The vibe and attitude from some of the staff can come across as unwelcoming, which takes away from an otherwise great experience. Customer service is a huge part of any business, and based on my most recent visit as well as a few previous one I left feeling disappointed. I genuinely enjoy this place and want to keep coming back, so I hope management takes a closer look at the customer experience and holds staff to a higher standard. The bar has a lot of potential, but the service needs to match the quality of the drinks.

We randomly decided to stop by a local bar on a Sunday evening and found the Cove, a small but…read morechill place to have some drinks. It's located in the back area behind the Regal Edwards movie theater but does have ample parking. The bartenders and funny and cool. My fiancée and I had a few rounds starting with the Pony Boy and Blackberry sour. Followed by a Coconut strawberry and American Hustle. We ended the night with our least favorite drink of the night: the Hanky Panky. I found the Coconut Strawberry the most flavorful drink with a surprising creep up. I'm pretty sure we will likely make a stop here again in the future.

After months of planning, I was naturally nervous, but Bill made the whole process so much easier. He was incredibly accommodating, patient with all of my questions, and always willing to work with me to make sure every detail came together. Most importantly, he was true to his word. Everything we discussed beforehand was delivered exactly as promised, which gave me so much peace of mind. The staff was just as amazing. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a great time. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so I could relax and enjoy such a special evening with my family and friends. The venue itself was beautiful, clean, and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space, the service, and how well everything was organized. Seeing the look on my husband's face when he walked into his surprise party is a memory I'll treasure forever, and this venue played a huge part in making that moment possible. Thank you, Bill, and your incredible team, for helping create a night our family will never forget. I would recommend this venue without hesitation and would gladly host another event here in the future.

My wife and I visited Lincoln House for the first time, and it was a terrible experience from start…read moreto finish. The service was extremely slow to start--we waited a while just for water and to get drink orders taken. We ordered the Ahi tuna appetizer, which was good, but the course pacing completely fell apart after that. Our salads took 25 minutes to arrive. Before I could even get the fresh ground pepper I requested, our main courses were rushed to the table while we hadn't even started our salads. The food quality was unacceptable for an upscale restaurant: Both my wife and I ordered our steaks medium-rare. Mine arrived completely leathery, dry as a bone, and thoroughly overcooked. I didn't eat a single bite of it. My wife's steak arrived medium-well, and her side of rice was completely dry. The bottle of red wine we ordered from their very small wine list was served warm. When we declined having the steak re-fired or free dessert, we finished our wine and asked for the check. The $62 inedible steak was still on the bill, so I asked to speak with the owner. When I calmly explained the issues, the owner became angry that I didn't want the steak redone and walked away mid-conversation. He eventually came back, removed the $62 steak, and told us he didn't want us back in his restaurant. To top it off, for an establishment charging fine-dining prices where guests dress up, the owner was wearing shorts and sneakers. One chance is all a restaurant gets to make a good impression. Lincoln House missed the mark completely. We will not be returning.

Stephanie and Lydia, co-owners, were manning the front and kitchen areas of this intimate wine and tapas bar. They're both excellent hosts, very friendly, and love to discuss their love of food and wine. It's not a huge place, with intimate indoor and sidewalk seating areas. On street parking is limited, but there are two parking lots behind the building, off the alley to the east. One lot is covered and has a handicap spot; the other lot is open. WINE: The current wine menu (see my picture) has a good selection of Latin inspired wines from Latino winemakers in Mexico, South America (Chile and Argentina), and the US. The wine list changes and as they continue to grow, they'll be adding more selections and countries/regions. Wines are sold by the glass and bottle. If you ask, they'll pour you a taste before you order to see if you're going to like that wine or not. My "Open Bottle Red Tasting Flight" was just $15 for three generous pours of Pinot Noir, Carménère, and Malbec. Glasses range from $11 - $15...very reasonable. FOOD: They offer "Bites, Boards & Platos Fuertes", which are tapas style and shareable plates that pair with your wine selection. We shared a couple of orders of the Empanadas ($15 for 3), which were baked perfectly. We tried the Beef, Chorizo & Queso, and Queso & Membrillo (Spanish cheese with quince paste...great as dessert). We also tried the Brie con Miel ($14) and the Puerto Rican Picadillo ($16) served with rice. Everything has great flavors and is quite delicious! Overall, this is a vibrant, fun little wine bar with great service, food, and vino. We're glad that they're here in the neighborhood and I can't recommend them highly enough.

The gracious hosts taught us the proper way of tasting wines. Delicious bites were paired with these wines. The lounge is quite small but there's beautiful inside seating as well as comfortable patio seating. A live band serenaded us while we were enjoying our meal and wines. Bands actually perform on select nights so call the place for inquiries. Wine tasting and paired bites are priced at a low price of only $25. Check their website to check upcoming events and booked asap because they tend to sell out fast. That's how popular this lounge and their wine tasting events are.

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.

Made me happy they brought it over! They can also do catered events on the patio area. You can reserve a long table with buffet style dishes.

But it felt like we were inside a large dive bar with an oversized empty dining room. We were the only couple dining in and an obnoxious guy at the bar that could be heard in every corner of the empty dining room. Did I mention it was Saturday night? And this place was a ghost town! The service was good, I mean we were the only ones in there so..... the food was good, we started with the calamari and we surprised when we got almost full size calamari in our order. Maybe thats their thing but we've never seen the full size calamari like that. we were in the mood for steak and the steak we had was super tender, dare I say too tender? Maybe, but it was tasty. The shrimp was plain and the loaded potato was tasty too. Overall I feel like we got a $200 dinner in a $100 place. Yes the food was good but we could've had a better ambiance dining at home for those prices.

Food was actually nice too, way better than the usual "just something to soak up the booze" situation - hot, tasty, and came out fast.

Couldn't say enough good things about our experience!…read more We called in advance to see if they could accommodate our 2 dogs. I'm assuming depending on how busy this might not always be possible but they were able to this time. When we arrived greeted by a few staff and brought to the front patio.

We ordered the mixed plate, grilled shrimp plate, lemon mint drink, and a tea. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to come back!

I absolutely LOVE Baba Ganouj but their version had pomegranate vinegrette and was a bit more on the tart side. I guess Im spoiled by Tut's version because it just wasn't it for me. Definitely a acquired taste/flavor. My kibeh plate was good, I do wish they had more side options besides the rice or olive salad, my boyfriend was not a fan of olives and the salad was absolutely overwhelming. Offering perhaps hummus, or the Mediterranean simple salad as side options would've been nice, and I know fries is also an option but we were trying to cut out fried/carbs. The outdoor seating was nice but with folks smoking hookah around us, it became a little overwhelming while dining. Perhaps outdoor patio fans installed to air out the patio only seating would've been nice to keep the air circulating because even on an outdoor patio on a warm day it could be alot for the respiratory system. Not sure if we would return here, especially with so many great places like Tuts, Diplomat, Oasis and Limone.
