Review content:
I was in Boston visiting family with my daughter and 6-year-old grandson over the Memorial Day weekend. My daughter went to the restaurant, 51 Lincoln, with her adult cousins and so enjoyed the Watermelon Steak that she wanted to go back during our stay for my sister and me to taste it. As she was leaving the restaurant the evening she went with her cousins she asked if they had a kid's menu. Their server told them that they did have hamburgers in the bar and other items my very picky grandson could eat. Upon returning to 51 Lincoln we were greeted by the server who took care of my daughter when she was last in. She was very friendly, upbeat and happy to see that my daughter had come back with guests. We were seated at a table in the main dining room, which is maybe 5 feet from the bar. We were all ready to start with a wonderful cocktail and relax a bit before ordering our wine and dinner. We had been touring all day and we knew that my grandson would be hungry so we wanted to order his meal first. Our server was brusk and rushed. First she pushed by grandson's chair in to the table and said ""I don't want to trip over him"". When we asked if we could order his dinner she appeared to be put off. We ordered him the hamburger and she immediately said the chef doesn't allow hamburgers in the dining room. We explained our situation and she said she would be back. My daughter got up to use the restroom and when the server came back she said, ""Where is she"", I was sort of shocked at her demeanor. My daughter came back and the server said, ""What does he eat"". Well, we told her there was nothing on the main menu but the bar menu had choices; her response was ""work with me"". We felt unwelcome and felt like the server belonged at a fast food joint where she would be more comfortable not having to work with the clientele. My grandson has traveled throughout most of the world with us from the time he was an infant and, although he is a picky eater, we have never had to leave a restaurant because we couldn't get him something to eat. He is used to our dinners that last for hours and has impeccable manners. I have never gotten up from being seated and left a restaurant before this occasion. Obviously 51 Lincoln isn't a young people's restaurant, but I am amazed that they would turn away customers and not feed a youngster a hamburger that they serve in the bar 5 feet away. Did I mention that the restaurant wasn't full on a Tuesday night at 6:30? Our server never offered us the opportunity to sit at the bar either. I did get a chance to look at the menu. It was very pricey and their wine list was also very expensive. We are wine drinkers and with a short look I didn't see anything that was reasonably priced for a bottle of wine on their list. We would have easily spent 300.00 for our party of four with cocktails, wine, starters and dinner. 51 Lincoln must be doing very well to turn away willing and eager diners from their restaurant. Shame on the server for her lack of caring and not being willing to put something together for us. Shame on the chef whose standards are ridiculous. I have dined at many Iron Chef establishments and famous chefs though the country and world and never have I been so taken back by their poor manners and lack of professionalism. Although my family lives in the Boston area and we visit often, I would not recommend 51 Lincoln to anyone in my family or to friends who live in the area. 51 Lincoln not only lost our business that evening, but any future business that we would have given them during return visits to the Boston area. The recipe for the Watermelon Steak that my daughter enjoyed so much is available on the Internet and is not some ""hidden"" chef's secret. She has already downloaded and printed it and we intend to make it in the very near future. So much for needing restaurant 51 Lincoln to enjoy Watermelon Steak!
