It seems like we have been trying to get to Batuqui forever. After finally making it happen we will most definitely not waste any time getting there for a repeat visit. We made a reservation for our visit and were thrilled to be seated at a table right at the front window overlooking the porch and outdoor dining area. As it was a bit of a chilly evening we loved the view and the comfort of the dining area. This also gave us the benefit of being served by Tiffany who was welcoming, wonderfully attentive, and very knowledgeable! Lovely service was the first success of this amazing meal.

We started with a plate of Pao de Queijo – little round cheesebread bites – bites of deliciousness – accompanied with delightful salads – the Bossa Nova and the Palmita. We rounded this course out with a glass of red wine (guest) and a caipirinha (mine, one of the best I’ve ever tasted).

For our meals we selected the Feijoada and Picanha Acebolada. Both dishes were substantial, both were perfectly prepared, both were delicious. We had each chosen four items for our entree selections so we made the decision to start at the top of the listings figuring we’ll work our way down the menu on subsequent visits. Dilemma solved! But, there is also a daily specials menu so it is probable that the menu and its possible combinations will never be exhausted!

While the dessert list was inviting we were both completely and fully satiated and knew we would not be able to enjoy desserts this visit. Next time we’ll save room.

From Lindey’s web page: Farm to Table. Fresh. Local.

From our page: Gluten-free options too.

Headed over to Lindey’s Lake House at La Place in Beachwood with a bit of gluten-free “new restaurant” anxiety. As it turns out nervousness was totally unnecessary.

After being greeted by our server, Mo, I stated out my g-f necessity and asked if he could steer me toward accommodations. He was amazingly knowledgeable about both my needs and the entire menu – limitations and availabilities.

As it was ‘Happy Hour’ he suggested we try the Leo’s Lemonade made with vodka distilled in Columbus – corn based – absent gluten. The drink was super! From the salad menu I chose the Shaved Brussel Sprout salad – one of two g-f options (the other being the chopped salad) . The sprouts salad was amazing. The guac and shishito pepper small plates were recommended as options but I passed on appetizers for this meal. For my entree I chose to go with tacos – two of the options on the menu are g-f. As one of my dinner companions was also interested in the tacos we ordered the Mahi-Mahi and the Steak options. We shared. Both options were super delectable! I’ve not been able to recall what other options on the menu were available but as we rounded out the meal with coffee we, all four, agreed that we’d be back to Lindey’s to try more of the menu.

Stay tuned for updates. Better yet check it out and post us a comment. And if you like, ask for Mo. He’s great!
