I've reviewed Casa Linda previously but our fabulous experience last evening has prompted me to add to my review. As always, service and food were both outstanding, as was the ambiance! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. In our many visits, it has never disappointed. Last night, after sharing the Drunken Mussels, my Chicken Cordon Bleu was exceptional! Truly the best I've ever had! My husband had the Pasta Carbonara with Chicken which was excellent. We finished by sharing a Creme Brule. Perfect! Ana, Diana, and Francisco made us feel so welcome and provided excellent service. All sanitary protocols were followed. It was a lovely experience in every way! Muchos gracias!
Visited again Friday night and it was truly exceptional! Five stars for food, service and ambiance! Magdalena took excellent care of the four of us. 2/1 margaritas. Bacon stuffed mushrooms, carpaccio, mussels un white wine and butter. Clam chowder in a fresh bread bowl. Duck salad, pork filets, pasta carbonara. Creme brulee and chocolate cake. The only challenge was deciding what to choose to order from the plentiful options of awesome food. Unfortunately the restaurant was nearly empty on a Friday night, although it was Dua de Muertos so perhaps that had something to do with it.
You're truly missing an amazing dining experience is you don't try Casa Linda. It is OUTSTANDING in every way. They even have parking. Go! You will not be disappointed.
Lovely dinner! Excellent food and service. Sat on the patio and it was...
Read moreNestled in a charming corner of town, Casa Linda offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a delightful meal. While my experience had its ups and downs, there are certainly standout moments worth highlighting.
The French onion soup, while it had potential, fell a bit short of my expectations. The broth, though rich, lacked the depth of flavor I hoped for, making it a tad disappointing compared to the authentic experience I was anticipating.
However, the meal quickly turned around with the asparagus wrapped in cured ham—it was excellent! The freshness of the asparagus paired beautifully with the savory notes of the ham, creating a dish that was both simple and sophisticated.
Then came the mushroom caps stuffed with cheese, which were absolutely extraordinary. Each bite was a delight, with the earthy richness of the mushrooms perfectly complemented by the gooey, melted cheese. It was the kind of dish that makes you want to linger a little longer and savor every bite.
This local favorite is a blending authentic flavors with a cozy classful atmosphere. While the soup might not have hit the mark, the other dishes certainly made the...
Read moreAbsolutely the worst experience in any restaurant in at least 10 years.
Most of the waitresses seemed "fair" (they did at least the minimum), however, the first waitress at our table did not even take my order until others at the table had to bring it to her attention. Then she finally did bring the food, but without anything to drink (which had been ordered at the same time as the food). No one came to check on our table until I was done eating, and we had to actively get the attention of a different waitress to bring something to drink. The other waitress did bring the drink in a reasonable amount of time, but I had already finished the meal before it arrived.
Then, there was the food. The omelette was undercooked, and the hash browns were cool and very wet (I have never neen served soggy hash browns before).
Within two hours of eating, I had an acute fever, acute nausea and subsequent diarrhea consistent with enterotoxin "food poisoning."
Unlike many similar restaurants where a manager or often the owner will go around and check how things are going. I saw no one who...
