Mixed thoughts

THE WAIT-

Many times in the old building my husband and I tried to go to Lynnwood but there was always too long of a wait. Once we went really late and finally got in. The staff was great when we did and so was the food. So much so in fact that last night we decided to check them out at the new building thinking since they added so many more tables the wait wouldn't be as long. Found that to be the case :)

AMBIANCE-

The first thing I noticed when I went in was how ridiculously loud it was inside and the music seemed to echo off the walls too. Solution: Sit outside upstairs. Good choice overall, the temperature was nice and the facilities are nice up there, however, while better than inside, it was still too loud. I realize it's a bar and all but the point is to meet up with friends and unwind after a long hard day at the office and you have to REALLY yell at one another :(

FOOD-

From my previous experience I know they had good beer and "pub fare." I got beer, appetizers, and a salad because that's what I was craving. The salad was mediocre for the price. It was pretty fresh and it tasted good, it was just not really as much as you would expect to get of "rabbit food" for the price mainly. My husband got a little pizza. Now I knew they were famous for their pizza but I had just never tried it before. Let me say if you want a delicious pizza, this is the place to get it! ZOMGeee yummeh. So the morale of this story is don't get a salad, get a pizza :) Also on the list of things I recommend: pickle chips & dirty chips. I saw someone had complained about the salad dressing, I had plenty of dressing for both my salad and for dipping my appetizers...mind you I don't drown my food in dressing since I like to actually taste the food.

PRICE: A bit on the high side in my opinion.

So...in summary

The Good: nice rooftop dining, great pizza, beer and pub fare

The Bad: too loud!

The meh: salad, price

Clueless and unprofessional staff.

The staff is unprofessional. We just walked out as soon as we got in. I am surprised at the long wait times.

Disappointed in new location

by 3K at Citysearch

Let me first say I was a frequent customer at the old LG location. I loved the food, staff, and neighborhood feel. Despite the physical space of the new location being larger and nicer, many of the things that attracted me to LG were left behind at the old location--specifically a friendly staff, great service, and a feeling that you were welcome--and, most importantly, that they appreciated your business.

I've been to the new location a few times already and dealt with long waits for food and seating, rude host staff, and poor service. (I understand that the wait will be long for seating as people check out the new location but don't act like *you're* doing me a favor by letting me eat there.) I hope the new LG will work out whatever kinks are going on with staffing, food prep, and service because LG has been a local favorite.

It's starting to feel like the Cheesecake Factory (lots of hype and waiting for nothing)--just with better beer.

Worst experience ever....for the third time

by alv27 at Citysearch

The "new Lynwood" is terrible. I frequented the old one regularly and enjoyed it. I have visited the new location three times and the third time was the last. I had legitimate complaints and when I spoke to the manager, which I have never done in a restaurant before, he not only didn't seem to care, he actually insulted me. Our waitress was snotty, rude, and stupid. I have been in the service industry for many years. Waiting tables is not hard and rolling of the eyes is not necessary. Our order was wrong, the food was cold, I can go on and on. I know it won't affect their business, but none of my friends are satisfied either and word of mouth is a powerful thing.
