How sad my return to German Village Lindey’s when I discovered that they no longer featured the “Rack of Lamb”; in it’s place was “Lamb Chops” that were basically the shanks, and my experience with the latter has usually been less than stellar. So I settled for the Tournedos, another one of my favorites at Lindeys, but asked them to bring me the crispy leeks with it (which was a featured in both lamb dishes) in place of the potatoes. It was quite good, but the steaks were a little larger than I remember them, or perhaps because they seemed so because I have been having the same dish over at Hyde Park Grill which is done so exquisitely, that I now prefer theirs. Perhaps you can tell that I tend to zero in on one main dish with which I have a great experience, and then return to the restaurant for that particular plate. I love recalling the finest things I have had in Columbus: in the summer of 07, Barcelona carried an exquisite “espresso encrusted t-bone, as aforementioned, I love Hyde Park Grille’s Tournedos, K2U carried the best calamari which Barcelona rivals (and K2U has been replaced by Wine Tapas bar), Miranova has a great lobster appetizer and unbelievable cheese course, and sometime ago, Handke’s featured the most amazing caesar salad in an asiago cheese basket and salmon tartar, also both appetizers. But German Village Lindey’s still possesses one of the finest ambiences in Columbus, so much so that I never regretted one moment in planning my wedding rehearsal dinner there. The sister restaurant at Polaris, which was open briefly, was no match for the artwork, elegance, and overall atmosphere of the Lindey’s in German Village.
