★★★★★ 5.0 Jingyan Liu · Jan 2026

Because of the heavy snow, there was only one chef working, yet the food came out surprisingly fast. The chicken was served with black pepper mushroom sauce over mashed potatoes, topped with a layer of shredded cheese that made the whole dish feel warm and inviting. The chicken was incredibly tender—so soft it truly melted in my mouth. I enjoyed it in different combinations with cheese, sauce, and mashed potatoes before discovering the filling inside. The stuffing, made with dried potatoes, red peppers, plenty of pepper, and cheese, added rich layers of flavor and made the dish especially satisfying. Even reheated the next day, the chicken remained juicy and comforting. A hearty, well-executed dish that feels perfect for a cold, snowy day. P.s. Lauren is just sooooo sweet 🩷🩷

Desiree took care of my girlfriend & I. Her style of service is what every restaurant should strive for! Drinks were refilled when needed, food was brought out promptly and correctly & she checked on us ample times, her service is what made the experience! Atmosphere wasn't my favorite. But the food & service were much recommended!

This is firstly, one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to. When I went, it was an afternoon so it wasn't super busy. Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. My server was excellent. Overall, this is a great restaurant and I highly recommend!

We have been a lot of olive gardens but this one is special. The people are always great. We have had at least 10 different servers here and everyone they have been upbeat and extremely helpful. The food is always hot and if a special request was made, they are very accommodating. Great place and great people. I suspect it has a lot to the way it is managed. In short, thank you!

I went for Veteran's Day. The free meal i chose was Chicken Parmigiana with Spaghetti. The Chicken Parmigiana was so delicious and surprisingly juicy. The Spaghetti needed more seasoning. I ordered the bread without Garlic Butter to cut down on salt. It was hot and still tasty. The waiter, Cole W., was wonderful. Very attentive, even though it was a free meal. He was very friendly. I ordered the Chocolate Lasagna. Super chocolatedy without the extra chocolate icing. They had boxing on, which I didn't like much. Another customer requested the Dolphins game. Much better. Overall experience was fantastic. My cellphone battery died, so the pictured are of my leftovers. The Chicken Parmigiana is a big meal. Another visit... still delicious food and great customer service.
