" I visited Olive Garden with my friends last weekend and was met with subpar service. Although the food was decent, it lacked the authentic Italian flavor I expected. We each ordered different pastas, and while my lasagna was okay, my friend's fettuccine was bland. Service was slow and we had to wait a while for everything. However, the ambiance was pleasant and made for a nice setting. I might return but will try to manage expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience at Olive Garden. The restaurant appeared dirty, and our waiter was rude and forgot several orders. The food lackluster and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. When we voiced our concerns, we were ignored. I left feeling completely unsatisfied and regretted choosing this place for dinner. Would definitely not recommend coming here unless changes are made. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Olive Garden today and it was a mixed experience. While the atmosphere was nice, the food was a letdown. I ordered the tour of Italy and although it looked beautiful, the flavors were disappointing. The chicken was dry, and the marinara sauce lacked seasoning. The staff was friendly, but we had long waits between courses. I might suggest sticking to the soups and salad, which were their best offerings. I will probably think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a fantastic time! The staff was accommodating and even arranged a complimentary dessert to celebrate. The pasta primavera was fresh and didn't taste greasy, which I loved. The downside was the wait time for our entrees, which took longer than expected. The atmosphere was buzzing, making it a fun place to celebrate. Overall a decent experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful experience at Olive Garden for my birthday with family! The waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was fresh and reminded me of home-cooked Italian. The fettuccine alfredo was rich and creamy, and definitely one of the best I've had! Plus, the unlimited breadsticks just made it all the better! One thing I appreciated was the dining atmosphere; it was both comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommend for family dinners! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Olive Garden was quite average. The food was okay, but the flavors didn't live up to my expectations. The atmosphere was fine, but our server didn't seem too engaged. While the breadsticks were great as always, I felt the main dishes could've been better seasoned and prepared. I don’t know if I would rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went for dinner and was very pleased with the quality of the food. The Chicken Alfredo was both filling and creamy without being overly rich. My partner had spaghetti and meatballs which he loved, saying the meatballs reminded him of his grandmother's recipe. The ambiance was great, relaxed with a classic Italian flair. The only critique is the slow service; it took a while for our drink orders to come through. Nonetheless, highly recommend this location! " (*Curated Review*)
