The soup is very delicious and especially the pasta. We liked it when the waitress put the fresh grated cheese on it and the very soft buns. You can entertain yourself on the tablet while they deliver your order, but it has an additional price...Read More

Stopped in on Sunday evening. There was a half hour wait, so we went to the bar and got served earlier. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and they arrived hot and delicious. The ser server/bartender was friendly, efficient, and responsive to our requests.

This is now my favorite olive garden. The food was much better than other olive gardens we've been too. It's still olive garden, so not gourmet food or anything, but still a better experience. The server we got was also very attentive and nice.

We love the food and the value. We usually eat here for lunch and have leftovers but we get the I think it's the $6.99 dinners to go for the kids and we call it a great day.
