I hadn’t been to an Olive Garden in so long because of previous bad experiences at other locations but today I think I found the right one. The customer service exceeded my expectations my server was so nice and went over and beyond for us....Read More

Grilled chicken fettuccine. Sausage Rigatoni with mushroom sauce. Shrimp and chicken with spaghetti. Food was good like always. My all time fave Zuppa Toscana and endless salad. Service was really good. He kept checking on us and refill our glasses without asking.

Our server- Alicia, was the kindest person. The food was very fresh and delicious. Their famous breadsticks along with Minestrone soup was a delight to have. The fettuccini alfredo with crispy chicken is an all time hit. Would definitely recommend to try!
