Went here and noticed that the silverware was dirty after we alerted our waiter of this she brought new silverware that was just as dirty as the previous silverware. Waiter and manager had a nasty attitude and when part of my party asked to cancel their orders because it had been 30 plus minutes since we ordered the waiter canceled everyone's food. I used to love Olive Garden but this by far was my worst experience at the restaurant.

Would have been 5 stars however looking at a dirty table sit for 45min wasn't pleasant and I doubt the patrons they sat right next to it weren't happy either as they ate and left rather quickly . Also our first waitress was very forgetful and inattentive for example asked 3x for napkins and was served appetizers with no silverware or napkins had to get up and retrieve our own , there were a few other issues but didn't sour our mood as we were there for a birthday and they were kind enough to put our cake in the fridge while we ate. The food was great I had chicken and shrimp carbonara portion was huge especially after soup and bread sticks .over all great place will definitely go back as it's a favorit

I placed an online order for my daughters so she could go ahead and have some lunch and she was eating her food and she notice something in her broccoli she noticed that there was a bug or a worm in the broccoli I mean I am very upset because it looks like you guys don’t clean your vegetables this is something a child is eating if it wasn’t for my daughter looking in her food she would’ve never noticed and she would’ve ate that this is very disgusting it is not OK please Olive Garden do a better job I will not be coming here anymore…

It was OK, my broccoli ? was cold. Got a new batch once I was done eating my salmon? was redeemed with a to-go soup cup size of the chocolates?

We had pasta, ravioli, lasagna, and pizza from the kids menu. You can eat all salada and bread you want. This time I took home a pasta plate for $5 (it's a small plate but still worth)

Excellent food... I especially like the waiter his name was Sam

I sat at the bar.for a minimum of 10 minutes before I was acknowledged by either of the 2 bartenders on staff that night. Yet 3 people walked up after me and were greeted right away and served. I sat quietly and patiently.and finally I was asked by the female server info need help...i told her I wanted to order food to go and she asked if I was ordering a drink. i stated yes and after maybe 5 minutes was given a menu. I waited a minute then asked if I could order a drink. She finally took my drink order, grey goose lemondrop. I then heard me he and the other attendee speaking and he informed her they were out of one of the mixes needed to make my drink but she could substitute with something else although it would later the taste. She proceeded to make my drink without even informing or asking if the the substitution was ok...the other bartender never spoke, addressed or looked my way once while I was there. I was the only black person at the bar the entire time. And I watched as they greeted every other patron within 1 minute of walking up and serving them. Mind you, this is not my first visit at this location and I had never experienced anything of this manner of this manner in the past. I was disgusted. The customer service was horrible, but I am still human and understand the service industry can be tough. I still left a good tip, however I will not ever patronize this location again.

We always love Olive Garden. It's such a nice experience. We love the take home one entree per $5!

Had dinner tonight and I have to say I was very pleased. Last time our visit was close to terrible but this time was different. I think it depends on the server you get. Our server (Hayley) was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped a lot with my husband who is a vegetarian. Offered a variety of plates for him (I was shocked). She recommended appetizers, drinks, and even dessert. Food was nice and warm salad was SO fresh 10/10.

We were told the restaurant stayed open until 10 o’clock on Christmas Eve. I called at 6:30 and I was told the restaurant closed at eight and they were no longer accepting orders and no longer taking people into the restaurant. It might be nice if everyone on the staff had the same information instead of giving the wrong information out to customers, especially for a holiday. We will no longer frequent this restaurant.
