Lincoln - DC

The food was great, but our service was incredibly slow. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed.

I love this restaurant but was disappointed with the winter dinner menu and portion size. Our waiter seemed very odd as well, not personable at all.

Great at accommodating our lively party of 7! Delicious dinner!! Everything we ordered was spectacular!!!!

Place was great. Just wish it didn't close at 3 and reopen at 5 on Sunday's

The shrimp and grits was like soup and the tuna was too grisly to cut. We were brought substitute wine and had to ask about that.

Excellent service. Small plates at reasonable prices. Mixed drinks were short pours and too much ice.

It was Valentine’s Day. They had a special menu. The food was not good- very salty. The beet salad consisted of what tasted like pickled beets- thinly sliced. The music was loud. The drinks were very sugary. We have no plans to return.

They had a great Valentine's dat pre-fixe menu, but out server was kind enough to offer us the whole menu. Much appreciated.

Lincoln is a good space, comfortable seating and easy for catching up with friends and loved ones. Wait service is attentive and the food is well considered and tasty.

Great food and accommodating service for this single diner on business travel.

Enjoyed a warm and tasty shared food experience at Lincoln. Great menu options, interesting beer list, though served from a can was unusual.
The decor and ambience were appealing and welcoming. The location was convenient to our nearby hotel and we surely return. Trendy but hearty tapas style food made for a fun and extra special soiree.

Andrew was wonderful as well as my server, Kevon. They both made my birthday memorable.

It was my first time eating at Lincoln. It was a nice lunch spot for our staff. The service was pretty fast and they had a good selection of healthy lunch options. The food was good, but I'm not sure I would rave about it. We would probably go back again.

Deviled eggs were delicious! Didn't have many options for sweet wine or sweet alcoholic drinks, but was fine. Server was just average.

I was very disappointed. I'd been here before and really enjoyed it. The waitress was EXCELLENT, but the busing staff were the most overeager and overaggressive I've ever seen. Should be an easy fix through some training, but we got minute-by-minute requests to clear each plate (of all the small plates) once they were half-eaten. It was bizarre and became a running joke at the table. The food was also immensely disappointing. We ordered 5 plates. None of them were good and I'm the least picky eater I know. The tuna tartare was heavy on cucumber and other filler, the gnocchi were flavorless and the bacon could not mask it. The scallops were fine, but my date complained that one of her 2 was much worse than the other. I tried 3 cocktails. Each was fine but unremarkable. I came here wanting to love it like I did the first time a few years ago. I don't believe I'll return.

Great find in DC with great food and drink in an eclectic setting.

The waiter served us mimosas but walked away we had to ask another waiter to track him down. Shrimp and grits were very GOOD!

The restaurant was very noisy for brunch. Sometimes it was hard to have a conversation with the thumping of the loud club style music. Our waiter was nice, but very pushy about getting us to do bottomless drinks and food. We didn’t. The food was good, but the portions are small for what you pay.

My husband and I had brunch at Lincoln DC. The food and music were great! Scott was an excellent waiter. Really enjoyed the entire experience.

When we looked the menu, everything spoke to me, so I was so excited to go. The thematic elements of the restaurant are awesome...pennies in the decor, modern painting of Lincoln, mason jar chandeliers, over sized chairs, and the Gettysburg address printed on a wall. Even as I went in, we were excited to try a new DC place. Restaurant week had been extended so 3 our party ordered from that menu and one ordered seperate items. Our server lacked a helpful personality, but did get the bar tender to make a custom cocktail for a friend who was celebrating a birthday. Overal the food was meh...nothing stood out. The mussels were so small and many shells arrived without mussels inside. The bread with it was burned as well. The short rib was average, and the gnocchi was not something I would ever want to eat again. The birthday friend’s good was good. He ordeeed a steak and the macaroni and cheese, which is why we went in the first place. Lincoln is listed as some of the best Mac in the DMV. It was good, multi flavored, and served in a cast iron. Lincoln has done well with theming, but now they can catch up with their food.

Service was great. Open setting with a bar so the noise was a bit up but it was not intolerable. Food was very nice. We got an appetizer and split a salad and a side. The side was heirloom cauliflower gratin which was awesome. Had coffee and dessert. All-in-all not a bad experience and we would go back.

Excellent food and the service was great! We’ll definitely be back.

I've been to Lincoln a million times for lunch, which I highly recommend, but only a few times for dinner. My dinners have been a disappointment in comparison to lunch. This time was no different except for the fact it was Restaurant Week. I ordered from that menu and was delighted with my first dish of brussell sprouts and cauliflower but was super disappointed with the tiny portion sizes for the main course and dessert. One gets the impression that they are saving money on the prix fixe Restaurant Week meal by skimping on the ingredients. Two thumbs down.

We were sat at the worst table in the restaurant when others were open....lots of 2’s available. Was it because I used open table? We were dressed appropriately

Ordered the 3 course meal for restaurant week...Brussels sprouts, NY strip, and banana pudding. Everything was delicious! Bread pudding was more like a cake, but still good, just not what I was expecting.

Great food, great value. Attended during restaurant week. Can't wait to come back to experience the full menu.

Service was awful. The wait staff was attentive when we got their attention, but they pretty much disappeared after they brought us whatever we needed. The food was just ok at best. I order eggs scrambled lightly and 3 orders of eggs came out...all WAAAY overcooked. Needless to say, I didnt eat any of them. This was my 1st and last time dining here.

Service was impeccable! Emily was our server and she literally thought of everything. If we couldn’t choose between two items, she brought both. She checked on us often, but also allowed us space to chat and enjoy brunch. She’s fantastic... as was the food! Also, the DJ played hit after hit from my favorite era of music, the 90s!

Brunch was amazing. Thank you so much! It was a special day for my group of friends and we had a blast.

Uninspiring food, all you can eat and drink but at over valued prices.

Restaurant Week was extended through Sunday so there was there was the 3 course meal choice as well as the regular menu. I chose the 3 course dinner. The "appetizer" was roasted Brussel sprouts which was excellent! For the main course I had the steak loin (steak tidbits) which was just ok-- not very tender. The flourless chocolate cake was a perfect ending!

So fun! We went for a group date for restaurant week. The cocktails and food were delicious.

Good food. Service took a while. It got busy after we got there.

Our server was great but the place was incredibly loud. I don’t hear well and it was impossible to hear my dinner companion. The food was only so so.

We ordered 5 different small plates for 3 people. It was more than we needed, but all were delicious.

By far best restaurant in DC. Quiet, unique, peaceful atmosphere, easy access, imcredible food. Drinks were affordable and top of the line.

Our server was delightful. The food was unique in that many of the options had familiar favorites, but prepared differently compared to other DC restaurants. The only thing I would have changed about our dinner is connected to their kitchen- our server informed us they have a rolling kitchen. As a result of this, my dinner came out about 5-7 minutes before my husband’s. I waited for a little while but didn’t want mine to get cold. Then, his fries came before his steak. I greatly appreciate how perfectly warm my food was, but it would have been a more pleasurable dining experience if both of us were enjoying our entrees. With that said, this will not hinder us from coming back as our meal was delicious and served quickly.

My colleague and I had a superb meal at Lincoln, the food is excellent and the service amazing, special mention to Danny who looked after us that evening.

Great food and vibe! I will definitely dine at Lincoln again. Waiter was amazing!

Service and food was excellent. Noise level was extremely loud and my guest and I had to yell to communicate with one another. Not sure how noise level can be addressed/fixed.
