Cafe Verbena - Asheville

Megan was our server and she was fantastic! Very attentive and the food was delicious. Thank you for an enjoyable meal prior to our visit to the Biltmore Candlelight Christmas.

Olive Garden always seems to have a waiting list for tables but there's plenty of seating in the lobby. We waited 15 minutes, typical for Covid era everywhere. Staff was friendly and served us quickly once seated. Menu has been abbreviated (due to Covid presumably) but we found good options snd had a nice dinner.

We were seated in the bar. I asked to be seated in the restaurant but was told that the servers only worked three tables. The next people seated went into the restaurant. Server completely mis-understood our order and we did not get what we wanted. Other Olive Gardens are usually much better than that. We were disappointed.

We visited for dinner. The food was very good and our server was very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our meal very much.

Everytime I visit this Olive Garden, I am never disappointed. My granddaughter and I eat here about once a month because it is her favorite. The wait staff is exceptional and the food is excellent. We eat at other Olive Gardens in Spartanburg and Myrtle Beach, but Asheville has the friendliest waitstaff.
