    It has been a while since we have dined at Wilderness Ridge. Had family in from out of town. Looked forward to a nice dining experience. Food was pretty good. Staff was not very knowledgeable or helpful. It felt like we were in their way as they were setting up for the next day. Disappointed with our visit. Will not be going back anytime soon.

    We will definitely eat at Wilderness Ridge again! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was comfortable and upscale and we could hear each other talk because it was not too loud at all!

    It had been quite a few years since my last visit to Wilderness Ridge, and my past dining experiences there were less than impressive. However, I was pleasantly surprised this time—the food was fantastic! I ordered the pesto and pork soup along with the kale salad topped with salmon, and both were absolutely delicious. My husband had a steak with a baked potato, and he said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever had. Wilderness Ridge might just become our new go-to restaurant in Lincoln!

    Couldn’t have been any worse. The food was so salty, you couldn’t taste the food. This restaurant has a reputation for bad food and service but this one dwarfed all previous ones. Should never say never, but not going back any time soon.

    Attentive staff! The kitchen was running a little behind and a manager got us some complimentary bread. Meal was well worth the wait!

    Server was great! Was disappointed that we were sat in a drafty cold corner when I booked way in advance and asked several times to be seated near the fireplace or at least in the main dining room. The food was good but took an hour to get. Portions were quite small.

    The food and service was great. The room was at least 10 degrees cooler than optimal. Several guests had to wear coats.

    All four us agreed, this was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a very long time. And our server was the best.
