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.

    We went here for Valentine’s Day and it was 6 of us. First when I called about the pre fixed menu Karrie was soooo friendly and informative on the phone. None of us have ever been there as we were hoping the reviews were as good as they said! We all ordered off the Prix fix menu. Started with salads. Caesar salad and the offshore collective salad were both delicious. The 3 men got the short rib. 2 of the girls for the Branzino fish. I got these tickets stuffed shrimp with pasta. Oh my goodness all of the entrees were awesome. Then the dessert that was included was to die for!!! It was Dulce de leche (chocolate) and it came with real whipped cream and strawberries! Delicious!!!! The service was great. And they even gave us a rose at the end of the night. The price was fantastic for everything you got! $99 for 2 people for all of that. We will definitely be back when the weather is warmer to see the water outside!!

    Victoria does not disappoint. Nothing fancy - just good food prepared well. Our waiter, a former chef, was exceptional. He knew the menu, made strong recommendations, and was attentive throughout the meal. You can’t go to Victoria without getting the duck fat fries. I was a little hesitant to sit out on the patio, but the area was warm and a bit less noisy than the rest of the restaurant. Since, we have moved, we don’t get to Victoria as much as we did in the past. However, when we make the trip, we can be assured of consistently good food and excellent service.
