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.

11/28/25 Everything was exceptional , from the staff to the food to the atmosphere. Just one small problem. Your bathroom is too small. And one of the sinks in the bathroom did not work. My son and I had an excellent time. Your stuff went beyond and above from any other restaurant that I have experienced. I would recommend roof Chris to everyone. R Martin.

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Citron and it was wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our server, Will, was personable and knowledgeable. I had been to Citron before, but my two companions had not, and both are eager to return.

Quite literally the best crab omelette I've ever eaten. The ambiance and decor are pitch-perfect: not too formal, with just enough elegant simplicity to add to the overall experience. The staff are knowledgeable professionals who know how to set and serve a table. Gertrude's is my go-to when friends and family visit, or when I want a dining experience that is a cut above!
