The food and services overall is good. My husband had Margherita Chicken and I had Grilled Salmon. The foods came with bottomless salad. One thing I didn’t like, I got the old broccoli in my dish.

The food was delicious! By far, customer service was ok. Went there the first time after my son game. We ended up going back the next following week for 2nd. I will be visiting soon for 3rd. I want to try all the pasta there.

Love everything! Service was top notch, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxing. For a Friday, it wasn't so overly crowded. They may have been busy, but you can tell how they slowly rotated guest in and out made it delightful. Waitress; Kelly, was...Read More

Excellent service for a grand opening, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. One of my mother's chicken parmesan was too salty and the manager came and brought us an entirely new and perfect one. Hope to continue visiting this place in the near future

Literally it's exactly what you would expect from olive garden. Good food, good service, you just gotta get there early because there are lines. Thankful to have one in merced now. 💯🙏🏾

The service was good. I had zuppa toscano and ravioli carbonara. It was very good. I always enjoy my meals here. The bread sticks are nothing like they used to be, but they're free so... Not a huge fan of the atmosphere at this location....Read More

I don't travel much, so my opinion as usual is subjective. My experience while eating here was a European styled/San Francisco vibe. That something I haven't experienced in Merced before. The food was great, tasted different, and the customer service was good as well. Oh...Read More

Came in expecting some frozen dinner type food. However to my surprise I was shocked at how well my shrimp carbonara was cooked. Even my son's steak was perfectly cooked. To top it off, our waitress Brina Z. was amazing. Never let my drink get...Read More

We were treated almost like royalty from the second we walked in the door. The hostess Nachelle greeted us warmly and graciously accommodated our seating request. Our server Stacey was a rock star and we lacked for nothing. Very positive dining experience.

I’ve eaten here enough to say I always get great service. My calamari is always cooked good and the restaurant is always clean. Definitely one of my go to restaurants. Yes sometimes there’s a wait but don’t forget you can check in on the app!

Excellent place, just a recommendation arrive before 5 pm because it's the time when most people arrive to eat, which takes more time to get seated and served.
