The Lincoln is truly a hidden gem. We had a wonderful dining experience with creative cocktails and a variety of appetizers. We were able to take advantage of the Boston Dine Out deal and the $1 oyster & shrimp offer. Then we ordered a Burrata pizza, Wagyu steak sliders, and the Ribeye steak. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious! Can’t wait to return for brunch. The staff did a great job. Cool atmosphere too. Highly recommend to everyone.

Overall, we had a really great experience. Loved the duck wings in particular and the fact that thee mocktails were not basically as expensive as the cocktails as you see at many other restaurants in Boston.

Pork Milanese was bursting with flavors and was a huge portion while others at the table had more moderate portions with their entrees. Everyone at our table loved their entrees.
