                                                            Our meal was an office holiday luncheon, the third in four years at Lindey’s. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers, their entrees and drinks. Our server was efficient and unobtrusive. Lindey’s, as ever, was lovely and welcoming. We all agreed we will be back next year.

                                                            Always an amazing experience; we love Lindy’s…the only issue is the noise…we were there for lunch and it was so noisy that it was hard to talk to each other….

                                                            We went to Lindey’s for our 1st wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint! The food was incredible and the service was even more amazing! Nate was amazing! We told him that we were sober and he went above and beyond to still make us feel special on our anniversary by offering us a dessert instead of champagne. The ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful. Every aspect of our dinner was phenomenal. Lindey’s is our new favorite place!

Two of our party had the halibut special and it was delicious. One person as the steak Frites and another the Tournedos of beef. Both pieces of meat were cooked exactly to our specifications. THe lobster bisque is creamy and full of lobster and the french onion soup was overflowing with delicious cheese. This is not our first time at Lindy's and it will not be our last. We also had an outstanding table in a nook in the back of the restaurant. We could hear each other speak

                                                            We love Lindsey’s and enjoy this restaurant very much. You always have wonderful food and service. But the one thing we don’t like is the noise level . Besides having a busy restaurant, they also have music playing which is not needed as it just adds to the noise created by the patrons. Their homemade rustic sour dough bread is delicious. We even bought a loaf today to freeze and have on Christmas Day.
