Our meal was an office holiday luncheon, the third in four years at Lindey’s. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers, their entrees and drinks. Our server was efficient and unobtrusive. Lindey’s, as ever, was lovely and welcoming. We all agreed we will be back next year.

Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
