Founded in 2011 our seasonal menu features comfort food with a twist. LINCOLN pays tribute to one of the greatest US Presidents, with nods to many of his favorite foods including our signature chicken pot pie & another star on the menu, our kale salad. The menu is focused but varietal.
Our cocktails are truly one-of-a-kind. Our barkeeps have created one of the city’s thoughtful bar programs highlighted by infused bourbons and DC's first moonshine-list served in antique-style copper cups. Our patio is open all year-round, offering a relaxed, urban landscape. Don't miss our butcher cut NY Strip or the city's best Mac & Cheese. LINCOLN is the right place for your next private event with many options for private dining from 10 to 200.
Original paintings & distinctive interior design by homegrown artist, Maggie O’Neill. LINCOLN is your destination for Lunch, happy hour, dinner or brunch. We are open Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Easter & Mother's Day for your special celebration.

    Food is usually very good but this time just okay. Like many downtown DC restaurants, Lincoln has been on the decline the past couple of years. Was hopeful that a Valentine's Day Dinner would be special but sadly disappointed.

    Great food. However the service could have been better. 30 minutes to get our drink had to ask where it was. Waiter forgot to put in our appetizer, tables all around we’re having the same issues— maybe they were short staffed

    For DC the price is decent for what you get. Omelet station always great 👍. Waffle station has many options and the food variety was delicious. I loooove the bacon! This is a regular spot for me.

    Went for a family New Year’s brunch and everything was absolutely lovely. Decided to order a la carte instead of the brunch buffet and it was a good move… we could hardly eat wht we order let alone go for seconds. Any restaurant that can satisfy a Boomer. Gen X, Gen Z and Gen ALpha to the point of being stuffed to our eyelids on a holiday is a winner in my book.

    Hi Kelli, Thank you so much for your recommendation and review. It was a pleasure to have you at the restaurant today. We hope to see you again in 2025. With Gratitude, The Lincoln Team

    Server was super nice and friendly when we saw him. He even asked the kitchen if we could get chicken pot pies which were not on the holiday menu (no chicken on holiday menu at all). $60 Grass Fed NY Strip had a ton of fat, which they gave us $10 off when we commented on it, which was appreciated. Overall, food was decent but not worth the cost.

    The food was off the chain. The owner (Alen) came out to ensure our service was primo. Loved it, will recommend to all my friends. I even recommend it to our Lyft drive who is going to take his wife there.
