    Lunch in downtown Columbus is back and special! We started with the Dirty Tots - crispy, spicy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a pop of caviar with dill garnish. Fantastic. The Lobster Roll is warm, filled with plump claw meat in a buttery roll with clarified butter for dipping and crispy shoestring fries. The Roasted Chicken was beyond any roast chicken with stuffing in the chicken breast, savory glaze on perfectly crisped skin. Even the iced tea was special - the current house made creation is a Blood Orange Iced Tea. A second glass arrived just as I was finishing the first. Service is friendly and gracious, there is valet at the lunch hour, and the interior of the restaurant is a lovely mix of formal and floral. A great business or celebratory lunch spot - much needed downtown.

    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!!!
