Delicious food and amazing service! Highly recommend the mussels appetizer, and our daughter loved the pasta in marinara and “dirt” dessert off the kids menu.

On my third visit to the Lincoln, I discovered a fantastic treat.: the smoked salmon grilled cheese sandwich. The waiting staff is efficient, friendly, and very responsive. I strongly recommend this restaurant for lunch and dinner.

As always, our experience at Ted’s bulletin was superlative. First and most important, the food is outstanding. And the desserts are even better, especially the carrot cake and the chocolate cake. Loved my snowball for nostalgic reasons. Be sure to get a milkshake. And the cornbread sticks. And the brussels sprouts. We ate at Ted’s four times in the four days we visited DC. The manager was so gracious in giving us a table on our fourth day as we were short on time before leaving for the airport. The staff were already beginning to recognize us. Can’t wait to visit DC again so we can eat at Ted’s at least once every day of our trip. And take home more desserts.
