   In its 12 or so years of existence, Lincoln remains a bastion of consistency, great food and service amid a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

   We had an early dinner at Lincoln , 1st time. Had a drink at the bar where the bartender made sure we were aware of all the Happy Hour mixed drink choices as we were unaware and ready to order full price. Appreciated this. Got a peach infused Tito's drink that we very refreshing and not too citric. The restaurant has a warm ambiance and uses very ecofriendly lighting fixtures and decor while weaving in Lincoln nostalgia everywhere. The Lincoln pennies under the a see thru plexiglass bar surface is very creative design. I like the super big white tufted "throne" as the centerpiece and the bathroom doors with Abe and Mary Todd lead you to the proper one. The menu was not vast but a good variety of dishes that all sounded Lincoln era. We both ordered the chicken pot pie which is made from scratch and absolutely delicious. The crust puff layered crust cooked golden brown, the chunks of chicken breast are tender and tasty, it had veggies and the gravy was super flavorful. We ordered fingerling potatoes on the side that we split which were roasted and spiced, cooked to perfection with a large pat of spiced butter melting on top. No potatoes in the pot pie, rather have the veggies and add potatoes as needed. no dessert as we were very full. Service was very responsive but it was not crowded since we ate early. And there was no rush, it was very relaxing meal. We definitely will go back to Lincoln again.

   Spent $9 on an appetizer (bread rolls). Only got 2 small rolls. Service was pretty slow. Food was ok but definitely not worth the price.

   Disappointed the penny floor was gone but everything else was amazing. Especially loved the happy hour food options including the sliders and Mac & cheese and the Parker house rolls on the small bites.

   Got there early for brunch. Parking was easy for a Sunday morning. We had the unlimited brunch special. Was able to get a taste of the waffles, French toast sticks, Mac and cheese, omelet and Brussels sprouts. All were extremely tasty. Service was fast and pleasant. Moses was our server and he was phenomenal! Our champagne flutes never went empty!! Will definitely go back.

    I wanted to come here specifically for the happy hour deals (And it was on a Saturday! We love a weekend happy hour!!) . I was pleasantly surprised by how great the service was as well as how delicious the food and drinks were. My friend and I LOVED the Lady Lincoln cocktail. We got half of the happy hour bites (mac + cheese, brussels, and chicken pot pie). All of it was delicious, and special shoutout to the chicken pot pie. They prepare the drinks very quickly. The servers are so sweet and made sure to check in often as it got closer to the end of happy hour. HIGHLY recommend Lincoln!

    The server was not good at all. He didn’t remember our orders, it took us 40 minutes to get coffees (there were only two tables in the restaurant), and he forgot to bring about 1/3 of what we had ordered. I won’t be back.

    Loved the look for the decor from pictures. 10/10. Seated immediate for Sunday brunch, small to moderate crowd. Pancakes came quickly from kitchen and was fresh. Bacon was hard and greasy. 2/10 Waited so long for waiter to bring extra condiments that food went cold. 2/10 Overall excellent ambiance (vibe), moderate food and service. 6.5/10, May try it again.

    The food was amazing for the brunch, the mimosas and Bellinis were flowing, and we had a fantastic time. The only thing a bit out of the norm was that the waitress told us there was an issue with the register when it came time to pay our bill and she recommended we pay via an app, which seemed as though it may have been someone’s personal account. Would definitely go again though!

    Visiting DC from Philly for the weekend, my mom, aunt, cousin and I found Lincoln had availability for brunch. We opted for the $59 all-you-can-eat and bottomless brunch option. Brandy, our AMAZING server told us to trust her and that she would bring out enough food for us to be able to sample everything. Every single solitary thing we tried was PHENOMENAL! It killed us not to finish everything. The short ribs, Mac and Cheese, and French toast sticks were my personal favorite. And the mimosas and Bellinis just kept flowing. Again, Brandy was just the best! Friendly and sweet, and super knowledgeable of the menu. Just the best experience!

    Found food to be underwhelming. Starting w drinks that were mediocre,appetizers were just ok. Parker house rolls were stale and cold,were supposed to be a signature dish. The Shrimp and grits were overly salted and too spicy. The halibut was prepared nicely. The apple dessert was just a scoop of gelato on some stale crumbs of cake. For special events such as Valentines they need to step up their game. Also the waitress needs a new job she was not well suited for this profession.

    The food is excellent--we ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and they were delectable: perfectly roasted with pear jam and allspice crema (a signature item). It was the perfect combination of savory cooked vegetable with a sweet touch. The honey bourbon short rib was tender and delicious, and the portion was just right--not too much. Our waiter, Felix, made us the best Irish coffee we've ever had, a recipe with Mexican espresso, a combination of Bailey's Irish Cream and Irish whiskeys, and hand-whipped cream, with a touch of lime. All future Irish Coffees will now be judged by this standard.

    Having been to Lincoln in the past, I was disappointed. The food was uneven. Admittedly, this was my first time for brunch. Plus, I had not been to the restaurant in a long time--maybe 7 or 8 years. I plan to go back to make sure.

    Sadly, this was a disappointment. We think Lincoln is having staffing issues both in the kitchen and dining room. Our food was not good, drinks were bad, and service was sketchy. Our waitress was very personable, just not attentive. It seemed she was the only waiter for the seven tables dining while we were there

    The brunch experience here was not great. The potatoes, omelet, and waffle were the only good dishes on the menu. The Mac and cheese was watery, the mimosa’s did not taste good either. It appears that they are short staffed so I do give some grace there. However, I would not recommend for anyone to go there nor would I go back.

    arrived for a 10am reservation and did not get service from our waiter Jude, for 40min; had to ask another server about where our table staff was; thankfully Brandy brought us our drinks and continued to provide back up service. I enjoyed the food and the small plate offerings, I just wished our service was more consistent.

    We booked last time slot for new years night. I knew it might be tricky, but I called ahead and confirmed the time they are closing. I was told it is 11 pm but they will stay open past 12 am and we can meet new years eve there. When we arrived, hostess greeted us and was nice. Place was nearly empty to my confusion. We were provided new years eve accessories which made my daughter happy. Also I was aware there is no kids menu, but she was ordering Mac and cheese anyway so that was not an issue. The issue was service. Initially, before we placed an order, waitress was attentive enough. We were told that we had about 10 minutes left to order food before kitchen closing and we did so. To our confusion, food came out literally 5 minutes after we ordered. Don't understand how good steak can be cooked in that much time. My husband was never given a knife for his steak. We asked for it the server who brought the food, but he never came back. I couldn't locate any of the servers for probably the next 10 minutes. Only after that time I was able to locate someone to get us the knife to just start eating. Also, before, when we were ordering the food, I asked waitress if we should order desserts ahead of time since kitchen is closing but we were assured that we don't have too and it's not an issue. As soon as we started eating, literally placing first piece of food in the mouth, waitress ran up to us to order desserts ASAP in the next minute if we want it. That was kind of disturbing. But whatever, we ordered. Ribeye was tasteless and very fatty. Halibut and apple and goat cheese salad were good. Mac and cheese was good too. Drinks were good. Waitress came over about 3 more times during our meal to tell us that the dessert is coming soon, which made no sense but whatever again. As we were done eating, nobody came up to us for a while. We had all the dirty dishes for about next 30 minutes. We just sat there. Staff was cleaning the place up and looked rushing out before 11 pm.
