That means beautiful presentation, careful crafting, and perfect pairings to keep your night on beat. Combined with live music, this creates an unparalleled experience for the discerning and adventurous looking for a sophisticated evening.

It all began with a love story and a dream. Linwood, a chef, and Ellen, a reporter, met 36 years ago in a restaurant of course! They married and began to envision that someday they would open a restaurant of their own. The restaurant’s first business plan was written at their dining room table on an electric typewriter. In 1988 Linwoods opened its doors, and it has been a labour of love for more than thirty years. Linwoods’ cuisine consists of the freshest ingredients, and inventive preparation. Our service is warm and attentive. We have developed a reputation for consistency an attention to detail. These qualities are key to our catering business as well. Our team has worked hard to connect to our community, and we value our customers. These values have been central to Ellen and Linwood’s vision, and we hope are felt by our customers each day.

    Food, ambience and service was amazing. The hush puppies were a surprise favorite. Oysters were delicious. All of the staff were amazing and friendly. Our server Nathan was so attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Another place that will be on our permanent rotation of restaurants. We saw so many other dishes that we can’t wait to try.

    The greeting, food and service were excellent. I had the lobster grilled cheese and fries. The server was kind enough to give me a taste of a wine to help me decide between two. The decor and architecture are warm and upscale feeling. The interior is gorgeous.

    Fun girls’ holiday night out. 1/2 price wine on Monday! We shared salads and apps and everything was great. Paul was an excellent server. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Only downside - don’t sit at the window table when it is 20 degrees outside. 🥶❄️ That being said, it didn’t ruin our evening!
