A Culinary Dream, Years in the Making

In 2015, chefs Matthew T. Lynn, CEC, and Jessica D. Lynn, NTP, fulfilled a lifelong dream when they took ownership of Ellen’s Café in the heart of Old Town Spring—soon transforming it into what is now Lynn’s Table.
Their story began in 1994 at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, where their shared passion for food and hospitality first brought them together. Over the next two decades, they built their careers working in acclaimed kitchens across the country and around the world—including The Sign of the Dove and The Monkey Bar in New York City, Coyote Café in Santa Fe, and several top restaurants right here in Houston.
But family and roots eventually brought them home to Texas. After a seven-year search for the perfect location, Matthew and Jessica found exactly what they were looking for in Old Town Spring: a historic, welcoming community where they could share their love for elevated comfort food, local ingredients, and Southern hospitality.
With over 30 years of combined experience, the Lynns bring classical culinary training and heartfelt service to everything they do. Their menu is rooted in fresh, scratch-made cooking—featuring thoughtful dishes for lunch and dinner, plus house-made desserts that have become local favorites.
At Lynn’s Table, every guest is treated like family. Whether you’re a longtime local or a first-time visitor, you’ll feel right at home.
