    Dining at Lincoln Ristorante is always a treat. The food and service are top quality. They just changed the menu for the season and it had some great choices. We enjoyed both the Veal Saltimboca and spaghetti with clams. Location to the Lincoln Center venues makes it very convenient.

    Disappointed in cuisine. Veal saltimbocca was a thick veal chop, couldn’t eat it. Lobster pasta not seasoned well, cheesecake also strange. We loved this restaurant before but may cross it off our list

    The new menu at the Lincoln Ristorante, which they had just begun to offer when we ate there yesterday, had many tempting offerings, but the two I tried were outstanding. I recommend the tomato tarte appetizer highly, and for vegetarians (though not vegans), the agnolotti was the only, but delicious choice.

    Love that Lincoln is a quiet restaurant with no loud obnoxious music in the “background”. Warm and welcoming service, imaginative cocktails, excellent wine list, delicious food.

    Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and very courteous. He made sure that we were served in plenty of time for our show. I will definitely be visiting Lincoln Ristorante again soon.

    From the moment we entered the staff was attentive and personable. We had a wonderful corner table by the window and our waiter Amit was excellent. Service was prompt and the food outstanding. I have been there several times with my wife but this was a celebration of our daughter’s birthday. Most enjoyable.

    The young hostess could be friendlier and more professional, especially for a fine dining restaurant. She showed no sense of customer service—definitely not welcoming or warm. The waiter, on the other hand, was nice and friendly. As for the food, the entrée portion was little small for the price. Appetizers was great .
