About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
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.

    Always great food and service. Keri was excellent and the Bronzino was amazing. Save room for dessert (ice cream sundae is the best)!

    We went on a Monday at 5:30 so we were one of the first parties seated and it was quiet. There were only 2 of us so we got a corner table in the back of the restaurant. For an appetizer we had the pea salad and French onion soup which both were excellent. We ordered the single crab cake and the soft crabs for our entrees - both were excellent as well. Since it was my husband’s birthday they gave him a dessert with a single candle to celebrate. Service was excellent and by the time we left at 7 pm the restaurant was almost filled and the noise level was increasing. Always a great experience at Linwoods.

    The food was very good and the pricing did not seem unreasonable. But the service was what made the evening. Amanda was very good--attentive and prompt without being intrusive. would definitely go again!
