Our experience has always been good at every location of Olive Garden including this one. Our food was delayed and our server kept us updated on the status and the manager was very courteous and served us when the food was ready. Ambience is great.

Our server Ashley made our experience a prefect one. Our order was taken and delivered better than any visit we have had before. She should get employee of the month and a raise in pay.

Appetizers came out quick. However are meals took probably about 30-40 minutes. The waitress told us one of our meals fell on the floor and she had them remake it. So a grain of salt. You do get a lot of food for your money And you can't go...Read More
