" Had an overall good experience at Olive Garden! The server was warm and welcoming the whole time. I ordered the pasta with creamy alfredo sauce—rich and hearty! A bit on the heavier side, but I loved it. The restaurant was rather busy, yet the staff managed everything well. I’d recommend giving this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" This location is truly lovely! I visited Olive Garden for my wife’s birthday last weekend, and everything was fantastic. The staff went out of their way to make it special, and the food was delicious. I had the Shrimp Scampi and it was flavorful. While I wish the breadsticks were hotter, overall it was an excellent experience, and I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to take my family to Olive Garden for dinner, and it was a pretty good experience overall. The endless soup and salad option is always a choice, but I was disappointed with the lasagna I ordered. It was not as flavorful as expected. But the staff were very polite which made a difference. I would visit again but would have to consider my food choices carefully. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a charming evening at Olive Garden, the ambiance was lovely, and the service was on point! However, the food was not as delightful as I hoped. I ordered the tortellini alfredo and it was creamy but needed more seasoning. The breadsticks, of course, were still a highlight. I'd recommend it for social gatherings, but maybe not for fine dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" My birthday dinner at Olive Garden was great! We had a reservation, so we were seated promptly. The waiter was polite and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the fettuccine alfredo and a side of soup, both of which were delicious. Afterward, they surprised me with a dessert! It was my first time here, but I would happily return for more celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful experience at Olive Garden! The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is always friendly. I ordered the chicken alfredo, and it met my expectations. The breadsticks were abundant and super tasty! I feel like this restaurant is great for a casual outing. Can't wait to come back with family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Olive Garden I'm reminded of how consistent they are! The food may not be the most authentic Italian, but it's comforting and satisfying. I might suggest some new dishes that lean closer to traditional Italian cuisine, but their breadsticks and salad are unbeatable! They are always welcoming and friendly. Great place for both family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)
