Anna S.

Overall, the food was decent, but nothing particularly impressive. That said, the steak main course wasn't my favourite, as neither the steak nor the side dishes were seasoned quite right. All the other dishes were probably far better than this main course. The non-alcoholic cocktails were alright, but nothing to write home about.

Decided to come to Lindens after some research and great pulsed deal. This was place is pretty far in the west side and has two entrances based off of you go through the hotel or their actual entrance. The place has a few tables busy but nothing over whelming at the time. Was able to sit promptly and was serviced attentively throughout the entire meal. The food and drinks were good, nothing out the norm but did the job on for a Saturday brunch.

This place was surprisingly good!! Was looking for a spot to meet friends after work and we came here for happy hour but loved all the food. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Staff was so fun and friendly!

Pricy but worth it. The size of the sandwiches are hugeee. The service was nice and attentive.

Really yummy food and good service for my 3rd time here! The margarita was good too, it honestly could have been even spicier.

I have been to the restaurant. About four different times now. Each time has only been a great experience. The staff is incredibly helpful with recommendations about items on the menu and well versed on them. The restaurant can be either a bit quiet or loud. Depending on the crowd. That's there. But there's always kind of relaxing music in the background. The food is absolutely delicious. I would call it mostly American with a twist. I would definitely recommend for anyone's to check this place out.

Thyme Parker House Rolls, Shoestring French Fries, peach

The best rolls I've ever had in my life. I still think about these bread rolls. The food was amazing (although burgers took a while to come out) and the staff is really accommodating. I didn't like one of my drinks so they returned it and gave me a new one without hesitation. It felt like everyone catered to us which was very sweet and the place is just so open and spacious. Great vibes all around!

Summer carrot ravioli & freshly baked loaf with herb butter
Dana S.

I had such an incredible experience at Lindens! Fran, the bartender/mixologist, was absolutely amazing -- so patient and thoughtful in helping me choose a drink. I went with the Shishito Julep, and it was perfect. The food was out of this world. The sausage breakfast sandwich, citrus salad, and summer carrot ravioli were all phenomenal -- the ravioli especially was the perfect balance of savory, herby, buttery, silken goodness with that touch of pancetta. And you must try the fresh-baked bread loaf with herb butter... it's heavenly. The vibe here is just as great as the food: farm-to-table freshness, a warm atmosphere, and staff that feel friendly in a way that's almost familiar, like you've known them forever. Can't wait to come back.

The guy who greeted us wasn't sure when we would be able to get seated. So we checked out the drink menu in the waiting area. Then he comes back and says he will seat us right away. That was fantastic of him! We had some good drinks....I believe mine was the strawberry old fashioned. I normally don't like strawberry drinks but this was so delicious! The hangar steak was also wonderful! The place was lovely. I wish it had not been raining because the outside patio looked so inviting! Would definitely eat here again if in NYC!

Carmine B.

We normally do not frequent hotel restaurants as the menu is either limited or not of top quality. This is NOT the case for Lindens. A must go for atmosphere, service, and quality. Whether a date, a business meeting or a large group fun-time out, this place is recommended. It's not on a main street and out of the way from other business....hidden on a side street.

East vs West Oysters

I mean... it's okay. Spicy sausage pizza I did NOT like. The flavor is not what you would typically expect from a staple like this. Oysters and butternut raviolis were good. Peach creme brûlée was fire . Pricing is what you'd expect for the most part.

Mushroom & polenta

I needed to book Sunday brunch for a large group of 9, including 2 small children and 1 dog, 2 weeks out. During my search, I came across many restaurants with street side outdoor seating, which I am not a fan of, but would take it if there were no other options. Then, I stumbled upon Linden's. Linden's is part of the Arlo Hotel and offers indoor and outdoor dining. Their outdoor dining space is a gorgeous and ENCLOSED courtyard with an urban chic feel to it. It was perfect for our group. I couldn't believe OpenTable had the availability for my large group. It was too good to be true. I locked down the reservation immediately. Then, I reached out to Linden's via email and Instagram to confirm my booking. They were super responsive. Within the hour, Alison responded back to me through email and Instagram confirming they would be able to accommodate my group. I was ecstatic. On the day of the brunch, more than half of us were running 30 minutes to an hour late. I called Linden's to let them know, and they were so cool about it. Finally, when everybody arrived, we ordered our foods with our server, who was incredibly nice and accommodating. Despite the small brunch menu, the food was delicious. My polenta & mushroom dish was so good, I would totally get it again. Everybody else either had the 3-egg omelet or one of the breakfast sandwiches. I did not try the breakfast sandwiches but had some omelet. GET THE POLENTA & MUSHROOM. Sunny side up egg on top of a creamy polenta, with roasted mushrooms that were just exquisite. The whole dish was perfection. Our table also had 3 orders of the mixed berry salad. It seemed like it was a popular item, and I totally get why. The berries were fresh. The blackberries were plump and juicy, and every single one was surprisingly unbruised. I did not see a drinks menu, but Linden's has a full bar, so feel free to order any drink you want. My husband had an espresso martini, which he enjoyed. With the enclosed courtyard, the 2 restless small children were able to walk around, never leaving our sight, while the grown-ups chatted. Our group had a lovely brunch that lasted over 2 hours. We took our time, and no one rushed us. Linden's, you were absolutely wonderful to us. I would be back in a heartbeat.

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

It definitely has the vibe of a speakeasy, especially with the jazz band playing. We went with the brunch special which is $35 for bottomless drinks with the purchase of an entree.

I had the 3 Eggs Any Style and my wife had the Breakfast Flatbread. Those dishes as well as our friends were well made and delicious.

We're three young women in the service industry and still felt completely unwelcome--the hostess told us to find our own seating even though the sign said see hostess. The bartender was rude and uninterested, standing 5 min+ at the bar without even being acknowledged. Another staff member was dismissive when closing us out and rolled her eyes when asked to take cash. The overall vibe felt like we weren't wanted, even though it was only around 11 PM. The DJ was underwhelming and the bathroom was vile. The most pleasant part was the below average $20 drinks. For an expensive, well-known spot, this was a very poor experience. Couldn't pay me to return.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

Bartenders were cool and drinks were good. Because it was a Sunday and it was pretty busy, we decided to get a table before the restaurant filled up. The waiter was super cool and did not rush us while we waited at our table. I got the braised short rib mafaldine and I gotta say it was one of the better pasta dishes I have eaten in a while. Very thick and flavorful sauce along with the nice texture of the mafaldine pasta and nice and tender meat made this such a great dish. Very generous portion size, too. Even when we were finished and we stayed and talked a bit, we weren't rushed by the waiter and he let us continue to stay and talk. That was pretty cool of him. Also came by several times to drop off water and check if we needed anything else. Some negatives are that the place is pretty dark and kind of cramped. It is also pretty loud, so you will need to speak pretty loudly to be heard at your table. Overall, I loved the braised shot rib mafaldine. My friends also liked their dishes, which included the steak, late night spaghetti, and Mediterranean salad. If I'm back in the area, I will be sure to come back here.

Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak.

Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
