Our table of 7 was so impressed by the quality of the meal, wine and service. Each dish was flavorful, elegant and fulfilling! Still dreaming about the most tender lamb shank and polenta corn side dish!! Service was amazing. Attentive, warm, educational and kind!! Never felt rushed or was there a lag in between courses. Don't miss the desserts! Fantastic spot for a beautiful experience. Chefs and Staff were professional and on point all night!!
We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience that pastry chef Richard Capizzi and the entire staff at Lincoln provided to us last evening. From the warm, inviting atmosphere to the amazing and perfectly paired selection of culinary delights, the night was one of our most memorable fine dining experiences. The passion and enthusiasm of the staff provided for an impeccable dinner. The service, food and presentation were top notch, and left us with only one regret -- that we hadn't tried Lincoln Ristorante sooner! We will certainly be back, and cannot wait to share our experience with friends and family.
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.
My husband surprised me with a birthday dinner here before we watched the show Giselle. The servers are super friendly and make me feel very warm welcomed. The food is delicious, especially the cavier on top a small piece of fried potato which was just devine. The octopus was also super delicious with soft but perfectly chewy feeling inside mouth.
Beautiful restaurant near the Met opera. Food was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Expensive
This place is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by glass exterior, which allows the beautiful center to be the backdrop.
The service was kind but our waiter seemed to be rushing us a bit towards the end. Now, for the food. I'm not big on Italian food but this was an experience. The agnoletti with oxtail was a party in my mouth. It was so good, I had it twice. Don't skip it.
Chef Orlovskyy and his team put out a phenomenal meal. My wife and I enjoyed every dish we had and the service was top notch. The restaurant design was quite unique as well. Highly recommended and will return during another visit.
Have eaten at Lincoln Ristorante a couple of times over the years. This was the first time we've been here for Thanksgiving. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The 3 course pre-fix at 95 dollars per person also seemed fair as well for the experience we had. We highly recommend Lincoln Ristorante and would definitely come back again over Thanksgiving time or any other time for that matter. This is an excellent restaurant.
Superb cuisine, attentive service by welcoming staff, with stunning views of reflecting pool, made our first visit a delight. Interior, in an architectural gem, is impeccable. Table setting, no less than exquisite. As we enjoyed a scrumptious brunch from a creative menu, we will be returning soon.
Not quite as good as it should be given the prices but the perfect pre-opera location. Himachi was incredibly skimpy but tasty. Salad was very good but not super fresh. Excellent service and atmosphere. It’s tough to find a good place near Lincoln Center….

The Lincoln Restaurant at Lincoln Center offers an elegant dining experience with excellent meals from which to choose. The Fritto Misto won my heart immediately. You will like your dinner here without question. The only problem was that our party of five sat in a booth that was rather spread out. That would have been fine except there was a speaker directly above our table blaring mediocre music. I wanted to rip it out of the ceiling so I could hear table mates but decided that would be frowned upon.
