Growing up, Lindey's was the place to go - great supper club ambiance and supposedly fabulous food. I recently dined there and thought I was on another planet with such high prices for steak (sirloin?) and a menu on an easel? For those of you who think it is the place to be, you are really missing out on better values for your $$$ and not the major steak chains either. The stiff drinks probably cloud your judgment. I split the meal with my husband and was charged $10 to share some sort of paste potatoes, the sizzling steak tasted like it was previously frozen which was so raw, it was still mooing and you couldn't chew it and a plastic bowl that served iceberg lettuce with some sort of orange blob in the middle. Oh and don't forget the hot dog buns (aka: garlic toast). Our meal with a nice bottle of wine and tip was close to $90.00! It really angers me being so horrifically disappointed in spending hard earned money on such a nightmare dining experience. My husband complained and they were insulted that he would think to criticize this famous restaurant that holds its clientele on a reputation that has seen its hey-day. What did they do? They gave him a steak to go thinking this would resolve our complaints when in fact, it only made matters worst. My husband couldn't chew the one steak he paid for, why would they think a 2nd steak would be better? For those of you who think this place is still the place to be - I would suggest that you expand your palate and realize there are so many better restaurants serving wonderful steaks at a cost that you feel is worth the money. I have dined in some of the best restaurants in major cities across the US and have yet to ever be so disappointed in a dining experience that I would have to take the time to write a review like this.
