    Lincoln continues to be a truly first rate restaurant. Gracious service. Excellent wine list. Wonderful and both inventive and traditional Italian fare. A beautiful site and a beautifully designed. Pair it with a performance at Lincoln Center or simply have a special meal there. It is one of our favorites as native New Yorkers.

    Such a treat to dine at Lincoln with excellent modern Italian food just before a terrific production of Tosca at the Met.

    Wonderful meal. The pastas are unique and very delicious. Beautiful, modern, yet elegant room, with the most comfortable restaurant chairs in the city. Also need to mention service was perfect.
