Beautiful experience at Lincoln Ristorante. Came here for a dinner with a winemaker, and Lincoln was all too accommodating. Fantastic food, excellent service, and a warm, elegant atmosphere. Highly recommend the Rigatoni Amatriciana and the sunchokes starter. House bread excellent too! My only complaint is servers were removing plates before everyone at the table had finished their course, which felt a bit rushed / unprofessional. Still, everyone was kind, efficient, and attentive -- we had a wonderful experience overall.

We had a wonderful meal at Lincoln right before our ballet performance. The food was delicious and perfectly portioned. The service was spot on and the setting was beautiful. Really set the stage for Swan Lake! And of course, so convenient.

The food, service and experience were magical. Magical. I had never been, and expected "merely" fine dining and excellent Italian American food. It is fine dining, it is very nicely appointed, but the food and service are truly Italianate. Wonderful menu, great wine list and cocktails, attentive service but you are never rushed; you can take your time to enjoy your meal and your company. John was the maitre d' for our visit, and his affable charm and attention were a big part of what made the night so special.

We had a lovely experience at Lincoln Ristorante. The service was excellent—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The dining room itself is absolutely beautiful, offering a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. We started with the Pizza Roman, which had a deliciously crisp and flavorful bread base, and a side of olives that were perfectly briny. The roast chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and the meatballs were rich and satisfying. For drinks, we enjoyed an espresso martini and a glass of Chardonnay—both great pours. Dessert was a decadent chocolate tortino, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. We did notice a charge for a tea refill, which I think is a bit tacky when you’re already spending so much on dinner. Still, overall it was a great night, and we’d definitely consider returning

Elegant Lincoln Center restaurant will not disappoint. We came here for the Prix Fixe Thanksgiving Dinner and it was an excellent dining experience. I started with the Burrata which was delicious. The traditional turkey dinner was moist and fresh, with tasty sides including brussel sprouts and spatzle. The pumpkin pie for dessert was creamy, and included a delicious side of sorbet. Service was attentive and friendly. I was very thankful for this meal.

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. I received tier one service from the time I walked through the door. The food was delicious and extremely flavorful. I strongly suggest the duck. It wasn't over cooked and the sauce it came in took it to the next level. I dined there before I went to the ballet at Lincoln Center, and I will dine there before my next show. I'm looking forward to going back.
