Anticipating something special, we entered Lincoln's with high expectations of a great, upscale (for Brooten, MN) restaurant. Upon entering, the decor, the vibe, the unique layout all set the stage for a great experience.
Unfortunately, the wait staff, while always pleasant & smiling, lacked any depth of knowledge of the menu, or basic food service training. The restaurant was 50% at capacity at best, yet delay in greeting, delay in order taking, delay in delivery, lack of awareness of the table, delivery of the wrong food, the absence of silverware, napkins, empty water glasses, and so forth. Ultimately, the food quality was just OK, sadly, not good enough to overcome the problems.
Ambiance = 4, Food = 3, Service = 2
Train, train and then train some more. This place has such great potential. read more
