Bella Vita Lakeside

We’ve always loved coming here! Whether it’s s Friday night or grandma’s birthday it’s always a nice getaway for the evening. We’ve had Nikki as our server on a few different occasions and request her any time that she is working.

Have been here many times before and had good experiences. We went on a friday night around nine and are drinks were served in plasic cups. When asked why the waitress told us there was no clean glasses, the restaurant was only half full. The outside atrium was dirty and full of spiderwebs in the corners. Not what you expect from a nice restaurant. No management to be seen in restaurant, just younger adults giving horrible service. We will not go back.

This is the second time I’ve been here. Both were not the best. The first time was several years ago so thought we would give them another shot. When we got there there was over an hour wait for the outside tables so we decided to hang out at the bar for a few drinks. No big deal we didn’t mind waiting. Jason the bartender was awesome prob the only positive to our evening. Within minutes we got our drinks but then received a txt that our table was ready. Weird… so we go to the hostess stand and it was not really very well organized. Finally they figured out where we were going and we got a table. Opened the menus and they were caked with food and grease from other people eating. Eew! After waiting for over 30 min and multiple people walking by I finally find someone to take our order. We order an app and another round of drinks. Calamari was actually ok. I ordered the chopped salad prob the worst salads I’ve ever had. How can you screw it up? Bland, soggy, iceberg lettuce that had been made 2 hours before. so bummed. My husband ordered chicken parm not the best either… Looked like fried chicken w canned tomatoes dumped on it. Gross. We prob won’t be back for dinner unless it’s just for drinks and apps. This seems like such an amazing opportunity with the location to have a great ambiance with good food in Fishers. We don’t have any other places like this to sit outside on the lake. So they def have that advantage. The place was packed since it was a great evening weather wise. They either didn’t know what good food tastes like or were all drunk. They def need to work on their service and the kitchen. I keep waiting for awesome food places around here and we can’t seem to get them. This place could be so much better!

Service again horrible. Seated out on patio had to go get my own silverware napkin. Ordered a glass of wine and soda for my husband. He’s gotten his second soda and the waitress has yet to bring my wine. They no longer include a house salad with dinner it’s an up charge to get one. Waitress brought his dinner and still didn’t realize she had forgotten my drink. This place is going so down hill.

Dude. One hour wait for food… plus when they brought apps they were cold and they served them with no utensils and no plates. Horrid service.

Wow! This place has picked it up substantially. From better food to better service to cleaner bathrooms. We went 3 times Mother’s Day weekend and had great food, great service, and great fun! I love the made to order omelet bar and the higher quality buffet! Everyone enjoyed their meal and the experience. We live on Geist and have already been more this summer than all year last year!
