Lindey's Restaurant

Since our move from Manhattan, we have dined at Lindey's on at least a half dozen occasions. The quality of food, diversity of the menu and level of service is certainly comparable to that which we have grown accustomed to in NYC. \t\n\t\nWhether diners seek a romanti...c evening with their loved one, a great place to take out of town guests, a quiet place for a lunch meeting -- Lindey's is certainly one of the top places in Columbus to go. \t\n\t\nThe salads are always fresh, seafood, namely the scallops are prepared deliciously, and carnivores can enjoy a unique preparation of turnadoes. \t\n\t\nBottom line -- make reservations, be prepared for a gastronomic delight and don't skip the wine list!

The experience start off kinda shaky, but ended up being wonderful. First the staff couldn't find our reservations, however it was a Sunday so finding a table was not a prob. Second it took us about 25 mins to order out dinner..... But was it ever worth the wait!!! W...e started with the basil tomato flat bread.... wonderful. My wife and I each enjoyed our cup of French onion soup. She ordered the crab cakes, she enjoyed them but said she'd prolly not order them again. I ordered the rack of lamb and it was the best lamb I have ever eaten... well worth the $24 price. For desert my wife had some sort of sundae.. I had the Bananna's Foster... homemade vinilla bean ice cream... wonderfull treat. Very nice place to dine, would recomend it to all! Read More

Lindely's is one of my favorite restaurants because I know I'll always get excellent food and friendly service. One minus is the noise level - usually it's crowded and the tables are a little too close to each other. But, their wedge salad is fantastic, they don't ski...mp on the steamed mussels and the bananas foster, if you can squeeze in dessert, is delicious. The entres are perfectly sized - I hate paying a lot for fine dining and having a super large plate with a super small portion of food. Always a great experience. Read More

Though the restaurant was nearly empty on a Sunday night, we were seating next to the bus station, and the waitress refused to bring us an ashtray. Our orders were constantly incorrect, and we would have to flag down wait staff or walk up to the bar to correct the many ...mistakes. Our appetizer--never arrived. The food was okay, but you could get MUCH better service at any of the other comparable restaurants in town. There's absolutely nothing about this restaurant that would make it stand out, except maybe the ridiculous volume of the music in the dining rooms that made conversation almost impossible. If you want a nice dinner, go to L'Antibes, Hanke's, Hyde Park or Smith and Wollensky. If you want rude, poor service and mediocre food go to Lindey's Read More

I've been to Lindey's before and had mixed feelings but our group of 8 wanted to go for New Year's Eve. We had reservations at "8:00 - 10:00" window and were seated at 9:15. Valet parking is almost mandatory and ran smoothly. We were in a good mood so the hour-plus wait... wasn't too bad. Our waiter seemed tired. He was guaranteed a 15% tip because of our group size (hate this policy) and it took him 20 minutes to finally take our order. Food arrived after another 40 minutes. My entree (beef tournedos) was unevenly cooked but tasty nonetheless. Dessert was outstanding. He never came back or offered coffee. The assistants refilled water once. Our $400+ bill was combined and he refused to split so we had to go to manager who took another 45 minutes. What a hassle. Computers do all the work, people, just press the buttons! Read More

While in town to visit my parents, a visit to Lindeys came recommended from the neighbors. To say the least, the recommendation was worth every word. Lindey's service was exceptional, and our dinner on this evening was exceptional. I highly recommend Lindey's to anyone who desires a clean atmosphere, intelligent and attentive service and a great wine list.
