Great food, they did get our order wrong a bit, but our waiter had it fixed right away!
He was very nice and kept the drinks coming.
Food was really good and hot.
We went a day before Valentine’s Day and everyone was nice and on it.
Wasn’t overly busy and we got a table fast.

Olive Garden – A Major Comeback
Back at this location after a year, and what a turnaround.
We arrived around 1:30 PM to a packed restaurant—nearly every table was full. Despite the crowd, the wait was only about five minutes. Service was quick, professional, and friendly. Our server was informative and kept things moving smoothly.
We went with our usual: soup, salad, and breadsticks. The salad was fresh, loaded with tomatoes and black olives, and the signature dressing was as tasty as ever. The Zuppa Toscana was hearty and flavorful, with plenty of sausage and chunky potatoes.
For appetizers, we shared the shrimp fritto misto and the spinach-artichoke dip—both came out hot and full of flavor. These and past dishes pictured here.
This visit was a huge improvement from our last one, where the food and service missed the mark. This time, everything hit. We’ll gladly be back.

We called a week in advance to have a reservation for 13. I called the day before to double check that our reservation was still good and when we arrived the hostess said we have nothing under that name and it will be over an hour until we can seat a party that big. I asked her to check again and she said oh ya I have you but it will still be about an hour. I wish they would have told me over the phone that reservations are not a guarantee because then we would have gone somewhere else for my friends 30th. I would recommend going elsewhere if you plan to have a large party.

We sat at the bar tonight and had the best “new” bartender, Natalie! She was super friendly and sweet and very helpful. The food was delicious and you can’t beat a $12.99 build your own pasta!

This was truly a terrible dining experience. It’s sad and pathetic enough having to eat out alone. But the host took me name…then sat a couple other parties who arrived after me.
The host forgot my name, even though I was the only party of 1 waiting. He sat me under a spotlight in the bar section. The busboy came and got my water order, said the bartender was busy. Then I heard a manager maybe (?) and the bartender talking about me. Seemed they didn’t understand why she got sat again.
The same manager maybe (?) took my wine order and I said I needed a few minutes to look over the menu.
Then over half an hour passed by.
A dude who sat himself at the bar was helped before me so that’s a recurring theme. Someone came to take my order after I’d been sitting for 35 minutes, right before I was just going to get up and leave. She didn’t apologize for the wait. Then she forgot my order, like WHAT I ordered and had to come back. This was Saturday night mind you, but I was at the tail end of the dinner rush. It seemed like she’d expected the manager to take my order…I was confused. Couldn’t someone check the POS and see I hadn’t ordered? The entire time, all the surrounding tables were not bussed, leaving me to stare at dirty dishes. Including in a much cozier booth that would’ve made for nicer dining. Literally I was at one of two tables under a light you could do surgery under. And if someone had just bussed that table in about 20 seconds…alas…From sitting down to finishing my meal, I was alone and it took over an hour. Over. An. Hour. This was not a slammed OG.
Then when I asked for a to go box, she got one and then nobody ever came back. Nobody told me how to pay. Maybe I should’ve just left without paying. They didn’t want me there anyway. I’m just not sure why this place is open. So the receipt didn’t print either, after I used the table kiosk since nobody said otherwise….
The dude at the bar? He got ridiculously great service. I was an inconvenience.
I wanted to get dessert to go. Opted for gas station candy instead because I’ll be damned if they got another penny from me.
On my way out, two hosts working. Dude who forgot me? Sitting down scrolling on his phone. Neither said goodbye, so I said goodbye to them instead and shouted “I’ll have a great night, thank you!”
Not only this one, but no OG will ever get my money again. I’ve rarely felt less welcome, which was exacerbated by the fact I was dining alone. Was I supposed to ask for a manager? I never saw one unless you count the manager who never took my order. Could the hosts not stop scrolling TikTok for one minute to bus a table? From start to finish, it was crystal clear that this OG suffers from a seriously lacking culture of professionalism, courtesy, and guest service.
Oh—and if she WAS the manager? Learn how to discipline your staff, hold them accountable, or accept the consequences of the standards you deem acceptable.
My last meal on this trip to Indianapolis would’ve been better served at McDonald’s.

First of all, Indianapolis and the service industry as a whole from my experience is mid at best and that’s on the lower end, however, upon my wife and I arrival at this location at the East Washington location, we were super disappointed at every turn in this town. Our waitress ASHLUN presence was definitely refreshing and welcoming for my wife and I. Being from CHICAGO and getting spoiled to world class service, Nap is definitely lacking in the hospitality/service industry. ASHLUN greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcomed. She was definitely knowledgeable about the products from drinks to apps and entrees. She definitely a leader and even mentioned desert which I appreciated from my days of old when I was in sales, covered the entire menu for the benefit of the Corp, herself and ultimately the restaurant.. Good food but AWESOME SERVICE. THANKS ASHLUN and the entire Olive Garden staff. Best service out of any of the other establishments that we visited while in Indianapolis. Do better Nap, follow ASHLUN’s lead!

This is our second time ordering to go and the food is not good. First the soup, zuppa toscana was watery, weird. The entrees which was the Alfredo with fritta there was barely alredo sauce, or noodles, chicken was ok but the portions were off. How is alfredo and the soup the staple but they have no flavor. I thought our first time was a random but this is the 2nd time we have order and spent $55-60 bucks and it was nasty. So frustrating.

Called in two weeks early for a reservation of a large group then called the day before to verify that they had us down.
The day of the hostess lied multiple times about having no record of us till we pushed and she verified we called. Just because a wait staff member no showed does not excuse the blatant lieing to us.

I would give it a zero if it were possible. We were supposed to celebrate my wife’s 30th birthday with a dinner here and they “lost” our reservation that was made days in advance and then the front house staff, after they found our reservation, told us it would be an hour wait and that reservations don’t mean you get seated at the time you reserved. Insane.
