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.

    The food, service and presentation was fantastic and made for a wonderful experience. My only reservation was the dinning area felt a bit congested, and as a result, felt a bit confined and challenging to hear at times. This aspect was unfortunate to an otherwise great experience.

    The fish tacos were perfectly crispy, with fresh toppings and a delicious sauce that brought everything together. The birria tacos were incredibly flavorful—tender, juicy, and packed with rich, savory goodness. Both were absolutely amazing, and I’d come back just for them!

    I went on Valentine’s Day. I arrived earlier than my reservation and had a short wait to be seated. Once seated the waiter was very pleasant. We ordered the prime rib and the crab cake and it was very delicious. We will return.
