Exactly what you expect from Olive Garden, but with better service. They asked about food allergies when I ordered and upon learning, sent a manager to verify their process. Fantastic service without being “too much”.

The food was great but a little pricey. The best buy is the unlimited soups and salads.

Conveniently located close to shopping.Went there for lunch. Staff was friendly and food was good. It is NOT authentic Italian cousine, but it's still good. They have great deals on take home meals, a reason why I like to go there.The decor has a Tuscan flare.Parking: Plenty of parking all the way around the restaurant

The restaurant had a lovely ambiance and a tranquil atmosphere. I must commend our waitress, Danielle, for her exceptional service. She demonstrated impeccable professionalism while efficiently managing her tables, all while maintaining a warm and friendly demeanor. Danielle's ability to seamlessly transition between casual conversation and providing detailed menu explanations was truly impressive. Her outstanding performance certainly warrants recognition, perhaps even a bonus or additional compensation. We look forward to returning to Olive Garden, and we sincerely hope to be able to request Danielle as our server once again.

I just came out of the restaurant, and while this is still fresh in my heart, I have to share my wonderful experience. It's April 18th 5pm, I came in around shift change and headed to the bar were Josh was our Bar tender, he was amazing, hilarious and really made my day and my husband and he is usually a sour puss. The first thing I noticed was how attentive he was to each and every customer. He was really quick with those drinks, too. He really knew how to carry witty banter and bot to mention the food, I ordered the calamari, was delicious BTW and nice and ?. Later, after the shift change, we had this super friendly bartender Becca...Hey girllll...she was also equally amazing. Finally, my food came in, and the chicken alfredo did not disappoint. I wanted to add, I was having a shifty week, super stressed, Becca really went out of her way to make me feel special, with a simple gift of a couple extra chocolate pieces..gurll I needed those thanks..thanks so much to the olive garden team, you really made my day, I needed that ❤️

We went to dinner last night, and we had an amazing experience! Empathetic and efficient welcome, focused on the customer. Our server James was attentive, smiling, patient, knew the menu by heart and sometimes understood our hesitations and although we spoke in French among ourselves (from Quebec, Canada), he probably understood by our non-verbal language sometimes (we addressed to him in English).He saw our cat in the carrier and took an interest in him, sharing with us his own interest in cats, etc. I warmly recommend this restaurant!! And a big thank you to James who made this dinner memorable.Parking: On a street corner, take-out by car possible, or eat on site and easy and sufficient parking.Kid-friendliness: Yes

UPDATED couple days later: Olive Garden reached out to me and wanted details. Genuinely concerned and intends to use as learning tool with their OG managers.20 minutes after ordering Sam brought our salad. Normally your salad comes out quickly. I know exact time as I pointed out it to him it was 2:40 and we were ordering from lunch portions. Then my 3pm alarm went off on my phone as he set out our salad bowl. We had asked for dressing "on the side" and he let us know he put the "extra dressing" on the salad already. That defeated the purpose in controlling the dressing didn't it? He offered to remake it and I said we can't wait another 15 minutes for a redo. He grabbed the salad and returned in about 5 minutes with it done correctly. Within another 3 minutes our food was at the table before we could eat salad. It appeared the food had been sitting as the sauce was dried on the edges - you know, the glaze look. We had to ask for drink refills. He never offered dessert. Server made this a bad experience. We paid via kiosk and left.Not the typical for Olive Garden I hope.

Best customer service we’ve ever had at an Olive Garden! The super sweet girls up front noticed how much our kids loved the chocolate mints when we came in and they had a bag of them waiting for each child as we left the restaurant.So sweet!! Our dinner was wonderful and our server was on point. Very impressed.

Can't say much about the food as I only pick up for family, and it's not my type. However, the noted pickup times are never right. I once waited over an hour just for one meal that I placed online ahead of time

Best experience we've had at any restaurant in a very long time. In spite of it being Friday night dinner rush our party of 6 were seated quickly, service was perfect and the food was delicious. We especially appreciated the attention given to our gluten free guest by the server and the chef. Never had that before. I wish I could say the same about our Olive Garden at home.Dietary restrictions: One member of our family is sensitive to gluten. Not only did they provide a GF menu but the chef came out and conferred with her on choices. Her plate was delivered separately to the table.
