Got into town early for my sister’s graduation, and looked up food options in the area. As a cook, I was interested in Chef George’s background, and I wanted to see how he ran his operation. I was delighted to see an open-concept kitchen/bar, and had a delightful time watching not just the active preparation of food, but the pre-service meeting. The space has big windows that fill the space with natural light which, when coupled with the tasteful art and furniture, perfectly balanced refinement with comfort. Had a chance to talk to Chef George - his passion and enthusiasm shown through. The w

Long overdue review. Main + Lincoln is a solid, consistent restaurant of choice for us. It’s where we bring out of town guests because we know it will always be great service and delicious food. The menu is fairly small, but there is enough variety to find something for everyone. Hands down best on the menu - Amish Chicken Picatta and Grilled Oysters. I typically don’t like oysters, and their grilled oysters are amazing. Anyone we’ve brought there loves these two dishes as well. Great place to sit at the bar and have a drink and appetizer. One of our favorite places in Valpo.

Everything about main and Lincoln is top. Traveling from Chicago this felt like I was still in the city. From the hostess opening the door and knowing exactly who we were for our 7pm reservation, to the waiter being attentive and talkative but not too much, to the food that was delicious. I dream about the tuna and avocado appetizer. The oysters were fresh and delicious. I got the salmon suggested médium by the chef and it had a nice crisp on the outside with Jasmin rice and just a hint of sauce making the perfect combination (a bit too much bok choy). Creme brulee was made by one of the staff

BEWARE!!! This place is the WORST restaurant in downtown Valpo. Service was awful, the food took more than an hour. When the food came out it was cold. There were only 3 people at the bar, and the service was still awful. One of the people we went with was pregnant and the chair she was sitting on broke, which could’ve caused a major injury. Lastly, one of the people we went with got locked in the bathroom. The owner didn’t even apologize for any of these major inconveniences nor did we receive food comps or even a discount. We are NEVER returning.
