" I took my family out for dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better evening! Our server was friendly and made us feel welcomed from the start. We enjoyed the lasagna and the shrimp scampi, both of which were flavorful. The portions were generous too, leading to leftovers to take home. All in all, it was a delightful dining experience and we will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to this Olive Garden was just okay. While the ambiance was nice, the food felt really generic. The breadsticks are always good, but the entrée left much to be desired. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was bland tasting. I don’t think I’ll be in a hurry to return, unless someone else suggests it. It’s fine for an easy meal, just don’t expect anything too exciting. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first Olive Garden experience and it left quite an impression. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant ambiance. I ordered the shrimp scampi and I absolutely loved it! My only critique would be that we had to wait longer than expected for our food, but the staff was friendly and helped us make the wait easier. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to several Olive Garden locations, but this one truly stands out. The staff is incredibly friendly, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, and it was creamy and delicious. The portion size was just right, and the breadsticks were fresh out of the oven! I’m definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at this Olive Garden felt more like a warm family gathering than a regular restaurant visit. Our server was incredibly nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I enjoyed the seafood Alfredo, which was rich and flavorful, and thought the portion size was generous. A wonderful experience overall, and I appreciated the welcoming atmosphere.

" While I was looking forward to my visit, I ended up somewhat disappointed. The service was slow, and it felt like we were forgotten at times. I finally got my food but it wasn’t as good as I expected. The lasagna was average, and although they offer endless breadsticks, we had to ask multiple times for more. It could have been better, but the restaurant itself was nice and clean. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Olive Garden and had high hopes, but unfortunately, it was not the best experience. The wait time was excessive for a not-so-busy evening. I ordered the chicken parm and while it was decent, I have had better at other locations. I would be hesitant to return. " (*Curated Review*)
