me second guess.

Been waiting on a response from Olive Garden and as you can see,...no response. Will Olive Garden please tell me, WHERE'S THE SAUCE.

Disappointed that the chicken doesn't taste freshly grilled but frozen then thawed and reheated. Takeout was well packaged and workers were kind and helpful.
