    Three of us went for my birthday dinner tonight. It was the best meal I have had since I last ate at the Biltmore in Phoenix,AZ. The presentation was amazing, the waiter “Matthew” was friendly and knew the menu well, excellent at explaining the intricacies of how the dishes were prepared, was always there when we needed something and attentive to our table without being obtrusive. He was the perfect waiter. I had the sea scallops which were perfectly sautéed and served with a variety of steamed vegetables. We all started with the “Heirloom Beet salad” which was so good that Matthew was kind enough to get us a print out of the professional recipe! To finish off an outstanding meal, I had the Tiramisu, which although extremely rich, I was able to finish every last bite! A fantastic evening was had by all! I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation!

    As usual, a gratifying experience. Wonderful food and waitstaff. Fantastic cocktails and wine. Only slight downside from recent visit - despite having a very early (5:45pm) reservation, we were not seated until 6:20pm. That was a lot of standing around, but it was worth the wait. We’ll be back again this month!

    This was a quiet and very enjoyable business lunch meeting. The service was excellent; our server was very aware of the contents of every menu item of interest and accommodated all special requests with grace and ease. The food was perfectly seasoned and expertly dished. We asked about a soup special and while determining if it was something we would like, she presented both of us with a small demi-cup sample to try first! It was a wise call as it was so good we each had a cup to enjoy. This was a five star experience for a business lunch meeting.

    Lindey’s is always amazing. The staff is the best there. They are super knowledgeable about the food and wine list and are always extremely friendly every time. The food is the best in town. The lobster risotto will blow your mind away. The calamari appetizer is better than most restaurants on the coast. The desserts are also fantastic and complete a wonderful meal.
