    We were seated at a table top at the very end of the room, which was fine. The waiter/bartender took our order, and that was the last we saw, everyone else delivered the food, and when we were almost finished, he stopped by for a second, I was wanting a cup of coffee after my meal however, nobody ever came back, took us forever to get our check, because he was busy at the bar. I have one time was a server and always was a great tip her but this time I was not, if you can’t handle the extra table, don’t take it I brought a person from my workplace who is going to be leaving for Kuwait in February for a nice lunch, it was very disappointing

    We dine at the establishment just about every Saturday night …. Consistently good food and great service and atmosphere, but last night they had Halibut on the menu as a special - the fish they tried to pass off as Halibut clearly wasn’t - they made it right and offered a replacement - tired of restaurants trying to pass off a different class fish as Halibut - If you know, you know

    Our party of three had the lamb, steak fritte risotto and angel hair pasta. Also onion soup and lobster bisque! Desert was bourbon bread pudding, And something really different… Basque cheese cake. Everything was excellent and served by the most friendly and efficient young lady from Belgium! Well worth the price and we will definitely be back!

    We had a party of 7 for a birthday celebration on a busy Saturday night. The service was excellent. Our server checked on us regularly, water glasses were always filled, plates removed once we were finished. Lindeys had no issues at all with the birthday cake we brought. As soon as we checked in for our reservation, they took the cake back to the kitchen, ensuring it didn't need refrigeration before taking it. Once dinner was over, our server told us to let him know when we were ready for the cake, which they brought out on plates. The food was excellent. Highly recommend.

    This is my second time eating at Lindey's in the past 2 weeks (last time was for brunch) and reinforced my disappointment that the food has really fallen short. Not sure if it's the new menu or if they need a new director of culinary! Brunch croque Madame had a dollop of congealed mornay at brunch and the sandwich was completely cold inside. The tuna tartare, which had been a staple for the past several years, is now disgusting. There is no flavor of ginger ponzu--they must have just put ginger and soy sauce--no depth or complexity of flavor--just overpowering ginger. Turkey sandwich--meh, could have been gotten at any sandwich shop in town. Saving grace is that service remains a strong point and great for business meetings. But Lindey's has definitely lost a step

    Haven't eaten here for several years and it was as good as we remembered it being. The lobster bisque was tasty but lacked chunks of lobster that I remembered from the past. The trout special was good. The cheesecake was more bread than cheese, which is a different consistency than I have had before and was not particularly good.

    Great food served in a nice, though somewhat noisy, environment. Service is great, and not rushed. We had some food allergies in our party, and our server was very good at pointing out dishes without our allergens or suggesting substitutions. Dishes were flavorful, well prepared and nice size. Overall, a great experience.

    We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we had the most romantic table! We were greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbles to celebrate our special day! The carpaccio and risotto are out of this world! Everything about the night was superb! Our server Kyla was very attentive but not overbearing and the food was incredible! We can’t wait to go back!

    Always a great experience at Lindey’s! The lobster bisque is seriously the best I’ve ever had. I was a little disappointed that you no longer had the turkey and Gruyère sandwich on the pretzel bun, but my turkey and avocado on a croissant was really good, if a little messy.

    We dined at Lindey’s for the first time while celebrating my Birthday. We picked Lindey’s at the recommendation of a Brother who used to work there. The service was great, McKenzie took very good care of us. Our food was served promptly and hot. Our meals were delicious. I had the Tartare and my Wife had the Potstickers for appetizers. For our entrees we had the Risotto and the Steak Frites. I really enjoyed the Risotto and would be hard pressed to not order it again next time and there will be a next time for sure. We shared the Cheesecake for dessert. The atmosphere was very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks to the staff for providing a wonderful Birthday dinner experience and the complimentary cheesecake!

    Everything about Lindey’s screams excellence. From the first welcome at the door, to the last goodnight of the evening. Our server Jesse was attentive and professional while also striving to make the ambiance personable. From his recommendations of wine to his descriptions of entrees he hits the mark on what true service means. I highly recommend the Sazerac!!

    Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had. I took my mother for a nice dinner as she was visiting from out of town. The pork chop was phenomenal, grilled to perfection with each bite melting in your mouth. The Fitapreta Red suggested by our server was incredible and paired very well with the pork. The calamari and shrimp is always a strong starter and the crème brûlée was an elegant finish along with a French press. My mom enjoyed the chicken, with mashed potatoes.

    We celebrated an anniversary and the whole experience was so great. We arrived early and the hostess went above and beyond to seat us. Once we were seated, we were welcomed with a cancel and a toast. Ours server (Andy?) was very attentive-warm, welcoming but not overall chatty. We were there for brunch and the food was delicious.

    Excellent, attentive service and appreciated that the request for a table in the back where it's not as loud was honored. Food has definitely slipped a notch. Croque was not warmed through so was more like a ham and cheese sandwich with virtually no sauce. Quiche was good, not great. Overall an excellent dining experience, and a good food experience.
