    The Lincoln Restaurant was just divine in every way. My friend and I had a cozy table right by the window overlooking the plaza. Our server was patient, helpful and so friendly. Our dinners were perfect. The meatball appetizer was so delicious and different and my octopus dinner was so flavorful . Paired w broccolini and fingerling potatoes it was an unforgettable meal! I would definitely return for a special occasion!
