    Amazing dining experience! Our server Felicia was fantastic. Very kind, patient, and helpful with ordering. Breakfast was outstanding. The ambiance was very cozy on a winter morning with music soft enough to have good conversation.

    We had a wonderful experience at Lincoln Social. The service was on point!! Great night overall! Maybe more food options and the lighting at the tables were not enough. I had to use my phone light to read the menu.

    Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
