Comments: I have been to this olive garden a few times and i am yet to be disappointed. The food is always good and so is the wine. The wait to be seated time has been about 30 minutes every time I have been there and there is no good place to wait if it is cold or raining. The service is good a hardly experienced an empty cup. If i was going to recommend an item off the menu i would have to say go for the tour of Italy. It comes with lasagna, chicken parmesan, and fettuccine alfredo. Basically my three favorite Italian dishes all at once.

They have free samples, and the shrimp is very good. The restaurant offers good service and the way the restaurant is set up is really great. Olive garden always looks clean and the waitresses are always smiling.
