About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
Founded in 2011 our seasonal menu features comfort food with a twist. LINCOLN pays tribute to one of the greatest US Presidents, with nods to many of his favorite foods including our signature chicken pot pie & another star on the menu, our kale salad. The menu is focused but varietal.
Our cocktails are truly one-of-a-kind. Our barkeeps have created one of the city’s thoughtful bar programs highlighted by infused bourbons and DC's first moonshine-list served in antique-style copper cups. Our patio is open all year-round, offering a relaxed, urban landscape. Don't miss our butcher cut NY Strip or the city's best Mac & Cheese. LINCOLN is the right place for your next private event with many options for private dining from 10 to 200.
Original paintings & distinctive interior design by homegrown artist, Maggie O’Neill. LINCOLN is your destination for Lunch, happy hour, dinner or brunch. We are open Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Easter & Mother's Day for your special celebration.

    Greeted at the door was great on a rainy day. Seated quickly. Service was great and food was delivered quickly. The quality of the fish was okay. It could have been more flavor full for the price of the dish.

    They have a brunch menu, but at 1:30, the chef responsible for preparing the eggs Benedict wasn’t available 🤨. It was VERY quiet, which perhaps predicated the absence from the kitchen. All the food was okay, but nothing stood out: broccolini scramble (plain), brussels sprouts (needed acid), and “jumbo” crab deviled eggs (only a sprinkle of crab). The truffle curl in the chicken corn chowder was the most exciting moment of the meal. Nevertheless, the service was warm, the restaurant had maintained its style and beauty since I last visited years ago. I assume it’s still a staple for happy hour and will keep this place on my list of after-work havens.

    Don’t think it was worth the Easter meal being $72 a person. It was mediocre food but wasn’t too terrible.
