I ordered the short ribs and felt it was tender... but dried out. So I hadn't gone back. Well I met friends for a "supper club" we created and my opinion was completely changed. I would give them 5/5 stars now. The best part of the night was great service lead by Ms. Sydney. She understood the menu, gave recommendations and clear explanations of how items were prepared, and was quick with a joke! I literally almost spit my water out laughing at one point!!! The wine selection was amazing and paired well with the entrees ordered. I have to give a disclaimer that, at our table was the person that distributed the liquor.... So he knew what bottles were the ones we had to have with our meals. The mixed drinks were great too. I had an espresso martini, but also tasted my friends's sazeracs and old fashions. All were great! I was pleasantly surprised when the bill came as we ordered several appetizers, drinks, bottles of wine, and dessert! My bill was way less than I anticipated given the amount that we ordered! I'd def come back and I'd probably request being put In Sydney's section!

The atmosphere here is cozy, and romantic, although rather loud when there are even just several tables filled. The service was great throughout our meal.

For our entrees we went with the braised beef short rib with saffron risotto, and he had the duck cheek. Then ended with a cannoli and house made tiramisu. Everything was well done and delightful! Highly recommend for your next date night!

We didn't realize reservations were recommended, but there were open tables in the bar area, so we were seated right away. There's also outdoor seating, which is a nice option. Service was great--our server was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. We ordered the Calamari, Crab Claws, Duck, Shrimp Pasta, Lump Crab & Shrimp Stew, and a House Salad. Everything was good and fresh. Some dishes could've used a bit more seasoning or a different flavor profile, but overall the meal was enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and even the restroom stood out--spacious, spotless, and surprisingly cute with a single private toilet. Overall, Café Lynn was a solid, unexpected find with good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Lobster bisque was tasty as well. I had all good things. And on top of it all, Grace was our waitress and she was literally the best. 10/10. Favorite Dish: Scones and clotted cream!

I've found the food service to be too slow (it once took almost two hours to prepare a piece of toast and poached egg), so personally recommend planning to come for the scones and tea. The scones are absolutely delectable with clotted cream and a lemon spread on the side. I like the classic ones, but there is plain, specialty, and savory (three choices) offered each day. You get two so can mix and match! The tea menu is EXTENSIVE with pages and pages of teas. For a flat rate, you can have as much tea as your stomach can hold!! They have plenty of decaf options too. This place books up fast, especially around the holidays! Plan to linger here a few hours with a loved one and really soak up all the joy of the experience. I never get tired of coming here and delight in sharing it with others!! Top favorite tea is London Bridge (a mix of nutcracker, vanilla, and almond). For fellow decaf tea lovers, I recommend also: vanilla almond, Belgian chocolate, mocha Rocha, rooibos chai, Oxford study, and Mountbatten blend. Don't miss the chance to take a photo by the phone booth on the way out!!

Our recent New Years Eve visit fell short of the standards this restaurant once upheld. We had our…read morewedding here 7 years ago and had an amazing time. Although we specifically requested a table downstairs, we were instead seated upstairs in what appeared to be an attic-like space off in the corner. The area was poorly arranged, and above our table a hanging light bulb shone directly into our eyes creating an uncomfortable environment. We left this table and went to express our concerns to the hostess. There were plenty of open tables downstairs but she said they were reserved for 7pm when our reservation was for 6pm. My wife said we will just sit at the bar if we have to. We were then placed at a table in a hidden spot beside the fireplace. I say hidden because the lady refilling water forgot about us several times. In addition, portion sizes are small while prices are quite expensive resulting in a disappointing imbalance between cost and value. Dinner for two was $240 not including tip. $62 for a 6oz filet then up charge when asked for more bread!!!! The one redeeming aspect of the experience was our server, Devin, who provided excellent service--professional, attentive, and genuinely courteous. His efforts stood out in an otherwise unsatisfactory visit. He was assigned upstairs but took care of us at this downstairs table.
