The ambiance here is always nice; it's a great casual, Italian dining atmosphere to bring family, friends, a date, etc. The host team and servers are always nice and on spot. Usually the food is very good; however, on this trip the meal was a little off. I try not to be too hard on the kitchen because I understand things happen like maybe getting very busy or short staffed it training new staff. I do make sure to let them know if something isn't right so they are able to correct it. This time some things were over salted and overcooked. The food was still edible and I will still return. This is only the first time I've had an issue with my meal and they make sure to constantly check on guests and they corrected the issues I had.
Really great pasta, not too many options to choose from if you are not in the mood for pastas, but there are some. Their sauces are great, exceptional staff (I visited on college graduation 10 minutes away) and the staff was on their A game. Never had a empty drink, food was hot and fully stocked on everything. Loved it. Only issue is the lack of variety with non-pasta dinners. Loved it.
Like any other Olive Garden location, predictably overrated. That is not to say it is bad or that the service was poor, that is not the case at all, but rather that it is very difficult to see why people rave about Olive Garden as the food is decisively average and for the price you may as well go somewhere more memorable.
I love olive garden. Almost all the servers have been super sweet and fun to talk to when I go alone. Sheryl, Tim, and Hope are my favorite servers. Tim always remembers exactly what I want, Sheryl always jokes around and makes me smile and Hope is newer but she was very sweet and I plan to request her next time!
