This restaurant is really nice and elegant looking. It was our first time here and our server Brian made it easy for us as he gave us his recommendation on some of the dishes and appetizers that was helpful of him. He was patient and kind while we looked at the menu and didn't rush us. I ordered the chicken Alfredo with a salad and my husband ordered the cheese ravioli with meat sauce and the chicken & gnocchi. I didn't realize the salad was going to be in such a big bowl lol but it was good. We had a great time laughing at ourselves and making Brian laugh at us too he was down to earth

I had a wonderful experience at Olive Garden! The food was delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked, but what really stood out was our waitress Isabella. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her excellent service made our meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

As usual, the restaurant was hopping even though it was the middle of the after. Our server tried the best she could but it seems like the kitchen and the bar were way behind. My daughter ordered a cappuccino to have with her dessert but it was about 20 minutes late. We were already leaving by the time it was brought. Not good

We came to celebrate our anniversary on a Thursday at about 4. They were already starting to get busy! We were seated right away after asking to be seated somewhere else than first offered. The hostess was very accommodating! Our server was Kyle and he provided us with exceptional service! The food and drinks were delicious as well. This was our first time to this location and we will definitely go back!
