Customer Reviews
My order was a delivery. The food was warm and delivered quickly. The entrees were good. My major complaint was the three salads. It was almost ALL very pale looking iceberg lettuce. Very few carrot shreds, a single black olive, two slices of tomato. It was not very appetizing. I added lots of my own spinach, carrots, cherry tomato and other items so I could eat it.
We went to this restaurant to celebrate my son's 19th birthday and it was so amazing, everyone here was so kind and personable. I LOVED the service and the food, I mean what can I say? The chefs here are doing a phenomenal job! Thank you Natalie for all of the amazing service and to the front desk lady who found my phone thank you so much!! We will be back!
Food was standard Darden fare and the restaurant was nice and clean. HOWEVER, what kept this from being another "meh" OG dinner was our server, Lexie. Lexie was amazing! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and kept my usually withdrawn preteen son entertained throughout our entire visit. The rest of the closing shift was also great. The hostess was super welcoming, even though we rolled in at 9:45 (closed at 11), the food came out swiftly and was what I expected, and the bartender, had I ordered a drink, probably would have made a solid amaretto sour. But Lexie was the real star of our dinner experience, turning what I would normally consider a 3.5 star experience into a 5. Thanks, Lexie, for your service!
There were four of us, and we shared a booth in the back. I went here with family, and we all had meals from the "create your own pasta" area of the menu, and it was delicious. I personally had the angel hair pasta with the cheesy marinara sauce and sauteed shrimp. It was very good, but I tried some of the creamy mushroom sauce off of another plate, and I will be getting that next time! 😋
We had a pick up order that was not quite right. I called and explained the issue and the manager went above and beyond to correct it. The food was great as always and we were extremely appreciative of the service we received. Thank you!
