Carrie was our server today and she was awesome! I had shrimp scampi lunch portion 510 calories along with the salad. Very good.

Olive Garden is a pretty predictable place to have dinner, but I have to say that I was really impressed with the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Our server was patient and accommodating, and we enjoyed both the appetizer and dinner we had. I would return to this place and recommend this location.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with kindness. Aiden seated us and was so pleasant asked us how we were doing. Louis was our waiter, and did a great job as well as all the other employees. We liked that Andy walked around and asked if everything was good.The bathroom could have used some attention.

Olive garden is usually pretty good and this one is no exception. Been here a few times and this time I had the chicken masala fettuccine. Not the best thing Ive eaten here. Actually pasta was good. The soup was great but the chicken had like a sweet sauce that just didnt go with the pasta. That being said, even if there was a mismatch, the food was still good. Staff was highly professional, checked on us regularly and kept stuff refilled.

I got to say Im not a fan of their food. If you like heavy cream laden dishes then this is the place for you. I will say that theyre bottomless soup is a bargain and very good. Their sausage and kale soup is to die for but they only offer bottomless soup and salad Monday through Friday, not on the weekends.

We visited this location for the first time on our way back home . We really loved the ambiance, food and our table server JP (Juan). He was very friendly and gave us good suggestions. He made sure to check in on us every few mins as we were unsure about what we wanted to order and we finally ended up ordering dessert. My kids ordered Fettuccine alfredo with fried chicken which was yummy. Our favorite was Cheese ravioli. It looked so beautifully done especially the cheese on top which was grilled and had spices. We have never had cheese ravioli like this ever and we told our server too that we loved the taste and presentation of the cheese ravioli. We ordered the chocolate lasagna but that was ok. I would have loved it to be a little warm with some more stuff .I would like to request the Olive Garden team to pls pls bring back the marinara sauce without meat so that I can have Lasagna again like so many years back. I am vegetarian and love lasagna but I miss it now. I would love to recommend this location.

When we arrived there was maybe 3 groups before us, and about 5 groups that came after us and we had not been given a table after 25 minutes. The host (aidan) said he was waiting on a new server coming in at 1pm (another 15 minutes) wait after my wife and I questioned why we havent been seated yet. He told us there were no tables available, I walked through the dining and pointed out tables that were empty. I asked him are you seriously going to make us wait after you sat 5 groups that came after us?. He turned and walked away apologizing, was disrespectful to other hostess by snapping his fingers at her say no matter what dont leave and walked away. After another ten minutes, he said another server has volunteered to wait on us. He kept apologizing (now irritating) I told him you could do better, he asked if I wanted a manager I said yes you should have called him a long time ago.Now food: my son ordered off the kids menu and received different, we asked where the shrimp was on his pasta, we were charged another 6$ and not properly corrected. There was no soup as our server said it was scrap from the bottom, no cheese offered in any salads, pastas etc, the tortilla with the spinach artichoke was stale like it was sitting. My wife and daughter didnt eat their food but instead asked for it to be taken out instead. Our drinks were never offered to be refilled and no manager ever came around.

I have not been here in a few years because the last time I have been here, the food and service was not that great. This time, was wonderful. The service was friendly, fast, and efficient. Our sever was in top of everything. The food had flavor and was good. I was quiet satisfied with my meal. Much better this time.

I love Olive Garden food. Stopped here on our road trip to San Francisco. Our servers Celi and Evenly were fast, friendly and efficient. Tagged team to give customers a great experience. Wish my Olive Garden back home in Whittier had this above and beyond customer service. Explains why parking lot was full.
