Neighbourhood gem

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.

Linwoods consistently delivers on every facet of a fine fining experience. It is typically busy but never boisterous. Comfortable seating with enough separation for intimacy if needed. The servers are professional and polished. From drinks through dessert everything is perfectly crafted. Nothing is just average or fine. This is one of the rare restaurants where you actually get your money’s worth. By the way, if you’re a chocoholic get the old fashioned ice cream sundae with extra chocolate sauce on the side. Heaven.

Always a great experience at Linwoods. Food is reliably delicious and wholesome. Flexible with modifications and always looking to please the customer. Linwoods is always bustling with a great vibe, but still quiet enough to have a conversation at your table. I was a little disappointed with an error or two in our order but overall still terrific. Overcharge was quickly corrected and wrong dish was fixed within minutes. The pineapple martinis are the best in the land so I hope those never go away. Desserts are always top notch.

You can always count on Linwood's to have a high quality experience. Staff is friendly and efficient. This visit was for lunch and the food taste did not reach the level I am used to in the evening. It has become a bit pricey.
