The Green Room @ Lincoln Hotel

You're walking up to the Lincoln Hotel on Eastgate, and The Green Room is where the serious eating happens. This is where locals go when they want to dress up a bit—not in an intimidating way, but in that satisfying way where you know someone's thought about every detail. The dining room itself has that refined-but-not-stuffy energy that works in a Georgian setting like this. Food-wise, they're doing contemporary British cooking with proper technique, the kind of place where you trust the kitchen because they've clearly got their heads screwed on. It's the restaurant that makes you remember why dining out matters.
