    We really enjoyed celebrating my birthday here! Our party of 5 enjoyed the delicious appetizers and entrees, as well as a nice, varied wine and drink menu. Service from start to finish was exceptional! The bread is so yummy and nice with butter that wasn’t cold (so many restaurants mess up on that little thing). Desserts were absolutely awesome and it was especially nice that I was given a free dessert of my choice :) - the Post Mortem dessert was one of the best I’ve had! Thank you for such great service and really nice dinner out!

    We had a fabulous experience. Andrew was our waiter and he was superb. He had a great personality. We started with the ahi tuna and potstickers as appetizers. The ahi tuna was better then what we had at an upscale restaurant in Costa Rica. Next we had the lobster bisque which was rich and creamy. Our entrees were the pan seared halibut, the lobster shrimp risotto, the lamb chops and the tournedos of beef. All entrees were cooked to perfection. Crème Brulee and apple bread pudding both of which were stellar. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a fine dining experience in a sublime atmosphere.

    Felt a bit rushed. Food was good but not great and for some reason they love to add a mountain of potatoes to the dishes. I was surprised by the portion size, clearly quantity over quality.

    We were on the patio which is absolutely beautiful and quiet even though it was busy while we were there. The food and service is always top notch. Lisa was our server and she determined right away that the white napkins were going to make a mess of our black slacks and immediately brought us black napkins. Lisa is very friendly and professional. She provided great service. We’ve been Coming to Lindy’s for over 30 years. It’s the best.

    For almost 30 years I have dined at Lindey's and never been disappointed. Last evening was no exception! I took two of my friends who were celebrating their 81st birthday and we were able to find a table out on the patio. My guests (and I) were thrilled. The food: lamb chops, risotto, and angel hair pasta were superb. Add to all that, the chop salad with arugula, the wine, beer and cocktail was followed by desserts to die for / to live for!!! The incredible surprise for all of us was our server, Porter, who was patient as we decided what we were going to order, had a wonderful sense of humor, and regularly checked in with us to see how everything was going. My one regret is Lindey's only serves French Pressed coffee which I do not care for and missed having a cup of decaf with my dessert. Maybe I could bring a thermos of decaf coffee in my purse next time :)

    Food was amazing! Service was great. My daughter picked for her birthday because she thought it looked really cute and reminded her of a place she visited in NY. We sat on the patio which is beautiful with a small koi pond. She got a free dessert for her birthday. Will definitely be going back.
