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.

    Surprisingly off night at Linwood's. Seated promptly and cordially. Waitress forgot to tell us about a special (soft shell crabs) that we overheard from another table and 3 out of 4 of us ended up ordering. Started with a special, gazpacho, which literally had no flavor. Crabs were good and sizable. Blueberry tart for dessert was mediocre at best. Not their best effort.

    Linwoods is our “go to” place. Food is perfectly prepared, served hot, and not too soon or too long. Server was attentive and pleasant.

    We usually go to Linwood's for special occasion dinners, but this time we had a friend in town and went for lunch. Great menu and service, as always. Think about it for lunch!

    This was our first time dining at Linwoods and we had an excellent experience! Drinks, apps, dinner and desserts were absolutely delicious and the icing on the cake for us was the wonderful service provided by Molly! She was a delight and we look forward to dining with you again!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Linwood’s. Our server, Stephanie, was warm and friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant, made good recommendations, attentive, and positively added to a delightful dining experience. I cannot say enough about the quality and deliciousness of the food, with my husband stating that the filet was a high quality of meat that was prepared perfectly. I recommend the crab cakes, exchanging the Ole Bay Chips for the White Truffle Fries, which are irresistible. The White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie was delicious and enough to share. I will order a Chocolate Martini at Linwood’s again, the best I have ever had. We will definitely be back.

    Fantastic dinner at Linwoods as always! The dining room was was quite busy for a Monday night but they didn’t miss a beat. Cocktails, service and food were all top notch. The ravioli, calamari and trout topped with crab imperial are all not to be missed. The dessert selections are incredible too, but always hard to narrow it down!!! Can’t wait to return again soon.
