                                                            Well, I’ve been going to this restaurant since Sue Doody opened it. I’ve come to expect only the finest food and the best service in the city. The service was excellent. I am shocked at what has happened to the nut crusted chicken salad. The chicken was as thin as the crust was. It was dried out; I could barely cut it with a butter knife. The salad was so bitter and so unimaginative that I could only eat part of it. The granny Smith apples that used to be in a beautiful row of slices are now just tiny little bits of apple in the salad The omelette that my friend ordered was extremely small and plated with no imagination. I have been to diners in Columbus that serve a better omelette with more more appeal. Her fruit salad was mostly blueberries. She doesn’t like blueberries,so she really didn’t eat much of her fruit salad. It will be a long time before I consider coming back for lunch. I have had better experiences at diner with the quality of the food. The Keylime pie and the crème brûlée were excellent.

                                                            I love coming here. I have celiac disease so it’s always a little hard going out to eat, but Lindey’s is always so fantastic. I have never had a reaction after eating here. Our waitress tonight was extra amazing and helpful. This is our go to spot for special occasions and visiting family/friends. Never change Lindey’s!! P.S. if you ever start to make gluten free bread and pastries in your bakery you will have customers in this area!!!! I will be your #1 customer!!!

Especially loved the croissants and cinnamon honey biscuits, shared at our table. Warm, freshly baked and delicious!! Also recommend the Lindey’s eggs with filet medallions and an incredible Croque Madame!! Mimosas also on point in an elegant, well appointed space.
