Always lovely! Cheers.
Food was good! Waiter was rude. He stated that “Brothers and Sisters are so gimme gimme gimme”. He also questioned if we really want all that we ordered.
Excellent price fixed menu for Valentine's Day. Of course the decor is Pres. Lincoln-themed so I was unsure of what to expect. But to my surprise and delight, the food was delicious. As a starter, we had the sweet potato soup. It was sweet, creamy and almost dessert-like. It was topped with what I think were a few toasted rosemary leaves which provided a wonderful flavor complement to the creamy soup. For our entree, we had the beef bourgennione pot pie which was way better than I thought. It was beef bourgennione in a mini skillet topped with a light puff pastry cover. It was amazing. For dessert, we had the apple tart tatin. The apple tart was a thin, soft layer of apple tart covered with 2 generous dollups of what I believe it was a creamy, sweet goat cheese. It was outstanding and the perfect ending to a perfect dinner. The staff was attentive with all the Covid protocols in place. I highly recommend Lincoln.
I went for Valentine’s, we were seated quickly. However no one came to the table for over 5min to even great us. The lights were far to bright for a romantic dinner. The salmon was bland, and the apple tart was inedible. Would not recommend. Wasn’t worth the hype. I won’t go back.
I enjoyed the atmosphere however the portions of food wasn't enough and you need more of a selection drinks were good the waiter was very polite and my guess for that night but it was a very enjoyable date night I will be returning to your restaurant thanks again for the experience
We dined at Lincoln on Valentine’s Day and had a very disappointing experience. First, we came for an early seating hoping to avoid the crowds. There was no one there apart from one table stiill partying from their brunch reservation. They made the restaurant feel like a zoo - screaming, laughing, shrieking. So inconsiderate. I could not hear our server take our order even though we were on the opposite side of the restaurant. Two of the servers were also playing with a small child - running around, punching - right next to our table. This was not the romantic experience we were hoping for. We could not hear ourselves think. The table finally left, but I was horrified that the management did not see this as a problem.
Now the food. It was VDay menu for two and looked promising. But dish after dish was just terrible. Sweet potato soup needed something fresh to cut through the one note, heavy taste. The short rib pot pie was extremely greasy with a sad, undercooked round of pastry on top. Brussel sprouts were tasty but super greasy, too. Steak was overcooked in one part and raw in the other. The dessert was abominable: a tarte tatin wiith raw pastry under green, unappatizing apple slices. The server was nice and tried his best, but that was not enough to make up for the rest of the experience. We willl not be returning and recommend everyone to stay away.
The server brandy was very attentive to the tables needs. She was very personable and made our experience terrific.
I always have the best service and experience at Lincoln. I am pleased at how they have everything set up to meet Covid regulations. The food is always great. Our server Brandy was very attentive and friendly.
Short pours on expensive drinks!
Great Valentine's Day dinner....had the place to ourselves for 45 minutes. Great food, good service!
Excellent food, even better service!
Great restaurant week menu. Wonderful service. Will definitely come back here again !!!
Went here for a Friday night dinner. Was nice to visit downtown DC again despite the pandemic causing a lot of spots to close down in downtown DC. The outdoor heating was also good and provided a fair amount of warmth. The food was delicious. Will definitely go back in the future.
Lincoln is always reliably good. They've got good food and good drinks. Flies under the radar, but we always leave this restaurant really satisfied. Also, great for happy hour!
I really enjoyed restaurant week! I highly recommend it
Very good, service was friendly and very attentive. Food and drinks were at a reasonable price and management was very attentive as well helping the bar staff.
Awesome service with Nia and amazing vibes. Thanks for great brunch. The bottomless and food options hands down. I got the burger and it was so good.
New Year’s Eve
The decoration of the place is great and the service is good! Overall I'd go back because of the COVID19 measures they have put in place, they have done a great job, we felt comfortable all the time. We were just disappointed with the food taste, we were expecting a richer palette of flavors for the dishes we requested.
Fantastic restaurant. Kale salad is like no other. Very finally minced with ingredients like small surprises in every bite. Appropriately priced.
Great brunch! Love the bottomless mimosa option and the outdoor seating.
had good weather to sit outside--it was a great lunch with superb service--loved the chicken and waffle.
Very nice patio setting with trees, soft lighting and heaters. Our waiter was attentive, made great recommendations (our steak burgers were excellent!), observed social distancing and wore masks. Perfect atmosphere to enjoy dinner and cocktails despite the backdrop of the Covid-19 public health emergency.
We found out Biden became President while eating brunch! It was a total celebration. The food was amazing and our waiter Moses was wonderful!! We will be back soon!
The restaurant felt tired and a bit unclean.
The food was passable and service OK.
I wouldn't return.
Celebrating a new website launch! Great food and the host Brandy is amazing.
The fall seasonal menu had delicious options and I would recommend the grilled cheese sandwich, chicken pot pie, and macaroni and cheese. There was ample outdoor seating with large space heaters. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
As always, Lincoln was amazing. They did a great job with their COVID precautions. This is the first restaurant I’ve been too since the beginning of the Pandemic.
Yummy and quaint place to enjoy a date!
Good food good service. Watch out cocktails are strong
The Farmers breakfast was great with the raspberry Mimosa and Moses is a terrific staff member!
The place is very interesting. Decoration is great. Food was good too.
Moses was a great server and the bartender (who brought all of our drinks to our table) was amazing!
Great food and service!
Our server Javier provided excellent service.
The food and staff were great. They took precautions to make sure customers and staff alike were safe, while maintaining quality of customer service.
Birthday celebration outdoors
Food was great and our server Brandy was excellent. They were short staffed and she pretty much took care of the whole restaurant by herself.
The restaurant was nice but our server was terrible. When he first came to our table, he in so many words told us to shut up so he could take our order. Then, our food took forever to come, and after it was delivered we were never again checked on by our server. One of our group members wasn’t ok with her entree, but we couldn’t get ahold of our server to tell him. The entire party had finished our food without ever seeing our server again. We had to call for a buzz person to come and clear our plates and GET our server so we could get her meal removed and pay like bill. I can’t remember the last time I had such poor service.
Made a reservation with excitement to take part in Washington D.C.’s Restaurant Week. Because a friend was late for the reservation, we were ready to order at around 8:40PM. When the waiter comes to our table, he let us know that the kitchen closed at 8:30PM. I had made a reservation for 2, and had been waiting at the table well before the 8:30PM closing of the kitchen. Would’ve appreciated a more direct approach in letting the customer know what the policy/hours are for more informed decisions.
