   Great ambiance, average tasting food. Very loud music for early morning brunch. Menu is very limited. Won’t be coming back

   I saw the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. She was wearing a cream sweater & sat at the end table by the booth against the wall, you know, to your right when you first enter. She was sitting with a man who looked maybe 5 years older than her, & next to him was a much older woman in her fifties. Needless to say I assumed they were together, though when the waiter came, I saw her hold up a “two” with her fingers then make the “check” pen-signing in sign language. Why would she ask for two checks if they were together? Either the man would pay for everyone, or could their check have been separate from the old woman’s? Or did just one of them pay for the old woman? It was very perplexing. I was also ecstatically relieved when the man took off his beanie & revealed he was bald, with a horseshoe pattern beyond any saving. I contemplated walking up to her & showing my long hair & unruly beard (I have been #TooMuchHair2024 maxing), like the way a male peacock would approach a female & show off his large feathers. But alas, I did not approach her out of fear of rejection, not because I was threatened by ol’ cue-ball over there. The burger was also incredible.

   Terrible. Cafeteria style buffet, unprofessional wait staff packing “to go” boxes before last tables got dessert, on their phones at carving station.Bartender complaining about lack of management and new owners not prepared , and the $ he was not going to make. Sides were cold and not replenished, clearly their only concern was getting as many people in and out and not creating an enjoyable experience. Huge disappointment and would absolutely not recommend

   We had problems from the start with cocktails delivered than the starter, no Parker rolls with the starter and the lobster bisque being lukewarm. The manager responded to our issues and allocated a dedicated waiter to our table. Moses was excellent- nothing was too much of a problem for him. The carvery was good but the food needed to be warmer and the plates should have been hot. Without the attention of the manager and Moses this would have been a very disappointing experience

   We went for thanksgiving. It was overpriced and the service was not good. Some of the items on the fixed price menu were good, others were quite bad. Would not recommend.

   Lincoln Restaurant was the best choice for our family of three on Thanksgiving. Even my 96-year old, finicky palate mother enjoyed her meal, including the first course salad with sweet potato croutons. She complimented the macaroni and cheese. We enjoyed the variety of vegetable selections as well as the turkey with mushroom and leek gravy. The staff was welcoming and rapidly refilling the buffet selections. The environment was celebratory without being overwhelming. A great Thanksgiving choice.
