The new menu this month will not disappoint! The Country Meatloaf was delicious! The broccoli and carrots were perfectly prepared and seasoned just right. Salmon was cooked perfectly. The BLT bruschetta was an unexpected treat. So good! The cocktails and wine selection are always high quality. It’s clear that a lot of love and dedication goes into making each guest’s experience top notch. Love this place!!

We celebrated our daughter’s 40th birthday and wishing her well as she prepared to relocate to another state! This was our first time at this beautiful restaurant! Our servers were magnificent! The food was delicious and beautifully plated! We must have had all the appetizers and they were succulent and crave worthy! We all ordered a variety of entrees from duck, pot roast, fried fish etc. The atmosphere was amazing! There were other birthdays being celebrated and we connected with each other! We all became family in the restaurant on that evening! It was an incredible experience!

Underrated brunch spot

One of our favorite places in GR and hands down some of the best food you can get locally. Have never had a poor experience. We frequently take friends and family there and have never had an unimpressed guest. The owner, Todd, seems to always be there and is attentive and interactive. Looking forward to the nearby construction being done so they get their beautiful river view back!

Overpriced ... basic pasta w/o meat $22. Seating is open-floor and you could end up at table in the center surrounded; to me the lack of privacy contradicts price.

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 was great, the staff and bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable. Very fun experience overall. There was music that was not too loud at all, would be great for a classier dinner or date night.

Get the mussells!! You won’t regret it. Love the dj and eating outside right on the river.

Linear offers a stylish and modern dining experience with a beautiful view of the icy trees and river, creating a cool and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant serves New American cuisine, and while the food was good, it didn’t quite leave a lasting impression. The drinks menu offered a fun variety.

The highlight of the meal was the mussels appetizer, which stood out as the best dish of the night. Everything else was enjoyable but not particularly memorable. Service was polite and friendly, but our server wasn’t very attentive, which slightly took away from the experience.

Overall, Linear provided a pleasant evening with great ambiance and decent food, but it didn’t quite reach that “must-visit” level for me.

Small portions, pasta was overcooked, duck had a gamey flavor. Fun vibe and decent cocktails.

New menu. Frequently run specials and have good variety. Big selection of wine and drinks and beer, craft beer on tap. Parking in the lot or on the street. In the past have had fabulous food. This time, the service was slow, portions were smaller and the shrimp and grits were disappointing - too salty and overcooked. Will try again sometime based on the previous great experiences
