“We sat at the bar and enjoyed an outstanding evening at Linear. Bartenders Emma and Kat were fantastic to chat with and made delicious and generous cocktails. We shared the seasonal salad with strawberries, an appetizer of pork potstickers, and Cacio e Pepe with a side of wagyu beef. Every dish was well made and super tasty. This is a great spot to enjoy an evening out.”
“Came here with a 12 person party for a birthday! We all ended up coming at different times and the staff was very easy going and accommodating. The appetizers came out fast and hot although smaller portions everything was delicious. We loved the crab cakes so much we ordered a second round of them! Drinks were all hits, everyone enjoyed all the cocktails we ordered! I think we ordered every dessert they had available. Overall I keep thinking about this restaurant and comparing everything around to the time I came here ... My top restaurant of 2026 so far is hands down this place! Can't wait to return!!! Thanks so much!”
“Girls night out. We had reservations but the two of us chose to sit at the bar as there was availability. Despite it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was only about 50% occupied. Both bartenders were very conversational which we loved. Cocktails were lovely. The appetizer could have come with more bread imho. My flank steak was one of the best steaks I’ve had in a very long time. My girlfriend’s shrimp and grits were unfortunately too spicy for her liking. The bread pudding was delicious but I would have liked just a bit more of the sauce with it. Would definitely return to try out other menu items. Street parking is never fun but we did find a decent space.”
“Food: solid! We got the garlic shrimp, garden salad, fried mozzarella and crème brûlée. Service: Kaylee (spelling?) was sweet. Food was prepared quickly and without issue. Atmosphere: it’s a cute vibe. 4/5 stars because the food it good, but not spectacular. I’d return for a drink and an app.”
“Great First Visit – Enjoyable with Minor Improvements Needed** This was our first time visiting this town, recommended by a friend, and we had a great experience overall! The atmosphere was fantastic—a perfect spot to hang out and relax. The only downside was the ongoing construction nearby, which slightly affected the vibe, but without it, the place would’ve been even better. The service was friendly and attentive, and they had a good selection of drinks. The food was delicious, though nothing particularly stood out compared to other similar spots. The main reasons I’m giving a 4-star rating instead of 5 are: 1. **Limited Menu Options** – Many highly recommended dishes we were excited to try weren’t available, which was a bit disappointing. 2. **Good but Not Exceptional Food** – While everything tasted great, nothing truly wowed us or felt unique compared to other restaurants in the area.”
