Recently some coworkers and I went down to Lincoln for a Friday afternoon lecture, and Kevin and I decided he’d drive down after work that afternoon and we’d make a night out of it – get dinner, stay downtown, and run part of the Lincoln half marathon route in the morning. I haven’t eaten out much in Lincoln, so when a friend recommended Sebastian’s Table we gave the menu a quick look and were sold right away.

The restaurant excelled in ambiance, service, and food. We went on a Friday night around 7, so the restaurant was fairly busy, but the way they had their tables laid out gave each party tons of space. The trend lately seems to be restaurants jam-packing their tables together so this was a welcome change. The food is tapas/shared plates style which is my absolute favorite way to dine – the menu is divided up into bites and big plates and at places like this I always like to get a couple of each. The service was wonderful, too – our waitress explained the concept, gave us a few minutes to pick out a few things, and had that great balance of checking in on us (especially since we ended up ordering our food in several rounds) but also letting us enjoy our meal.

Here’s what we ordered:

Everything was really good, but the brussels sprouts (which had come highly recommended) were out-of-this-world amazing. A delicious mix of spicy and sweet and rich and roast-y. (I’m already dreaming about how I can recreate them at home). We were initially bummed that they weren’t serving churros that night, but the brownie with the house-made marshmallow more than made up for it.

If you find yourself in Lincoln and need a good date night spot (or girl’s night out!), we definitely recommend giving Sebastians Table a try! A few photos of the dishes we ordered, below…
