We've been to Lynette a few times now and always leave happy. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. The restaurant is kid-friendly but it's also a great date night spot. A few standouts for us have been the pizzas, carrots, hummus, dry rub wings, fries, and the apple crisp, which was one of the best desserts we've had in recent memory.

Brunch was fantastic. They have lots of baked goods, made in house.

You order at the counter and then the food is brought to your table.

Reasonably priced and very tasty.

Kid-friendliness: Quick service - good for kids

A great dining experience with a variety of shareable items on the menu. You can pick many of them without any overlap in taste or theme, making it a wonderful option for friends to enjoy a little of everything.
Our group of four had 6 different dishes and two desserts. The broccoli won top honors for most of us but even the Wedge salad was an unexpected hit. The shrimp missed the mark though. Even though they were fresh and cooked perfectly, the shrimp didn't hit the same level for taste as the rest of our dishes. The two desserts were okay, not meeting the same highs as the main course, I would go with a soft serve cone next time.
It is a tightly packed restaurant, making it difficult to have a conversation but, that is the trade-off when word gets out that you've got great food... Customers follow!

Only had one drink at bar. Bartender gave me a taste to help me decide which rum.

The food is PHENOMENAL! This far surpassed our expectations. We shared the wedge salad, curried, sweet potato app, and the mushroom pizza. My old fashion was on point!
Highly recommend this place. Atmosphere was relaxed, and all staff were so friendly. Definitely coming back!

Lynnette is AMAZING! Every single bakery item that I have had has been absolutely incredible. I LOVE all of their savory pastry options and the sweet ones too. They have a unique spread every morning- it is truly hard for me to not stop on my way to work every single day. It's a little pricey but its actually the same price as a breakfast item that I get from Starbucks... so I don't even think that's true anymore and I'd way rather support a local business (and it's WAY better but that goes without saying).

My wife and I tried to have cocktails here before a movie across the street this last Saturday (11/16/24), but the host wanted to put us on a 45-minute wait list. We had already eaten elsewhere and just wanted cocktails at the bar. Denied. Who does that?

Giving a neutral 3-star rating because I haven't actually been a customer yet. However, the place seems nice and I've heard good things. Odd bar policy though.

Lovely spot for brunch. I had a Bloody Mary and the BLT. Everything was excellent and amazing service.

So my husband and I used to go to Lyn65 almost monthly when we were dating and it was our favorite spot. We were so sad when they closed. After hearing about Lynette, we were excited and hoped they’d bring back some of our favorites! The food here is great, but we didn’t have a WOW moment like we did at Lyn65. The duck fat fries were not the same and too salty. We were sad the fried chicken and the burger were not on the menu because they were phenomenal! We got 7 dishes total and 4 drinks. The cocktails were good for the price. The brash smash wasn’t exactly like how I remember Lyn’s Tijuana brash smash, it was just ok. Our favorite dish was the roasted broccoli. It reminded us of Lyn’s cauliflower dish. The scallops and ravioli were also good. The crispy shrimp was ok. Not a fan of the crab risotto unfortunately.. it was really mushy and one note. The apple dessert was good, but needed caramel drizzle. I get it’s not supposed to be exactly like Lyn65, we were just hopeful I guess. The drive is a pain for us and the seats are a little too close together, but that’s like all new restaurants these days I guess. We may go back to check out the pizzas if we are in the area.

We will be back again, again!
Service; if there were 10 stars I would still need more stars!
Food; lacking options, specifically the pizza. (Ps I didn't question if I could modify but doesn't seem like the place)
Atmosphere; a lot too bright, especially compared to 65.
None the less, GREAT job Travis and associates!
AGAIN, We will be back again, again.
I hope the neighborhood loves you as much as I do!

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.

Good vibes of the inside. The roasted carrots were my favorite thing we ordered. And you get a complimentary vanilla soft serve cone at the end of your meal ☺️

Loved our little breakfast outing after trying them for dinner about a month ago… Beautiful atmosphere and the breakfast sandwich was rich and delicious… just as good as the dinner both meals were excellent!

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!
