Citizen Vine

With a tagline like “Pouring for the People”, you expect a shirt-untucked kind of atmosphere, and you get exactly that walking in. Created by restaurateur and 24-year military veteran Paul Jansen, Citizen Vine is the anti-wine-bar wine bar. Its chill vibes and tapas-style menu with daily specials create the perfect setting for the ultimate date night or hang out space for you and your besties. Seating is informal, with long, communal tables and a sofa nook by the fire.

Fourk Kitchen

Executive chef, and 24-year military veteran Paul Jansen, the mastermind behind the anti-wine-bar wine bar Citizen Vine, launched Fourk Kitchen in 2019 to create a uniquely interactive dining experience, starting with a happy hour followed by dinner service complete with a welcome from the executive or sous chef and a tour of the artwork, menu, and a team introduction. The dining area is intimate, seating 24 per night, and at $44 per person for the four-set courses that change monthly, Fourk offers a culinary night out to remember that won’t break the bank.

Siinos

In 2014, when Lincoln was still evolving from a sleepy town to the burgeoning burbclave it is today, Siino’s was our sit-down-dining mecca. While the area continues to grow and change rapidly, Siino’s remains a reliable destination for great food served up in a bustling, casual atmosphere. The menu nails that comfort food sweet spot, ranging from American cuisine to classic Italian and features locally sourced products. There is an extensive wine and beer menu, including a selection of locally hand-crafted brews, and the year-round patio seating ensures there’s hardly ever a wait to be seated (although lucky you – if you’re kicking it tonight in your PJ’s with the fam, of course, they deliver!). Don’t forget to try one of our favorite vegetarian items on the menu, the Beyond Burger!

Orchid Thai

Thai food must be one of the most delicate cuisines on the planet – do it wrong, and everything on the menu tastes like over-salted red curry. But never fear, the good people of Orchid Thai

have your back, serving Thai cuisine in Lincoln for 10 years. Visit this one of a kind Lincoln cornerstone for lunch or dinner, and you will experience the finest in Thai cuisine served by a friendly staff, surrounded by the authentic art and wood carvings straight from Thailand!
