I had an amazing time here with my girlfriend. The view is absolutely beautiful, and the inside is just as stunning. It has such a classy and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to sit back and enjoy every moment. The burger I had was really tasty, and the drinks were just as impressive. I would definitely recommend trying a few while you’re here. Our server was super friendly and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of the entire time. It’s a peaceful spot with a quiet atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing morning if you want to get away from the city for a bit. The area it’s located in is beautiful and adds to the overall charm. I would definitely recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself.

Linnette’s is a gorgeous place to meet up with friends for drinks and a meal. Located on a resort, there isn’t much to do after or before visiting the restaurant. They had complimentary valet parking. The service was wonderful and the drinks were powerful. The tricky part for me was that since we went during restaurant week, we got a great value for our meal but while good there just wasn’t anything I would say someone had to get. Definitely a cute spot though.

The environment is lovely. It feels authentic and perfect for the South Carolina coastal area. Jessica was an amazing server and made us feel welcome. The food was all amazing. The pickled shrimp was really delicious. The valet recommended the Duck and Dumplings, and he was spot on! The cobbler was delicious, too!

Linnette's is a beautiful, cozy and intimate restaurant overlooking the marsh on John's Island. It has a robust menu and super wine list, and the atmosphere is light and airy.

Stayed at the Dunlin and excited for a great dinner. We went right when it opened, but they clearly had not worked the bugs out. We were excited to go a year later and give it another shot. The space is nice and the service was good. They even sent out a special treat as we were celebrating a birthday. That was very nice, but the food was incredibly disappointing. The menu was difficult to find any real stars…but what we did order was just not nice. My meal was the saltiest I’ve ever been served. Not only was the pork roullade super salty..the stratchiatella and peach salad was super salty too. My wife’s oyster were ok, but her main was majorly over seasoned (ricotta gnuddi) and was not very nice. We will give it another try but not for a while.

Fantastic! The decor is absolutely lovely. The view from the upper porch, where we dined, was beautful and not too hot! Drinks— fantastic. Wine list— fantastic. All four dinners— fantastic with the porchetta and crab fried rice being the winners. The BEST crab dip with fried saltines— so much crab meat, we all agreed it was the best we’ve ever had (and I grew up going to Chesapeake Bay and eating a ton of crab!). Our service was perfect. We will be back!

My mom and I stayed at the Dunlin for a girl’s get away back in June. We ate at Linnette’s for breakfast and dinner during our stay and had the best experience. In the morning we had Eric as our waiter who was so personable. We enjoyed talking with him and all of his food recommendations were spot on!! The night ambience was perfect as well, and enjoyed all the wait staff. The atmosphere felt very down-to-earth. Can’t wait for another trip back!

Absolutely wonderful! From the very kind and gracious host, to the talented and friendly bartender, to the attentive and accommodating wait staff, the service was first class. The drinks and meals were absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed the beautiful setting on the screened porch. A beautiful restaurant and setting. I would highly recommend and I look forward to our return.

Wonderful in every way! Our family of 8 went dinner at Linnette's tonight to celebrate my husband's birthday. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was great, the food was delicious. We couldn't ask for better service. We even had our busy 1 year old grandson with us & they were so kind & helpful with him. This was truly a beautiful, special experience. And we got a beautiful family picture after with stunning scenic views.

The brunch was fantastic! The chocolate chip pancakes were a hit at the table! The whole menu, you cannot go wrong with such a variety to choose from. The staff were very friendly. The color scheme inside the restaurant, gave costal beach vibes- perfect for photos.

Tucked away from the crowds, escape into sophistication. This restaurant has breathtaking views, and an extraordinary service. Great place for a nice very quiet brunch or dinner.

Beautiful restaurant with direct Kiawah River views. The service and staff are friendly and attentive. The food is beautifully presented and the kitchen is taking great pride and care that guests are happy.

What a gorgeous view. Went for brunch. The Caesar + blue crab was good. Asked for "no croutons" and got croutons anyway. Didn't want to delay meal so pushed it to the side but I expect a simple request like that to be followed when dining at this price point. Easy parking. Would dine there again.

We celebrated my partner's 30th birthday here on a little date. Since we were not staying in the Dunlin (the hotel that Linette's is inside of), we had a little bit of a trek from downtown. Definitely be careful if you plan to drive at night, because the roads of John's Island are DARK. If I had the option, a 6:30 reservation would have been great to catch the sunset and get home before it got late. Beautiful atmosphere but not too stuffy. My partner described it as "coastal chic". Whatever you want to call it... the food was wonderful. The hamachi tuna was good, the warm crab dip was good - it was a little chilly by the door with the door open so "warm" was exactly what I needed. The steak was incredible as well.

Waited at least 20 minutes for the waiter to take our initial drink order. Then he totally missed one person in our 6 person party and disappeared before we could say anything. When the drinks arrived, my bourbon rocks was a Manhattan. He finally took our 6th persons drink order and took back the unordered Manhattan. About 15 minutes later my bourbon arrived with #6s drink. He left again and about 15 minutes later he came back to take the dinner order. 5 of us ordered the flounder .It was passable. Nothing the least special or exciting. After one in our party chased down waiter for our 3 bills, all arrived with errors. Corrected them paid the bill and left. Not to return.

Linnette's is a beautiful restaurant with stunning views. We sat on the screened porch for breakfast. It was delicious and the food was all locally sourced. The service was excellent as well. The waitress checked on us several times. I did take away one star because I think the food is seriously overpriced. Two of us each got the scrambled egg plate and a mimosa. We shared one side of grits. The bill was just shy of $100. Be sure to check the menu and prices before you go so that you're prepared!

The food was delightful, and the service was impeccable! Every bite was a joy, and the staff went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. It was a fun night!

Great atmosphere. Love the decorations and the vibe. Staff is all very attentive and kind. Toddler friendly! Beautiful views. Wonderful flavors for all dishes and drinks we had. Time for food to arrive at the table was slow we got there at 5:45 we got an app but we didn't receive our entrees til after 7 which would be no issue if we didn't have a toddler. One of the entrees was cold. The dessert portion was small for the price but the flavors were great (key lime) Overall we had a great meal and were very appreciative of the welcoming feeling we felt from all the staff.

Service was great. Great views and clean restaurant. Food was good but nothing worth detailing. No complaints.

I begin with hospitality and excellent customer service, followed by an extensive wine list created by their SOMMELIER Drew. Juleon the bartender is really a mixologist by talent. Really cool atmosphere giving ambience the ultimate in class! Appetizers Low Country style with the best display of variety. I plan to visit on a regular basis because it's everything one would want in a fine dining experience

Located at The Dunlin Hotel. The restaurant and bar space has great views. We stopped in for a cocktail and while overall, we enjoyed our experience, I will say there was one disappointment. My wife ordered a lemon drop martini, and I ordered a glass of wine. The Martini filled barely half the glass, and it was one of the lightest pours of wine. I have seen in very long time. I have a lot of experience in the wine industry, and I know how much wine should be in a glass. This one was noticeably light. I spent a lot of time in the wine industry and I've been in Napa wineries a couple hundred times, I know how much wine should be in a glass and there was no mistaking the attempt to "extend the bottle". Will probably give this another visit, but when I'm spending $60 for a cocktail and a glass of wine, give me some value.

how do you write a review of a restaurant that has a beautiful setting, great food and the worst service in living memory. based on ambiance and food this restaurant has all the qualities to be 5 star and the service was so bad it took it to 1 star. we did talk to them and offered advice to help improve but we will not be going back.

Average food, slow service, poor follow up. Way over priced. That said, the view is fabulous and the restaurant is beautiful. Great place for a cocktail to watch the sunset but that's about all.

From reservations to valet to waitstaff, the service here was remarkably genuine and warm. Our lunch was delicious and the cocktails were tasty and inventive. You cannot beat the view from the dining room; can't wait to come again for dinner at sunset. Bravo to all of the staff, we will certainly be back.

If you are an Auberge loyalist, don't go here. Serious kinks need to be worked out - incl speed of service (nearly an hour for our first drinks), quality of food (bland, overcooked, over sauced) and attentiveness of staff (poor). Venue and views (if you get the right table) are the only redeeming factors.
