                                                            Totally awesome romantic lunch for two. All the food was quite good, the Chicken & Mushroom Pot stickers especially so. We had some leftover, or I would have ordered a take out of those pot stickers. We enjoyed the bread service as well don't forget to ask for it. Someone cut up the greens on the salad very fine, making for a delicious salad that you could eat elegantly in fine clothing. The selection of ingredients in the salad told you that some serious thought by professionals went into the making of that salad. It was, like all of the food, something that made you slow down and savor every bite and listen to what the chef was telling you. We didn't have room for any dessert, but the sorbet was calling to me just the same. We'll be back for our anniversary, if not sooner.

                                                            Everything was pretty terrific. Martinis were very good. Wines were fine. Salmon entre was terrific. Could have used more sweet potatoes but that's just my preference. All-in-all, terrific night, as usual and expected, at Lindey's.

                                                            Food was great. The filet was excellent great taste and cooked perfectly mashed potatoes were excellent. Sausage pennoni was very tasteful full of many different flavors. Spicy but not overly hot. Cocktails were spot one. One of best meals I have had.

We were there over two hours (on our own accord) and the staff was patient, kind, attentive, even after we paid the bill came by to refill our water glasses while we chatted. Table was cleared in a timely manner, the food was spectacular (crab and eggs, french onion soup, quiche). Really classy establishment, affordable and top notch in every category. Sourdough bread and beignets were also very tasty!
