   Food is usually very good but this time just okay. Like many downtown DC restaurants, Lincoln has been on the decline the past couple of years. Was hopeful that a Valentine's Day Dinner would be special but sadly disappointed.

   Great food. However the service could have been better. 30 minutes to get our drink had to ask where it was. Waiter forgot to put in our appetizer, tables all around we’re having the same issues— maybe they were short staffed

   I was shocked it was quiet on a Friday night considering how GREAT the food and the vibe of the place was!!! Food was amazing, ambiance was great, and the staff went out of their way to make my mom’s birthday super special!! I’ll be back, Lincoln!!!!

   Absolutely amazing food! Service could have been better but it was a busy time with a lot of tourists so I don’t blame them.

   For DC the price is decent for what you get. Omelet station always great 👍. Waffle station has many options and the food variety was delicious. I loooove the bacon! This is a regular spot for me.

   Went for a family New Year’s brunch and everything was absolutely lovely. Decided to order a la carte instead of the brunch buffet and it was a good move… we could hardly eat wht we order let alone go for seconds. Any restaurant that can satisfy a Boomer. Gen X, Gen Z and Gen ALpha to the point of being stuffed to our eyelids on a holiday is a winner in my book.

   Server was super nice and friendly when we saw him. He even asked the kitchen if we could get chicken pot pies which were not on the holiday menu (no chicken on holiday menu at all). $60 Grass Fed NY Strip had a ton of fat, which they gave us $10 off when we commented on it, which was appreciated. Overall, food was decent but not worth the cost.

   The food was off the chain. The owner (Alen) came out to ensure our service was primo. Loved it, will recommend to all my friends. I even recommend it to our Lyft drive who is going to take his wife there.

    Food is bad. No taste and comes out cold from the kitchen.
