The food and beverages were great. I wasn't overlay impressed with where they sat us. I put on the reservation that it was a first date and they completely ignored that. Other than that it was a great experience.
We LOVE Lincoln Street Kitchen, the food is amazing, the prices are very reasonable, the drinks are all so fresh! Everything is sourced locally (or as local as possible), and it's all the highest quality! A must get item is the deviled eggs!!!! My boyfriend and I go for brunch and dinner pretty consistently, and it's always a 10/10. Highly recommend to everyone who asks!
Our food was pretty good but the portions were tiny the drinks were just ok. The service was slow and inattentive. Overall, I doubt we would go back.
This was our first visit but won't be the last. The manager was so kind and even wished us a Happy Anniversary which was such a nice touch! The waitress was kind and patient as we figured out what we wanted. The rooftop was a perfect choice and the food was wonderful. Not huge portions but filling and delicious!
We truly enjoy brunch before a Panthers game here. The food is always fresh and scratch made. Service is always on point.
Typically I do not leave many reviews but I felt compelled to in this case because this restaurant has great potential. I was excited to try it out when I dropped in this past weekend. The atmosphere and ambience were very nice, and I liked the lighting and overall vibe. Service was fine, but the food and portion sizes were the main issue.
I appreciate that they avoid seed oils and cook the fries in beef tallow, but the overall food experience was disappointing. I ordered the bread service, wagyu tartare, tuna tostada, pasta of the week, steak sandwich, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato fries. The bread was dry and lacked flavor. The tartare was overpowered by the feta which threw off the taste. The tuna tostada was just okay, not bad but not great, and the portion was very small. The sweet potato fries were soggy which was surprising since I had heard they were usually much better.
The pasta of the week was actually very good, but for twenty dollars the portion was extremely small, if not the smallest I have ever received anywhere. The steak sandwich was solid and I was happy with that.
All in all, the foundation is here for something really good, but the food design, flavor, and portioning need improvement. I would be willing to pay a little more for better portion sizes. Spending fifty dollars and leaving hungry does not feel right. I would only go again if the menu and execution improve, but I do hope they make those changes because the place truly has potential.

Lincoln Street Kitchen is the gem of the neighborhood for me! The cocktails are truly tailor-made— with unique essences that give each drink its own creator. The food is consistently delicious, comforting yet creative, and the atmosphere just wraps around you.

This was by far one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I came with three of my friends, and it was clear we were being treated differently. The way we were dismissed and disrespected by our server, Yvonne, was unacceptable. She was rude, brushed us off while we were talking, and acted as if we were a burden rather than paying customers. What made the situation even worse was that the manager, Ian, was made aware and did absolutely nothing. He didn’t step in, didn’t apologize, and seemed completely fine with the way we were being treated. That level of indifference from management shows that this is not just a “bad server,” but a culture that tolerates discriminatory and unprofessional behavior. No one should ever have to spend money somewhere that treats guests like this. It was uncomfortable, humiliating, and deeply disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
The whole experience was a travesty. To walk into a place and to be automatically profiled and treated like a gnat is highly disappointing. Ian the manager was notified of our disgusting treatment and was completely unbothered by his staffs performance. Yvonne made sure that we would not be returning with every eye roll and deep breath. I myself am in hospitality and basically tip and avoid confrontation at all costs, due to that fact that servers are human too. The fact that Ian was completely silent and complacent with the situation made it so much worse. We walked out and left with our drinks full and most of our food still on the table with a “better luck next time” attitude. This experience let me know all I needed to know and I will not beg to give anyone my money. Don’t come here 0/10 would not recommend.

The atmosphere was great! I would go there for a drink next time and spend money on food at a different restaurant. Our waitress was not great and kept forgetting to bring things we asked for - it was not that busy.

Bar staff busy making well drinks for about 25 minutes and did not check on us  I think they both just thought the other person was checking on us
Delicious food and has good gluten free options! The drinks were also delicious. Enjoyable atmosphere.

This was a dinner celebration for my birthday back in July that I didn’t get to connect with two of my friends. The food was absolutely amazing but what was spectacular were the peppers the appetizer they were absolutely delicious. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have oysters. They were still on the menu, but the waitress explained that they change the menu so this day make me a little sad as I really want to try the oysters however, everything else was still very delicious.It was a little bit loud and a little crowded, but I think that was only because it was on a day of the soccer game and so people were celebrating, but it was still a great experience. I would definitely go back. Our waitress warmed up after a little bit. She was a little standoffish at first, but I think she warmed up with us as we were there. A great place to have dinner with friends or for a date night.

Stopped in for a drink was met by a fantastic bartender Rai. Out going personality knows how to make awesome drinks make you feel very comfortable. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail and ask for Rai. I’m from Jersey and will definitely stop in for a drink when back in town.
