    Pretty good food, not bad! Service was good as well Very happy they condensed their menu because it used to be overwhelming before lol. And my L.I.T was actually hitting

    I've come to this diner a few times, and it's pretty solid. We came here for breakfast but their whole menu was pretty much available. Some people got buttermilk pancakes (the kids got ice cream on top), while others got a burger, the captain's feast, and I just got an omelette with their home fries. The omelette was ok, but I'm a big fan of their fries. The atmosphere was chill. I've seen the lines get long later in the day.

    Great service with even greater food. Had a lovely time with my fam for breakfast. We were greeted upon arrival with smiles. Then seated. Scrolled the menu and they had so many options to choose from. Waitress was so kind and patient. She asked all the right questions and also gave all the right answers and information. The place was spacious and clean. I appreciate a nice establishment. Will be back and would love service from the same wait staff. Thanks

    Let me say this first: the servers and customer service are the BEST. I honestly wish every place had service like this. They deserve raises -- you can tell they're genuinely happy to be at work, and that kind of positive energy makes a huge difference. The diner is clean, beautifully decorated, and even the bathroom is nice with great music playing in it. Now for the food experience... unfortunately, it wasn't great. I ordered the Latino Grill for Two and asked for no tomatoes because my sister is allergic. It still came with tomatoes. I requested my skirt steak medium rare, and it came well done. On top of that, the food and veggies were cold. We ate a little and took the rest home to warm up ourselves. The manager came over to ask how everything was, and I was honest about being unhappy with the food being wrong and cold. I suggested that if they're going to serve this dish, it needs to come out on a sizzling hot plate. He suggested putting a top on it, but that won't help -- a lid won't fix cold food. The flavor was good, but I don't recommend this dish unless it's served on a hot plate. It's a waste of money to order food in a restaurant only to have to take it home to heat it up. I go out to eat in the restaurant, not to warm up my food later. You received 3 stars for the customer service, wonderful servers and the clean environment.

    This honestly has to be one of the most consistent spots around. I have literally been here over 100 times and I've never had a bad experience with the food or service! I love the fact that a lot of the staff are the same from when I first started going in 2011. That tells me that they likely take care of their people. The service is always friendly, quick, and efficient and the manager Frankie is such a sweetheart. They've def upgraded the decor in here with some nice graffiti style paintings, true to Brooklyn/NY. There is plenty of space and they even have outdoor for when it's nice out. If you've never been here you are missing out (especially on the Cajun crab legs!). If you HAVE been here then you know and will attest that nothing about their food is diner quality! It's wayyy above it! Also, the portion sizes and price point are great! You def will not leave hungry. This review covers my 4 visits in the last month. Drinks: my go to is always the frozen mango coconut margarita. It never disappoints. I've also had the sangrita, blue passion, and palmarita recently, they were good but the mango coconut marg still my fave. Prices average $16-18. Food: I've literally never had a bad dish here except for the jerk wings. The baked clams have to be the best in BK! They are to die for! Every. Single. Time! The Cajun crab legs are also amazing! You can get it as an app for $16 per cluster or they have it has meal and seafood boil options. The buffalo wings, Seafood scampi, seafood fra diavolo, chicharrones with rice and beans (daily special menu), spaghetti and meatballs (daily special menu), baby back ribs are all honorable mentions. I'm pretty sure the chef put his/her foot in those beans! Why did I order 2 extras!

    Crab legs
    Jaida F.

    A Brooklyn staple in the crest of ENY, they make you feel like family as soon as you step in the door. Hostess and servers are cheery, funny and incredibly sweet. There was a bit of a wait to order since I went with a big party and it was the holiday season. But it didn't even feel like an issue because I was having such a good time with my family. Y'all know how much I love my seafood AND they do claim to have the best crab legs in BK CAN CONFIRM! I also shared some of the seafood fettuccini with my mom and that too was really good! A beautiful medley of the sea, with scallops, clams, mussels, baby shrimp and crab legs. If you've never been here, rectify that soon!

    Seafood Scampi
    Iasantewaa T.

    The Carrot Cake Ruined It. I was this close to giving Lindenwood Diner a full five stars. Like hand hovering over the screen close. And then... the carrot cake happened. Let me start with the good because there is a LOT of good here. I went twice in the past two weeks because I try my best not to judge a place off one visit. Consistency matters. And baby, Lindenwood Diner is consistent. The Seafood Scampi is a must. Fresh clams, muscles, a good portion of crab with claws included. It's that girl period! The char grilled burgers awesome as well. Juicy, seasoned, cooked how you ask. The salad with the homemade French dressing is elite. I need that recipe. The coffee is endless, as diner coffee should be. The fried shrimp and the fish and grits were okay, not life changing but quality and solid. Everything is made to order and came out fresh. I also like that the menu is very diverse and inclusive. Customer service also deserves a shout. We had a small hiccup and the manager fixed it immediately. No attitude. No excuses. Just solutions. Love that. Now... the cake. I was literally walking out, minding my business, when I saw another patron eating the carrot cake. It looked GOOD good. So I doubled back like, let me grab a slice. Big mistake. The cake tasted like a boxed spice cake pretending to be carrot cake. The frosting did not taste like cream cheese frosting. And the shredded carrots on the outside felt like a costume, not an ingredient as the cake itself was plain. It was simply not the carrot cake I was hoping for and for 9 bux, I was a bit let down. If you have a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and order the pineapple coconut cake or the strawberry cheesecake and leave the carrot cake exactly where it is. That said, parking is free, portions are big, service is great, and everything else absolutely hits. So yes, four stars. Because if that carrot cake had minded its business, this would have been a clean five.

    Ackee and saltfish
    Anthony D.

    As always service was great. They do a good job making you feel at home. Today I tried the ackee and salt fish. It was really really good. It came with yucca fries and garlic oil. I also had a side of salmon hash. That was also good.

    Perfection
    Philip Z.

    You know as soon as you walk in and get a 'good morning!' It's just better here. The food is delicious. The service is professional. The servers act as if you are family. The place is beautiful. It's just BETTER here. I don't know how, or why. Just is.

    Great place for the family to enjoy. The breakfast was wonderful. We were immediately seated, did not have to wait long for our food and beverage. The price was reasonable.

    Lindenwood Diner & Restaurant don't ever disappoint. Delicious fresh food. Think of this diner as a international diner of food options and choices. Service is always excellent and right on point. Bartender makes delicious drinks. My piña colada was on the money honeyyyy. It's always clean. Booth seating, bar seating and seating outsdie The bread basket is good.

    Kisha V.

    I love coming to this diner for some delicious food and a good drink. This where I had my first drink when I was 21. Excited to pull out my id. Service is always great and friendly. Extremely clean. Spacious. Love this diner so much

My fellow yelpie Jeannie has been raving about their duck à la pressie for ages and we finally organized an outing so she can share her love of Tourmaline and the duck with us. Thank you Jeannie. The duck in itself deserves an award. You can tell that Yvan the head chef and owner has put so much detail into creating this magnificent dish for his customers. From picking the perfect farm to order the duck from in PA, to purchasing the machinery for churning out the sauce from the bones and internals of the duck, to incorporating different aspects of duck preparations from different cultures (French Normandy, Chinese roast duck) and teaching to Daniel in the city for some tips. You know Yvan has put his heart and soul into this one dish. I love how this dish is prepared table side by the chef himself with so many different stories and presentations. He starts off the duck with a serving of the perfect tot crispy skin served with his seasonal sauce. We had rhubarb. We were the stars of the room with everyone envying us. I can't recommend this experience enough. Worth every penny! In addition to the duck, we ordered some apps, salad and a fish dish. The seasonal cocktail Noveau Peach so refreshing and delish and dessert wine was a perfect accompaniment to the desserts. The atmosphere or the restaurant was cozy and high end. Lots of couples on cute romantic dates. The owners Yvan and Rebecca are the sweetest. I met Rebecca at our building bbq that they catered and she was just so lovely. Mentioned to her that we were going to see her the following week and she remembered me. Definitely check out Tourmaline. A true gem in FH and so happy to have them here.

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.
