Hosts were friendly and seated us quickly, our server Olivia was wonderful and very attentive. Food was alright, portions were ample. One complaint is that a man in a catsuit kept burglarizing our bread sticks from our table and meowing at us.

Tanya was the best server anyone could ask for. We had a party of 14 and to a person everyone agreed she was absolutely wonderful. She refilled glasses, soup bowls, and cleared dishes with no prompting. She was absolutely the best.

Had a really positive dining experience here while visiting town. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food came out relatively quickly, and everything was hot and tasted delicious, in my opinion. It was one of the better Olive Gardens I've to.

Oh, very good service and cozy place, along with those who serve us at the table, although NOT everything ordered is complete, as there is NO supervision of what you will get in the takeout order.
