OK, I know this post is a year old now, but I found you on a google search. I am relatively new to Lindisfarne, so I read with interest.
I ordered the Singapore noodles, and sweet and sour chicken. From that experience, my perception of reality would lie somewhere between the author of this blog and Anonymous from May 6. The Singapore Noodles were passable, but the sweet and sour sauce provided (on the side, thank goodness)was straight out of a bottle, thin and lame.
So it was good enough for a second visit, where I ordered another chef’s special, bbq spare ribs and then got really disappointed. Now I do not expect much from a suburban Hobart Chinese food restaurant (sorry, don’t mean to sound patronising), but this standard dish did not even resemble any version I have had previously. They were not barbecued, were in a pedestrian sweet sauce that did not resemble bbq sauce and were pretty much crap. Definitely not worth the $15.80(!) It should have been called ’wet chunks of pork in characterless, oily sauce with capsicum, onion and carrot"
Sorry, but it’s really not that hard to make decent food!

Thought I'd post a more recent review as we dined here last Wednesday.
I have to say I found it a pretty enjoyable experience, mainly as we were provided with a comedy style show in the form of Linda. I must mention one of our diners goes there quite often and is known to Linda, so she came out to speak to us and it just snowballed. I think our mutual sarcastic sense of humour was recognized straight away, and I must say we had a hoot! Observing Linda I watched her read the room and decide when it was appropriate to spend a lengthy amount of time at a table and when to keep her distance. Lovely that she checked with all how their meal was etc.
As for the meal, it was pretty darn good. Ive had heaps of bad chinese meals and this wasn't one of them. My won ton were beautiful as were the bbq pork and spring roll entrees. I had ordered honey chilli chicken but after being convinced by Linda to try the buck bow farn I was pleasantly surprised. I had deliberately avoided this dish as it's my favourite and no one does it as well as the Peking in Claremont, but if the Peking is a 10, Linda's managed a respectable 9. All vegies fresh and crispy, all meat tender and tasty.
All in all I found it a very decent Chinese meal and a very decent price.
