one of my friends gave his birthjday treat to us at teh Olive Garden. The ambience is great and the waitresses are very polite n nice. The only prob is that there isn't much variety for vegetarians there.

Service

Review: Bad:
I ordered a basic meal of Pasta, and meat balls.
The salad was wilted:
The dressing was oily to the point of a heart attack.
I am a polite person
and i overlook certain things , because i know how hard the people work
The woman that served me was a very polite and "tired" woman.
I and my friends , were very dissapointed in the quality of our meals!
The Resturant was very busy, and too busy to refill our basic needs of cola and wine.
Pros: none, 4 times no refill, I Had to walk alot
Cons: get real, bad food. no cheese., no one was helping me

Bland boring food
by zionsville2
There are much better choices in Indianapolis for Authentic Italian Food than a chain restaurant. Try Ambrosia's in Broadripple or if you HAVE to try a chain restaurant then try Macaroni Grill or Bravo Italian Kitchen. They are MUCH better than Olive Garden.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Boring Food, Loud, Run of the mill

Its bulk Ameritalian

What can I say. Its the Olive Garden. Decent, but generally crowded and noisy like a high-density feed lot. Take your kids.
Pros: cheap
Cons: Almost fast food
