“We ordered the special Trout Fillets, and it was excellent overall. The asparagus was the only disappointment. We also ordered truffle fries and brussel sprouts as starters, and loved both. Our cocktails (Rob Roy and Mango Mojito) were outstanding. Service as excellent. Friendly and attentive, but not overly attentive. The restaurant was quite full, and we were still able to converse and hear each other fine (and I can struggle with this). Whenever we have out of town guests we like to bring them to Green Gateau because we are seldom disappointed. We love that it is a Lincoln original and has survived so many years.“

“My husband and I stopped for dinner at Don and Millie's on 56th Street in Lincoln. The food, as always, was outstanding (they by far make the best cheeseburger in Lincoln...hand-formed beef patties with just the right amount of juiciness)....when we left, FOUR different employees acknowledged us. The worker sweeping the floor told us to have a great evening, and he thanked us for coming, the person working in the kitchen thanked us and told us to have a nice evening, the guy wiping tables thanked us and told us to come back, and the person at the order counter said goodbye and thanked us for coming. WOW! Good food and great service! You just don't find that kind of employee kindness and attention anymore, so Don and Millies now has a permanent customer with us!“
