Olive Garden is always a nice place to eat at but it’s even nicer during the holidays. The garlic bread never disappoints and the chicken Alfredo is always my go to! Every server experience is different but this particular waitress named Desiree did such an outstanding job and took very good care of me and my family that I thought she deserved more than just a big tip but also a great review. She was very knowledgeable of the food & drinks menu and answered every single question that my mother-in-law threw at her. She was very attentive and on top of things even when it got busy for her because she had to multi-task and juggle different tables. One of her tables was actually being pretty rude and giving her a hard time all night but she handled it with such grace and patience. I don’t know how she did it but she managed to stay positive and smiling the whole time. It definitely didn’t affect her performance with the rest of her tables including us. She for sure deserves a raise or Christmas bonus after that.

We went here recently and I got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, always my favorite thing to get. We don’t have a chance to go out much since we have two babies, so it was nice spending the night together in such a clean and everyone was super friendly. Definitely worth the trip! Our waitress Desiree was very attentive and checked on us often, she really stood out and made the experience more enjoyable. She was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu, especially the deserts. You don’t get that too often anymore nowadays. It was a great experience overall! Thanks Desiree and Olive Garden!!

Our server was absolutely amazing! We loved our experience and will definitely be back!
The food was delicious as well. There were 4 of us and we all tried the special refillable pasta with mix and match pasta, sauce, and meat toppings. Lots of leftovers to take home! Well worth the price.
