The Green Gateau - Lincoln

Just not a great experience. We arrived at a time that wasn’t busy, party of 4. We were offered a wine tasting, 3 yes, took 10 minutes to get them. We were not asked if for drink orders, we ordered them when we ordered our salads. Salads arrived before the drinks. The meals were very subpar. Bland to be honest. 2 ordered steaks cooked the same at medium rare. 1 rare and the other medium. Flavor wasn’t great. We spent over $200 but feel we would have got better service and food for half the price at Texas Roadhouse.

Always a nice experience. We had the burger and salad with chicken. Good size portions. Our server Elliott was top notch ‘! The only downside was the men's bathroom could use a little attention. I put a lot of rating on a restaurant bathroom because as the bathroom goes, so does the safety of the food. Everyone (staff/customers) use the same facilities. Otherwise Green Gateaux gets a solid nod from me.

A special place to meet friends and share a delicious meal. Prices seem reasonable for the great quality and substantial portions.

The staff admirably handled a very busy Monday evening. Those without reservations were told honestly how long they would likely wait and they subsequently went elsewhere. I was impressed that they accommodated two solo diners (with reservations) and that they seated us far apart. Server Meagan was informative (different specials), patient (I really wanted to sit and just savor that well-made martini; she agreed), and attentive. French Onion Soup was a delightfully reassuring starter. The Ancho-grilled ribeye was ably done (definitely medium rare) and impressively sized; accompanying grilled corn, roasted potatoes, and broccolini nicely matched the protein. House wines also nicely matched the two courses (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon). The front rooms are a little plain and worn (and warm as the sun goes down), but still comfortable. I need to return more frequently than once a year.

Lived in Lincoln for 25 years, moved away 40+ years ago. Every time I'm home I go to the Green Gateau! The food is always superb, consistent high quality and fresh ingredients. The service is always top drawer here, this past weekend (7/20-21) we were lucky enough to get Ben, a marvelous waiter! Lincoln is very fortunate to have the Green Gateau, truly a Great Restaurant and Treasure for Lincoln!
