" Our experience was quite average compared to what we have encountered at other Olive Gardens. The food was tasty but did not showcase anything special. Service was friendly yet slow, making the visit felt prolonged. The restaurant itself was well-kept, and I could see potential for improvement with a few more staff around during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very disappointing experience for my birthday dinner here. We waited forever for our food to arrive, and when it finally did, I was served the wrong dish. My friends ordered exactly what they wanted, but the service didn't seem to be oriented around accommodating the customer. The manager apologized, but did not offer a resolution, which was frustrating. Not the way I wanted to celebrate my birthday. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited during lunch hour and was shocked by how quick the service was. The management seems to run a well-oiled machine here. The portions were satisfying, although the pasta lacked a little flavor. I also think that the dessert options could have been better. Nonetheless, the cleanliness and overall experience made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a somewhat disappointing experience overall. The food was fine, but I felt that certain dishes were missing that traditional Italian touch. The service was commendable, but with so many other restaurants in town offering more authentic experiences, I might need to think twice about returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thought I would try the new Olive Garden after hearing positive feedback. Food was decent but honestly tasted like any other Olive Garden I’ve been to. The highlight was the staff; friendly and accommodating, but the food itself felt a bit bland compared to what I've had at other restaurants. The setup was clean and pretty, however. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for a casual lunch and was highly impressed with the hospitality and quality of the food. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous. Our server was quick to attend to us, offering excellent service throughout the meal. I will surely recommend this place to friends and family and be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Updating my review after another visit. The food was great, but there was a long wait to be seated. The staff was polite, and the interior was very clean and neatly organized. I had the Chicken Parmigiana this time, and it was cooked well, though I prefer it with a little more seasoning. The service could be a bit more efficient during busy hours, as we had to wait a while for refills. Overall, a good experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)
