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.

    In general, even your favorite restaurants disappoint on occasion. Barrett’s is the exception. Every single time I have dined there, whether for lunch or dinner or a larger private event, it’s the same. Creative specials, attentive and personable service, proteins consistently cooked exactly right and half-price wine bottles two days per week!! I have definitely paid more for meals that did not meet that standard. I especially love that when they prepare blackened fish, they respect the delicate flavor of the fish instead of making it a contest to blow out your palate with heat. Please just keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep coming back!

    Pappas has been a "go to" restaurant for many years whenever we are in "town" (4-5 times per year) and has always provided excellent food and service at a reasonable price; however, this visit brought higher menu prices and without any improvement in service or quality of the standard crabcakes. In fact, I believe that quality of the crab meat utilized has been down graded and was slightly disappointed after many years of consistent quality. Hopefully, this was an isolated instance and not a picture of the future.
