"Slink away from the bustle of the stadium, but keep the game day spirit within reach at Lincoln Street Kitchen and Cocktails in South End. Walkable to the stadium, this airy, sun-drenched restaurant is casual enough to rep a jersey but nice enough to feel like a relief from rowdy dives. Menu highlights include Waygu tartare, steak frites, and a house pimento cheese appetizer, and the plush challah toast with berries and ricotta at brunch is a sweet-tooth satiator. The rooftop patio here, flaunting the Carolina blue sky, is one of the city’s hidden gems. As is Lincoln Street’s sneaky high-end bar, The Green Room, tucked behind a sliding door at the host stand." - Kayleigh Ruller

"With a warm interior, this part-bar-cafe-dinner-and-brunch restaurant is certainly nice enough to take a date, but also a lovely spot for the gals. The brunch leans on the lighter side with aleppo and dill Turkish eggs, pickled shallot deviled eggs, and the berry rosewater or pomegranate mimosa. The pecan vodka and Fernet-spiked cold brew are very much must-trys." - Kayleigh Ruller, Nikki Miller-Ka

"This bistro has been flying so far below the radar, even a lot of locals haven’t heard of it yet. But Amanda Britton’s cocktails always attract attention (she developed a passionate following at Bardo and the late Orto). Don’t miss her house shrubs and natural sodas. The food is contemporary Southern, with touches like pimento cheese with bacon jam, North Carolina-caught ceviche and deviled eggs, and there’s a creative brunch on weekends. Insider tip: Classic cocktails are $8 all day on Wednesday, and the hunky District Burger is only $9 Tuesday through Thursday. Play your cards right and you can get a dinner deal even your accountant will love." - Kathleen Purvis

Excellent dining experience - on numerous occasions - but especially for dinner/late night cocktails. While they do it all and do it all reasonably well at that. They excel at creating a dinner & cocktail experience that feels both hip upscale yet full of southern charm. As our waitress stated, you really can't go wrong with anything on their dinner menu - the chef creates beautifully balanced flavors. The staff are all very pleasant and attentive. And overall they are able to accommodate even last minute reservations which is very appreciated. The only negative for me personally is that the inside gets a bit loud, good if you like the crowd feel, but the rooftop and (new) patio dining in front are perfect spots to enjoy a chill meal and some fresh evening air! Pictures: Tuno Crudo (100% would recommend - shocked by how good the flavors mix), Pan-Roasted Chicken w/gumbo & okra, Black Striped Seabass, Citrus Creme Brulee (best desert in Southend for anyone who loves citrus). Drinks: Hanging Garden & Ember's Kiss. Would recommend all of these!

Great Saturday brunch at Lincoln Street. 2nd visit here and the biscuit and gravy was just as good as I remembered! Multiple people enjoyed the huevos rancheros. Bacon and hash were excellent. Reserved a table for 5 the morning of with no issues. Definitely walk ins available for smaller groups. Make sure to arrive with your whole party or they won’t seat you. Great service, highly recommend.

What an enjoyable experience! From beginning to end, Lincoln Street Kitchen delivered on a tasty brunch. First, the host and server couldn't have been nicer. Super friendly and helpful staff. And the place is cute inside with a small rooftop deck for nice days upstairs. The food was delicious. I opted for the blueberry waffle, a side of eggs and a side of thick cut bacon. My friend went with the breakfast sando with a side of potato hash. The eggs were cooked to perfection; the potatoes needed a bit more seasoning. The waffle was delicious- just not hot. The bacon was a bit fatty but delish with amazing flavor. And the bloody mary (made extra spicy) was perhaps the best I've ever had. Amaze. I'd recommend and look forward to returning on my next trip to Charlotte!

Food is freshly made with great flavor! Prices are awesome and the location is beautiful. They have a special before 6:30pm- Appetizers for $5. The deviled eggs were great (they aren’t sweetened with relish). I had the Pan Chicken with a side of Brussels, perfectly cooked, sauce was phenomenal. Drink- Yellow Ranger, which was just sweet enough and strong! The staff members were incredibly kind and always available for assistance. The lighting is very low so be mindful if you have vision issues. Parking is on the one way road just outside the location which is perfect if you have heels. Price was $54.00- Chicken, deviled eggs, extra side of Brussels, and 1 cocktail.

My absolute go to for brunch In Charlotte . Everytime I go I order multiple entrees it’s just that good ! Highly recommend the Turkish eggs , the yogurt parfait (has the best granola inside ) and the eggs in purgatory but everything is great . Plus they use seed oil free ingredients which I love !

My husband and my son, took me to Lincoln St. Kitchen & Cocktails for Brunch on the Saturday before Mother's Day and it was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! The mimosas were delicious, the french press coffee was delicious, the food was so delicious (from the biscuits, the Wagyu Steak and Eggs, the Eggs Benedict, and to mini waffles) everything was just great! The server staff was so excellent, never worrying about which server the table was with but just making sure that all the tables had what they wanted and needed!! We are so looking forward to doing dinner there! Definitely Highly Recommend!

Came with a large group for our annual Galentine's brunch. The staff was professional and did a great job accommodating our large party. Highly recommend reservations as it’s a small dining area. Food and service was great.

My husband and I absolutely love this restaurant it never disappoints. We finally had an evening where the whole family was home on a Saturday evening, and we decided to come here. Love the duck fat fries, I love ketchup with my fires and I didn’t need any ketchup for these fries. My husband got the carb of the day and my daughter one of the sandwiches with the focaccia bread she loved it. Since my husband is a vegetarian we didn’t order the bone marrow. My daughter and I will get the bone marrow next time we go.

Exceeded my expectations! We had brunch reservations on a Sunday afternoon for a large group, and both the food and service did not disappoint. I'll preface by saying it's a bit on the pricey side (ex. $7 for a side of bacon). HOWEVER, the food is pretty dang good (ie. 4 slices of the thickest-cut, maple deliciousness bacon you ever did see). We were also celebrating a bride-to-be, and they brought us complimentary champagne! For food, we split the deviled eggs, a side of bacon, and I ordered the avocado toast. I was apprehensive because the avocado toast was certainly a more "boring" option compared to other menu options, but DON'T sleep on that toast!! Crispy sourdough with fresh feta spread and piled high with mashed avocado, a dollop of tomato jam, a perfectly poached egg, and some spices. Would definitely recommend! Others at my table ordered the eggs purgatory, Turkish eggs, croque madam, egg sando, waffles and French toast. I didn't hear a single complaint! Would love to come back and try the cocktails!

My wife and I visited Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails during her birthday weekend.. We started with the Roasted Shishito Peppers, which were tasty. However, we wished they came with bread to help soak up the sauce and serve as a base for the peppers. We ordered a side of bread separately, which worked well. My wife had the Bolognese. The pasta was delicious, with a great chew that made it feel fresh. The sauce was flavorful, though it could have used a bit more meat, especially given the price. I had the Pan-Roasted Chicken, which was tender with a good texture. The sauce was decent, but I felt the dish could have been more substantial. We were hoping to try the Confit Sofrito Cheshire Pork Belly, but unfortunately, they were out of it, so we'll have to come back for that. Since it was my wife's birthday, they brought out a complimentary brookie with ice cream. Sadly, it wasn't to our liking--it was dry and crunchy, even with the ice cream, so we didn't enjoy it as much but it was complimentary and they did bring her a hand written birthday note which was very nice of them The restaurant itself was pleasant--clean, with a nice ambiance, and our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, the meal had its highs and lows, but we'd give it another try to sample some of the dishes we missed.

Went to Lincoln Street for the first time after being recommended and it was a great experience! Food was quick and our server was awesome (shoutout to miss Joy). I had the egg sando which was amazing and huge! The side potatoes were our favorite part. Good brunch drinks and food, it was a tiny bit loud but overall ambiance was nice. I will be coming back!

No complains while dining at Lincoln Street for a birthday brunch. Service was speedy, food was delicious and vibes were high. Love that it's connected to their sister restaurant as well didn't know that! Would recommend

Love this place! The food is always amazing, especially the shishito peppers, the chicken, and the salmon. The atmosphere is reallly cool, in a historic building. They have great beer and cocktails too. We always have great service.

I took a stroll over to Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails for a light brunch after seeing a recommendation in a Facebook comment. I decided to sit at the bar and ordered the Wagyu & Eggs. This dish features a smaller portion of Snake River Farms Wagyu beef, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, two poached eggs, a side of delicious potato hash, and a mini ramekin of Béarnaise sauce. The Wagyu was perfectly prepared and seasoned just right. One quick note: they don't have Diet Coke, but they do offer Mexican Coke by the bottle. Overall, Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails is a fantastic spot for brunch and cocktails. I'm already looking forward to returning for dinner!

I came in and sat the bar, the bartender ignored me for about 10 minutes then placed water in front of me and said absolutely nothing. I asked someone else walking by for a menu since no one had said anything to me. The bartender never asked if i wanted a drink or food or anything. I eventually stopped a manager to explain how i was being ignored. She took care of our drinks orders since the bartender didn't seem to care. We got our food in and it took a little while to come but it was so good. I liked it here but the service was piss poor for the one particular bartender, everyone else was nice. I appreciate the manager for trying to rectify the situation! She offered to comp our drinks and the bartender still charged us for them. If i do come back I'll be sitting at a table.

Absolutely incredible experience at this establishment time and time again. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to ensure that my group was able to find a cocktail that was perfect for us. The vibes are immaculate as well, great spot for a conversational atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an exceptional cocktail.

I met a friend here for brunch on a Saturday and had a marvelous time. Our service was helpful and hilarious. I ordered the pomegranate rose water mimosa and it was my favorite mimosa flavor I've ever had. Our server recommended the Cuban so I ordered that and it was so so good, and not too huge. I can't wait to come back, the atmosphere is relaxing and adorable, a great brunch spot!

Yelp
This is such a perfect spot for a little rooftop action and some delicious mocktails! As a non drinker I appreciate places where mocktails are a part of the menu. The downstairs is also a vibe. It's the perfect mix of modern and rustic. The bartenders are always friendly and accommodating. Their food is definitely small bites and I find the menu a little limited, but it's the perfect spot for a light bite and a great drink! They do also serve brunch, which I have yet to try out. Next time!

Really cool place to grab some drinks and some food! They have great outside seating and nice rooftop area.

LOVE Lincoln Street Cocktails. The vibe is fun and inviting without it being too loud. Service is always great. The servers here all work together and the bartenders are friendly as well! This is a perfect spot for brunch. To be honest, I go for the mimosa pitchers though, haha. I love the berry mimosa. Food is always fresh. My favorite brunch dish is the Shrimp & Grits. My only gripe is that when I've ordered over easy eggs on two separate occasions, they both came out over hard. They removed them from my bill, which I appreciate, but I really like to enjoy Shrimp & Grits with a runny egg! I haven't come here for dinner, but I am not opposed to trying! I will be back soon!

This spot is a great cocktail bar with their own shrubs. We enjoyed the happy hour special of $5 appetizers with a certain time frame on weekdays. Deviled eggs, lamb skewers and pimento cheese were all very good. I enjoyed the Leila -- most fruit forward of their cocktails. In terms of dessert, the gluten free chocolate cake was disappointing. It tasted bitter. My friend enjoyed her beignets, but they banana flavored (not pumpkin as the menu states). I do want to come back for brunch!

Met a friend here for brunch. I was so hungry when the food came out that I didn't get pictures. We had reservations so there was no wait. It is pretty spacious but it filled up pretty quickly so I would recommend getting reservations. The shrimp and grits was delicious with scrambled eggs and cheese on the side. I had a cocktail that was bourbon based it was delicious... if you have fiends who don't drink they also offer mock tails. Cute for a date and maybe a group of 6 or less. It can get pretty loud in the space.

The food was very flavorful I just wish it was more hot. I looove my food to come out hot and fresh. The service was pretty good. They accommodated our table request. The ambiance is cute but can be a little loud especially with the tables being pretty close together. I've been twice and would go back!

I love their beet salad, so amazing but I don't think they have it on the menu anymore. Everything else is also pretty good. It's like tapas style. The service is good, staff is nice. The ambiance is nice. They have an inside space as well as rooftop area. It's a nice spot in south end.

I can't even, I wish I had one of these in Austin!! They accommodated 7 of us easily and took such good care of us! May the drinks never go dry and the food always be savory! From Brussels sprouts to deviled eggs for apps to chicken and steak for entrees you CANNOT go wrong. Cute, comforting in a way honestly. Cozy! That's the word.

I've been here a few times now for dinner. A great place to meet with friends or family! You literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu - it's all so delicious! I wish there were more options, but what they do have is always a hit! A must drink order is the espresso martini! So yummy! I'd still love to come back for brunch as I've heard great things about their brunch items.

If you're looking for a spot to brunch in Charlotte - give Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails a try! I recently checked out this place with a friend and we had an absolute blast. The bartenders are out of this world! They were so friendly and their recommendations were on point. We tried the Kir Royale, Espresso Martini, and Date with The Night cocktails, which were all amazing. I mean, who doesn't love a good cocktail with brunch? The vibe of the place is so cool and trendy, perfect for a weekend brunch with your crew. And, the location is super easy to find, with street parking nearby and a lot not too far away. But let's be real, you should probably just take a rideshare so you can enjoy more cocktails! I didn't get to try the food this time around, but I can't wait to go back and give it a shot. I'm sure it's just as awesome as the drinks. This is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun and memorable brunch experience. Don't miss out!

Brunch was fantastic, their take on a croque madame was wonderful, as was date with the night cocktail. The atmosphere is nice, outdoor seating on the 2nd level wonderful. Service was very good, highly recommend.

Had a late brunch at Lincoln Street and everything was tasty! This was my first time eating at this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. The brunch menu has a nice variety of items and they also offer several brunch cocktails. I ordered the shrimp and grits and I think the portion was perfect. It was just enough for one sitting. The bacon was to die for and the drinks were good too. For an appetizer we tried deviled eggs and I could have easily eaten a full order myself. They were seasoned perfectly. I see several things on the dinner menu that I hope to try in the future and would like to sit on the rooftop, seems like a nice ambience there too.

Yelp
Solid food and menu! Cute atmosphere for a girls brunch. I was here on a Trip visiting a friend who just moved here with two other girl friends. The food was great and so was the service. The place was very clean and lively for a weekend brunch. Their cocktail menu is advanced looked like they make a lot in house. Two of us got the coffee cocktail and didn't love it so maybe select a different option! The mini waffles were adorable and the avo toast a good portion. The berries were fresh and the yogurt parfait while it sounds basic was definitely worth ordering. We saw another table get bacon and we were all envious! In general portions weren't huge so if you have a sturdy appetite consider ordering a side or two smaller items!

Came here for dinner with a friend and we got seated right away with a reservation even though the place was half full when we went (Tuesday at 6pm). The best part about the dinner were all the specials they had going. My total meal ended up costing much less than it normally would've which was awesome. I got the sidecar drink for $8, the lamb burger special for $9, and we split the deviled egg appetizer for $3. Everything was amazing!! I really enjoyed the quality of the food. Service was good, food didn't take too long to come out and atmosphere was dark, quiet and nice. Brunch also seems good so will definitely be coming back!

My group and I were able to enjoy this place on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with the sun shining and temps around 60s. It was the first day of spring and we finally had a nice day after a cold streak. The rooftop was perfect!!! Overall a decent place for the vibes but the food was nothing to write home about. When: Saturday brunch 1pm; party of 3 Food: 4.3/5 - I got the shrimp & grits while my friends got huevos rancheros and biscuit with sausage gravy. My shrimp and grits were delicious but not the best I've ever had. Wish there was 2-3 more shrimp in there. My friend enjoyed their meals too but the biscuit was very dry and bland, even with the sausage gravy. If you come here, dont come starving as the portions are smaller than other restaurants. Service: 4.3/5 - i called when they opened at 10:30 to get us on the waitlist for 1pm. Was told that was possible and that i would be on a brief hold.. i was on hold for 10 minutes 35 seconds before i hung up!! I tried calling back several times but the line was busy until I finally got through around 12pm and got my name on the list. Our server was decent. Not too friendly or helpful but no complaints. But also no high praises either. The hostess was nice and got me on the waitlist and seated in time. Not sure why there was a waitlist though as there were plenty of tables inside and out- maybe short staffed? Vibes: 4.7/5 - the interior was nice but we were seated on the rooftop which was so nice! The perfect place for perfect weather. However .. beware that there is no shade up there! Don't sit up there on a hot day! Other: call ahead wait list available but recommend reservations if possible. Street parallel parking nearby. Place is connected to craft.

I came here with a group of my friends to try out their drink menu, and it didn't disappoint! They have a wide selection of cocktails, ranging from classic cocktails with a little twist, to some really creative and delicious cocktails. They also have a seasonal cocktail menu that rotates throughout the year. I got to try the Squad Gourds, Words of Wisdom, and the Genius Dawson. Out of the three, I'd say that Words of Wisdom was my favorite - a perfect blend of fruity and herby. The Genius Dawson tastes like a Moscow Mule with a twist, and the Squad Gourds was literally like a pumpkin spice latte - super sweet and honestly almost like a dessert! They have a cute little second floor rooftop, and it has a great view into the city and over some of the other businesses in Southend. There's also space heaters up there, which is great for the colder months. I think this place would be perfect for a date night or just to unwind with some cocktails and a great ambiance. Would recommend!

Yelp
Solid. Food is tasty, dessert was delicious (beignets omg), but the star is the cocktails and house made simple syrups and mixers. Well balanced and inventive and fresh. Service is great-they work with partners to ensure constant service. Ambiance is intimate, hip, and exclusive feeling-especially if you're lucky Enough to get into the speakeasy.

Perfect date night spot or even an early brunch. I loved the ambiance especially from the small rooftop area they had. We went during night time so it was perfectly lit with not to long of a wait. The plates are all tapas style & yet still filling. We were a party of three. So we all chose something different. The wagyu steak was really good and flavorful. I loved especially how they paired it with the yukon potatoes and added a charred onion as well (my favorite part). Their salmon is also a great choice as well. Wasn't dry at all and well seasoned! Me being a bacon lover, you'll win me over everytime if that's thrown into the equation. So definitely get an order of Brussel sprouts because they're just that good! Cocktail wise, you must try the My Sweet, Summer Cocktail! I wasn't too crazy on my first choice when I ordered Pass That Lychee. However, our waiter was so generous enough to swap my drink off and I'm so glad I did. At first I thought the dried fruit was just for looks until she made sure to let us know if was also edible. So you know I went for that first! The drink tasted as good as it looks. I promise you won't be disappointed!

My daughter and I went to Charlotte for a show and decided on Lincoln Street for Saturday brunch. She had been there recently and loved the dinner menu so brunch sounded like an obvious choice. Close to downtown so street parking is more than a little frustrating but we got lucky and found a spot a block away. The space is open and spacious with an industrial feel. Painted brick, steel beams. Lots of cool mirrors draped with greenery, softening the hard edges. Every table was full so it was VERY loud and difficult to have a conversation without yelling. We had a reservation so were seated right away. Our server was a doll and took great care of us. She suggested pomegranate mimosas and they were delicious, not too sweet or strong, perfect for brunch at noon. We shared the biscuit with bacon jam and deviled eggs with pickled shallots to start. Both dishes were solid. That bacon jam was amazing! Loved it. We then ordered avocado toast with tomato jam and feta and the potato hash. The toast was great but the potatoes weren't anything special and needed S & P or some fresh herbs, just bland and overpriced at $7.00. Besides the potatoes and the noise level, we really enjoyed our meal here, I would definitely return next time I'm in Charlotte.!

I'd heard so many great things about Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails that I expected to be completely wowed during my first visit. I went for brunch so let me say that's the only experience I can't speak about. Service was impeccable, and while the breakfast cocktails could be better (aesthetics and taste), I think I ordered the wrong entree. I was more impressed with the starters and sides than my breakfast entree. The brunch menu is also not very extensive, but sometimes less is more, right? To start, I had the Biscuit and Gravy. You get a pretty nice sized biscuit and the sausage gravy is savory and delicious. I also tried my guests deviled eggs and, while they were tasty, they were missing a zing - that something that truly makes them stand out. I wanted to love them! For the entree, I ordered the Ricotta Berry Challah Toast: Lemon ricotta, berries, maple toasted almonds. My challah toast was definitely that - toast. It was very dry. And I didn't care for the pairing of the lemon ricotta with the toasted almonds and seeds in the blackberries. I kept thinking more simple/smooth textures would make the dish great. A Chantilly cream instead of ricotta? A berry mascarpone? Just strawberries, blueberries and maybe some raspberries? A berry drizzle on the toast? Something was just missing for me. But the scrambled eggs with added onions and the potato hash were wonderful. That potato hash was actually incredible. It's yukon gold potato with beets and sweet potato. It's a shame that I've spent so much time on the challah dish but I guess it's because I was so enticed and excited that my disappointment lingers. That and the plain drinks took away from the joy of brunch. But, I'd definitely go back and try something other things on the menu.

Loved everything we had for brunch! Started with the deviled eggs which were delicious. The shrimp and grits were well flavored but small so be mindful of how hungry you are! Bestie got the croque madame which she really enjoyed. We had the berry mimosa carafe and they were both tasty and instagrammable. Ended with coffee which was also very good.

Brunch outdoors at Lincoln's kitchen is a weekend must! Come for the deviled eggs and stay for the mimosa carafes BRUNCH MUSTS Deviled Eggs with pickled shallots Ricotta Berry Challah with lemon ricotta, berries, and maple toasted almonds. Rosewater Mimosa Carafe For something different, try the Turkish Eggs, which are topped with yogurt and dill! The menu also features other delicious options to please everyone like: Avocado Toast Sausage and Egg Sando Eggs Benedict Belgian Waffles Wagyu & Eggs

Cute little restaurant with great cocktails! I loved the My Sweet Summer cocktail! We also ordered the carrot cake, which was amazing! It was different than other carrot cakes because of the pineapple custard it came with. Service here was great as well! Everything was so good! I will definitely be back to try their dinner or brunch!

This place is beautiful and its awesome inside and out. The food was next level and the staff was great. They say Charlotte isn't a city for foodies, well this restaurant brilliantly defies that silly notion. Between the trendy atmosphere, crafted cocktails and brilliantly prepared dishes. This place is a foodies daydream. I enjoyed it and look forward to returning. Food: 4.3/5 - I had the sea bass and it was delicious, and portion was right. Be warned the portions are smaller, but the make every bite worth it. The green sauce was a masterfully prepared, and I say that with no exaggeration, everything went together perfectly, each bite is an experience, and the last bite left me wanting more .... Even the skin was tasty. Service: 4.3/5 - Our waitress was great, stay on us the whole night and handle our requests gracefully. She also made some awesome recommendations for drinks. BTW they make a killer BlackBerry Mojito that is not on the menu - nailed it. Their simple syrup is in a league of its own, and the taste speaks for itself. Vibes: 4.7/5 - the interior is dope. Very trendy spot and the vibes change from hour to hour, but its all dope. The perfect place for perfect weather. However .. beware that there is no shade up there! Tip: Recommend making reservations, this place fills up quick and people like to hang out after. Parking is tough, so plan for that and if the weather is right then the rooftop is incredible. The wrong day, the heat can be dreadful.

Not sure I should tell people about this place....because it may drive people here and ultimately a wait time for when I want to come. We came on a Fri night around 7:00 and the patio was wide open for seating. The beer menu was pretty narrow....but they allowed me to get a beer next door (Craft Tasting Room) and bring it back :) My bride ordered the Beet Salad ($9) with chicken ($8) and was happy with her selection. I went with the Salmon ($15) and it was excellent! Our service from Elizabeth was exceptionally hospitable!

I've been wanting to try their brunch and since they had a deal in the South End Passport, it was the perfect reason to come. We made reservations and requested outdoor seating. We got there right when they opened (so most of South End was still asleep) and had no issue getting seated on their roof top. By the time we left, the roof top was full. We got the Deviled Eggs, Croque Madame, Turkish Eggs, and Eggs Purgatory. I really enjoyed everything! My two favorite things were the Croque Madame and Eggs Purgatory. The Croque Madame had a delicious bechamel sauce and crusty bread. The sandwich was cheesy and delicious. The Eggs Purgatory had a really flavorful tomato sauce. The menu didn't say how the eggs were supposed to be cooked, but I would have expected a runny yolk and they were pretty much hard boiled. I think it would have been better with a runny yolk, but it was incredibly delicous even without it. There were many other things on the menu we wanted to try. Check it out for your next brunch!

Went for Mother's Day and asked if there was a table outside and they sat us in the hot sun at a dirty table . Food was good but not sure I'd go back

Very cute atmosphere but nothing really wowed me on the menu. Tapas style and if you are looking for just a good date night or girls night out, this isn't a bad place to be. Even though nothing wowed me, the food and the service was still good. The Ceviche, Brussels and pimento cheese were probably the best thing on the menu. The pimento cheese had this Smokey flavor to it which kinda surprised me. The wagyu was good and the chicken didn't seem like it had enough flavor to it, but it comes with mushrooms and mashed potatoes that added to the experience if you eat it all together in one bite.

Update: I removed my previous review of this place, as this is now the third encounter I've experience prejudice here. At this point it's not just one person. The service is tacky and prejudiced. The staff have bad attitudes as if it's a requirement to work there. The same day next door at Craft, the bar tender started her sentence with "The cheapest bottle is...." when I asked for a wine list. The manager is the worse manager I've ever dealt with. I had a drink on the table while my friend drank much faster rushing me. So I asked for a cup of water to go. The server comes back and puts it on the table and says, "You're not taking this to go are you?" Is that a standard comment to all patrons who ask for water to go? I explain to the manager that was tacky and do they ask every patron that? She escalated the situation. First thing she said was "I don't know what the problem is or why you're so upset. She was making a joke." She gets defensive to the point I had to turn my camera on and record, because I couldn't believe how she handled the situation. She actually picked my drink up and started to walk away and said I had to leave. So at that point I said "I need my money back you just touched my drink and walked away." She also tried to grab my phone. It appears this is the standard for running the restaurant. Attitudes and prejudice.

The atmosphere is great and the food is sooo good. I was more than happy with the drinks; the Bloody Maria is my favorite as tequila is my liquor of choice over vodka! The ricotta berry challah toast is fresh and not heavy. Definitely get the side of bacon!

Stopped by one night for drinks. Amazing rooftop views. Very cute, cozy and romantic vibes. They also have inside seating downstairs. We did not have any food but will be back to taste some of the items on the menu.

I'm not surprised that I enjoyed Lincoln Street Kitchen & Cocktails considering how much I appreciate Craft Tasting Room right next door. My wife and I ordered their deviled eggs, croque madame, Turkish eggs, and eggs in purgatory. I liked everything but the croque madame, and eggs in purgatory were exceptional.

I've only been to Lincoln Street Kitchen for cocktails but decided to try for brunch. You must get the Avocado Toast - It is not only pretty, it's delicious too. The tomato jam sets itself apart from the other avo toasts. Sometimes you're just craving a sammy for brunch and the Cuban hit the spot. The Potato Hash was next level potato combo - Yukon Gold + Sweet Potato.

First off the cocktails are amazing and fun. The food was delicious. Two of us ordered the wagyu and eggs and the other ordered the petite waffles. Service was great too, we sat on the roof which was so fun.

I wish I could rate this place higher. We made reservations for a girls night, we ordered tons of drinks. The service was extremely slow and the place was not even to full capacity. It was burger special night. We all ordered burgers and some apps. About 15 minutes passed and our server tells us there are not any burgers left...we were the first table to be seated and it should not have taken that long to let us know. The online menu and prices do not match in the restaurant, so unfortunately my back up option wasn't a choice either. I will say to make up for not being able to have burgers they did provide us with some free apps. But most of the night was spent with empty glasses waiting for water and cocktails. The food was good but in my opinion not worth the price. Used to like coming here but next time we will think twice. When you go out somewhere nice and spend over $100 service is extremely important and much of the night we were frustrated.

I had the Wagyu and Eggs and the steak was great, but the eggs and vegetables were very lacking in flavor. It also wasn't very much food, but the price wasn't crazy so it was alright. The waitress was nice and our food came out quickly, so overall the service was nice. The decoration is very nice and the music is chill, but it was pretty loud even though not many people were in side so it would probably much louder on a busier day.
