   From the moment we were seated at a lovely table facing the gorgeous music center in those amazing swivel chairs to the spot on perfectly timed service by Amit, to of course the utterly delicious food, absolutely everything was a delight. The tables are spaced comfortably apart so that you and your neighbors cannot hear each other’s conversations which is a real luxury. The ambiance is elegant but not stuffy and Amit really bent over backwards to make sure we had a first rate dining experience.

   It’s a shame that the food and service at this beautiful restaurant has sunk so low. We have been going to this restaurant a few times per year for many years. The food and service used to be superb. Every year we have seen diminishment. Our food last night (and I mean every dish), was nearly inedible. The service was embarrassingly inept, with inappropriately long waits before we got our drinks and between courses, and the check brought to us and paid before dirty dishes had been cleared. Time to sweep out the entire team and bring in a totally fresh one that doesn’t just phone it in. Such a gorgeous location should have a restaurant worthy of it.

   Great ambiance. Great tasting food, although portions could be a little bigger and adding more choices on the menu. Greatly missed the amuse bouche from past experiences.

   Lovely restaurant- one of my favorites, however ... the "Insalata" was really a Ceasar salad (with way too much dressing), and my main course-branzino & veggies- -was lukewarm; all very disappointing. Service was adequate (not great).

   For a slightly upscale meal at Lincoln Center, this is a great choice. The menu is interesting, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. The prices are reasonable. We went for a special occasion and had no regrets.

    Lincoln Restaurant in Lincoln Center was a perfect refuge on a rainy night. This was our second dinner at Lincoln and both were superb in every respect. Front staff is accommodating; waitstaff is attentive without hovering and is well versed on the menu. When we had questions about how a particularly delicious Fluke appetizer was prepared, our waiter convered with Chef and reported back with details. Everything from cocktails through dessert was prepared to perfection and beautifully presented. Pacing of courses was well timed with no rush. While the prices are not insignificant, they are in line with fine dining and to be expected from a New York City restaurant. Great dining experience.

    Lovely, if corporate style, room. Pleasant service. But the food was disappointing. Fluke crudo was tired and tasteless. The ragu on thé pasta was lifeless instead of being rich and Flavorful. There are better Italian cuisine restaurants in NYC.

    It was Sunday , Jan 15 The food was superb. The service was totally unacceptable. When we were seated, they didn’t tell us that there was an event going on, and that may affect the timing of the meal. The server came over proceeded to ask one of the guests what cologne he was wearing. We then had to ask for our menus. We ordered at 7:20 and at 7:50 we asked where our first course was. He then told us that he put the order in at 7:39 because he had to ask the chef first about a couple of questions we had asked regarding the menu. We got our appetizers at approximately 8:10 we received our main course at 8:35, and subsequently were able to order some dessert and coffee. The frustration in trying to get an update on the food certainly made for a less than positive experience. He was quite odd and really made for a rare non excellent experience

    While the food is amazing and the wait staff friendly and attentive, the people who greet you when you enter the restaurant are neither. Our requested reservation was not honored due to a complete lack of organization.

    Love the place but they gave us a booth hidden, away from the beautiful square fountains which is why we went to the restaurant. Made reservations way in advance and wanted a table with a view of the glass walls and the square but got a hidden away booth. The food was OK; the server seemed extremely rushed, food was average. The dessert was awesome which was the cheesecake.

    We had dinner at Lincoln Ristorante before seeing a play at Lincoln Center. The staff was terrific and the food was also good but I felt that the choices for main courses were very limited unless you only want to eat pasta. My friend and I shared a salad and a fluke crudo. For a main course we shared the Tajarin Al Tartufo Bianca, which was very good. For a desert we shared the Pinola Al Chocolato.

    Lincoln Ristorante: imaginatively designed wall of windows overlooking iconic Lincoln Center: Opera, Symphony, Ballet, Theater. An active fountain: indoor/outdoor seating. My 1st time guest - responsible for real estate skyscrapers globally loved the open expansive kitchen showcasing Exec Chef Artim Orlovsky & his Patina Team. GM “Host with the Most” Jeff Metcalf & Edwin, my Patina waiter since 1990’s In MetLife Naples. We ordered fresh pastas, seafood: prawns & Branzino - tasty button mushrooms and salads. Beautiful cheesecake presentation -great libations followed by coffees & biscottis. Impeccable efficiencies in surrounding tables. I’m a local regular fan! Xoxoxo Bonnie

    It’s painful to write this review! We live in the neighborhood, LOVE Lincoln, and would call it my favorite NYC restaurant. I probably won’t ever eat there again, and certainly won’t recommend it. Last night was my birthday. We walked in and the hostess greeted me with “happy birthday” - so sweet! So special! My daughters (22 and 23) were with me. We ordered a bottle of wine for dinner and one cocktail. Our waiter abruptly carded us…ummmm, I’m 56 and I’m with my 20-something daughters. Being carded isn’t a problem. It felt bad though. The waiter studied my ID, like I was underage trying to buy beer (did I mention I’m 56?) One of my daughters didn’t have her bag, so no ID. Which was fine, but it was handled really poorly. Our waiter was missing for the rest of the night - my cocktail never came. we had to pour our own wine, waited far too long and had to ask for our check twice…All in all, it was a terrible experience and with Tatiana opening, it’s not worth the $400 we spent.

    The atmosphere is very nice, and it is a great lead-in to an evening at the Met. The staff knows you have a show in a couple of hours, and are quickly to seat and serve. Then the service gets spotty. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers - good, not excellent. The crisp is ok, the salad was good. Plates and cutlery were cleared. The mains were served. We indicated that we needed cutlery. By the time it finally arrived - 5 mins later - our mains were lukewarm. The Branzino was very good. The night’s special, a 50 layer lasagna was odd. It was ok, but not what I had expected. It was a low (maybe a couple of inches) block, sitting surrounded by a fresh tomato purée. It was not very flavourful. I did like the browned bechamel topping, but that was about it. The sommelier came to help me choose a dessert wine that was not on the menu. Dessert arrived (ricotta cake with green apple gelato on the side), and I waited and waited for my dessert wine while the gelato was melting. The wine finally arrived,but was not frizzante. It turned out that it had been opened the day before, and the frizz had subsided. The sommelier quickly rectified the problem by opening a new bottle. However, I didn’t get to enjoy my wine with my dessert. We have often dined at the restaurant in the Met, and had chosen to come back to Lincoln Ristorante (where we’d also previously dined), because of it’s ratings. The meal was ok, but didn’t match the ratings it gets. At least, not last night.

    We had an outstanding dinner at Lincoln. We went prior to the Metropolitan Opera so it was so convenient to just walk a few steps after dinner to enter the show. The ambiance is great and the service and food were all outstanding. The two pasta dishes we shared were both tremendous. Really enjoyed our visit.

    Everything was spot on except the menu choices. There is only one fish item on the menu. Everything else appears to contain meat. If you are a pescatorian you might wish to look elsewhere.
