    Everything was TOP NOTCH. Oue server Cassandra was just the right amount of attentive and had a great personality. 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

    Loved the restaurant. Decor was wonderful; we could tell that style was a part of the decor. Camaraderie coworkers was evident by the various handshakes between them. The traffic of serving was wonderful. We saw how critical and helpful a touch on the back was to letting someone know they were coming through. Sound quality was strikingly good. I heard the music but I could also hear my wife talk. There’s an art to that and it was appreciated. Really liked how we could brighten the light at the table. I could hang out there often!

    Overall, we felt like welcomed and appreciated patrons, and we will most certainly be back. Food was great, most had hanger steak. Drinks were excellent. The table size was perfect for our group. Its location at the door made for a noisier, colder and less private dinner, and the use of stools for two of our party was less comfortable for them. Our server, Jenna was great, and she made up for the inconvenience with her enjoyable personality, complimentary bruschetta, and flexibility on appetizer portions.
