I've been to this location 3 times in the last month, every time they have been lackadaisical with refilling drinks, bread, and soup. When the main courses came out, each time the pasta meals had very little sauce on then. Fettuccine Alfredo should have sauce. It almost tasted like butter noodles, which is hard to justify paying for. Location always seems loud and to congested to enjoy comfort food meals with family. Overall, better management would probably correct a lot of the concerns.

I didn’t know a server could be as helpful as Meia was. You’d be lucky to have someone as attentive, polite and service oriented as her. She did a great job keeping up with our needs without us ever having to ask or prompt her.The food was as good as you might expect, the breadsticks were extra tasty tonight compared to other olive gardens. This restaurant lived up to the old slogan of “when you’re here, you’re family.”

We went here to celebrate our daughter's accomplishment and the store was clean and staff was friendly. They were out of their gluten free pasta and chicken gnocchi soup. While they advertised endless soup there was sadly only one bowl and no discount as a result. Servicer was friendly but didn't provide plates for breadsticks which I thought was the norm. Bar was closed so while the restaurant was practically empty we still had to wait in the lobby. All these oversights may be because we came in between normal meal hours and there was a shift change. Will probably eat here again and hope for better service.

MEIA - the server.. WAS AMAZING. BUT - everything else was IMO below Olive Garden standards. From the way we were greeted.. to just overall vibe. Maybe short staffed, not sure.

If you've been to other Olive Garden's, it is on par with others I've been to. We like going for the endless soup/salad/bread sticks once a month or so for lunch. Tends to be a wait but usually not more than 5-10 minutes.Soup and salad is always really good and we like getting the Stuffed Ziti Fritta appetizer a lot. Service ranges from ok to fantastic depending on the day and server. They are never rude and always do good with getting drinks and bringing more soup/bread sticks.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my wishes. Haven’t been to Olive Garden for quite awhile. Will be back. Would be nice if they had another one in the area as sometimes they have a waiting of up to an hour. Seen many people leave when told how long they would have to wait.

Total fiasco! We were told an hour wait for our group of 9 family members celebrating a 21st birthday. It was close to 90 minutes before they seated us in 3 booths! WHAT!??Two soup orders totally incorrect, no chicken in the 2 orders of chicken tortellini Alfredo and charged for the birthday donuts (that was removed after being brought to their attention). And what happened to endless salad? No compensation offered for any of the errors or extra time or crazy seating for a family birthday celebration! I must say the wait staff was perhaps more attentive...but by this time most other diners were gone.

Pretty good sized Meatball and Chicken Parm on special were very good.Good sized portion would be an understatement!We'd started out looking for a Mexican Restaurant and this turned out to be a nice alternative.The Chicken Dumpling Soup was amazing too!

Went to the Olive Garden today I wanted to feel fancy. I felt at home with the various pasta dishes and generic Italian music. Angelica was our server, probably spelt that wrong but you get the point. She did a fantastic job, even gave me free dessert for it being my birthday. Would go back again.
