  1. I guess they have forgotten me. And I mean that in the best way possible. The last time I was here a few months ago I noticed service here TO ME was quickly declining. I felt some of the staff familiar with me were no longer giving me the royal treatment (which made me become a regular in the first place).

    Last evening was different. It wasn't as crowded as RL next door and we were seated immediately. When we wanted to change tables our server was very accommodating, friendly and professional.

    Overall nice time was had. I still don't fancy what they serve but hey, that's just me.

    Like  Eddie Murphy's Trading Place "Mortimer,  we're back". Please don't change again Olive Garden.

    The End

  2. Well I gave them a 2 because the server tried to keep a smile. We walked in and it was 30 minutes to closing.. The hostess paged someone and said "close this dam door", i just stared at her like she had 3 heads. We sat down and waited 20 minutes for a server to take our order. Because we knew they were closing we told her everything we needed upfront. She came back with a fly in my Patron margarita and our dinner but no bread and dipping sauces. I was so lost as to how you have a restaurant full of people and you don't have bread left.

    So i asked her if you guys don't want to serve guest after 9:30 you should close the door. She said she wishes they could tell people to not come in at this time.. -_-

    The salad taste great as usual.. My second drink minus the fly was delicious. And the Alfredo sauce lacked sauce.. Overall I wasted my time! But the server was kind enough to give us FREE to-go Salads..

  3. I don't know why this Olive Garden has a low rating. I enjoyed my experience here and had no complaints!
    The first thing I thought before trying this location was "hot mess" ! Being that it's near green acres I expected the worse but I was wrong.

    I went during the week on a Wednesday midday where it wasn't too crowded and we were seated and served right away.
    Our server was pleasant and didn't seem forced to be nice just for a tip.

    I ordered the small tri colored pasta bowl which was ok. The salad was nice and fresh and for the first time I tried calamari and actually really enjoyed it. They even have a mini tablet attached to the table so that you can sign up for the club and also pay.
    I love this place and I definitely will be coming back,

  4. Food is always good. Nothing authentic but decent for a chain restaurant.

    Normally I wouldn't write a review for a chain restaurant but I just had to comment on the service I received tonight. Came tonight with my family for dinner. Our waitress was okay. She was nice and friendly but she forgot simple things. When asked to bring water and napkins it was like she didn't want to be bothered. The water came after I asked the third time. But we never got the napkins. It was really annoying to keep asking for water, especially when she kept asking "is everything okay", do you need anything else". Ummmm yes water please.

  5. My husband and I are here for lunch a few weeks ago and it was our worst ever Olive Garden experience! The service was horrendous even though the restaurant was empty. We received our salad and soup long before our drinks (even before waters). Our waiter did not check in at all to see how we were doing either. At the end of the meal we had to waive him over for the check. I wanted a drink refill, which I was never even offered.

    As far as the food goes, it was just eh. Not very hot or as good as usual. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant.

  6. All four of these stars are for our server, Ricky.

    It wasn't a great experience from the beginning, waiting for our host to be yelled at by a tall woman with a Caribbean accent (about another guest who apparently lost their keys) before taking our names to be seated. O_o There wasn't a long wait at all for a Friday night, we were seated quickly — but there was dried up butter or cheese I had to pluck off my seat. Ew. Glad I saw it before I sat down.

    Our server Ricky was super personable. Great customer service, friendly, he gave food/drink suggestions and really seemed like he wasn't just being nice for a tip — I mean he totally could have been, but we bought it. I so appreciate that he was honest about a hiccup with our bill that caused us to wait 20 minutes longer than we would have preferred. Proving that good service goes a long way, because we were pissed but couldn't bring ourselves to take it out on his tip or this review.

    Oh, so about the food. Lol I haven't been to Olive Garden in like three years and I remember the Shrimp Alfredo tasting much better, it used to be my favorite meal of all time. We had the sampler as an appetizer — stuffed mushrooms, calamari and ravioli. The calamari was really good, mushrooms weren't bad also. There was so much food that we took most of it home, but I would say it's standard Olive Garden. Nothing over the top, but no complaints either.

  7. I went for lunch on Sunday to Olive Garden. They told me it would be a 15 minute wait due to the fact that there staff did not check in yet at 12:30 in the afternoon. What a lame excuse that was. After 20 minutes they told me it would be another half hour wait. By then a large crowd was waiting to be seated This is awful treatment for the customers and shows a uncaring staff. I will not be returning to this Olive Garden again.

  8. I visited this Olive Garden for the First time and I can say it was Okay.The service is kind of slow I must say but the waitress was really Polite,She tried her Best to accommodate Mom s Needs.The Food is simply OK.So if You are in for a Quick bite and not expecting Gourmet Pasta why not give them a try,I am quite sure you will not be disappointed.
