    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.

    First off I have to talk about that beautiful patio! It's the most gorgeous place to eat in Columbus, blooming flowers lush greenery everywhere! J love that the tables aren't so close together that you can still have a semi private dining experience. The calamari and shrimp appetizer was delicious. Lightly breaded and tender and choice of two dipping sauces were good! We chose the pecan encrusted chicken salad and it was good. Only thing I could recommend is that they don't keep the salad chilled in the plates because the lettuce was frozen on the bottom and wilted. I loved the 2 Vinaigrette choices that were offered.

    Awesome patio dining. Bread service, firm crust with herb butter. Lamb chops with extraordinary "crispy potato pave". Reasonable wine by the glass. Finished with white chocolate pot de creme. Combine above with Jade's perfect service. Impressive!

    Went to Lindey's to celebrate a birthday, and food was absolutely delicious! Food was presented beautifully and cooked with incredibly high quality of meat and ingredients; we had beef tornados so soft they melted in our mouths and delicious crab cakes with green beans and aoli and a very creamy and tasty lobster bisque. The ambiance is also very nice and elegant, and service was exceptional. I would highly recommend!!!

    Everything was great except the hostess outside. She was very putout asking about the terrace and I feel like she placed us in the traffic path intentionally. I haven’t spent my sons birthday with him in more than 10 years and the evening was a constant barrage of seating, customers in and out to leave and be seated and to go to restroom. Stressful with all of the extraneous things.

    A last minute decision to have dinner with my mom and we were close by. We were greeted by a lovely hostess, Quinn who greeted us with a smile and a compliment. She gave us a lovely table by the window and we were greeted right away by our server Sarah. From start to finish everything was wonderful and we appreciated the accommodation of splitting our dinners. Thank you Sarah for a wonderful experience and a kiss to the chef! Our steaks were cooked perfectly! We are looking forward to dining with you again soon!

    The calamari appetizer was so different. It was not rubber like or too chewy. It was amazing. Food portions were larger than we had expected for this restaurant. Service was phenomenal! We were pleased with the cost as we are from California where this meal would easily have cost twice the price. So we were pleasantly pleased. We also appreciated the complimentary valet parking.

    We requested the salads to have dressing on the side and they did not. The steak was overdone and dry. The service was good, as always. We received no visit from the manager to ask how our dinner was. The server did not ask us any questions about the quality of our food.
