“ Still one of my favorite restaurants. I was here for a work meeting- upstairs, they have meeting rooms to teams. There's also a separate bar upstairs that can be used by teams (if service is purchased). I ordered lobster bisque and shrimp angel hair pasta. This is the best lobster bisque I've had in the city. The service was great. And the meeting rooms are nice sized. Look forward to going here again. ”

“ Lovely service and ambiance! My partner and I came here for our anniversary dinner and it felt so special. They have a dedicated GF menu for those who are gluten-intolerant. We got the steak frites (GF) and shrimp angel hair entrees! Both were delicious. Highly recommend for a special occasion dinner spot. Would also recommend booking a reservation in advance, as this is a popular spot! ”

“ Restaurant; Daughter and I came in for brunch, super cute restaurant loved all the decor and the intimate setting. Located right in German Village make sure to get a reservation. Food; started with the yummy beignets to accompany my delicious mimosa. Main dish was the Eggs Benedict YUM. Cant wait to go back. Service; friendly and outgoing. ”

“ The best part about Lindey's is the upscale atmosphere and service: the restaurant is housed in a historic building that exudes both comfort and luxury. Their happy hour is excellent (but only available at the bar, which is a small space). Generally flavorful well-prepared food, if a little expensive for what it is. I went for lunch band ordered the egg Benedict special, which ended up being surprisingly dry (eggs weren't very running and I could have used more hollandaise sauce, as the croissant base was over toasted and hard. But the drinks were excellent (love their espresso martini) and it is always a good time. ”

“ We came here once again but this time it was a private event . We had our in-laws 64th Anniversary dinner here . We used the library room and it was a very nice size for the family . The servers were very professional and attentive. The food was very delicious. ”

“ If you have one meal in Columbus, have it at Lindey's. This German Village staple has been around since the 80s, and for good reason! The restaurant is stunning - beautifully appointed with amazing art pieces. The service was wonderful! Our waiter, Andrew, was incredibly patient and helped us navigate through the extensive menu, offering suggestions along the way. Finally, the food was spectacular! Our table started with the burrata and carpaccio - they were both excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the steak frites and stole a few bites of the shrimp and lobster risotto. We finished our meal with some of the best creme brûlée I've ever had. Bonus points: dedicated gluten free menu! ”

“ This restaurant is a true gem in Columbus. Beyond its rich history, the food, atmosphere, and customer service are on another level. We thoroughly enjoyed both our appetizers and main course. Here's a little story about fine dining in Columbus, Ohio, where tradition and excellence come together seamlessly. Sue Doody, founder of Lindey's, was born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1934. After teaching public school for several years, she ran a small catering business and held cooking classes in her home before launching Lindey's in 1981, located in the historic German Village. As a divorced mother of four with no formal culinary training, Sue grew Lindey's into a Columbus, Ohio dining landmark over the next 43 years. Since its opening, Lindey's has consistently ranked among Columbus' Top 10 Restaurants. Sue's passion for people and her commitment to genuine hospitality have created an exceptional dining experience in Columbus. Today, her legacy continues through her sons. ”

“ We had heard so much about how good Lindey's is and it still managed to exceed our expectations! We were seated out on the patio for lunch, which is a really nice space with a fountain in the middle and wrought iron fencing. We started with the complimentary bread basket (which came with warm sourdough, fresh baked cheesy crackers, and soft butter) and ahi tuna tartare, both of which were very good. The fact that the bread came out warm was a huge plus. Their menu advertises that you can buy a fresh loaf to take home and I see why! The tuna was good quality and came with smashed avocado and soy sauce- just a solid tuna tartare. The star of the meal for me was the nut crusted chicken salad, which was truly one of the best salads I've ever had. The chicken was SO flavorful and stayed juicy with the perfect crispy exterior. Every element of the salad went together so well- the freshness of the greens and apple, the smokiness of the bacon, and the sweetness of the honey mustard were all perfect together. I asked for it without tomatoes and they kindly obliged. We also got the daily grilled cheese special, which had ham, Gruyere, and provolone and came with a cup of excellent tomato bisque. The sandwich was a bit smaller than we expected, but the flavor was fantastic and it was still a very satisfying meal- especially with the bisque. We paired our meal with a few cocktails (including the Commonwealth and the Spring Day) and really enjoyed those too. We could not stop talking about our meal and loved everything we had! ”

“ Always 5* and glad to say it was today as well, for Sunday Brunch. Our server Elena is a pro, well trained, efficient, personable. FYI. Reservations are not applicable for the patio. That's first come first serve. At 11am there were 30 people in line. Valet is free, tips only. We had the Eggs Lindey's (always excellent) and salmon dish. The Bloody's are perfect. Top 5 restaurant in all of Central Ohio for over 40 years. ”

“ Lindey's is a Columbus landmark for a reason - great food, creative drinks, classy ambiance & exceptional, friendly service! I highly recommend what could be the world's best French onion soup, the pork chop & don't pass up the freshly baked bread! ”
