We ordered the burrata, the spinach dip and the cauliflower. I also got the chai espresso martini for a cocktail. The burrata was mind blowing, it had a nice combination of creamy from the burrata and sweet from the roasted vegetables. I ate this up so fast, it was so good. The spinach dip was too cheesy it overwhelmed us a bit. It also overpowered the spinach. The cauliflower was spicy and nice but it was too saucy and overwhelming as well. The chai espresso martini was very nice but I couldn't taste the chai, it just tasted like a regular espresso martini, but it was very nicely made. They also had a private event booked at 9:45 and they didn't let us know before our reservation so it was really frustrating and docked a .5, making this place a 3.5. Definitely did not seem professional to do that. Overall a good experience, and would most likely return if they don't book a private event and tell me after I sit down I have to leave after an hour.

They claimed it will be returned after. They have not returned the deposits after multiple requests. If they had no intention of returning deposits, they should not be collecting them in the first place. Having patrons asking and requesting for it a week after the restaurant visit and not receiving the deposit back is unacceptable. There's plenty of wonderful restaurants in the City. Save yourself the headache and just go elsewhere.

You walk in and there's a super sexy little bar to the right -- perfect for a cocktail and it seats maybe six to eight people. The restaurant itself isn't huge, but they manage to fit a lot of people comfortably. Everything is beautifully designed and the space is gorgeous. I was impressed right off the bat. Now the food... the food... the food. I won't make you wait -- this place is awesome. It's Friday, so I start with the challah bread, which comes with a butter and jam mix, pickles, sauerkraut, and a nice green pickled tomato (almost like they just went full Starsky's and grabbed the homemade stuff from the corner ). We ordered a great salad and the best potato dumplings I've had in years, with a mushroom-style sauce that was fantastic. The wine and cocktails are great -- like many places on Ossington -- but somehow this place feels a little different. Let's also thank them for not keeping a tank or bathtub full of carp. Nobody really likes carp... do they? For mains we had three dishes: the fried chicken, the steak, and the pastrami. The fried chicken might be the best I've had all year. The steak was excellent and the pastrami was perfect. To be honest, the only thing I'd probably skip next time is the fried green beans. But the fries and the sides that came with the meats were great. We skipped dessert and headed over to Summer's Ice Cream in yorkville for ice cream instead. Let's just say that now that summer is around the corner and I'll be walking the Dundas and Ossington strip more often, that bar -- and that chicken -- are something I'll definitely be coming back for. Linny's, you're a real gem. This place feels like it's on its way to becoming a Toronto institution for many years to come.

I also LOVE their fettucine alfredo - it's delicious! But what I keep going for is their incredibly creamy saffron sauce pasta! This is their classic saffron sauce penne pasta with chicken, mushroom and bell pepper and it's one of the creamiest pastas in town. You'll love this if you love a good creamy pasta.

There were four of us and ordered the sangria to share between three of us which was a lot but refreshing. Apps were Lucas Freitas (fried calamari) and Chourico a Bombeiro (flaming sausage). Both were delicious. I forgot to mention the bread and Piri Piri Sauce which came in the form of a large bottle. These were complimentary and it's nice to see a restaurant continue this tradition. There used to be a very crusty artisan bread that was served but over the years that has disappeared and it's a white bread now. Three of us had chicken/chicken breast and one had veal. Even the small portion was very generous. The salad was underwhelming but a pretty presentation. The server got a couple of orders wrong and seemed very distracted.
