   This is a pricey restaurant and the portion sizes are very small. Additionally, the service was mediocre. While it was only 8:50 pm and no one was waiting for tables, the wait staff seemed eager to get us to leave. At one point, a busser stood glaring at my dinner companion, seemingly to make clear he wanted us to leave. The location is fantastic, but it's unlikely I would go back.

   Wonderful atmosphere combined with good food, contemporary chic design, and a sound level that begets conservation.

   The front desk took note of my 90yo mum’s hearing difficulty and seated us at a small semi secluded table away from music speakers. The bench seating was pleasantly comfortable - even considering mum’s spinal issues. The wait staff was efficient, discrete and charming. Our Gentleman waiter, Amit, was top notch. He fussed gracefully over my mum and made certain we were able to dine leisurely while still leaving in time for the slow walk to the ballet - mum uses a cane and is quite slow but steady. I was visiting from Southern New Mexico and wanted a special treat for mum since I missed her 90th in January. The Lincoln Ristorante, wait staff, bar staff made this a most lively evening for us both. While I only get East once a year, I’ll be bring mum back again when I return.

   The service at Lincoln has been wonderful every time we've been there. The food is delicious, although this time my pasta was a bit salty. Our only complaint this visit was that our table was quote sticky. But we love this restaurant -- the building is just fabulous, the menu inventive, and the service delightful.

   Location location and excellent food, at a price. This has amazing ambiance just steps away from Lincoln Center. (Shredded romaine with Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar should not be $18, for example.) Servers were attentive and lovely. When I inquired about the lack of a bread service in this Italian restaurant ( either complimentary or for sale) , the chef sent me a small loaf of something intended to be part of another course.

   The service was impeccable and Chef Artem was amazing as usual. Barbara was very nice, came over and chatted for a bit. The night is always great at Lincoln

   Lincoln Ristorante presented a perfect location and delicious menu for a lovely Easter lunch. I hadn’t been back for a number of years, but everything was as I remembered in its beautiful Lincoln Center location.

   Possibly the best Italian cuisine in New York City. Two different pasta dishes were outstanding, and our server "Amit" was 'old school' attentive and caring.

    Poor service, lack of communication, no attention for water refills, rigid kitchen. Not willing to accommodate. Needs to improve ability to please diner.
