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.

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 .
