We always like to sit at the bar, but luckily we had also made a reservation as no seats were available at the bar. We had a fabulous table for two overlooking the plaza’s sculpture and water-feature. The frito misto was crispy and a little spicy, with excellent sauce. My friend’s steak was cooked to perfection and my pappardelle was very good and just the right portion. Our water was so nice and attentive, and we ended up lingering instead of going to the concert we were thinking of attending at Julliard. It’s always a delight to eat here!

We had a great experience, my daughter and I, dining at Lincoln Ristorante this past Friday afternoon before attending Swan Lake Ballet. Amit was one the best servers that I have ever had, he was very welcoming and very kind and knowledgable and made great suggestions for drinks and food choices. This is our second time here in two years, and second time seems to be better than the first time, in terms of food taste and quality and the restaurant’s overall service. Good choice for dinner before a show at Lincoln Center or any other show in the nearby vicinity. I will definitely come back again in the future when the opportunity arises.

Took 20 minutes to get menus. We asked for food at once and they coursed it out. Said we needed to be out by a certain time (twice), and kitchen failed to make that happen.

Our food was actually underwhelming to say the least. We were so disappointed in our small plates that we asked for the check before a main course. We normally like the restaurant but not this time.

Still my favorite restaurant in the Lincoln Center area. They know how to get you out for a show at Lincoln Center or elsewhere. Superb food and superb service. Couldn’t be more convenient either.
