Came here for the 1st time for a team lunch with my coworkers. The venue is nice and the restaurant looks upscale, but the quality of the food was so so.
I had a Ginger Julep (with alcohol) which was refreshing. Couldn't tell you how much it cost because our boss paid for everything which made the whole dining experience a little more positive.
We also ordered an assortment of appetizers, skewers, shrimp etc... presentation was basic and for my main I had the homemade Panang Curry. I asked for mild but it was actually pretty spicy which is one thing I'll never understand.
Why does a meal have to be overloaded with spice? And I mean "hot" spice not the flavourful kind which I can appreciate. I like to actually taste what I'm eating and not have to worry about putting out the flame in my mouth.
Presented with my curry was a simply chicken breast sliced on an angle and plopped on the side of the plate. Again, pretty basic presentation.
In my opinion, I think Linda's is overrated but I've definitely had worse.
On a positive, the restaurant was pretty quiet for a Thursday lunch crowd (which I like), not packed which was surprising. Our waiter was nice too, a little overcompensating on the "trying to be funny" but nevertheless friendly.
