    Wonderful night out. Gorge view of Lincoln Center water feature and perfect for people watching. Our server, Amrit, made it very special. More restaurants need to have him run their programs to help servers to learn how! Going back and will request Amrit.

    Love LINCOLN and go frequently. It’s elegant and quiet. On 5/10, we only ordered a pasta and one drink…and yet, our server (Shannon who is terrific) gave us a high level of service as if we had ordered far more. The teamwork at Lincoln is fantastic and the staff is friendly. Fantastic food! New seasonal menu…which we liked.

    Excellent food preparation However, my wife and I have been dining at Lincoln prior to the NYC Ballet for 10 years The expansive menu of the past is now 6 appetizers, 6 pasta entrees and one meat and one chicken entrée If you are not a pasta lover this is not your restaurant In addition, one cocktail, one appetizer, one pasta and a shared dessert was $125 per person with tax and tip The ambiance and service can not be beat Not sure when we will return again

    Great location and good food, although less than generous portions and over priced. Wine pours are ridiculous.

    As always, the food at this restaurant is delicious, but I would like to mention an addition to the usual menu that I saw yesterday -- a seasonal selection of a pasta and fish. I had the pasta, spaghettoni with ramp pesto. I had the dish with a white wine -- vermentino -- that complemented it perfectly. Try it, you'll like it!
