The Green Gateau

Green Gateau is very clever in decor and use of space. The tables are spaced enough from each other, but the noise level was such that we could not hear each other at our table. Our reservation was lost, a table quickly put together. The service was very slow. Other tables came, ate, paid, and left while we slowly made it through a 2 hours lunch. The food was okay, not great. I had a salad with salmon. It was ok. Well and Good in Lincoln is the best place for that. I had high expectation for Green Gateau and sadly disappointed.

I had a wonderful first experience. I ordered the Tenderloin Fettuccine, and the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful. The service was excellent from start to finish. We showed up without a reservation less than an hour before closing, and the hostess was kind enough to find us a table for two, which we really appreciated considering how late it was. Our server was very attentive and accommodating. He made it easy for us to switch the protein in a risotto to one we preferred from the menu, and everything came out just right. The highlight of the night for me was the crème brûlée. It was my first time trying it, and it was spectacular. The server even came to the table to caramelize the top right in front of us. The sweetness was very subtle, which I loved, since I’m not a big fan of overly sweet desserts. We also had the truffle fries, which were very tasty. The roasted red pepper aioli was hands down my favorite part of that dish. Definitely a place I want to return to soon.

You must try the beignets. Order two so you can get one with lemon and one with strawberry and share them. Best I’ve ever had. Easy to make a reservation. But do so a few weeks in advance for holidays like Mother’s Day. Usually quiet and peaceful at lunch. Dinner menu is fabulous. And you must try the green gateau cake. The lemon cake is light and delectable. Get their specials. Always great.

We had a family celebration at the green gateau last night. Everyone had a wonderful meal. Our group was seated in a private area which was great. Our server was Jolie and she was efficient, attentive and very pleasant. The only downside is the parking. Plan accordingly.

This was my first time eating here and I was impressed with the food and the exceptional service. The large Parmesan crisp that garnished the salad was heavenly. The sirloin was cooked perfectly, and the sides were very tasty. Our server was friendly, prompt, and expertly. Parking was a little tricky, but there are plenty of nearby spaces, it might just take a little extra time to park if you're thinking you'll get a space in their attached lot. Overall, this is a place I wish I had tried sooner and will totally eat here again.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and staff who genuinely care. This place just became a favorite. Grateful for good meals and even better vibes!

Got the steak and eggs. Asked for medium stake, however, got well done. Which wasn’t nearly as unpleasant as getting repeatedly hit in the head and back by the waitress as she kept walking by. So we moved the table on their behalf so the waitress could get by without hitting me in the head. Update: They gave me half off on the steak.

The food was very nice, the atmosphere was pleasant, the owner was very kind when greeting us at the table, I recommend it.
