Exquisite modern European fare with some clever Asian inspired twists. The warm bread delivered to the table set expectations high, but still course after course raised the bar. Lamb was out of stock, given the restaurant’s dedication to expert and possibly local sourcing, only that lamb would do. No problem at all, it was substituted with one of the best beef dishes we’ve ever experienced. Complex and wholesome at the same time. Dessert and petit fours left a lasting impression, particularly the white chocolate covered orange jelly. An excellent place to dine in a historic part of Lincoln.

It was a special meal for my wife's birthday and I could not have picked a better restaurant. The whole occasion was perfect, we both enjoyed it very much as it was an unique experience.

My wife & I were in Lincoln for a few days & decided we wanted somewhere to eat that was a cut above most other restaurants & the Jews House was just the place. Its the only restaurant I've been to where the Staff were better dressed that the Clientele? Dave Jemison

Booked the Jews House based on reviews as this was our first visit to Lincoln and I prefer not to wander around looking for somewhere suitable on the first night in a new place. The restaurant is cosy and feels quite intimate and my husband and I chose from the a la carte menu. Portions are small, but beautifully cooked and presented, and the warm 'bag' of bread would help those with larger appetites. The sommelier is hugely knowledgeable and very willing to offer suggestions if required. My husband and I eat well and regularly visit lovely restaurants. The Jews House is probably one of the best restaurants we have eaten at and even the filter coffee at the end of the meal was unbelievably good.
