First time experience at Olive Garden-Service - 5/5Food - 3/5Price - 2/5Seating and cleanliness - 4/5Service was absolutely great. We were a large group of 11. But the waitress was very patient, took time to explain everything and was very cheerful.Food and price were a bummer. All Pasta dishes were undercooked. One was severely undercooked and we had to send it back. Chicken Marsala was dry.Appetizers, on the other hand, were all stellar. They do offer to add more cheese on everything, which was very interesting.Price was on the higher end. The price was not justified for the quality and taste of food.

My brother and I came to enjoy a nice meal today and unfortunately they were unable to make the drink my brother ordered but the staff went out of the way to make it right by comping our appetizers. Now that is customer service! Thank you Olive Garden ❤️ we've always loved this place but this gives us just another reason to keep coming back!

They don’t deserve a rating! Me and my sat down in this restaurant for almost 30 minutes and was ignored. People came in after me and my wife and they promptly received service. I was sad that in America people are treated so differently. I believe it was because I am black that I was treated differently. The white people received service. BLACKS are not welcomed at this Olive Garden in my opinion.

Great food, we had different dishes and all were delicious. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Can't wait to go back to try a different dish.

Ever visit was extremely good. From The smiling hostess to the incredible waitress we had they made our dining experience pleasurable. The food was top quality and we would recommend this Olive garden to everyone

Pretty good. Service was good, seemed like the servers cared about service which was awesome to see.Food is always just average. Bread sticks seem like they have gone downhill, maybe they figured out how to cheapen them.Salad is always good. Overall good experience.

Salad was awesome, just love their salad dressing. Service was not great compared to previous visits to same facility but.... Selected the lunch special of salad & pasta plate, but pasta plate seemed extra small serving. Overall good experience, just not as good as previous visits.

I had the Chicken Marsala here with a bowl of Toscana Zuppa (Soup) and it was fabulous! First time I had Chicken Marsala in a long time (since I last made some at home) and very much enjoyed my meal.The chicken was moist and thickly cut. It was exactly as I remembered it from the last time I had it at an Olive Garden over in Austin, Texas. That means that the chain keeps the food quality consistent between locations (at least as far as I've been able to tell).They made my requested substitute without any protest. It normally comes with Alfredo and I requested instead some spaghetti pasta with some more of the Marsala sauce on it.The bread sticks were delicious, particularly when enjoyed with the zuppa.Their Toscana Zuppa didn't have as much Kale as I'd have wanted, at least in the bowl I got, but it was delicious and satisfied my craving for that flavor. I made the stuff at home, but sometimes it's good to go to the source and enjoy the recipe that inspired copycat recipes galore on the internet.My drink was a lemonata (sp?). I worried that it might be alcoholic due to how it looks, but it wasn't. I very much enjoyed the seltzer mixed with the passion fruit and ---- hmm... I forget the other fruit that was in the drink, but it was delicious, nonetheless.The service was stellar. I got a very friendly waitress, who checked on me around seven times, confirming quality of food, replacing the drink for me once, and showing me how to make use of the machine on the table that can take your payment. The front slot is NOT for your credit card!!! The correct slot is hidden on the right side and behind. It's not obvious at a glance, but for those who don't notice that detail, this hopefully will help a reader to avoid a slightly embarrassing incident. XD

As always the Olive garden is an exceptional place to eat. From the hostess waiting to seat us to our Johnny-on-the-spot waitress absolutely great service. The food was exceptional. Honestly, if you pay attention to detail as I do you'll see that your meal was prepared by a professional. A professional that takes pride in what they do. I'm be honest with ya for a moment. For me alone, Valentine's Day is just another day! Valentine's Day, to my wife, is a special day. She gets very female! I love that about her. So it makes it a special day for me too. ##realmenlovetheirwives

Food was alright, it's definitely gone downhill since covid. The noodles had quite a few crunchy spots, bread sticks were hard, and there was a bug in the salad. Too much to pay for mediocre quality. I used to really like this place.
