    We have been dining at Lincoln for years and we love it. It's a splurge but they recently introduced a new prix fixe menu served from 7-9pm, consisting of 3 courses plus a glass of wine for $65. Inspired by different regional cuisines in Italy, the current menu is called the Lombardy Supper. We just tried it and it's wonderful and an excellent value. We plan to go more often now because of this new, more affordable menu.

    Wonderful experience - the food was outstanding, service was attentive, and the ambiance elegant and chic. Location was ideal - just steps from the Lincoln center theaters. Would definitely go back, even without theater tickets!

    Everything was great. But on the expensive side…. Four entrees, one dessert, one soda, a focaccia came to a bit under $250…

    Great service and delicious food, well made cocktails. Perfect early dinner pre Opera. Was very surprised how quiet the restaurant was on a Friday night given how good the food and service is. It should be a dinner destination regardless of seeing a show or not. Beautiful location on Lincoln Center Plaza. Highly recommend.
