The steak was juicy and tender, and the bread was soft--just how I like it. My buddy said his steak was very good as well, so I'd say we made two great choices! I'd definitely come back here again.

The interior is sparse but there's interesting artwork for sale on the walls and a fun photo-op wall. I usually get the Chicken Tikka Korma with seasoned rice. The chicken is always so tender, delightfully seasoned, and comes with delicious potato wedges and some veggies. Then I get a side of extra potatoes or bolani, essentially an Afghani quesadilla. Usually I'm able to stretch that into two meals since they give you so much. But really you can't go wrong with anything on the menu--the gyros are killer, the falafel is tasty, and the shawarma would be worthy of the Avengers. There's a reason it's named after their pitas and naan. And don't forget the baklava!

Right now they have a cabbage steak on their menu but it's served with bacon so I'm gonna have to go back and see if I can order that without the bacon. I still dream about that cauliflower steak with the side of rutabaga. One of the best things I've ever eaten anywhere. But it hasn't been on the menu for a long time. The shining star on the menu : the deviled eggs and the rotating seasonal deviled eggs. It's smart to go during happy hour and get deviled eggs and really well-crafted cocktails! The walls are decorated with musicians, and the staff wear old band T-shirts, which is neat but other than that, the music theme doesn't play out anywhere else. The restaurant doesn't have live music, there's no music or musicians in the menu names. I've had brunch here twice, and both times I went with the banana bread French toast topped with espresso butter. It's rich and delicious. Last time I had a side of scrambled eggs and they were prepared & seasoned well. The brunch buffet is fairly standard: fruit, pastry, eggs, meats, biscuits & gravy. Nothing really stands out about the brunch service here, whereas lunch and dinner are stellar.

Four Visits, Four Disappointments -- The Value Simply Isn't There…read more We've given Aragon Tavern three separate opportunities, and unfortunately, all three visits have left us severely disappointed. We understand the concept. We appreciate ambition, creativity, and a restaurant trying to offer something beyond the ordinary. But ambition and execution are two very different things, and Aragon consistently falls short where it matters most: the actual dining experience and the value for the money. The pricing suggests an elevated, almost Michelin-inspired experience in a tavern setting. There's nothing wrong with that concept. In fact, it could be fantastic. The problem is that the food and overall experience simply don't justify the prices being charged. When you position yourself at that price point, the execution needs to be consistent, the experience needs to feel intentional, and the customer should leave feeling that the meal was worth what they paid. That hasn't been our experience on any of our three visits. During one visit, we asked the bartender a straightforward question: How would you describe this restaurant, and what lasting impression should guests walk away with? The response was that they were still trying to figure that out, despite having been open for several years. That answer was telling. A restaurant can evolve, experiment, and refine its identity, but after several years, you would expect a clear vision of what it wants to be and what makes it worth seeking out. Aragon seems to be charging for the experience it aspires to deliver rather than consistently delivering an experience that earns those prices. Lincoln has plenty of dining options, and at this price point, there are restaurants that deliver a far more compelling combination of food quality, hospitality, atmosphere, and value. We've tried Aragon three times because we wanted to like it. Unfortunately, we've walked away disappointed three times. The concept has potential. The execution and value just aren't there. Until those two things catch up with the pricing, we can't justify returning.
