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.

    As usual, top notch service and innovative food was the rule this evening. Their 6 course prix fixe menu was a bargain at $99 a person. Each unique dish was expertly prepared and delivered to the table with perfect spacing. The Christmas setting was a wonderful touch that went well with the snowy surroundings. All in all a special treat that will be remembered for a long time.

    Our favorite restaurant in Catonsville. The drinks are amazing (smoky old fashion), the food delicious and generous portions - we had the wedge salad and amazing arctic char with savory green beans and nice cheesy risotto. But best of all was our server - he’s a real pro. Makes everyone feel special and appreciated.

    The greeting, food and service were excellent. I had the lobster grilled cheese and fries. The server was kind enough to give me a taste of a wine to help me decide between two. The decor and architecture are warm and upscale feeling. The interior is gorgeous.
