About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
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 is tasty and creative, however one of the four dishes we ordered was virtually without taste - so I have given three stars for Value. The ambiance is okay, if a little cookie-cutter in décor. The kitchen is exposed to the dining area -which one supposes is cutting edge -but it was under-lit, almost dark, which diminishes the dramatic effect.
