    We were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday (and it was also his first time in Columbus). They did a wonderful job making us feel special and chef even added mushrooms and knions to his steak. Everything was just perfect! I had not been to Lindsey’s in a long time and so happy we chose it for a special dinner.

    Never disappointed dining at Lindey's. The patio is an inviting outdoor dining experience. The salmon entree was superb, with all the flavors coming together perfectly. There was one glitch in our service, but nothing that would keep us from returning.

    Arrived at 5 pm. Waited 30 minutes for water. Then waited 45 minutes for drinks. Steak was over cooked. Finally left at 7:30. 2-1/2 hrs for drinks, appetizer and entree! Very disappointing.

    Loved it! My spouse and I go out a lot but very rarely to fancier spots, so when we do we want it to be really special and Lindey's is just the place for that. We went for my birthday but now I'm finding any excuse to celebrate and return!

    Very much enjoyed my time with the Mrs. She was extremely happy and that is all that really mattered. I was a bit surprised that breakfast for 2 was $100 including our tip. Simple for me was a 2 egg breakfast, coffee and a mimosa (wife's desire) and the Mrs had a a wonderful Salmon Tartine, coffee and mimosa ... food taste and quality was spot on ... coffee - incredible, mimosa - very nice, atmosphere great ... I will definitely return. ONE THING - this establishment has a self imposed dress code. You can go in whatever level of embarrassment you wish, but 99% of the people there are dressed very nicely. Seeing women dresses and men in dress trousers and button down shirts is common. Two people there were not dressed for the atmosphere and seemed uncomfortable. LOVED IT!

    I try to go to Lindey's every time I'm in Columbus, and it's always been fabulous, for fifteen years or so worth of visits. Great food, excellent professional service, and reasonable fine-dining prices. (Note: I'm from Seattle, so "reasonable" may mean something different in Ohio.) I don't know when I'll be in Columbus again, but I look forward to Lindey's next time I visit.

    Lindy's is a must for me when I'm in CBUS. The food is always good and the ambiance is very nice. The only negative is the lack of parking in German Village. However, the valet service is very good.

    First time dining at Lindey's, surprised my fiancé for his birthday. The service was great, the food was amazing! I made a reservation ahead, and made a request for my fiancé, which they accommodated. When we got there, there was patio seating available so we sat outside. It was beautiful and was a great atmosphere. I will say where we were seated seemed to be in an extra windy position, but they can't really control that. Will definitely be back again. Valet was also very convenient!

    Have been going to Lindy’s since the early 80’s and have always enjoyed it, yesterday was good, but maybe not as good as in the past. The cost was a bigger surprise, it has always been a little spendy, but the prices seem to have taken a big jump, lunch for 4 was $300 bucks .
