Lynette

I really wanted to love this restaurant. I really really wanted to love this restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed but classy. The location is very convenient. The service was impeccable. The food missed the mark. We tried a variety of things on the menu, and ashamed to say the only thing we'd order again is the shrimp. I had been looking forward to this risotto I kept reading about, but it fell flat and was barely reminiscent of a risotto. The crab was all but non-existent and the base was watery instead of creamy - like there was too much chicken broth. We had gone on a Wednesday when they have the gluten free fried chicken. It was not what I was expecting, but very edible. The fries were good. I think due to the atmosphere and menu on paper I was expecting a Del Prado level of food, and that was not a fair expectation of the restaurant. I applaud the amount of gluten free items on the menu and how knowledgeable the staff was about food allergies. Our waiter was phenomenal. At some point we will try again because I think the restaurant has a lot of potential - and a lot of gluten free options.

Such a perfect Saturday brunch spot! We sat outside on the cozy patio — the vibe was relaxed and full of weekend energy. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The breakfast burrito was packed and delicious, the savory toast with herbs and eggs was a standout, and the latte was smooth and perfectly made. Service was friendly, food came out quickly, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. Highly recommend for a laid-back, tasty start to your weekend!

Glorious patio!!! In a busy area but very cozy and private. Delicious food and good NA options! The $1.00 ice cream is such a sweet bonus. The rabbit was tender and savory.

Don’t skip the coconut braised eggplant hummus! WOW what a unique and flavorful dish. As other reviews mention, Lynette also does a fantastic burger and the duck fat fries with Bèarnaise sauce were so crispy & tasty. All available at a discounted price on happy hour too :) Great neighborhood vibe and attentive friendly staff. Also loved the pride flag!

This place has really found its footing and hit its stride. Fried chicken on Wednesday is a fun treat. The Caesar salad with crispy soft poached egg is lovely, goes great with the beef tartare. The sea bass ponchartrain special was leagues beyond what you’ll find at other neighborhood spots.

Food was delicious! The newest iteration is a vast improvement over the previous spot. Everything is so much more open and the flow is great, not to mention the HUGE patio! Happy hour is great, and the wings are on point!

This place is perfect for happy hour! The drinks are amazing, crafted with care, and always hit the spot. I was thrilled to see that some of the classic menu items from Lyn65 were carried over – a nice touch for loyal fans. The atmosphere is inviting, making it an ideal spot to relax with friends and enjoy great food and drinks. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the mood for something familiar yet exciting!

A very intriguing location warm family diner. Tried their ginger miso caramel latte. Definitely an acquired taste but still impressive nonetheless. The pizza was a decent size for the price. Breakfast sandwich is a must if your in the area a wonderful experience and the ambiance is very peaceful.

An Exceptional Experience! About as perfect as you can get in a world where perfect doesn't really exist. This spot has an incredible vibe, a welcoming atmosphere, and some of the best people-watching around. The service was a standout--Dallas and her team were absolutely sensational: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. Our group of four started with the hummus (PHENOMENAL), and each of us enjoyed our entrees--no disappointments across the board. The only small miss was the fries, which came out a bit soft and soggy. That's an easy fix, and honestly, we may have just let them sit too long while chatting. Overall, it was a super fun Friday night out with great friends. I almost hesitate to rave too much because I selfishly want to keep this gem from getting too crowded... but it absolutely deserves the attention. Truly wonderful. We'll be back!

We ate with friends at Lynette. They'd eaten at Lynette a few times before and thought we would like it. They were right. We had a very enjoyable and VERY delicious meal. Our friends told us the space has been through a few iterations -- night spot, coffee place, etc. The interior was very casual but classy, the bar was very nice and inviting. Overall I liked the space quite a lot. Street parking was plentiful around the restaurant (and free!) We had: -Spicy boy mocktail (hubby said it was good) -carrots -- served with some really tasty stuff and really delicous -cauliflower (we chose korean bbq)... this was AWESOME. crispy on the outside, tender inside and flavorful -Ceasar -- nice and fresh and crispy -Beef tartare -- my personal favorite. served with a raw egg yolk and absolutely delicious. When we return, I will probably get this all for myself. -burger with egg - a very tasty burger served on a nice big bun. It was honestly a little messy not because of the egg but because of the copious amount of sauce on it. The burger kind of had trouble staying in the bun. I was somewhat disappointed that they broke the yolk for me and it came to the table with runny yolk already congealing on my plate. -Ribeye steak - so so yummy. So generous in serving size. I will admit, I had ordering envy. I think this is really the standout entre. -Our friends had the rabbit bolognese and the short rib, both of which looked amazing (but I did not sample either) -Soft serve ice cream for dessert, which is a super fun throwback kind of way to end the meal. Really fun. Our server was excellent and took good care of us. Staff circulated and made sure everyone had everything they needed. The only thing I found kind of odd was that they brought our vegetables first as appetizers basically and our mains after. I wish they'd asked our preference. I wish we'd been able to have our vegetables with our proteins. But overall everything we ate was delicious and we will definitely come back.

A good place to have some good food and drinks with friends or family. Service was a bit slow as they were full but it's worth the wait as long as you're not in a hurry. They have indoor and outdoor seating, street parking, and a flower or plant store across the street. A good place with a nice modern interior for casual dining.

Lynette is the rare combination of high brow food in a comfortable atmosphere. The price point is a bit higher and the food matches the expectations that sets forth, but there is nothing snobby about Lynette's service or ambiance. First, their cocktail and mocktail lists are fantastic. Gone are the days of mocktails being sofa water with a splash of orange juice for $20 - these are real deal fun. They also have THC seltzers which I always love to see. The entrees are meant for the table and perfect for splitting or sharing family style. While the short rib and crab risotto were both fantastic, the roasted broccoli was actually the star of the show for us. And the apple crumble dessert came with a UNIT of ice cream. Their happy hour is also fantastic, perfect to sit at the bar with a burger and fuck fat fries. Overall, we love Lynette's whether it's for a nice date night or a quick happy hour bite. We have yet to try their brunch but you can bet it's next on our list.

First visit to Lynette and we loved it. Its bright, open airy vibe brought energy to the patrons. I'm glad we secured a reservation as it was quite busy on a Thursday early evening. We were immediately seated at a nice window table, overlooking the patio to be used on warmer days and nights. For dinner, our server encouraged us to share. We opted for the broccoli, panko shrimp, and short ribs. All were cooked perfectly. The broccoli had a nice spicy bite to it tempered by blue cheese and curiously added puffed rice. The panko shrimp were huge, with 2 pieces for each of us. The sauce with these seemed to have a cucumber base and it was very good. The short ribs were super tender and deliciously served with a tamale. Our server was excellent. She made great suggestions and allowed us a nice leisurely pace. Parking was on street, although they do have a small lot in back. Great stop!!

A delicious reborn restaurant by the people behind the late great Lyn 65 (RIP). Make sure to check out the outdoor patio to make the most of Minnesota's short summer season. I suggest the burger, duck fat fries, wings, and a Brass Smash for ultimate highbrow/lowbrow combo.

Came here to meet a brunch with a friend on Sunday and we sat at the bar for over three hours having a lovely time. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was very good. It was pretty busy considering it was a Sunday but we didn't have trouble finding a spot at the bar. I'd definitely come back to try more!

This was one of these best pizzas I have had in awhile in the Twin Cities area! I would 100% come back just for the mushroom pizza. I've been to Lynette for coffee during the day before but this was the first time I decided to pop in for dinner. The front of house staff was very kind since there was a bit of a wait but nothing unexpected for a dinner rush. I would definitely recommend the Japanese fried shrimp if you're wanting something to share with the table.

Made reservations for Lynette to grab dinner with a friend. Was surprised it wasn't too busy at 5:30pm in the evening. We started with margaritas, which were fresh and had a good ratio of tequila to juice. Our server was attentive and helped us to order appetizers and dinner. We started with the cauliflower with fish sauce and the caesar salad. The cauliflower did not disappoint. But, the caesar salad was a miss for me. It lacked flavor and didn't give me the creamy deliciousness of a caesar salad. We decided to split the crab risotto and a burger with fries. I was very excited to try these options, but felt disappointed by their lackluster. Everything just tasted "okay" to me. Flavor profiles were bland and didn't sell me. Lynette seems like a cute place to have in the south Minneapolis neighborhood and I know folks who love it. The vibes are there the food didn't impress me.

Yes, was so happy to visit Lynette after Lyn65 closed and was very happy that the pizzas and chicken were on the menu. A bonus kicker was complimentary soft serve cones (mini guys) were offered after dinner. Drinks are always on tap, plus Lynette has a full coffee bar for their breakfast folks, so they have real espresso for those who want to indulge in an espressy martini for dinner (or lunch). Service is great and getting in early gives you the option to belly up at the bar, which is always entertaining and good people watching. Lynette is located in south Minneapolis, kiddy corner from the Riverview Theater. There is plenty of free street parking, or walkable for those who live nearby. Definitely plan to return to grab a burger and more drinks, plus the free soft serve!

My friend and I came here for brunch and had a great time! We sat at the bar, the bartender was very attentive and gave great recommendations. The vibe was a great neighborhood feel. -I enjoyed the Bloody Mary a lot! -The stuffed French toast had good flavor but a bit too hard/crunchy. -Loved the focaccia ham and cheese. The house-made focaccia was so buttery and delicious. I'm a sucker for anything with a good aioli. -Definitely recommend the quiche! Can't wait to come back for dinner :)

Lynette truly feels like a restaurant where locals come to grab a bite. People of all ages, dressed in all different attire, blend seamlessly together to make this new-ish Minneapolis spot as diverse as its food. I love the cozy booths with personal lamps, the tiled floor that gives cafeteria vibes but in a nostalgic way, and the big, bold bar from which the rest of the restaurant seems to draw energy. Our waitress was spectacular and by the time we finished our meal, there was a cluster of hungry humans awaiting our departure. The drinks: I stick with red wine, but if I had to recommend a cocktail, it would undoubtably be the Gucci. It's slightly herby yet smokey from the mezcal, and definitely liquor forward. The small plates: get the roasted sweet potato dish; do not be turned off by the combination of apples and coconut curry puree. I would honestly order this as a main. The sweet potatoes are tender medallions coated in this rich curry sauce with bright pops of flavor from the apples. The roasted broccoli was also a table favorite; it's cooked until just crispy and then piled on this creamy blue cheese concoction, too small for a main but perfect to share. The mains: I made the mistake of ordering pizza. I have my favorite pizzas around the cities (Rosalia, Young Joni, Station Pizza, Sanjusan, Boludo) and not that the lamb pizza was bad, but it was bland and tasted like a straight forward sausage pizza, crust lacking flavor. The burger, on the other hand, was fantastic. Two smash patties with American cheese and dijonnaise, simple and elegant, just as any good burger should be. I did not try the scallops but were told they were "maybe the best I've had" by one of my dining partners. High praise, given that they typically order scallops anytime they appear on the menu. Overall, Lynette seems to have its mind set on being a neighborhood restaurant, something I think it has almost already achieved. The veggie dishes and drinks are stars. They have an excellent burger and other creative dishes. Do not be boring and get pizza, not worth it here!

Lynette has a gorgeous interior space that felt so welcoming! We stopped by for coffee and pastries one morning and loved everything we got. The pastries were cold but tasty and I really enjoyed my vanilla latte. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy. I'll definitely be back to try their lunch and/or dinner!

Unwelcoming vibe from the onset! The "why are you here" stares and the "how did your BIPOC axx find this place" looks! Came here because I live nearby and saw that one of the owners was a woman of color but nothing friendly or diverse about this place! We were literally handed the bar menu by the host and told we could sit there (the bar) only when clearly other tables were open and available in an area where other diners were seated. Once you're here you're here so we sat at the bar. After 15 minutes we had to ask to place a drink order and then yet again ask to place a food order. We're never asked if we needed to replenish our drinks or if we wanted to order anything else. Definitely will not be back! Wings were too salty and Caesar salad wasn't worth the $17 either. Another one of Minneapolis' "idea of MN nice" bites the dust for this well-seasoned foodie!

I really enjoyed my meal at Lynette! I went with two girlfriends and we tried the cauliflower, hummus & pita, mussels, crab Rangoon pizza, carrots, and pork ravioli. The surprising favorite was the crispy cauliflower! Can't go wrong with fried food I guess, but the flavors of the entire dish were on point. The hummus and warm pita was also super good. Ravioli was quite tasty, surprisingly it was a vegetarian ravioli with slices of pork belly on the side. The mussels were a little disappointing, not from an execution or freshness standpoint, but I didn't love the sauce they came with (it was tomato based) and we agreed we would have preferred a classic French style with lemon, white wine, etc. The pizza was good but not great-- probably would try a different flavor next time. The service was really kind and the space itself is large and airy, it was easy to have conversations and didn't feel too crowded on a Tuesday night. A super nice touch at the end of the meal is that they offer complimentary mini vanilla soft serve cones!! Great way to end the night. I will definitely come back for brunch or to explore more of the menu.

We had a reservation and was seated right away at 4:45pm. The restaurant was not busy but slowly guests started arriving and filling up the dining area. Service was prompt and drinks were good and strong for the price. Food was tasty and very flavorful. Noise level was medium and not loud that we couldn't hear each other. First time here and it was very conveniently located within walking distance to the Riverview Theater.

Stopped by Lynette in the early evening after a movie at Riverview. The vibe was relaxed and inviting. The roasted broccoli was the highlight--paired with what might be the best blue cheese I've ever had. Rich, creamy, clearly housemade. Would've loved to try it with the wings, but they were out. Appreciated the extensive non-alcoholic drink list. I had the Athletic Golden Ale (N/A), which was refreshing. We also ordered the Sweet Dreams, and it was delicious--balanced and flavorful. We ordered the mushroom pizza with cream sauce. It looked great with a nicely crisped edge, but the dough was softer than I would've liked and the pizza could've used a touch more seasoning. The arugula was a nice idea but tended to fall off, and I would've appreciated a bit more mushroom presence overall. Not a bad experience by any means--just not the best artisanal mushroom pizza I've had. Still, I'd return to try more, especially anything with that blue cheese.

Everything about this place makes this one of the best finds in Minneapolis.! When you walk in anywhere created by friendly staff with a beautiful coffee bar ready for you to create a memorable caffeine creation, just for you! Once you order the seating for you to enjoy either a cozy conversation in a booth or a quiet place in the back For you to create memories with your family and friends! Everything feels intentional and feels put in place as you walk into this aesthetically, pleasing diner that feels like you are in your families dining room. And the food and the flavor is outstanding. I got the breakfast sandwich and the scone, which was the best I've had as of late! From the food to the vibes this whole place! You need to stop in and enjoy Minneapolis new additions to its culinary landscape! Enjoy!

Beautiful, cozy, new addition to the area! Great GF options! Good happy hour altho' hrs are 2-4. Convenient to the Riverview if you're going to a movie. Really nice, panko breaded shrimp (4/order). The cauliflower was an unexpected delight! Went for the GF Fried chicken in a Wednesday evening & it hit the spot (4 pieces mixed dark & white/order). Nice Pinot Gris Ramaro w/ bottle discounts on Wednesdays.

Amazing food! We made reservations. Parking on street was easy. We ordered a few of the dishes including the corn fritters, broccoli and scallops. Excellent. And then they bring you ice cream. Coconut milk. Doesn't get much better than that.

I wasn't able to get any pictures, but this place is incredible. The drinks were perfect, and the food was great too. Especially the cauliflower. Crispy on the outside, and I love the Fresno peppers! Not too hot, but a little spice.

Really happy with the breakfast we had here! The breakfast sandwich was great and the lattes were also good (always appreciate unique syrups and seasonal drinks). Inside was spacious and had cute decor. Bonus: they offer an educator discount on some items!

Visited Lynette with my family on New Years Day -- we had a table in the back of the restaurant. It was really cozy and inviting. I loved the bookshelves and the overall ambiance. Kind of a unique style of menu as there is a happy hour 2-4pm with a small menu and you can't order dinner till 4pm. Not bad, just different! I had the mussels which were amazing! A little different with a red sauce, but there was braised lamb in the sauce which was delicious. Would definitely get again. I also had a pork belly and risotto which had very tender pork belly that my son ate most of. My daughter got the cheese burger which was fantastic. My in-laws shared the crab ragoon pizza - it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Definitely more rich, great to share. Spicy margarita was very good too. There were great mocktails too. I can't remember what desserts we had - but they were also delicious. Service was great! Very attentive server who gave us some great recommendations. I'll be back!

Stopped by after my show at the Riverview across the street for a drink and definitely want to come back to try the food! Old fashioned was one of the better ones I've had in quite awhile and very refreshing. Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Staff and servers were really great. One of the servers recognized my friend who was there earlier to have dinner before my show and stopped by and made an effort to ask how it went.

We sat at the bar and everyone are just so friendly and fun. The foods came out fast and just seamlessly and delicious Shout out to Britty and Colder. Although everyone is just so good. We just can not be asking everyone's names MEZCALRITA $13 Mezcal, Mango, Guanabana, Lime, Garam Masala Bitters It's not too sweet. The only sweetness seems to be from the fruit juice. It's a yummy cocktail WHITE LOTUS $13 Italicus Bergamotto, Kinakaro, Americano Vermouth, Bubbles it's different but definitely a well balanced cocktails. It's in the sweet side but not sweeter than say...Prosecco. It is worth ordering CURRIED CAULIFLOWER RAITA, CURRY OIL, MINT, PICKLED FRESNO $12 The curry is definitely there. Sometime they said curry but it's just a touch of it. This one you really jump into it I appreciate the mint and the fresh chilli slices. ROASTED BROCCOLI DOLCE BLUE CHEESE, PUFFED RICE, TAMARI $12 Nicely charred broccoli. the rice puffed is really nice playful topping. Blue cheese sauce is incredible LAMB SAUSAGE PIZZA CRUSHED TOMATOES, RED PEPPER FLAKES, MINT, HOUSE PULLED MOZZARELLA | $18 Crispy crust with nice air pockets and properly charred. The lamb sausage is amazing. And there's some chilli pepper flake so you don't have to put them on (I like spicy so perfect) FYI. Lamb sausage from Strauss farm in Texas. PAN SEARED SCALLOPS WILD MAITAKE, GARLIC, TAMARI, PARSLEY |$32 This dish is a home run. Scallop cooked perfectly with crispy edges. And the sauce! Please ask for spoon. It's definitely spoonable worthy. Please wipe your pizza crust in this sauce or just slurp this sauce Concept is fine dining in casual environment. You can come in sweats or dressed up and just get fine dining caliber of foods Some of the owners used to own Lyn65. So if you're a fan of that. They're back! I heard the Brass Smash is a classic BRASS SMASH Cucumber Vodka, Avocado, Pineapple, Lime This one needs to be available by the pitcher! The avocado really makes it complete. A dash of umami and nice texture Last but not least. Vanilla soft serve on cones. If I have a wish I would wish the " brass mash " to be made into the soft serve !!! Universe, if you're listening

My husband and I went out for date night, we are very excited to try a new restaurant 1) mussels were a 1 star, they were over cooked and The sauce was too thick 2) The burger got a four star, great flavor 3) fries - 3 star, it was a busy night and it felt like they forgot to take the french fries off the fryer

Came in to sit at the bar for a martini. Several seats were open, but we were informed that it would be a least a 30 minute wait. Had the distinct feeling that the hostess was not happy with a mature gentleman in this hipster joint.

Stopped in for happy hour and had a lovely time, enjoying the environment and a cocktail. Will definitely be back to try out the patio this summer.

LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT!!!! We had an excellent experience. We didn't have a reservation, but arrived at 4:00, wanting to sit at the bar. With a little bit of help from the host, we got lucky. Drinks - excellent - and the bartender was friendly (but not TOO friendly). Food - excellent. I would die for the duck fat fries. The burger was delicious and reminded me of the Saint Dinette burger. Korean wings were MN spicy, but still very good. The season Crab Rangoon pizza also very good. Will definitely be back. Great addition to the neighborhood!

I used to really love Lyn 65. Lynette does not live up to that legacy. Lyn 65 had a wonderful bartender/cocktail program, whereas Lynette will serve batch cocktails for oft ordered cocktails (such as Old Fashioneds) which are often too sweet. "Built" cocktails by a knowledgeable bartender are preferred. My husband and I reserved a seating at 4:30, which is early, I understand, for our 52nd anniversary. It doesn't matter what time one makes a reservation. Good service should happen whenever a reservation is made. When I called to request a booth for us, the person answering the phone responded with just a "hello", not "Hello, this is Lynette, may I help you". I wasn't sure if I had reached a restaurant, or a random number. I had already made a reservation online, but had wanted to specify a booth. This was a first red flag. When we arrived, I had to physically go look to scout out a booth for us. No "welcome for your anniversary, here is your requested booth". At 4:30. It's not crowded. We are seated at the booth that I discovered, and are waited upon by a lovely bartender/waiter who is an mixologist but can't do that and wait on tables at the same time. The whole experience felt like we were at a regular bar, and should not expect anything better. The prices don't reflect that. I had scallops, which were wonderful, but only four for $32. My husband who is not an "adventurous" eater ordered a burger, which was good. He discovered he forgot to order fries (a separate order) which he had to physically go to the bar to get the attention of the bartender/server to order. When the fries arrived, it looked liked they had come from the bottom of deep fryer, they were all in pieces, no longer than 2 inches. I have never experienced French fries in such a manner before. The bartender/server doesn't remove plates/glasses that are no longer in use. That's it for me. I won't be back.

Still haven't tried their pizza's, but, did join them for lunch. Ordered the burger, the menu is a little deceiving. The menu states burger, cheese, pickles, and special sauce. What I got was a double patty, shallots, cheese, pickle and sauce. I suggested to Ben to update the menu, to clearly call out that it is a double. Was very good burger, sturdy bun to hold the two patties. I will order it again. Doll loves the egg sandwich so much and continues to order it. Ben and crew have really improved everything. I was nervous for them when they first opened, a lot of rough edges. They seem to have found their groove and things appear much smoother, and really good food.

We biked here and found seating easily. Service was friendly at the counter and they have a variety of sweet and savory pastries to try along with a pretty unique menu. We tried the breakfast quiche, the breakfast sandwich and a spinach/ feta scone. Some of our neighbors have said it's $$ but our total was similar to other spots we've been to in the neighborhood ‍. The food was ok. Solid enough that we'd be back to try some other items on the brunch menu. The bar is cute and they have plenty of patio seating for this somewhat warm fall weather!

Food! Vibe and service excellent. The ribeye, sweet potatoes and best Ceasars salad ever.

My second visit was better than the first. Excellent service. Burger was still amazing.

If you remember Lyn65 from Richfield (my favorite spot when it was around) I have great news! Lynette is the rebirth of Lyn65 in Longfellow. Same great burger, same duck fat fries and same old fashioned. Looking forward to exploring the other options offered. No fried chicken (yet!!) but a lot of items carried over and a few new ones.

The stuffed French toast was delicious! Their bakery knows what they're doing. It had the consistency of Bostock. Could use more toppings, cream and berries.. it was a little dry because there wasn't enough and I didn't get offered syrup. It is a huge piece of toast though, serving size wasn't lacking! Ambience has some needed updating but otherwise it's a cute spot

Service was 10/10, unfortunately food was not. Fries were tasty, but most were an inch long or even shorter which made them very difficult to eat. Short rib was tough and bland, very disappointing. Crab risotto was delicious and really saved the meal. Other things I tried were not bad, but not exciting. This might just be my personal preference, but I found the portion size to be really annoying. Too small for one person to order one thing, but too large for one person to order two things. So the meal only works if you plan on sharing with your table (we got 6 plates for 4 people, which was about right). The server communicated this to us before we ordered, so it wasn't a surprise, I just think it's a foolish way to serve food and very unfriendly to anyone dining alone or not wishing to share.

I was just there recently and what a wonderful surprise it was. The customer service was outstanding. The bartender was amazing . The food was delicious. Also had a chance to meet and talk with the chef/owner. Absolutely incredible. Going back for sure,Malgorzata

If you want the best cheeseburger and duck fat fries go here. I was looking forward to them opening up as I missed the Lynn65 place before. This place doesn't disappoint and the restaurant has a great ambiance.

Really cute space. Our service was awesome. My husband can't leave a restaurant without dessert. He said the Pot de Creme was the best dessert he's ever had. The scallops were perfect. The ravioli wasn't for me, but again my husband loved it. If you enjoyed Lyn 65, you'll find a lot of your old favorites here!

Counter staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions. The food is amazing! I've had the quiche almost every time I've been to Lynette for brunch...it's that good. Love the vintage decor. The space is cozy with a welcoming vibe. Have recommended it to everyone I know. Can't wait for warmer weather when the patio will be open.

Quality local cuisine. Highly recommend. Support neighborhood venues. Will return. Barista/Waitress are kind and courteous.

Absolutely FABULOUS food and service and decor and dinner and brunch were AMAZING! And the baked goods--can we talk about how great those were?! We'll be back often!

Food: 4/5. Service: 3/5. Ham & Cheese focaccia; The Burger. Damn good burger! Counter service is a bit weird for the space, but NBD.

Brunch, Happy Hour and dinner are great! Service is fantastic, a warm and inviting space.

Great ambiance but food was just meh. We went for brunch, ordered a potato cake (little loaf of deep-fried hash brown) and a focaccia ham and cheese sandwich. Potato cake was fried well but under seasoned. Focaccia had been toasted on what the server said was the wood fired grill and tasted a bit like an ashtray. The ham and cheese was served with a spicy sauce which was delightful once we removed the bread. Great service, great Bloody Mary, cute place! We will head back to get cocktails and enjoy the patio, but not likely to try the food.

I met a couple of friends at Lynette for a midweek lunch. The space is a huge improvement over The Riverview, and outside has a nice big patio. When we walked in, there were 2-3 other parties standing by the hostess station. I went in search of someone and asked if we seat ourselves,was told yes, take a menu then order at the bar or the pastry station. When we were ready to order, we went to the bar, but the only person there sighed, and said she'd have to go find someone. The food came out quickly, We ordered a pizza, a burger and a BLT. I liked the pizza, although the menu said the mozzarella was house pulled, and that mozzarella was not. My friend liked her burger. The BLT, is served on focaccia. That is really the wrong bread for a BLT and, in fact, the waiter asked if we needed a steak knife for the BLT. What?? Turns out, coulda used one. The food was good, but the whole experience was disorganized and bizarre. It was not at all welcoming, making you feel like you were intruding. I know it's early days, but I expected more from seasoned restauranteurs. After one try I haven't given up. I'll give them some time to work things out and go back again.

Lynette's staff was so wonderful in accommodating our group of nine to celebrate an 80th birthday. From setting aside the private room to the barista cutting the tres leches cake, your staff went out of its way to welcome and serve us. Bravo! the food was great and atmosphere lively and fun.

i had never heard of lynette until today. as a former patron of Lyn 65 this place has some of my favorite dishes. the pita with hummus is just like Lyn 65 and tried 2 veggie dishes that were over the top: semi sweet carrot with a delicious sauce plus the crispy cauliflower... both dishes are 5 stars our main was the short rib and again a fantastic winter dish. all the wines are available by the glass or by the bottle. i paired the short rib with a nice Jim Barry from Australia. low tannins and very well done service -food- ambiance all top notch prices comparable to other good quality restaurants in TC area. this place rocks and wish them well !
