Stephen Burch
Excellent high end restaurant with delicious food and overall enjoyable experience. Came here for a private event in the Library. I was impressed at the quality and attention to detail. All the staff were friendly and kind. The food was exceptional with the filet being one of the best I have ever had. The Caesar salad was also terrific and worth a mention! This would be a perfect date spot. Though our waiter had mentioned that they had a kids menu this would not be the best as far as kid friendly mainly based on the overall experience and layout. Highly recommended!

Tess took great care of us at Lindeys and I'm happy to find a spot I'll be returning to. The environment and menu give plenty to enjoy along with their good staff and management. Flavor is spot on! Come and make sure yourself !

This place is wonderful. Prompt friendly service. Atmosphere is upscale but comfortable, not pretentious. "Commonwealth" cocktail beautiful sweet, citrus balance. Steak salad ingredients fresh, flavorful, steak cooked perfect mid-rare per request. Complimentary hit fresh bread and seasoned crisps, fresh butter a welcomed delicious touch, and were great to dip in my lobster bisque. Lots of things I wante to try, wish I lived next door. Well done Lindsey's.

We had dinner for my mother’s birthday and it was a wonderful experience! Our server Chris was excellent and he took great care of us. It really made the night special.

First time I went I had a great experience so I decided to celebrate my birthday here at the end of January, during restaurant week. The menu was not the same as the first time I was there and we had the RUDEST waitress ever, she did not try to even offer any solutions or recommendations to the lack of a vegetarian main courses on either menu. The waitress did not let me order an entree from the restaurant week menu, the tiramisu I had for my birthday cake was incredibly dry and really the worst I ever had, aside from not very good looking. I always feel bad when I talk to my friends about the bad experience I had for my birthday and the poor service I received for my special day.

Went for the first ti.e last night. Food is DELICIOUS and the service and atmosphere is great. My fiance surprised me with a date and I had no idea how beautiful it was going to be. I'm so glad we came and we will be back!

We drove all the way from Cincinnati to have brunch at this place. Stared off with a Burrata which was awesome, but the bread was too hard. I ordered a glass of orange juice and literally received Half glass of juice. I wonder if it is their usual quantity or they forgot to fill the glass for me. I had Quiche for main course and just fell it love with it. This is the first time I’m having Quiche in my life and am glad I had it here. My cousin wants to order a grilled cheese, the server said they can’t make it. But the manager (Ajay Verma) was kind enough to agree to make it for us, loved his gesture but the taste of grilled cheese was awful and my cousin had to throw it away as he couldn’t eat it. Finally they gave us a complimentary dessert after reminding them several times that we want it as a surprise, but they spoiled the surprise as they couldn’t remember to bring it at the right time. They gave us the check even before the dessert arrived. This looked very careless on their part as we’ve informed multiple servers that we’re here to celebrate a birthday but they acted like they don’t give a damn. But, the Crème Brûlée was FANTASTIC. One of the best desserts I had in my life. A must try. Overall it was a good experience. Would’ve been great had they been more attentive towards us.

Went for a Saturday brunch and sat in the bar area, very welcoming and beautiful atmosphere, everyone is incredibly nice and attentive. Drinks and food were all cooked perfectly and seasoned correctly. Having the Lobster Bisque, Calamari, and Egg Lindey, good portion sizes and prices are great. Definitely will come back when I go through Columbus again.
