Linwoods

Excellent evening for me and my hubby. He did the roasted chicken; I had the Tuna, and we had the apple tart. Everything was great. Our waitress was very attentive and bubbly. We went at 8pm and was pleased to be seated in the main dining area, which we always prefer (We went through a period of being seated in an overflow area - not sure if overflow is what it’s called). We will continue to patronize Linwoods. They’ve always delivered food and service exceptionally well.

Very elegant. I think the atmosphere is more of a main attraction. With that said the desserts are amazing, the wine selection provides great variety, and the main courses are typically satisfying entrees.

Lately, I'm reserving 5 star reviews for places that exceed my expectations. I had pretty high expectations for Linwoods, and they exceeded my high expectations. First of all, I really like linen table cloths, but I rarely see them in outdoor venues. A fresh linen table cloth is very reassuring, especially during a pandemic. Our server, Holly, was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The menu, often a source of infectious particles, was printed on paper and was disposable. I know that for sure because Holly crumpled them up when she collected them after we ordered. The menu items were a bit pricey, but reasonable for such a nice venue. I had French onion soup. It was excellent. I enjoy French onion soup, and I have ordered it at lots of restaurants. This French onion soup was among the best I have ever had. For my entrée, I had a cheeseburger. It was large, juicy, and it was prepared just the way I wanted it. It was delicious. There was not a separate person to bus our table, but Holly was just as good at removing items that we no longer needed as she was at bringing our next items to the table. I was quite impressed by our whole dining experience, and I heartily recommend Linwoods.

Linwoods has a tasteful and simple ambiance, that clearly confirms its upscale identity. We ordered the Brussel Caesar as a starter which was enough for two. It was perfectly crispy and had a great balance of savory flavors. We had the Branzino and Sea bass for our entrees; both were delicious, however, I wished I was the one who ordered the Branzino. Dessert was their complimentary Birthday Dark Chocolate S'mores and the pecan tart, I enjoyed both but the pecan tart was a highlight for me. In being present, I forgot to take a picture of the pecan tart initially, hence the picture below.
