OXFORD, Al.
A Kiwanis Club member who says the group wasn't allowed to bring an American flag into an Olive Garden restaurant expects to get a personal apology from a top executive with the company.
Marti Warren said that the company vice president contacted her Wednesday and will be coming to the east Alabama town of Oxford to personally apologize to members of the Golden K Kiwanis Club.
Officials with Olive Garden parent firm Darden restaurants of Orlando said in a statement that they're sorry if the decision regarding the flag caused any concern.
Controversy arose after 80-year-old Warren said she wasn't allowed to bring an American flag into an Oxford Olive Garden for a planned Kiwanis Club banquet.
Darden said the company respects the flag and everything it symbolizes.
