   Having been to Lincoln in the past, I was disappointed. The food was uneven. Admittedly, this was my first time for brunch. Plus, I had not been to the restaurant in a long time--maybe 7 or 8 years. I plan to go back to make sure.

   Went for lunch since it is restaurant week, do not imagine I would go there again. My appetizer duck croquettes had no specific taste, my entree of risotto was very very undercooked. The dessert was tasty.

   I didn't particularly like the food. Maybe if it was seasoned properly it would have been better.

   Sadly, this was a disappointment. We think Lincoln is having staffing issues both in the kitchen and dining room. Our food was not good, drinks were bad, and service was sketchy. Our waitress was very personable, just not attentive. It seemed she was the only waiter for the seven tables dining while we were there

   The brunch experience here was not great. The potatoes, omelet, and waffle were the only good dishes on the menu. The Mac and cheese was watery, the mimosa’s did not taste good either. It appears that they are short staffed so I do give some grace there. However, I would not recommend for anyone to go there nor would I go back.

    arrived for a 10am reservation and did not get service from our waiter Jude, for 40min; had to ask another server about where our table staff was; thankfully Brandy brought us our drinks and continued to provide back up service. I enjoyed the food and the small plate offerings, I just wished our service was more consistent.

    We booked last time slot for new years night. I knew it might be tricky, but I called ahead and confirmed the time they are closing. I was told it is 11 pm but they will stay open past 12 am and we can meet new years eve there. When we arrived, hostess greeted us and was nice. Place was nearly empty to my confusion. We were provided new years eve accessories which made my daughter happy. Also I was aware there is no kids menu, but she was ordering Mac and cheese anyway so that was not an issue. The issue was service. Initially, before we placed an order, waitress was attentive enough. We were told that we had about 10 minutes left to order food before kitchen closing and we did so. To our confusion, food came out literally 5 minutes after we ordered. Don't understand how good steak can be cooked in that much time. My husband was never given a knife for his steak. We asked for it the server who brought the food, but he never came back. I couldn't locate any of the servers for probably the next 10 minutes. Only after that time I was able to locate someone to get us the knife to just start eating. Also, before, when we were ordering the food, I asked waitress if we should order desserts ahead of time since kitchen is closing but we were assured that we don't have too and it's not an issue. As soon as we started eating, literally placing first piece of food in the mouth, waitress ran up to us to order desserts ASAP in the next minute if we want it. That was kind of disturbing. But whatever, we ordered. Ribeye was tasteless and very fatty. Halibut and apple and goat cheese salad were good. Mac and cheese was good too. Drinks were good. Waitress came over about 3 more times during our meal to tell us that the dessert is coming soon, which made no sense but whatever again. As we were done eating, nobody came up to us for a while. We had all the dirty dishes for about next 30 minutes. We just sat there. Staff was cleaning the place up and looked rushing out before 11 pm.

    We ate there last night for New Years Eve. We got there early and sat at the bar and had a great time with the bartenders. We then sat in Noel’s section for dinner and she was a lot of fun also. We had a salmon and a pot pie for dinner. Both were delicious. Great way to ring out 2022. Happy New Year.

    Dinner entree choices were good and not too overpriced. The food came fast and was very tasty. We didn't have drinks or dessert. We were there on a mid week day, so not very crowded or noisy which was nice. Service as very good.

    Fries and brussels are very good. I had the shrimp and grits, and my partner had the halibut. We didn't like either, but we finished our meal because we were a party of 5 and didn't want to be the complainers. Shrimp and grits lacked flavor and seasoning. Definitely left a lot to be desired. The onions were over powering. Just strange. Presentation was nice so that was deceiving. Service was good, very attentive and pleasant waitress.

    We just happened to be there on a night when they had several holiday parties going. The staff was stretched thin but still did a good job of giving us speedy service. The food was excellent. I had the chicken pot pie and my friends had seafood. I liked the atmosphere.

    Restaurant and team were able to control the chaos of a Thanksgiving dinner 2022 with great professionalism. Team was pleasant and attentive despite the big crowd. A very special THANK YOU and BRAVO to Kimberly (or Kimverly) for being so sweet and special to my family and in particular my daughter, who has special dietary needs. Food was good, desserts were great!! My family and I concluded, we will be back, for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. Well done Lincoln team!!!.

    The staff was super nice and took well care of us. We came here for Thanksgiving - it was super busy and a bit noisy but totally understandable. Unfortunate was, that my flight was delayed so I came late - we started eating at 8 PM and the kitchen closed at 830 or so so everything was very hectic and we already got our dessert while we were still eating our first serving of the buffet. And we were already served the check before we had even started our dessert.. but needless to say, the food was delicious.

    Oof where do I begin? Extremely slow service and had to get up and ask for our check after waiting over 25 minutes and no sign of our waitress. Buffet-style food and cold prime rib. For over $220 total for two people for Thanksgiving, this was robbery.

    It was a real pleasure having Thanksgiving dinner with you all. I really enjoyed meeting Erin, Michelle, and the gentleman at the carving station. I know how hard it was for you all to get to people because you all were very busy but you at least made sure that people were taking care of. it was a wonderful time and I'm more than happy to eat there again. You all went above and beyond for the buffet.

    Service and ambiance was outstanding - very attentive. It was Thanksgiving brunch, so really active, but it seemed very organized. The meats were very good with the roast beef and salmon standing at the top. The turkey had 3 different gravies! The sides were mostly unique for us including Brussels sprouts and peaches and a nice sweet potato scollop. They made the starter and the desserts each with its own special flair - for example lobster hush puppies and sweet potato crisp with ice cream. Overall, we had fun, ate well, and were treated royally.

    We had a lunch reservation for the Thanksgiving buffet & were seated between the carving station & the sides buffet. There wasn’t enough clearance on either side of the table for people to walk through so we had a steady stream of people bumping into us as we ate. We never got our drinks & had to go to a drink station to ask for water refills- the 1st time we asked I was told someone should be coming around with refills. (They never did.) No one cleared our plates until I found someone to ask for the bill & he realized we’d never gotten our desserts either. Because the plates weren’t being cleared, I don’t feel like we got our money’s worth of food for a buffet. The food we did get was fantastic & the staff was indeed working very hard but I don’t think this location is set up for a Thanksgiving buffet. (We did last year at its sister restaurant & had a much better experience.) Would definitely give it another shot for a normal meal. Compliments to the chef.

    The menu was not what I expected. Some of the starters and entrees included ingredients that were seemed to change the concept of the dish. For example, the butternut squash soup came with coffee crumble and caramel rather than just seasoned butternut squash soup. The bread on the halibut sandwich was stale.

    Brandy was amazing her energy was so contagious and she made sure we tried everything on the menu to maximize our brunch experience. My sister was visiting from out of town and said she would love if every waiter was as caring as Brandy. Top notch service, and top notch food. This will forever be my favorite brunch spot.
