    I took my wife to Lindey's for her birthday and it was amazing. Cocktails were great, dumpling appetizers were delicious, and our server Christopher gave us great recommendations for our meal. Can't wait to go back!

    Had to be one of the finest dining experiences in my life. Waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Food was exceptionally great. We had the miso sea bass & lamb chops. Sweet rolls, carrots & Anna potato. The ambiance reminded me of dining at a high end Vegas restaurant. Valet parking was affordable and convenient.

    Our server was super nice and super knowledgeable. She helped guide my daughter's friends who had never been there what the most popular items were and she was so patient. Thank to entire staff for making her 18th Birthday special. The host was very sweet when I called to let you know my uber was running behind and she was also really accommodating. Just hats off to the staff and I can't wait to join you for dinner again. Amazing food and service.

    We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!
