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.

We ordered from the brunch menu. I had the Breakfast Fried Rice. It was a large portion and very delicious! My friend got the Fittata Omlette which is always her favorite.

Quite literally the best crab omelette I've ever eaten. The ambiance and decor are pitch-perfect: not too formal, with just enough elegant simplicity to add to the overall experience. The staff are knowledgeable professionals who know how to set and serve a table. Gertrude's is my go-to when friends and family visit, or when I want a dining experience that is a cut above!

Linwoods consistently delivers on every facet of a fine fining experience. It is typically busy but never boisterous. Comfortable seating with enough separation for intimacy if needed. The servers are professional and polished. From drinks through dessert everything is perfectly crafted. Nothing is just average or fine. This is one of the rare restaurants where you actually get your money’s worth. By the way, if you’re a chocoholic get the old fashioned ice cream sundae with extra chocolate sauce on the side. Heaven.
