Me and my wife had a spectacular experience. Our server, Marcie was excellent. She checked on us often, refilled our drinks, bussed our dishes and was very friendly. It's become rare to have such great service lately but we will definitely return again soon. The food was also very well cooked and our appetizer came out at an appropriate time in relation to our meal. If you go to this olive garden, ask for Marcie and tip her well!

Our server was so sweet and very attentive; she was pulled between several tables besides ours as apparently there was a very large party that came in around the same time. We sat for about an hour total, and our appetizers and parts of our meal were delivered very quickly. The bar was backed up and my friend's drink was not brought out for quite a while. Our biggest issue was that my friends entree was never delivered. We had to ask for it to be boxed up. I had time to eat my own as well as finish my drinks, and she finished her drink that was delivered late. I would not have eaten had she not had her appetizers, since we just assumed it took longer to make her food than the batch made soup I got. The server was so, so apologetic, and she boxed up the food beautifully for us to leave with. There were 3 servers assisting with this large party, and other servers bringing our food each time so she could focus on them. It seems that some communication errors must have occurred. We did ass

Our server yesterday was amazing! I believe her name was Fay? Fae? She was the most helpful waitress and we were her last table of the day. We had unintentionally made he run back and forth but she was very helpful and kind! I would definitely love to go back because of her. The food is good I usually get the shrimp scampi but had arrived after 3 so it was a bit more pricy but the unlimited soup and bread always makes it worth it to go to Olive Garden! The restaurant seems different I liked the charm of the fake fruits and veggies around the restaurant. It looks like now there has been a renovation where it is more modern and minimalistic. It looks like the inside of a dining area of a hotel you will never go to again. Very generic but it is nice and clean but I do miss the old style charm.
