It was covered in dust and not clean at all. The staff were very inept and really had no clue how to wait on people, or work in a restaurant. They both were dressed like slobs. The food, what a huge disappointment. The meat on the Ruben flatbread show have been corned beef, it was roast beef, over cooked, bland and was ready to be tossed. The drizzle of dressing was minimal and no flavor.the drinks were nothing to write home about. It's really unfortunate that this was not a better place. Downtown could use a nice daytime lunch venue, but this is not it at all. Our bill for 2 drinks, 1 app and 1 flatbread over $50 before tip. I will not be making a return trip.

The space is small but charming, with a beautiful bar area and cozy seating throughout. We ended up with a great table. The pizza is some of the best I've had--truly outstanding.

We started with the meatballs, which were fantastic, and a Caesar salad that was fresh and very well done. Service was great, and the ambience was warm and inviting. This was our first time in Mount Vernon, and we found it to be a charming college town. We even drove around the campus, which added to the experience. Overall, we had a wonderful evening at Lincoln Wine Bar and would highly recommend it. I've been wanting to go back ever since--the pizza really stays with you. An incredible pie and a great spot.

However, I was surprised on one dish for missing the mark this round unfortunately. For only being here once though and they change up their menu seasonal, I'm hopeful their 'too salty' dishes are few and far between. The service was good as they were knowledgeable on menu items. The ambiance was moody. They also have a wonderful bar area with a large upscale selection of drinks. Bathrooms were nice and it's great to view the kitchen working away in the back area. Now for more food details. The group had the 5 course offering. Highly recommend the steak tartar as it was the groups favorite - "the Midwest's poke bowl" . The least favorite was the scallop dish as it was way too salty it overpowered the flavor profile and was bitter. The agnolotti pasta, pork belly, and banana assortment dessert were delectable.

Drinks were great and our food came out quickly. I got the Montreal Beef Sandwich. Tasty brisket with a great combination of flavors. Fries were good. My wife got the Salmon BLT, which was also very good, with great bacon and a nice slab of fish. She got the upcharged Brussels Sprouts for her side and they were also tasty. My brother got the Arnold Palmer Chicken Sandwich, a tea-soaked sandwich that he enjoyed. He got the house chips, and they were also good.

The salmon was good on my egg Benedict, but the hollandaise sauce was clumpy and it was overall underwhelming. The bite I had of my friend's lox bagel tasted pretty good. I ordered the Chocolate Chip Banana Brioche Bread Pudding for dessert and my friend order the beignets. I thought the chocolate chip and chocolate sauce overpowered the bread pudding. I would have preferred less chocolate sauce and more cream sauce to balance out the chocolate chips. However, if you are a chocolate lover and you can enjoy it with a large glass of milk it may be right up your alley. The beignet were disappointing compared to those in New Orleans. The beignet's exterior was harder than normal and they weren't as fluffy. The service was overall good, however I wish the waitress would have asked if I would like a refill, versus me flagging her down 10 minutes after my glass was empty especially since the soda/tea glasses are about half the size of other restaurants.

What started as a wine and cheese shop with a small bar has grown into a full-service restaurant with a small shop. It boasts outdoor seating (though, be careful for falling acorns during the fall-- those are hazardous)! I stopped in on a Friday evening, prior to another reservation. I got a crisp glass of rose and enjoyed the beautiful October day. I'd d I recommend street parking, down Linn Street. Though the Tower Place Parking Ramp is a short .25 mile walk away. Honestly, I bumped this up a star for two main reasons. 1) STAFF. Man, just the most helpful, knowledgeable and personable folks work here. Kind folks. I mean Kind with a capital K -- and it starts from the top. During the pandemic, the owner donated $13k during the peak of the pandemic to local businesses. (By challenging his customers: For every $100 Brix gift card purchased, he would pay forward 100 percent, with 75 percent of the money going to various downtown venues, restaurants and retail, and 25 percent to the Englert Theatre.) Additionally, each year Brix does a Rosé vs Wade event raising money for the local Emma Goldman Clinic of Iowa City. 2) Wine classes. I am always so intrigued to see the wine classes Brix puts up on Facebook. I adore wine but I am not anything close to a sommelier. Keep an eye out for these informative and tasty classes! Brix is one of a kind in Downtown Iowa City. Sip, sip hooray! Stop by.
