    Excellent food, service, and Christmas decor! I recommend the crab cake appetizer, lobster bisque, filet medallions (tonight’s special), and their Christmas chocolate butter cake.

    Haven’t been in years. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t so good this night. Both the calamari and steaks were tough. Calamari was likely overcooked. The steak was just not good meat. I’ve learned that Linz is generally not very good beef. All my bad steak experiences in recent years were at restaurants where Linz supplied the beef.

    The food was amazing. The staff also made this an excellent experience. My server Tyler was the best. Tyler suggested the pot pie soup. It was totally delicious. After dinner Tyler took the time to take our photo (outside). The view itself was breathtaking. Thanks you Tyler, you made our day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND….
