Lindens is a personal fav. While in the neighborhood, my friends wanted a sit down restaurant and this was my suggestion. The service was great. We had a great server and hostess. For apps, the fries with the truffle aioli and the parker rolls were consistently amazing! For entrees, I ordered the chicken pillard. I do wish the dish came with another side for balance. The chicken was served as thin filets, crispy and fried topped with greens in a zesty and acidic sauce. If you're looking for a great restaurant and good tasting food, this is the one! Very consistent and always enjoyable. read more

My friend and I came here for dinner a few weeks ago and the ambiance is lovely. It's inside the Arlo hotel and they have indoor seating as well as a beautiful outdoor patio area to sit at (which is what we opted for). We ordered a few things to share including the Parker house rolls and the crispy fennel pita. Out of the two appetizers, I'd definitely order the pita again as the house rolls were a bit on the heavy side. For entrees, we ordered the spring onion and squash blossom tempura and the hanger steak. My friend really enjoyed the steak and I thought the tempura was quite tasty. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate chip cookies and they were delicious. The service was very good at the beginning, but as the night went on and it became more crowded, it became more difficult to flag down our server. Other than that, it's a nice place to come and have a drink or a meal. read more

Lindens was located in the Arlo SoHo hotel, just north of Canal Street and just east of the Holland Tunnel, making it a bit out of the way. I had been wanting to try it for years, but was always concerned that certain friends might find it a hike from their transportation hubs. However, I recently included it on a list of dinner options with some friends, and they were so interested in the menu that they were fine with the location, which was fantastic news for me. As I was approaching the restaurant on our selected evening, I received a message in our group chat that some of the folks had already arrived and were waiting for the rest of us in their "yurt in the courtyard". Well, that sure sounded exciting, and I was thrilled to discover them relaxing in a sort of wicker tent with a large, private table and plenty of room for our party of five. Throughout the night, we had several members of the waitstaff check in on us, which was a bit confusing, but William was our primary server and was very friendly. Once I took my seat, I picked up the cocktail list and was immediately drawn to the Rosemary Spiced Margarita, which turned out to be an excellent choice. It had smokey notes from its inclusion of Sel Maguey Vida Mezcal, heat from habanero, tartness from grapefruit and lime, herbaceousness from fresh rosemary, and a touch of sweetness from agave. It was perfection! We ordered starters for the table, including the Parker House Rolls with seasonal leek butter. The zesty, creamy spread was delicious, but the rolls were not the best. They were served as four thick slices that had been baked together into a small loaf and had been overcooked or toasted to the point where they were crunchy and dry. They were a letdown. To continue our carb-fest, we also got the Crispy Fennel Pita, which was similar to a lengthy flatbread that was sprinkled with various herbs like fresh fennel. It was served with a whipped feta that had been topped with a mint pesto and balsamic vinegar. Despite that bread course being labeled as "crispy", it was more chewy than anything, but I enjoyed it prepared as it was. Both the pita and the feta were sprinkled with herbs that really enhanced the flavors of two items that might otherwise be on the blander side. Lastly, we shared the Hamachi Crudo, which was delicate, fresh, and served in a tangy broth composed of jalapeno, cilantro, lemon oil, and a citrus paprika sauce. After all of those appetizers, we each opted for individual main courses, and I selected the Branzino. The grilled filet was topped with a Ceringola olive tapenade and served over a burnt eggplant-tahini, both of which really enhanced the Mediterranean flavors of the dish. The branzino had also been perfectly prepared with tender meat and light notes of char. My companions all liked their meals, and we all also agreed on the deliciousness of the side of fries we had placed in the center of the table. The massive bowl of thinly-cut, crispy fries had been sprinkled with either Cajun or Old Bay seasoning and were served with small cups of truffle mayo and ketchup on the side. The potatoes were tasty on their own and especially so after dipping them into the aromatic mayo. Lastly, we were debating on how many desserts to order to satisfy our needs for a sweet finale to the experience. We wound up getting a plate of their Chocolate Chip Cookies, which were baked fresh to order. William had let us know that the platter included six "bite-sized" treats, which I thought would not be enough, but they were actually larger than I had anticipated. They were also sinfully delicious with loads of gooey chocolate chunks in each one. My friends also ordered the Creme Brûlée. I had not read the details of Lindens' particular rendition, as custardy desserts usually do not appeal to me. However, I took a spoonful and was shocked to discover how unique it was. Beneath the traditional crunchy topping and decadent creme was a surprising layer of fresh apple compote that was not overly sweet. Together, it made such a heavenly bite! The plate also included a thin wedge of pie dough that had been backed into a crunchy cookie. In addition to the beautiful weather on that Spring evening, our dinner was made that much better by the delightful meal and ambiance at Lindens. It was one of those hotel restaurants that exceeded even locals' expectations. read more

I usually stay at the Arlo when I'm in Manhattan. One of my quick bites is @ Lindens. My go to is the Hamachi Crudo! (Great pairing with the Pita Bread). The staff at all the three drinking/eating establishments within the Hotel are wonderful. read more

The food here was surprisingly REALLY good! My fave was the Honeynut Squash Ravioli, the flavors really ooze out of the ravioli and the butter ties it all together. It's a nice spot, kind of dark, but good for a girls night or date night. Our server was super friendly and even offered us a free pear creme brulee since our cookies were taking longer than expected! Would def come back for the pasta again. read more

Had a really great experience at Lindens in the Arlo SoHo during happy hour. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and made really good recommendations. The happy hour oysters were only $1.50 each and super fresh easily one of the best deals I've found in the area. The space itself has a really nice atmosphere and feels like a great spot to relax after work or meet friends for drinks and a few bites. Between the service, the quality of the food, and the value during happy hour, I'd definitely come back again. read more

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. read more

They have a very cute courtyard with outdoor seating. The bar was very slow though - the restaurant was under 50% capacity and the drinks still took a long time. I love burrata as much as the next person, so did enjoy their burrata but wouldn't say it was that special. The chicken paillard was my main and it was pretty tasty! It's crispy vs grilled. I would have preferred a higher ratio of greens bc by the end I was just eating (tasty) fried chicken. I would go back for the ambiance and rare cute/nice outdoor seating close to Canal street. The cookie dessert was more than sufficient for our party of 2, and they did bring us complimentary after dinner drinks to make up for the slow speed of the earlier drinks. read more

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. read more

We came here for a date night and were thoroughly impressed. To start, every dish we had was delicious, my favorite of the night was the asparagus and artichoke tempura, very light and fluffy crispy coating and the sauce was perfect. The kumquat mule I had was also excellent, a nice sweetness to really amplify the traditional Moscow mule. As for ambiance, the enclosed courtyard was such a nice atmosphere with warmers at the tables in case it gets a little chilly. As for the service, they really knocked it out of the park. We felt we were well taken care of, when we had to wait longer or if there was a hiccup in the kitchen, they were kind enough to provide us some beverages for our troubles. They also had freed up more servers to the end, and were very attentive and checked in on us regularly. Really appreciated the service here, it felt like they truly wanted to make the experience special. read more

Had an amazing experience at Linden's. Our server Macky was very personable and easy on the eyes. His recommendations were on point.

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

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Had a wonderful Mother's Day at Lindens. Found the food, ambiance, staff, and especially our waiter William to be of the utmost high standards. Everyone was so courteous to my family and I. Kudos to this restaurant! read more

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. read more

Very good breakfast but slow service. Atmosphere is lovely, pancakes were best I ever had.

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. read more

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. read more

Lindens is a great spacious easy choice for a big group dinner. There were no issues with making the reservation for a Friday evening. The service was attentive and very friendly. The cocktail menu was diverse. We went a little over board with ordering apps but we liked what we tried! The Parker house rolls, and French fries really hit the spot. Crispy fennel pita, margherita pizza, and green salad were good but nothing amazing. Nothing really mind blowing but very good spot for a nice and easy dinner and drinks. read more

I'm not a big fan of restaurants in hotels because they seem to exist at the convenience of hotel guests and less so for their expertise. We decided to take a chance as it was fairly seamless to walk in and get a table, let alone an indoor shaded seat in a quiet environment for conversations. We ordered: Green Salad Heirloom Carrot Ravioli Dragon Fruit Tonic Cantaloupe & Sage Spritz The server and service was exceptionally chipper and prompt with them thoughtfully asking if we'd like our dishes to arrive at the same time or after the other. Even when the initial server had to end their shift, they handed us off to the proper server for any questions or requests, which maybe to some could feel trivial, but personally felt like a breath of fresh air. I appreciated that the pancetta garnish on the ravioli could be removed and the salad was quite unique even though the listed ingredients sounded very basic. The most memorable aspect of our time were their zero proof cocktail options and the happy medium between sweetness and tart flavors. Lindens proved to be a well made decision amidst the outside looking very lowkey, but the rooftop bar and memorabilia esque board across the elevators felt like memorable intent for one to come back for! read more

This restaurant is attached to the Arlo Soho Hotel where I was staying. I only had breakfast there one morning and it was very tasty. The restaurant also serves dinner, any maybe lunch, and has a happy hour at their bar. I had the ACAI BOWL: coconut, almonds, banana, figs, thomcord grape. This was delicious. It was a large portion, had lots of yummy toppings and lots of acai. Overall a really nice breakfast. They did only sell soda in small glass bottles but otherwise a nice breakfast. read more

Attached to the lovely Art SoHo Rooftop/Hotel. Gorgeous restaurant with an amazing fragrance traveling from the hotel. The giardiniera was so salty and vinegary I couldn't eat it! I don't think you should add salt to vinegar-pickled veggies. Soo disappointed as I love vegetables and hummus but this missed the mark by far. However, Service was absolutely wonderful...memorable. The food was as delicious as it sounded on the menu & looked in photos. The steak was thicker than pictures and was perfectly cooked. Mine was medium temperature and it was truly worth ordering. My Yelpie friend reminded me about checking in and we were able to get the Parker Thyme rolls free with check in - the butter had a light lemon zest and the warm rolls were perfect with it. The skinny fries were served with an herb garlic mayo I believe vs ketchup and 'perfect' is what they were. THESE are fries. A restaurant worth it all. Go, enjoy!!! read more

Holy freaking cow this place is amazing. The Honeynut Squash Ravioli and Yukon Potato Gnocchi were delectable mains. But they were well introduced by the Brie and Fig and Thyme Parker House Rolls. Rarely does an establishment make drinks as well as this food, but here they nail it. Both drinks were exceptional, mouthwatering, and amazingly well balanced. I had the Lavender Daisy and the Butternut Squash Sangaree and they were shockingly refreshing. The service was energetic and attentive. The inside is bright and relaxed and immediately puts you at ease. I love this place. read more

RATING 7.3/10 PRO TIP: Check in on yelp and get the Thyme Parker House rolls for free! This place does something quite well - a farm to table aspect that ensures you'll get fresh ingredients. More than a few vegan options. PARKER HOUSE ROLLS Good, not great. The acorn squash was on the sweeter side, which I wasn't expecting - but the bread itself was soft inside but the exterior didn't easily lend itself to being bitten, and just a touch tough. APPLE SHISO SODA Loved this, but you know I love a fancy drink. Non-alcoholic too! The shiso adds a nice heartiness to the soda. It's sweet but not saccharine. CHEESEBURGER People online have been raving about this cheeseburger. You can def taste the freshness and the bun is super soft. Double patty with cheese in the middle is just the way to go. But, it wasn't soooo amazing that I would put it on my top 5 burgers of NYC list. It's good, maybe even great! But I don't see myself needing to return just for this burger.

I was straying at the Arlo and ended up having both breakfast and lunch here. Lunch was excellent. I had a glass of Sangiovese and the gnocchi. The gnocchi was beautiful and came with giant pillows that melted in your mouth. I savored every bite! I topped the meal off with the peach crème brûlée which was also delicious. Breakfast the following day left a lot to be desired. I ordered a latte, pancakes and a side of bacon. The pancakes were very dense and thicker than the width of a knife. It did not taste very good and I wasn't able to finish it. I don't think the pancakes were a good representation of the quality at Lindens. I enjoyed my experience and lunch was quite memorable. The interior was clean and the service was excellent. I wish I could remember my waiter's name because he was amazing. read more

My top choice in SoHo! Lindens was very mouthwatering that I crave to go back again! We came for a quick lunch before heading to the airport. Very relaxing vibe and got sat quickly.

Their cheeseburger was flavorful and juicy. Wish I can try the breakfast and dinner, till next time. read more

I visited during happy hour, where they had four cocktail options (though one was unavailable), so I tried three. They also offer wine of the day and 1-2 beers. They also had oysters priced between $1.50 and $2 from the East and West Coast. The staff was friendly and fantastic! We also ordered the skinny fries, and they were delicious and huge! I would definitely return, but I took away a star because the cocktail selection was quite limited. read more

Came here for brunch and sat in the nice outdoor space. There are individual table umbrellas for shade but the area is uncovered. For drinks, I ordered the chrysanthemum spritz ($18) which was light and refreshing. For food, we ordered the thyme Parker house rolls to share, polenta and mushrooms for my entree and a side of bacon. The Parker house rolls were to die for - perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside with an herbed butter. The polenta and mushrooms was also a large size - I was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful the mushrooms and jus' was. I was a bit disappointed in the bacon though because it wasn't very crispy but that's personal preference. There was some awkwardness when getting seated outside with a bus boy since we wanted to switch to a table with shade but our waitress was very accommodating and attentive with our water refills. This place can be a bit on the expensive side since sides are ordered separately, but at least you will leave here full. read more

A gem in lower Manhattan/SoHo. Our server, José, was amazing and kept surprising us with things like anniversary champagne and a beautiful cherry dessert! We had the burger, half chicken, Giardiniera, and a "side" of shoestring fries. All very delicious! The portion of fries we got was monstrous.

I absolutely LOVED Lindens! I've heard a few people speak very highly of it and now I completely understand why. The restaurant is impeccably decorated and extremely invited. We were seated quickly and the service was extremely friendly. We weren't rushed, but they also didn't take too long with the food. I tried the egg white omelette which sounds boring, but it was incredibly flavorful. It's very clear that they source quality ingredients and it was both savory and filling. I also tried their shoestring fries which were seasoned to perfection. The person I was with also said that the green salad was in the top 5 they've ever had in their entire life, which makes me want to return soon! I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu, especially at different times during the day! read more
