I absolutly love Olive Garden! Their breadsticks and salad are amazzzing. The food can be a little pricey... but they are well worth it. I woild recommend trying their lasagna... as well a their many decadent wines.

When I arrived there was a long wait to be seated. I was told by the hostess that I would be seated at the next table available in the counter area rather than having to wait for a table, but while waiting I observed another group arrive after me that was given a seat in that area. When I was seated I was disappointed that the on-line menu for this location did not match their actual menu, and the item that I had come in for was not available.
Pros: Nice atmosphere once you are seated.
Cons: Expect a long wait and crowded parking; do not trust the on-line menu, it is not accurate.
