Lindy was an excellent server and really connected with us and our needs (also tasted the white Malbec with me for both of our first time, which was super fun!). The environment was really lively! My husband thought it was a little on the loud side but I just saw a lot of happy people in a warm, colorful environment having a good time. The food was extremely well prepared, beautiful presented and very balanced - we hadn't had this perfect a dining experience in a very long time and hope to come back within the year to use the secret envelope we were given at the end of our meal. Barcelona surpassed our expectations and I will be singing its praises for quite some time.

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!!!
