    My partner and I went to Columbus for an overnight and booked the Guild House for dinner. To say the least, our experience there made our entire weekend. We loved it. It was fine dining at its best and a very European style dinner. The service was excellent in that our server took care of us but allowed us to enjoy our meal and only came over when necessary. The food was presented beautifully and was very good and in just the right size servings. My partner had the Cavatelli and i had the Joyce Farms chicken. Both were excellent! We shared the Caramel apple for dessert. Excellent as well! A visit that made our entire weekend! Strongly recommend eating here! THANKS!

    Lindey’s never disappoints. I’ve lived in Florida for 30 years now but still enjoy going to Lindeys when I’m back in Columbus. Though it’s a nicer restaurant they haven’t gauged people with huge price increases over the years as so many others have. Don’t get me wrong it’s not cheap but no one expects it to be when visiting here. We went for lunch this trip and had the turkey Rachel which was fantastic. Don’t forget the glass of wine!

    The server was great and our food was excellent-I had the steak sandwich which was real high quality steak by the way not the shaved variety you get at other places. Husband had the mushroom sandwich-always a favorite and daughter and boyfriend had the chicken sliders. A wonderful evening!

    The beef tenderloin was a perfect medium rare for me as requested. My wife's buttermilk battered chicken sandwich was very good. Even the French fries were good. The guacamole was fantastic and the queso was pretty good too. Warm tortilla chips served with those. Got out the door for about $100. Not bad for a mid to upscale restaurant price wise
