    We were a large group for lunch - 11 of us, so please factor that into the following comments. The service was a bit slow, from ordering drinks to receiving them, same for the food. But all the drinks AND the food came out together. No one was waiting for their order. So, kudos for that. It was a beautiful day, and they arranged for the group to sit outside, but there was only a single umbrella that would have shaded 4 of us, while the others would have been in the bright sun at 1pm, so we opted for inside. The quality of the drinks & food was excellent. I would definitely recommend Linden's and would happily return, but perhaps in a more manageable size group.

    A reliably good experience. Started with delicious wellfleet oysters, shared the grilled asparagus and the blackened fish tacos. All the food was fresh and delicious. The Saturday night bartender mixes a great drink. I'll be back again for sure, especially for their daily happy hour
