Lincoln’s seasonal menu showcases simplistic market fresh dishes by Chef Demetrio Zavala crafted from fresh ingredients supplied by local farmers, daily seafood catches by local fishermen, and artisanal meat from ranchers around the region. Our Chef includes many nods to Abraham Lincoln’s favorite foods including oysters, gingerbread and chicken fricassee.

DISTINCTIVE BAR PROGRAM

Master mixologist John Hogan created one of the city’s most distinctive and fresh bar programs completely around the restaurant’s artistic concept. From the unique Mason jars featuring infused bourbons to the city’s first moonshine list all served in antique style copper cups, each hand-crafted drink truly reflects the simple values and tastes of an era that evoked change.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Hometown artist Maggie O’Neill’s design for LINCOLN restaurant was recognized by DC Modern Luxury Magazine as the Best New Restaurant Design of 2011. The interior includes original paintings and works of art influenced by some of our most iconic American Pop artists. Challenging the boundaries of design, O’Neill incorporated over one million pennies into the spectacular tiled floor that is the centerpiece of the restaurant’s design–a feat never before attempted at this grand of a scale in the United States. From the striking Jasper Johns-esque American flag mural on the wall, to the reconditioned antique wood floors from barns in New England to a custom oversized white leather chair inspired by Lincoln’s seat at his memorial, O’Neill has translated Popovsky’s creative vision into a stunning reality.

Even in a political town, there are some things everyone can agree on. LINCOLN is an expression of artistic collaboration in gastronomy, mixology & design. Politics aside we think you’ll agree: LINCOLN is an experience like no other.
