    Excellent, elegant restaurant. The food was innovative and delicious. The waiter was friendly, helpful in answering questions, and attentive to our needs, The ambiance was beautiful and the atmosphere was quite and conducive to having a discussion in which you could hear your table mate speak in a normal voice

    The Lincoln Restaurant is a really special place. Just walking towards the beautiful modern minimal architecture of the restaurant surrounded by The Met, the Geffen Hall, and the Koch Theater feels special, and no matter what table you get, it's fantastic. We went for Restaurant Week with friends from out of town and they were duly impressed. Food is great, the house-made pastas were all delicious, the desserts were fab -- not much more to say expect I wish we could afford to go outside of Restaurant Week! And our server, David, was knowledgeable and kind, as were the rest of the team from front of the house to the person refilling our water glasses. Highly recommend.

    The mushroom side dish was my favorite. They were very juicy, fresh and light. The seafood stew was not that flavorful but it was fresh. The sauce could have been cooked longer and the chickpeas were too hard. The flavor was good but not great. I think the dishes needed more cooking time to concentrate the sauce. The pappardella had great chewy texture, was flavorful & definitely hand made same day. The oxtail appetizer over polenta was tasty, fatty but a little salty. The chocolate cake was really rich and almost like a brownie dense but I really liked the hazelnut (or I think it’s hazelnut) sauce that came with it. We had a very enjoyable meal and the service was first class. It was overall a wonderful and delicious experience. We will be going back soon.

    We go to the Lincoln whenever we have tickets to an event at Lincoln Center. The restaurant offers not only convenience, especially in inclement weather (we park at Lincoln Center as well), but excellent food and service at prices that are competitive with similar restaurants in the area. Try it, you'll like it!

    We were very early for a reservation, which they honored. We were seated immediately . Service and food were excellent. If you’re seeing a show at Lincoln Center, definitely a great choice.
