" What a lovely evening out at Olive Garden! After hearing praises from friends, I decided to finally visit. The atmosphere was cozy, and the lighting was perfect for a date night. Our server, Jessy, was fantastic—quick with our orders and attentive to our needs. When the food arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was! The Tortellini al Forno was to die for. I also loved the fact they kept our drinks full without us having to ask every few minutes. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a frequent visitor to Olive Garden over the years, and I keep coming back for their amazing breadsticks and salad! The ambiance is lovely, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff is generally friendly, but I had a hiccup with a recent visit where my server seemed distracted and we had to wait a long time for service. It was disappointing but not enough to deter me completely; I believe in second chances. The food remains delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my sister’s birthday celebration here, and it was a mix of good and bad! The food was excellent, everyone enjoyed their meals. My only issue was the service; it felt like they were understaffed, which led to slow service. The atmosphere was great for a special occasion, and we appreciated the staff singing happy birthday! It was a charming touch. I would return, just hopefully on a less busy evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I made a reservation for my sister's birthday dinner, and somewhat regretted it. Although the service was friendly, it felt chaotic at times. Our meals took longer than expected, which affected our celebratory vibe. The food itself was fine, though I wished it matched the ambiance. For a birthday dinner, it didn't quite hit the mark—perhaps I’ll consider other Italian places for the next celebration. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family dinner at Olive Garden that left us wanting to return soon! The combo of unlimited soup and salad is always a value for money, and everyone in our group found something they liked on the menu. Our waiter, Daryl, was fantastic and kept the atmosphere light and fun. The Chicken Alfredo was rich and satisfying while the desserts were the perfect sweet ending. Highly recommend for families looking for a great meal without breaking the bank! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a cozy place for dinner last night and chose Olive Garden. I was enchanted by the Italian decor and the inviting atmosphere. I opted for the Shrimp Scampi, which was absolutely divine—perfectly cooked shrimp in a heavenly garlic sauce. My dining companion ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana, and she loved it too. The service was a bit slow initially, but once we placed our order, everything turned around. I would love to dine here again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Olive Garden with high hopes, based on previous visits, but it fell a bit flat this time. My Zoodles Primavera was underwhelming. The flavors were bland, and I found the portion to be a bit meager for the price. On the positive side, the service was great as our server checked in regularly. Might have been a one-off experience, so I’m not ready to give up on them yet! " (*Curated Review*)
