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.

    Two of us went on a Wednesday at 5 pm and were the first to be seated except customers at the bar. We had calamari for and appetizer- which they split at no extra charge. Crab cake and veal for entree and shortcake with ice cream and fruit for dessert. We were out by 6:15 at no rush. Good service and quiet dinner.

    Very disappointing -been coming there for years.But to serve greasy fish at $48 is not Linwoods style-had this dish several times in the past but this was ordinary-not attractive and a very small portion-drove an hour but will not do it again! Brought out of town guests who used to live in Balto-they agreed about the poor presentation and burned pizza-so sorry to see this place go down hill

    I have been coming to Linwoods for 30 years, and my husband and I have been coming here for 15 years. It has always been one of our favorite restaurants - excellent foot, a very warm, friendly environment. Several years ago, ownership and management of the restaurant changed, and while the food is still good, the atmosphere has significantly changed for the worse, and we have felt this way for some time. On this last visit, we were told that our favorite waitress who has waited on us for years, was "not working that night". We later found out that she had left due to being harassed by other servers and management. This was very disheartening since she was such an excellent server. We will probably continue to come here as long as the food quality stays the same, but it will definitely be less that we have in the past, and the visits we do make will probably not be anticipated in the same way.
