Had a fantastic experience here as a gluten intolerant person for their tasting menu. I do wish they would have been more accommodating to my friend who was with me that is keto. They would not offer her low carb replacements and made her burger be delivered with the bun, no exceptions. I do think I would have preferred the regular menu and will probably go back to try that.

I went to Barcelona for the first time last night. It’s so cute and beautiful inside. The service was great! I have celiac and the waiter took care to make sure my food was prepared safely and separately. He even asked me to teach him more about what celiac was, which was so great!

Service cocktails, and ambience were amazing!! The food however, Was a bit disappointing. The grapefruit cosmopolitan were delicious. All of the food LOOKED good. The Whipped ricotta looked beautiful, but had very little flavor except for a lot of lemon, which was not even listed in the ingredients on the menu. We sent this back. The burrata was fine, but under seasoned. Tomato focaccia (free bread) was delicious. Carbonara pasta was overcooked mush, very little flavor and we sent it back. The rigatoni pasta was well cooked, but the tomato sauce had very little flavor and was very thin. The special was short ribs and polenta. It was good however there was a very strange and strong flavor of lemon in the polenta. I have celiac disease and was excited to see gluten free gnocchi on the gluten free menu. However, after I tried to order it, they explained to me that this was not gluten free even though it was on the gluten-free menu. My dinner companion did not have Celiac.

Delicious! I tasted two very different dishes, and both delighted my taste buds. They clearly mark vegetarian items on the menu to but for vegan and/or gluten free, you have to ask, and or very capable server took a good 5 minutes of notes from the person who could explain the options…. I'd love to see vegan-available and gluten-free-available items just marked on the menu. Can't wait to go again and try some of the libations!

Very cute, the food was great! Gluten free options, vegetarian options, and real meat are available. It can be busy and long food wait but it was worth it for the most part. Learned my lesson, make a reservation... 🚀👾🌌

My best friend from Cincinnati went to Lindeys as a special dinner before a concert they were in town for. Her husband was excited about ordering the lamb chops based on a referral from my late grandfather. She got the fish and he got lamb chops. She informed the server she have celiac disease but was not offered a gluten free menu. Her food was definitely contaminated. She was in the restroom sick most of the concert. Her husbands lamb chops came out undercooked. He is an executive chef. He has ran multiple 5 star restaurants and has been in the business for over 2 decades. He nicely ask the server for them to be put back on the grill. She in turn was completely rude and got very defensive. She ultimately took them back. When they were brought back out they still weren't right and didn't taste as good as he'd hoped. When my friend called the store manager the next day to inform him about the problems he was also rude and very passive. She explained about the cross contamination and asked if maybe she was given a dish with gluten, he all but blamed her for not asking for a gluten free menu. Ultimately ended up asking her if he could call her back because he was late for a meeting. Zero apologies, zero resolutions, zero cares given. I remember Lindeys being a top notch restaurant. The best according to my late grandfather. Sad to hear they've fallen off. I will not ever refer anyone to this establishment again and detour anyone to eat here especially those with celiac disease.
