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.

                                                            Still the best in town! Drenched in rich history, Lindey’s remains Columbus’ favorite dining spot to experience with friends, family and/or business colleagues. Nestled beautifully in German Village, it is special any time of the year, and especially pleasant during the holiday season when the restaurant is filled with oversized brilliant poinsettias! Don’t miss walking past the patio, which is a holiday light show all in itself! …. Service and food superb as always! Thank you, Lindey’s!
