Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Lincoln

Fabulous food, impeccable service, and a beautiful ambiance. What more could one ask for?

Nice place for brunch. A little pricey. Waiter was very personable, forgot 1 item for party of 7, understandable. The fruit in the fruit bowl side order was tasteless, which was better than the flavor of onion, or something else, of the strawberries that came on our French toast, it tasted like they were cut on the same cutting board as the onions for the French onion soup. If they bring up their fruit game, and a little more attention to details (it was cold inside, right next to the fireplace, which was lit, but down to tinder’s.) Potential 4.5-5 stars with a bit more effort.

The limited time squid ink gnocchi with lobster was amazing. The wait staff truly works as a team, timely picking up dishes and ensuring that your needs are met. They also were super knowledgeable of the menu, so much so I ventured with a gin cocktail (I hate gin) and found that the gin was just like the waiter described (well masked). 10/10

The service at 80 Thoreau is outstanding - attentive, knowledgeable waitstaff. The food is very good - loved the carrot salad, and the chocolate/mint dessert. I liked the scallops - was expecting something different, but enjoyed the unusual presentation and tastes.

Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!
