Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Nestled at Lincoln Center, Lincoln Ristorante offers an elegant ambiance with "incredible food & staff." While the menu can be pricey, dishes like "halibut" and "octopus carpaccio" are praised. The service is "attentive," perfect for pre-theater dining. However, some guests mention limited gluten-free options and occasional service delays.

    The menu is too limited and several dishes have pork that we and many people do not eat.only one fish available Would love lamb and chicken to be added. The restaurant was quite empty and I wonder if it’s the limited menu.

    My Christmas Eve experience at Lincoln Ristorante, located on Lincoln Center Plaza, was exceptional. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows provide a breathtaking view of the Met Opera House. The open kitchen, under the guidance of Executive Chef Artem Orlovskyy, showcases a seasoned team expertly preparing dishes. General Manager Barbara and Assistant Manager Octavio lead an experienced team, including my waiter Saul, with whom I enjoyed reminiscing about our shared experiences. The festive ambiance on Christmas Eve was further enhanced by the warm hospitality of the team. My meal began with gnocchi and prosciutto, followed by halibut accompanied by scallops, mussels, and shrimp, along with table sides of mushrooms, garlic, and cauliflower gratin. Desserts were served family-style, featuring an assortment of cookies and mini chantilly cakes with delectable fruit fillings. Most guests were locals celebrating the holiday, and I appreciated the opportunity to converse with fellow diners.
