Best Seasonal Restaurants in Lincoln

Awesome food and drink as usual. One of my favorite restaurants.

Lincolnites and others should keep Well & Good in mind for holiday dining. Two friends and I took advantage of their extended hours on Thanksgiving and their traditional Thanksgiving meal special (their regular menu remained available). We started with well-made cocktails (including the Scarlet Sazerac with rye) and with their smart update on an old-school crudite platter (designed to be shared). The turkey was moist even without the gravy, the portions of mashed potatoes and stuffing were generous, and the latter was notably well seasoned. The small ramekin of cranberry sauce was not so generous, but we understand that not everyone is as fond of the stuff as we are. Very nice to finish with tasty pumpkin pie. The "wine special" bottle of Skyside Chardonnay was a perfect accompaniment -- and a bargain with a less than 50% over retail markup. Service was attentive, amiable, never intrusive.

The Thanksgiving buffet food was all amazing & people at our table went back for thirds. The pumpkin pie, however, was very below average. We’re not sure what was wrong with it, but it tasted kind of crystallized. We all agreed that pie made from the recipe on the back of a can is better. We would have tried the pecan pie, but had a tree nut allergy at the table. 

Great to have a restaurant in Lincoln with great flavor combinations and unique variety on the menu. We enjoyed our visit after a football game where the rest of downtown was loud and obnoxious, Dish was calm and relaxing.

Fun night out. They have small appetizers this year. Drinks are pricey.
