    Service was excellent. Reagan was our server and she was attentive but not hovering. Pleasant but didn't intrude on our conversation.

    Venue is my most favorite restaurant when I visit Lincoln from Chicago. It’s a special occasion place. Our server remembered me from my last visit. Our food was excellent and prepared perfectly according to my dietary guidelines. The decor is lovely with the fairy lights. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We’ll be back for my brothers birthday in May. Excellent choice. Make your reservations early tho!!
