I enjoy it, There has been only 1 meal I had eaten from here that I did not enjoy other then that the management needs to change and other then that all the other meals on the menu especially with seafood added to it is wonderful.

I eat at this Olive Garden many times, and I live over an hour away! Olive Garden in general is my favorite restaurant. I have been eating mainly at this Olive Garden since I was 10 years old, and now I am 22. The food is always delicious. It's a little pricy but worth the money. The staff is always extremely nice. There was one time that I tried a new dish, but it just wasn't up my alley; I was completely prepared to pay for it because I was the one who decided to try the dish, but when I got the bill, they didn't make me pay for it. I pointed it out to the waiter, and he simply responded with, "We aren't going to make you pay for food you didn't enjoy." It was extremely nice of him. The only thing I would say is negative about this restaurant is the fact that there isn't much seating while you are waiting to be seated. It makes for a crowd during the lunch/dinner time rush. Also, the temperature always seems to be on the cool side, so make sure to bring a jacket. One more thing that they should do is make fresh breadsticks regularly. My roommate and I went there once around 3:00 P.M. and you could definitely tell that the breadsticks were old because they were hard and stale. The positives of this restaurant definitely outweigh the negatives. This is a great place to eat with your family and/or friends.
