   Amit was outstanding. Been a while but food was as good as ever, had a tight turn with an 8pm show and Amit kept everything on track.

   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.

   What a wonderful experience. Amit, our waiter, was fantastic, as was the rest of the staff including the manager Octavio. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome. Food was fantastic and the atmosphere created the start of a night to remember, leading into the opera. Will definitely be back.

   The ambiance here is wonderful and the proximity to Lincoln Center is a plus. But the most outstanding feature of our meal was the service. Our server Amit went above and beyond to insure our meal was pleasurable. I’ve never had such incredible service anywhere in all my years and travels.

    As repeat dinners at Lincoln over the years, the food remains incredible. Special pasta and the mainstay Doppio Duck Ravoli always wows. The Sunchokes and Puntarelle were excellent especially the anchovy. Apple limoncello spritz hit the spot and a Pino Grigio from Veneto was sublime. Espresso, cappuccino and Sweet Bites rounded out the meal. So, early to a birthday celebration, pre-opera and quality control was not good. Horrible table, on a runway, limited view, sandwiched between a bus station and wine cooler stand, the table was dirty and stained and would remain that way throughout, waiter’s apron was stained, etc. No offer of pepper or cheese, and the one pasta could have benefited from both. When we asked to move the wine stand so that the staff would stop bumping the chairs, it was an ordeal even though both tables were empty. Sad actually, but our waiter Cincezo was charming even if the Sommelier blew us off after not having the Sicilian wine we inquired about since we had recently visited there. We are still hooked on opera and great cuisine, we just wish the experience met our expectations. We had a great time anyway. Thx, Marco Polo
