    Beautiful restaurant and decent food but not great. Service was strangely “greedy” trying to get us to order more or the most expensive wine. Food very overpriced. Still the atmosphere was very pleasant and it’s a nice place pre-Lincoln Center

    The Lincoln is always my selection of dinning after an opera experience to continue my full evening of special experiences. The food, liquor and service are always beyond expectations when one forgets how very special the Lincoln has treated their clients over the years. The food is always beyond exceptions and full of surprises. What makes the experience memorable is that the wait staff is as knowledgeable about the food preparation of what's being served that they can expand on the dish and how it's prepared. Great fun, good food and superior service, what more can one ask of a restaurant.

    Lincoln continues to be a truly first rate restaurant. Gracious service. Excellent wine list. Wonderful and both inventive and traditional Italian fare. A beautiful site and a beautifully designed. Pair it with a performance at Lincoln Center or simply have a special meal there. It is one of our favorites as native New Yorkers.

    Such a treat to dine at Lincoln with excellent modern Italian food just before a terrific production of Tosca at the Met.
