Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Lincoln

We had an incredible dinner here! Loved every moment and every bite.

Sycamore creates consistently excellent food and drinks. Last night's boudin blanc is a treasure -- only prepared in December, and it runs out in early January -- is it a delicate, flavorful white sausage that is like eating soft clouds of umami. So good! Also, the lamb two ways was exceptional -- small rack plus lamb confit wrapped in dark leaves, served on a flavorful couscous. They also happily prepared a vegetarian version of their gemelli carbonara, with chunks of squash and forest mushrooms. Bartender Scott remains a standout -- makes great drinks and is funny and whimsical. Owner Dave was gracious, as always. We have been to Sycamore time and time again, and they never disappoint.

Fantastic meal - can’t miss with the Parker House rolls and amazing shrimp dish

My husband and I went for dinner (first timers) and I picked the place because of their decor. What a fabulous experience: service was immaculate, great food, affordable prices for the food AND adult drinks, excellent band with outstanding repertoire, we loved the ambiance. It has been ages that I recommended a place, this is IT!

Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!
