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

   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.

   I made a reservation 3 weeks in advance for a pre-theater dinner. When we arrived, all tables outside were amply. We asked for a table outdoors and were offered the small table in the sun. Me and my friend were wearing evening dark clothes, and we asked for one of the tables under umbrellas (they were all empty). However, we were told they are for 4 people and they can't give it to us! We got a table indoors, but our mood was ruined! Our disappointment was even greater when ALL 3 tables under umbrellas were given to the 2 people parties who came after us!!! Your hostesses must know that they set up the mood of the customers for the whole evening, and being so unaccomodating is NOT what the fine dining is about. I will not come back although I used to dine at this place often!

   We absolutely loved our dinner. The potato & caviar bites, tiny as they were, were delicious. Orzo & Lobster tasted great. I particularly loved the fragrant herbs they used in it. Spaghetti with crabmeat was delicious as well. The service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend Lincoln Ristorante as a pre-opera or post-opera experience.
