I'm not sure if it's just me...or if I'm getting tired of Olive Garden. We just moved here last year and were excited to be close to an OG again. But each time, we seem to have the newest server who doesn't know the menu, the meal is paced wrong, and the food it just so so. Even the breadsticks... More

Went to Olive Garden for Easter. Expected a crowd and long wait. Found neither. Service and food was good, as expected. Had Eggplant for the first time in several years at Olive Garden and it was very good. Overall a nice dining experience for commercial grade italian food. Would recommend.

I will seldom review chain restaurants, because they are just that; but this is one of those cases where the place deserves a review because of the great service we received. We were taken care of by a waiter that was incredible welcoming, and that made sure that everything was just right. Everything else was just Olive Garden. We had... More

I eat at a lot of Olive Gardens. Our family has used this local venue quite regularly for the past decade for family celebrations. Of late, the service has varied from its usual excellence... to 'only fair', and sadly, on the last visit I rate our overall service and experince as 'poor'. Bread was cold (hunh?) soup took forever and... More

They recently started call-ahead seating which will help a lot on cutting down on your wait. The food is almost always hot and tasty, although the wait is sometimes lengthy. We eat here at least 1 or 2 times a month with our entire family of 11 kids and grandkids.

I attend the Venetian's Day Free meal given to us vets last Sunday 11 Nov 2012. Although the free menu was limited the service was great. I waited for about 15 minutes for a seat quite speedy for such a busy day. The waiter I had could have not been much better. He checked on my quite frequent very good... More

For a chain restaurant I think Olive Garden is pretty darn good. Unending soup and salad and bread sticks. Good lasagna and pasta meals.

This was a great meal after a long trip. The soup, salad, and breadsticks is a good option if you want something light.
