Wife and I both got the never ending soup and salad. Soup and salad was very good. It also includes bread sticks. Service was excellent.

Food was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but it is an Olive Garden and for an Olive garden this was pretty great. We were also seated immediately during the middle of lunch on a Saturday, though I imagine that was mostly luck.I got a build your own pasta, spaghetti with marinara and italian sausage. The pasta was well cooked, the sausage was spicy and flavorful, and it all paired well with the slightly sweet marinara. I also enjoyed the chicken and gnoki soup. Both my other party members got orders of the shrimp Alfredo with a side salad, and seemed quite pleased. Apparently the scallions on the dish were perfectly cooked. We also got two appetizers, the calamari and the meatballs, and both were very good with nice big portions.The real star of the day though, was our server. Ro was awesome! Super friendly and cheerful, and she was super on top of drinks. I don't think there was a single empty glass the whole time we were there. She even offered to put our food into the takeout boxes for us when we were done which was super helpful. Her sunny demeanor really lifed our entire group's spirits, and I dont think I've had such an attentive server since pre-Covid. Amazing customer service from her, and every other person we interacted with today. Clearly someone in charge is doing something right, to keep such amazing waitstaff in high spirits. You can really tell by the staff's enthusiasm and attitude when there's a good manager and when there's a bad one.Vegetarian options: My sibling is vegetarian and has been for several years, though they do partake in seafood. While options outside seafood or meat dishes were minimal, they really enjoyed the calamari appetizer and the shrimp alfredo dish.

Great waiter and great food. Down side...We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated when the restaurant wasn't busy and over half empty. Most workers were standing around talking to each other. Our waiter and the good food made up for the wait.

I am compelled to share my recent horrendous experience at Olive Garden, which left me utterly disappointed and frustrated. My girlfriend, accompanied by our 5-year-old daughter, and I visited Olive Garden yesterday with the hope of enjoying a pleasant dining experience, but what ensued was nothing short of a culinary catastrophe.From the very beginning, the incompetence of the staff was glaringly apparent. Despite there being no wait for seating, the hostess neglected to provide us with basic necessities such as silverware and menus, leaving us awkwardly waiting at our table like neglected patrons. To add insult to injury, we were informed that they were out of red wine, a staple beverage option that one would expect a reputable Italian restaurant to have readily available.However, the real ordeal began when our food finally arrived after an interminable wait. The dishes were not only delayed to the point of absurdity but were also shockingly subpar. The quality of the food was abysmal, lacking in flavor, and seemed to have been prepared with little care or attention to detail. It was evident that the kitchen staff were either incompetent or simply apathetic towards their craft.Furthermore, the exorbitant prices only added insult to injury. In an era where everything seems to be getting more expensive, a $74 meal should at least be palatable, if not enjoyable. However, the dismal quality of the food coupled with the steep prices left a bitter taste in our mouths, both figuratively and literally.In summary, our visit to Olive Garden was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. The utter disregard for customer satisfaction, coupled with the abysmal quality of food and the unjustifiably high prices, renders this establishment unworthy of patronage. I implore anyone considering dining at Olive Garden to reconsider and explore other dining options where they might actually receive the respect and quality they deserve.In conclusion, Olive Garden has not only lost our patronage but has also left a lasting impression of disappointment and disgust. It is my sincere hope that management takes heed of this scathing review and undertakes drastic measures to rectify the myriad of issues plaguing their establishment. Until then, I strongly advise avoiding Olive Garden at all costs.
