Christmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!

We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!

This is my first visit to the Lincoln for brunch, and I was pleased by the food options and bottomless mimosas. The music playlist added a great vibe to the experience. Our waiter was excellent! and the manager sorry if I’m mistaken, but I think his name is Mark was very friendly and attentive. Looking forward having brunch at the Lincoln again!

Unlike many DC restaurants, Macon is quiet and relaxing. The servers are very pleasant and they don't pressure guests to free up table space. I always enjoy what I order. Macon is a neighborhood gem.
