Lincoln at Lincoln Center

Lincoln is a fine dining restaurant at the Lincoln Center. It has a very open concept - the restaurant is all windows including windows into the kitchen. The restaurant is layed out nicely so that it doesn't seem as large as it is. One sides looks out onto the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Center Plaza. The food was Italian inspired with a bit of creativity.

Items Ordered

Bread and Amuse Bouche

It's worth noting that the bread was really good and there was quite a variety of options. It was served with olive oil and a bean paste. The amuse bouche was a crispy bread with a burst of flavor ontop.

Maplebrook Farm's Burratina

Maplebrook Farm's Burratina

The burratina was a very fresh soft mild tasting cheese. The salad was mostly beans - a variety I've never had before. I was hoping the salad would have more tomatoes in it since they were delicious and in season, but there were only a couple of tomatoes.

Lasagna Vincisgrassi

Lasagna Vincisgrassi

The lasagna was served as a round lasagna - very unique. Otherwise it was just a typical, but really good, lasagne.

Bistecca

Bistecca

The steak was really flavorful and not too tough. The tomatoes on the side were excellent and full of flavor.

Pollo Fritto Con Insalata Mista

Pollo Fritto Con Insalata Mista

The fried chicken was very moist. The breading had a bit of spices in it and wasn't as heavy as most fried chickens. The market chicories were a bitter red and white lettuce. I found this dish was lacking something, but I wasn't sure what, maybe a sauce.
