    Cheese Ravioli

    Our serve Chloe was absolutely fantastic and attentive, she made the experience super fun and constantly kept bringing us more endless soup bowls. Fantastic service and great ambiance (:

    I'm truly impressed at this locations ambiance. We were totally amazed by the interior design of this location. Our server Mishelle was extraordinarily exceptional, she was efficient and accommodating with personality plus. The service was like being in a 5 star restaurant. We ordered Chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, Minestrone, Pasta e Fagioli , Chicken & Gnocchi Soup's. The food was served pipping hot with lots of flavor. Hats off to the Cooks.

    Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo

    Yet another Olive Garden, I can honestly say that Olive Garden has a strong hold on me! It's an all time favorite and you can never go wrong! I have been to this location before and it's always a great experience. It's directly off the freeway next to the capitols mall, so it's convenient location. The hostess instantly greeted me and seated us immediately! Our waitress was Alicia, she was nice and had a great sense of humor. She brought everything that we ordered out quickly! She was very attentive, got our drinks refilled with no questions asked. I ordered the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo it was good! Came out hot, it's NOT something that I would eat regularly cause it has a lot of calories and carbs, but today was one of those days for me where I wanted to indulge, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal - thank you

    Tiramisu. Creamy and delicious!

    Very first time going to Olive Garden. Went with two friends from work. It was actually really good! Mine was the grilled chicken Margherita with pesto, roasted tomatoes and garlic, lemon broccoli and the minestrone soup. And dang!!!! Those breadsticks were awesome with the salad We also shared Tiramisu, that was heaven! Not bad lol!

    spaghetti with Spaghetti & Meatballs (2) orders

    Small portions of spaghetti an meatballs. My wife picked up two orders of spaghetti with meatballs and a fettuccine alfredo to go. The spaghetti portions were very small and with very little sauce. It looked like the cook cooked one order and split it into two containers. The spaghetti barely covered the bottom of the containers and had maybe a single scoop of sauce on top. I haven't had this issue in the past, but for $21, I expect a decent portion of spaghetti, as cheap as it is to make...

    Chicken Alfredo

    Alberto was our server, he was amazing!! I came here with my two friends 4/14 and got the chicken Alfredo.. SO GOOD. Loved the music playing and the vibes. THANK YOU ALBERTO!!

    Well we go here because my kid loves it and yes we know it's all microwaved food the so called chef told me that all they to is reheat ok but like I said my kid loves it so we go, we went last week about 5 other families there the lady older who greeted us asked if it was ok we sat at the high table and chairs I said no we would like a booth then she sat us at a table every open booth was open don't know why we couldn't sit in one but it seemed like the only ones who were allowed to sit in them were caucasians this pissed me off but like I said my kid wants to eat here! So we ordered our water was very nice even other employees I assume the greater the Middle Aged white female with glasses was the manager on duty I ran out to get my sweatshirt as she sat us under the AC when I walked back in she gave me an eye roll rude felt like asking her do you discriminate because I have tattoos or because I'm native and Spanish!? But I kept my mouth shut as kids were around. I suggest you have a talk with her before I go on every platform to inform my town of her behavior I read the sign it's said Olive Garden not Trump racist supporter Garden her behavior is not professional at all as we we're leaving my co worker walked in with her family a was sat at a booth and treated and greeted with smiles not what we got!

Upon entering, an employee named Jason motioned for us to walk over, handed us an open iPad, and walked away without any explanation. As first-time visitors from out of town, we were unfamiliar with their ordering system. When I asked for assistance finding a specific dish listed on their website, he rudely told us they did not offer it. He then made a comment in Mandarin or Cantonese to a colleague, and both men looked at us. At that point, I returned the iPad and let him know we would not be ordering. As a mixed-race couple, with my husband being permanently disabled, we were left wondering if this unwelcoming behavior was motivated by discrimination or if it reflects the restaurant's typical customer service. Regardless, the interaction was extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful. Fortunately, we went to Yan Flower nearby instead, where we received kind, welcoming, and excellent service. Yes, the food was good too! Sometimes food isn't the most important thing you receive from a restaurant, don't get me wrong it is a strong motivator, but for me, service is everything.

The chicken in the coconut shoyu was overcooked while the brussel sprouts in the Kabocha were undercooked (nearly raw). We also had the Brussel sprouts in curry as an appetizer; it was delicious! The bowls in which the ramen are served are beautiful! That's the highlight for the atmosphere. Otherwise, the interior is relatively simple with a few tables and a row of chairs for people to wait for their to-go orders. The server was kind and kept our water glasses full.

They were chewy and undercooked!) There were a lot of customers there and, I believe only 3 workers: front of the restaurant woman who is your hostess, server, "bus boy", and cashier! Then there was the cook and someone in the back. The service was fine overall but Sapporo fell short on cleanliness and food handling safety. My kids and I were STARVING so we had to just look the other way throughout our dinner. You can tell they were working hard so we didn't want to make a fuss but omg... the woman brought our bowls with her THUMB in the bowls! I could see that it went into the soup one time so she moved her thumb (probably bec it was hot) and almost dropped the bowl on the table. Another time she held a piece of paper (I think it was the order) in her hand while also handling our food, so the paper went into 2 out of 4 of our bowls. She had to shake the piece of paper next to me to get the food to fall off. It was so shocking that it was almost funny. Almost. Sapporo is what I'd call a "hole in the wall" establishment like ones I had been to in big cities, and with those places, I think there is a bit of uncleanliness that you just have to expect as long as the food is good. Based on how packed Sapporo is, I think that's what others feel as well.

    Food: 5 stars. Service: 3 stars…read more The food was excellent and made the visit worthwhile. The staff, however, came across as a bit cold and unfriendly. I get that it's beach time and things move at a different pace, but being a little nicer to customers and visitors would make a big difference. Hopefully next time the service will be as good as the food. EDITED - Saturday, June 20, 2026 I'm updating my review after reading the owner's response. First, I want to clarify that the response appears to be a copy-and-paste message aimed at people leaving negative reviews. If you had actually read my original review, you would have noticed that I never complained about the food, the wait time, prices, staffing, or anything related to the quality of the business itself. In fact, I enjoyed the food and had no issue waiting. I visited on a Thursday, and the café wasn't packed. The owner was clearly working hard, and I respect that. However, when I walked in and said hello, I was completely ignored. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no sense that my business was appreciated. That was the only reason I left a 3-star review in the first place. The response talks about staffing shortages, minimum wage, food costs, and the challenges of running a small business. I understand all of that. Running a business is difficult. But those challenges don't really address the point I was making. A simple "Hi," "Welcome," or even a quick smile costs nothing and goes a long way. I also don't think customers should be made to feel responsible for business challenges such as labor costs or rent. Those are realities of ownership that every business owner has to navigate. That said, after thinking about it, I'm changing my review from 3 stars to 5 stars because the food was genuinely good, and I do support small businesses. My hope is simply that future customers are greeted with a little more warmth and appreciation when they walk through the door. One final thought: when someone leaves a critical review, it may be worth responding directly to their experience rather than posting a generic response. Sometimes there's valuable feedback hidden inside reviews that aren't really about the food at all. I wish you and your business success, and I genuinely hope you continue serving great food for years to come.

    We found this hidden gem by accident while walking. As we walked in, we were greeted by a very…read morefriendly gentleman. I ordered a latte with almond milk, and it was made to perfection--smooth, rich, and nicely strong. My husband had a mocha with almond milk, which he also really enjoyed.

We decided to take our coffee to go and sit by the beach, which is just one block away. We will definitely be back."
