"This burger is so good that it comes solo — just juicy beef patties, Dijonnaise, American cheese, and pickles on a bun (with a gluten-free bun option, too!). Make it a triple for $4 more or add bacon or an egg for $2 each. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be fry-less. You can order duck-fat fries for $10. Online ordering for carryout is available or snag a reservation on Tock." - Cinnamon Janzer
"Longfellow’s new neighborhood bistro serves a brunch menu of silky quiche; thick-cut cured bacon BLTs served on charred focaccia; French toast stuffed with rhubarb cream cheese; and shrimp katsu sandos, among other dishes. There’s an extensive brunch cocktail list, too, which pairs classic Bloody Marys and mimosas with spiked yerba mate and mezcalritas. On the way out, grab a jammy apple turnover from the pastry counter." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Lynette, Longfellow’s much-anticipated neighborhood bistro, is now open in the former Riverview Wine Bar space. A venture by Billie Conaway, Travis Serbus, Melissa and Ben Siers-Rients, and executive chef Brian Sharpe, the restaurant is an homage to Lyn65, the cozy, time-worn haunt that Serbus, Siers-Rient, and others carved out of a Richfield strip mall circa 2016. Highlights from the brunch menu include a silky quiche and a thick-cut cured bacon BLT; for dinner, there’s duck fat fries; braised short rib; crab risotto; roasted bone marrow spread on bread with ham and Gruyere; and more." - Eater Staff
"I saw that Longfellow’s Lynette rolled out a series of soft openings to give neighbors a taste of its bistro-like new menu, and coverage from Heavy Table highlighted standout dishes including an exceptionally creamy-looking quiche and a salted chocolate chip cookie." - Justine Jones
"I’m eager for Lynette, the new Longfellow restaurant from Billie Conaway, Travis Serbus, and Melissa and Ben Siers-Rients in the former Riverview Cafe and Wine Bar; with team members who worked at Petite León and Lyn65, I expect a similarly laid-back, time-worn vibe and bistro-like dishes such as fresh pasta, sourdough pizza, rotisserie chicken, and duck fat fries, plus wine and cocktails. The exact opening timeline hasn’t been set—I'll keep an eye on Instagram for updates." - Justine Jones
