    I forget our waitress’s name, my reservation was at 5:45 near the main dining area. She was great and paired my wine well with my dinner. Absolute gem, wish she could’ve joined us girls!

    Out of town guest was looking for a uniquely Columbus restaurant and we immediately landed on Lindsey’s. Food was excellent including yellow (the real, true color) key lime pie. Food was amazing and service was equally impressive. Highly recommend eating there.

    Phenomenal experience. Our server Hannah was an absolute gem. Likely to come back because of her service and friendliness alone. However, dinner and ambiance was excellent as well. Every dish/drink we got was perfectly prepared.

    Seems to be if you have a late lunch and they are getting ready for dinner service you are not attended to like you are during their busy times. We were one of the only ones in there and still it took forever to get our food even with children. We ordered bread for our children early on anr did not receive till the food got there. Drinks never refilled. No one came to check on food once it was delivered so had to go to the waiter stand to get salt myself. I appreciate Lindeys because of their consistency. Consistence good food and usually consistent good service. Not today sadly. Whats worse is I always bring out of town guests there and the service the last two times has been shotty.

    A shout out to our server Megan. Great service to go along with a most pleasant personality. Our meal was paced just right, with Megan checking on us occasionally but not too often. The before dinner cocktails were delivered promptly, and we were given time to enjoy them before rushing into our menu selections. The Brandy a La Poire was tasty with a nice balance between the brandy and pear taste. The Makers Manhattan served up was expertly prepared. We always enjoy the Potstickers and Lobster Bisque. They never disappoint. The Lamb and Filet entrees were prepared as we ordered (rare push and rare), and beautifully presented. The candle for our anniversary celebration was a nice touch, although we also enjoyed the new center table lights...very nice touch (everyone in the restaurant seemed to be playing with them, turning them on/off, learning that they also dim!). Thank you, Lindey's for the complimentary dessert (Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding) for our anniversary celebration. Scrumptious! All in all, another fine dining experience at Lindey's. We will be back, as usual, for our anniversary celebration next year (and probably several times before then). Thanks to all for a fun evening.
