Best vegetarian restaurants in Indianapolis: find options near you

We love a good burger restaurant and this came highly recommended. We stopped here while passing through and throughly enjoyed our lunch. We ordered too much food but we knew that. We had the chicken strips, hamburger with loaded fries and pulled pork nachos.
We’re not big chicken strips fans but these were the best we’ve ever had by far. Tender, juicy and lots of flavor. The hamburger was very good and perfectly cooked , which we rarely find. The loaded fries were good but I’d get them plain if I had to do it over. Last was the nachos. They were huge and loaded with toppings and were very good.
It’s a great restaurant and we wish we lived closer. The service was quick and the wait staff very friendly.

Needed a quick but satisfying bite; hotel recommended BRU burger. Here’s my take:

Overall not bad. The flavours of the burger and the fries made for an enjoyable meal.

The burger: I don’t typically like anything more than a simple burger, but the flavours of the Stilton blue cheese burger actually worked quite well. But the burger at the end of the day is about the patty. Good: It was not overly or densely packed, was light and and juicy enough. Not so good: this type of burger could have benefited from a more substantial patty with more of a house made feel, rather than very uniform looking “manufactured” feel. Also, if you ask customers how they like their burgers cooked, please cook it that way or don’t ask. Mine was more well done than medium.

Sides: tried the slaw, chilli and fries. The fries may have been the best bite. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside.

Service was excellent..

Out with my husband and daughter….I ordered the hot chicken sandwich with onion rings, my daughter ordered chicken tenders with fries, and my husband ordered the bacon burger with fries. I also had a margarita. I enjoyed the burger, I thought the chicken sandwich was okay, the fries were very good and the onions would have been excellent but mine were soggy. We were able to sit outside and it was beautiful. Overall, I would go back.

Was in the area, and looked up gluten free options, and this place came up. When I walked in, I was able to sit at the bar (which had a ton of seats) and immediately got served by Leah, the amazing bartender working today. They had a ton of different burger options and had gluten free buns available, which can be hard to come by. The burger was made to order, and the one I got had an interesting flavor. It had a basil aoli, mushrooms, onions, and goat cheese (of all things). The bourbon based drink is ordered was tastefully made, and overall I enjoyed my experience. All of the staff were nice and attentive; you could tell that they all worked well together.

Leah was, as always, exceptional. I visit this location once a year, and she has been a consistent and welcoming presence each time. I typically order the Chipotle BBQ Nachos, which have always been a highlight of my visit. However, on this occasion, the experience fell short. It appears the BBQ sauce has been changed, and unfortunately, the new version is mediocre at best.

Why alter a signature item that was so well-loved? If the change was made to cut costs, I urge you to reconsider. Loyal guests appreciate consistency and quality — please listen to our feedback. Bring back the original BBQ sauce.

I learned that I substitute Turkey for any of the burgers. Even though they only had one turkey burger named. That was pretty cool since I don’t eat beef. The fries were quite tasty and I love their homemade ketchup. Our waitress was attentive and quite nice.

We got the garlic three cheese burger with lettuce and tomato added with a side of fries. This was an amazing burger, juicy and plenty of flavor. The fries were actually really well done steak fries for a sit down location.

To boogie

So I’ve been to numerous locations around the country and they always provide good service a good meal and nice cold beers. We were there with a large group. The servers did a great job and tried to be attentive to everybody overall, I would go back again.

From the moment I walked in, the experience at Yard House was top-notch. I was warmly greeted by Blessing, who lived up to their name and set a positive tone for the visit. Though there was a 30-minute wait, it was absolutely worth it.

My server, Angelique, was phenomenal. Even with the restaurant packed wall to wall, she made me feel like I was the only patron in the building. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and kindness were above and beyond.

I ordered the Maui Chicken, and it was incredible. The flavors were so rich and satisfying that I didn’t want to distract from the experience with any beverage besides water—just to truly savor every bite (see pic).

All around, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Kudos to the entire Yard House team, and a special thank you to Angelique and Blessing for making it memorable.

Yard House offers excellent and efficient service, ensuring you are seated promptly even during peak hours. It is conveniently located near the Indiana Convention Center, making it easy to visit, even during events. I highly recommend trying the chicken avocado sandwich, which was an incredible suggestion from my waitress. It was a standout dish, featuring a well-balanced combination of flavors and outstanding chicken preparation. Truly remarkable!

The Yard house has a good selection of different foods. Healthy salmon/fish/seafood or salad options and delicious burgers and appetizers. The espresso martinis are quite good and the beer selection is great. We think this is a great option downtown Indy. Their happy hour during the week offers great deals!

Food was excellent and happy hour apps were great as well. We walked in during finals Pacer games day and only waited around 15 mins. Our server was hospitable and a table tablet help speed things along. Atmosphere overall was good, but not a place to have a conversation.

On Easter Sunday we had the great opportunity and pleasure to have lunch at the Yard House, Everything was perfect . We would like to thank the entire staff for a wonderful lunch, the hospitality that we experienced was absolutely fabulous. Our server Chrissy was fantastic and Amy Robertson showed us incredible hospitality.

Thank you to the entire staff

My co-worker had told me about this place over a year ago but I never got a chance to check them out until the end of May 2025. This visit was more so inspired after eating at a restaurant by the same name in Dubai earlier in the month. I wanted to compare my experience of the atmosphere, service and of course, the food.
I must say, I was very impressed.
On the day I went, I first sat outside but a small drizzle quickly guided me to dine indoors instead.
I ordered their sampler platter and with that, I had a variety of flavorful Turkish deliciousness.
I had plenty, plenty of left overs from my sample platter….one person can only eat so much.
Overall, I have to say Indianapolis as a city, is blessed to have this flavorful gem for its residents and visitors to us experience Turkish cuisine without getting on a plane.

This place is awesome! I had never tried Turkish food before and I totally loved it. We got the appetizer combo for two and the Adana kebab — it was perfect to share with my partner. The service was great, the vibe was super nice, and the food tasted fresh and super satisfying. Definitely recommend checking it out!

The owner or the manager is really friendly and hospitable. Service is quick and friendly. They have few vegetarian options, I really enjoyed my meal.

Decor is fantastic, quirky, colorful and fun. Even though the walls are full of things, they’re hung so well that it’s not distasteful.

An absolute delight. Everything tastes bright and fresh. Perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend!!

Dolmas
Eggplant Salsa
Pita bread
Rice
Beef Mediterranean
Lamp Chops
Regular and Turkish coffee

You cannot choose incorrectly and the service is highly attentive.

Food was absolutely delicious! We got the wraps and the lamb plate! Everything was fresh and delicious. We got the pleasure of speaking to the owner as well and he was so sweet and personable. We carried out our order but wish we could’ve sat down in the restaurant! The decorations clearly told a story and the place was so warm. Highly highly recommend!

The restaurant decors are beautiful and shows the cultural arts. The food are delicious. Our server Ronnie was delightful and on point with his recommendations. Ronnie was pleasant and attentive.

Delicious food. We did take out. The location doesn’t have ample parking. However it’s a cute cafe set up. Twe ordered the eggplant dish and adana kababa. The kababa was dry but flavorful. We feel the veggies could’ve been grilled more to make them softer. The side of rice was simple yet delicious. Would go back and try other dishes if we are in the area.

Enjoyed a lovely evening celebrating my birthday! Jill, our waitress, was extremely kind and helpful regarding the menu. She made sure that our drinks were refilled and if we had any questions when it came to the menu. I even allowed her to pick out my birthday drink. She was just phenomenal. It was our first time at Seasons 52 and we definitely will be back. My 14-year-old son loved the pork chop that came with purple cabbage. The manager came by and saw that my son had ordered the pork chop and he said that it is the best thing on the menu, and he was absolutely right. My daughter normally complains about certain things that come on the kids menu, french fries, chicken tenders, but at Seasons 52 they give you healthier options, which we absolutely loved. My daughter got the pasta and added shrimp. The salmon was delicious, also the half chicken that my husband ordered. Thank you for the good food and the excellent service. We will definitely be back in the next couple of weeks. I hope everyone has a great experience like we did at Seasons 52.

Highly recommend for the birthday celebration. If you make a reservation for your birthday, all staffs knows and treats you special. The food, specially lamb and stuff mushroom were exceptional and good portion.

Tried their salmon salad; it was good. The shrimp skewer was very meh. Beer was cold and served in a cold glass, very important. The server was nice and attentive. Parking is easy, plenty of space in Indy to park at no charge!! Highly recommend if you’re staying in fishers and don’t feel like driving too far from where you stay.

Dining at Seasons 52 was a lovely experience. I came here with my husband for my birthday, because of the restaurant’s awareness and ability to accommodate certain dietary restrictions (gluten intolerance in my case). There are dedicated menus for dietary preferences, with a good amount of variety unlike many places. Service was exceptional, the food was cooked to perfection, and the drinks were delightful. Definitely will be dining here again in the future!

We arrived slightly early for our 7pm reservation. They had our table (on a busy Saturday night) ready and on time. That I find is a rarity these days. The server was very jovial but not overbearing. Very attentive and knowledgeable. My one prior experience here was the same with another server. They obviously train their staff and have class and elegance in mind.

The menu was their Spring menu. My fiancé explained the “Seasons” of the changing menu and I think it’s a delightful idea. I had perused the Winter menu prior. I found myself drawn to a repeat performance of the SeaBass. I’ve had many servings of various fish from coast to coast, and salt water to fresh. That is the most succulent and delicious fish I have ever encountered. Bravo. My fiancé had planned salmon that was delicious and delightful as well. I had a cherry Old Fashioned that was a special being offered and it was delightful as well. One complaint and one only!
They have wonderful dessert offerings, but please for the love of us fat kids, don’t serve desserts in tiny shot glass portions. It’s almost cruel. Looking at and actually having bought one (believing the little shot glass display was for demonstions only ) Left me feeling unsatisfied on the sweet retreat from SeaBass Heaven.

Cost was not inexpensive but having the best fish I’ve tasted was certainly worth the price alone. The rest makes up for it.

The restaurant itself is well appointed. It is noisy, it seems most places are a subway station these days when it comes to dining conversations and volume control. The waitstaff does lean in to help clarify things over the din of customer chatter. It works.

5 stars and I’d make it 6 with bigger desserts

I always have a great time coming to one of my favorite restaurants, Seasons 52. They have seasonal menus, but their lamb is delicious. Service has always been top notch, so call in reserve a time and enjoy!

-Pros
Great quality of food
Great service
Great environment
Portion sizes are on the healthy side

-Cons
None

Again, I may be biased because this is one of my favorite places, but it’s good every time!

First soda water had something floating in it, sent it back second one came in a dirty glass as you can see in the picture. Cod was over cooked, tuna was average.

I’m Asian and this was my first time having breakfast here. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very impressive, including the service of the waiters and the food that I had never ordered or eaten was very delicious. I hope I will go back here again soon.

This was my first time at Good Morning Mama’s, and it did not disappoint. It took the server a while to take our orders, but it was a busy morning. Our food was hot in everyone enjoyed their meal. We appreciated the cinnamon butter on top of our french toast, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the turkey sausage patties. We’ll definitely be back. I highly recommend this hidden gem!

Great brunch place! Order the Reuben but ask for the horseradish cream instead and definitely get the fries as a side. Service was great! Same “Mama” owner as Mama Carolla’s next to it.

Very colorful restaurant which feels unlike most breakfast places in Indy. They have a unique menu that makes them stand out from others. Food was delicious. Recommend B&G. They were very busy on Saturday when we went but only waited 15 for a table of 3.

Took my little brother here for his birthday breakfast. We arrived around 10:50 on a Saturday and were seated at 11:15 and ate around 11:30. The hostess offered us coffee while we waited which was very nice.

The food was good! It was like a mix of southern and southwestern. I got the “Mama’s” plate and the cheesy grits had a southwestern seasoning that was delicious. The pork sausage patties were good, not greasy at all, and the eggs were not too wet or too dry. I would love to come back during the week.

The staff was very friendly, and our order was placed and received quickly. However, if you visit during busy hours, be prepared to sit quite close to other parties around you. It’s also important to note that they will not seat you until your entire party has arrived. While my eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, the gravy was lacking in flavor, and I found myself adding a good amount of pepper to it. On the other hand, my friend really enjoyed her chocolate chip pancakes, and the hash browns were tasty. I might consider coming back in the future to try a different dish.

Awesome food! The ambiance was great. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were honestly the best I’ve had in a long time. One concern I have is the interactions with the staff. I don’t know if it was a tough day or what, but they were very serious, direct and not much for small talk. But I’ll try them again and hope for a better result in that area.

Very cool vibe in this place! We sat on the bar side and it was just a really great atmosphere and beautiful setting. Cocktails were unique and very tasty and our food was outstanding! We would definitely go back when we’re in the area.

Food was tasty and filling. Amish chicken was a bit salty for my personal taste but it was the right amount of food. Bread pudding was excellent and sweet. Bread appetizer was the right amount to share. Bar was clean and music was at a good hearing level. Staff was slow for it not being busy and everything took longer than expected

The bar tender is great, Cam! He helped me find my new love for Malbec made in France! He’s very knowledgeable about the food and wine! One of the best bar tenders in Indy!

I’ve been coming to Mass Ave for years, but this was my first time actually stopping into Mesh. I ordered the steak salad, and it was delicious. I think I visited during some off hours, as we were basically the only patrons inside, but l’ve seen this place packed before, so keep in mind it can get busy.
The bartender was very attentive, making sure we got exactly what we each wanted, and the atmosphere was clean. Prices are typical for Mass Ave, and while I didn’t notice a happy hour on the menu, that would definitely make it even better!

Great Food, Slightly Rushed Service Experience

My boyfriend and I came here for a Sunday date night around 7:45 PM, not realizing the restaurant closes at 9 PM (totally our oversight—I work in the service industry myself, so I understand how that can feel for the staff). That said, the service experience left us feeling a bit rushed.

Our server, who was also the bartender, noticeably pulled out her phone to check the time right in front of us while we were deciding whether to wait on ordering dinner until after our appetizer. It felt a little passive-aggressive and gave the impression that we were being timed, even though it was only around 8 PM and we had more than enough time to enjoy a meal before closing.

To add to that, she asked us which appetizer we wanted—even though we had already placed that order about 20 minutes earlier. I understand that mistakes happen, and while I didn’t mind the mix-up too much, it did add time to our visit and contributed to a sense of disorganization. Overall, she wasn’t rude, but the phone-checking and general vibe gave off a subtle feeling of being unwelcome as closing time approached. I just believe every guest should receive consistent service, regardless of how close it is to the end of the shift—especially when they’re spending good money on a full meal.

We also both ordered one cocktail each. I can’t remember the name of his drink, and the physical menu didn’t match what’s listed online, but it was just okay—nothing bad, just not memorable. My drink, however, was a standout. I asked the bartender to surprise me with a fruity mezcal cocktail, and she absolutely nailed it. It wasn’t overly smoky or sweet—just really well-balanced and genuinely enjoyable.

We were also told about their half-priced bottles of wine, which was a great surprise! We decided to take one home, and that really added to the overall value of the evening.

Now onto the highlight: the food was phenomenal. We both ordered the 6oz filet mignon—mine with the Roasted Mushroom & Red Wine Demi, his with the Lobster & Sherry Cream. Both were absolutely delicious. I picked out a wine to pair with the meal myself, though I do wish the server had offered a recommendation or tried to upsell a pairing. That little touch of engagement would have made the experience feel more elevated.

We also ordered the Charred Broccoli as a side, and the whipped cheddar fondue it came with was to die for. They did plate it a bit too generously on a small dish, so it was nearly spilling over, but the flavor more than made up for it. I ended up putting some of the fondue on my mashed potatoes—and honestly, I could have cried, it was so good.

All in all, we spent a good amount of money and were really happy with the quality of the food and drinks. That’s why it was disappointing to feel rushed—when you’re investing in a full dining experience, the level of service should reflect that from start to finish.

Still, I will definitely be back—just a little earlier next time to avoid the end-of-night pressure!

I was a first-timer at this private dining restaurant and it was the perfect venue for the event I hosted. Sara Myers was our coordinator and she was nothing short of exceptional—friendly, helpful, and the best at what she does. She answered every question and accommodated every request within the guidelines, all while keeping things light and humorous.

The servers were phenomenal, adding to the overall excellence of the experience with their attentive and professional service.

While Sara and the servers were outstanding, and I respected the dining rules, Mesh could consider adding a fourth entree option to their selection. Additionally, managing payments was a bit cumbersome with a single check system; introducing individual tabs for drink orders could streamline the process.

The food was excellent overall. The bacon scored a perfect 10/10. I chose the chicken and waffles; the chicken was tasty, though the waffle was a bit dry. The fruit was fresh and the cocktails were fantastic. I highly recommend Mesh and am grateful for such a wonderful space to host my event. Thank you!

Our server Cameron was incredible! He was so fun and also gave great service! Highly recommend coming here for brunch, the biscuits and gravy were so yum!

This was our third visit, and once again, the experience didn’t disappoint. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between fun and relaxed, making it great for a night out. The food was consistently delicious, and everything ran smoothly. It’s clear they care about the customer experience. We’re already planning our next visit—can’t wait to go back!

Overall average and not really special, despite everyone raving about about this spot. Soggy gnocchi, wings were SUPER salty. All 3 dishes weren’t as nuanced as I expected despite the restaurant being positioned as chef driven – flavor seemed to be flat all throughout with just a little sweetness and saltiness to everything. Service was also sloppy, my table was wet from spilled water when I first sat down?

Sehr gutes Essen. Die Portionen sind nicht besonders gross, das hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Die Qualität der Zutaten war gut und die Gerichte wurden schön angerichtet präsentiert.
Die Bedienung war höflich und professionell und die Feuerschalen im Außenbereich tragen zu einem gemütlichen Ambiente bei.
Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

Went there for my birthday and had a great time! Food was great as always! Love the atmosphere of the place, the decor and the bar are everything. I had the duck and it was delicious, had also the caprese salad…

Ok, time to review. Service is bad for this high quality food and the experience this place provides. Please work on service. Next comment. Clams are cooked perfectly! Actually really well. Feedback to the chef from a self proclaimed chef. I like acidity in my cuisine. Acidity is good. But sir/ma’am my feedback is you are probably pushing it a bit far with acidity. The lamb and the clams are amazing but both feels too acidity for me. If you take a notch down maybe that would be great but that’s just a feedback. Lamb cooked perfectly so are the clams. Crab cake was amazing and so as the lamb meatballs. But again too much acidity. IMO. Please let the natural flavors come out. You can get acidity through mild stuff like lime. If you want to chat please email me. Great food great ambiance, low to mediocre service. This is my feedback.

Ok so, the place turned things around for us. They brought out a platter of dessert for us. Really impressed. Thanks Union 50! Keep up the great work. Changing service from mediocre to good!

I sat on the patio and ate the swordfish and chocolate terrine. The fish had the perfect crispy exterior and laid on a delicate pile of flavorful veggies and rice. The chocolate cake with blackberry ice cream was devine. The cake was rich and creamy. I wish it was slightly smaller and more ice cream, but it would be perfect to share. My server was great and let me know about the CRG rewards card. The entrance is around the right side of the patio. Just follow the brick road 🙂

Celebrated my cousin’s 40th! Served very knowledgeable on the drink menu and specials. Our drinks and apps were out quickly and delicious! Chefs pick charcuterie was perfect for 6 people! The goat cheese peppadew peppers!! Wow… Fantastic!!! All of our meals were perfect, duck, half chicken, salmon and shrimp pasta. Lots of large seating available and a really cool atmosphere!

Have much nostalgia going to Tinker Street back in 2017 on a date (with my now spouse) – that when we ended up visiting Indy to walk down memory lane we just had to try it again. Did not disappoint – even after 8 years this restaurant is a testament to consistency and quality. Started with the summer salad which was fresh and delicious. Got the Salt of the Earth cocktail to pair -super interesting and deceptively strong. Got the crab scampi and black cod as mains. Scampi was delicious, and the cod was truly special-most tender and buttery fish I have ever had – the texture is just on another level. For dessert, our waitress recommended the Pavlova, which was absolutely the right call – just a beautiful fruity palate cleanser; which I subsequently washed down with an equally phenomenal espresso martini. Long live Tinker Street – would love to come yet again whenever we get a chance to do Indy again.

4-Star Review for Tinker Street

Tinker Street nails it with exceptional service and solid food in a cozy, intimate setting. The restaurant is definitely on the smaller side—think charming, not cramped (unless you’re claustrophobic, then… maybe charming and cramped).

The food? Good. Not “write home to grandma” good, but definitely “text your foodie friend” good. Creative flavors, nice presentation, and portions that won’t leave you hangry.

Now, let’s talk about the unsung hero of the night: the Water Guy. I don’t know his name, but this man treats hydration like a calling. I swear I never saw the bottom of my glass. He refilled it like he was defusing a bomb—calm, precise, and absolutely not here for your thirst. Give that man a raise. Or a cape.

Only odd thing? The bathrooms are just a few steps from the kitchen. Not a huge deal, but it’s a little weird when your path to the restroom feels like you might accidentally be mistaken for a sous-chef.

Overall, a great experience. Come for the food, stay for the water.

To mh fellow peeps! Listen if you’re looking for a great day place to have a great dinner then go to Tinker Street! A beautiful atmosphere with welcoming staff and super service.

This was my first time eating at the Tinker Street and I will say that I will be back again.

Again service was impeccable and the food was beyond delicious!!! To JOURDAN IVORY AND NICK I thank you for a great dinner. I will be back. Respectfully always, Dr. Carmela Daniels

Had a business trip in Indy back in January and Tinker Street came highly recommended by a colleague and I’m glad they did! Great spot, excellent staff and the owner is on TOP of it. I could’ve chatted with him well past closing. I had their last stuffed Quail and it was an 11 out of 10.

Fantastic restaurant. All dishes are extremely high quality with a rotating menu. Cocktail offerings are also top notch. Book ahead because they are always busy, for good reason. Perfect for a special occasion or date night.

Such a great and unique menu and restaurant. Everything our group had was absolutely phenomenal and truly so much depth to the taste of the food. PLEASE do yourself a favor and make sure you get the ricotta doughnuts for dessert! To die for !!!

Great restaurant close to downtown. The service is great and the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and wine. They always have a vegan and gluten free entree.

When you first sit down you get a small glass of champagne which is a nice touch.

On our last visit we got the smoked carrots and they were shockingly good. The carrot soup was excellent and then for entrees I got long trumpet mushrooms and my wife got the Sacchetoni en Brodo. She said hers was good.

The peanut parfait is amazing and a must get to finish the meal.

It is on the pricier side but it is with it in my opinion.

Hey y’all need to check this place out.

Every time I come here the vibe is great. Definitely a safe space.

The food has always been so good and FRESH. I have never had a bad meal or experience here.

Their juices are great too. I had the detox dream. Super yummy.

The noise level can be a bit much here. Not do to music being too loud, but rather those around you enjoying conversation with those they love and care about. All good things, just beware and prepared.

Thank you to garden table to creating a safe space, hiring caring staff, and being a great local spot!

Located on the bustling Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis lunch here is a must have, they are open mainly for Brunches and Lunches, i like such concept based restaurants which gives great room of flexibility for the chefs and the staff to focus on their specialties.

Service was quick and all the staff was attentive right from getting to our tables to getting our orders in, we started delving in our conversations and didnt have to wait long for the delicious food, they said they were put of hoosier heater and Tropic tonic, perhaps i have to come again just for the juices .

Loved the vibe and how people were enjoying eating outdoors which is lively and lovely when the suns out. Would definitely recommend and come back here.

Walked over with my honey to enjoy brunch on a cloudy Friday morning in Indy. Got seated right away (lots more folks came in around 11:30 and had to wait), friendly, efficient and knowledgeable waitstaff. Our food was served quickly and we were completely satisfied. Coffee kept comin’, enjoyed my mimosa. Really nice atmosphere inside. Loving the Midwest vibes, if we’re back in Indy, would definitely come back.

It was decent… I understand the cost of better quality ingredients, but I had better taste the difference. I’m not sure that I did.

My dad Didn’t really like his BLT sandwich and they didn’t offer to switch it out or anything. No remedy…just too bad, too sad. For that price, there ought to be some customer satisfaction.

I probably won’t go back.

The cold-pressed juice is so good here, I highly recommend the Emerald Elixir. I’ve been here a handful of times, sometimes the service is robotic and unpersonable, but always friendly. Today, our server, Sandy, was wonderful. So sweet and patient, and had killer recommendations.
Favorites have been the smoked salmon hash, Garden Benedict, and the Mediterranean salad.

visited for brunch while in indy for the nba finals. sat outside on the patio. service was amazing. some of the best brunch i’ve ever had.

started with the juice flight. we tried the neon nectar, hoosier heater, and lush love. they all tasted refreshing and were fresh.

for entrees we ordered the steak burrito, the croissant french toast, and ruben’s omelette.

all 3 entrees were 10/10. the burrito was a great portion, the steak was so fresh, the queso was bomb, and the breakfast potatoes were fried perfectly. the croissant french to eat was top 3 french toast i’ve had in my life. it was flaky, but still rich, and the custard/chantilly cream cheese, and strawberry combo was to die for.

unfortunately, i live in oklahoma, but if i ever in indy again, i will be 1000% returning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I wanted to share my recent experience at Garden Table Mass Ave with you. I brought six friends for lunch at noon today, and we had made reservations in advance. When we arrived, the hostess warmly welcomed us and seated us immediately, even though we were 15 minutes early.

Several of my friends had never been to Garden Table before, and I had been raving about how great it was. Our waitress was attentive, patient, and checked on us several times. The restaurant was not very busy, and many tables were unoccupied.

At the end of our meal, which totaled over $200, I asked Mallory, one of the waitresses, if she could take a quick picture for us. She was not waiting on a table or with customers but was standing off to the side, typing on her credit card reader. Since it wasn’t busy, I figured it was a reasonable request. To my surprise, she responded, “Um, not right now, maybe you can just go ask someone else like a hostess or something.” She said this in front of my entire party and another table that we knew. I was so taken aback that I didn’t say anything in return.

One of our group members walked towards the hostess stand to ask if she could take a picture of us, and the hostess kindly agreed. As I began to walk towards the door, I noticed a bar in the middle of the restaurant with what seemed like a walkway through to the front door. As I started to walk through, a long dark-haired waitress with an emerald green top and jean shorts said, “Don’t walk through here, don’t walk through the bar, don’t walk through here.” She never stopped washing the glass to make eye contact with me, so I didn’t realize she was talking to me at first. Once I did, I immediately turned around and walked around the bar. It was confusing, and I made an honest mistake, thinking it was a walkway. To me, behind the bar is where I could grab bottles of alcohol and start scooping ice.

While the food was amazing as usual, the seven of us will never return. Customer service is so easy and free—just be nice. It’s pretty simple. We were not rude at any point, even after being snubbed by one waitress and scolded by another.
