Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Lincoln

We had an incredible dinner here! Loved every moment and every bite.

Sycamore creates consistently excellent food and drinks. Last night's boudin blanc is a treasure -- only prepared in December, and it runs out in early January -- is it a delicate, flavorful white sausage that is like eating soft clouds of umami. So good! Also, the lamb two ways was exceptional -- small rack plus lamb confit wrapped in dark leaves, served on a flavorful couscous. They also happily prepared a vegetarian version of their gemelli carbonara, with chunks of squash and forest mushrooms. Bartender Scott remains a standout -- makes great drinks and is funny and whimsical. Owner Dave was gracious, as always. We have been to Sycamore time and time again, and they never disappoint.

Great brunch place with variety of delicious options available.

My husband and I went for dinner (first timers) and I picked the place because of their decor. What a fabulous experience: service was immaculate, great food, affordable prices for the food AND adult drinks, excellent band with outstanding repertoire, we loved the ambiance. It has been ages that I recommended a place, this is IT!

Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!
