Went to visit my daughter in Retford for her birthday, and the three of us (me, her and her partner) went down to Damon's in Lincoln for Lunch after a shopping trip. What a wonderful experience it was - without doubt they were the best ribs I have had this side of the Atlantic, and better than some I have had over there! The decor which has been criticised elsewhere as "drab 80's" I thought was more Retro, bordering on Art Decor - I suppose its all in the eye of the beholder etc., and the back-ground music was not MUSAK, but real stuff - admittedly my taste, and never before have I heard Janis Ian or Dan Fogelberg played as back-ground!!! Add in there a ..  Read the complete review

Ok, I agree, the tables are close, there is no privacy, waiters and managers are running around like headless chickens, BUT this place is awesome at what it does. The theme is 1950's american diner - it does this admirably. The rack of ribs meal is excellent - I tend to lean towards the ribs and lobster meal. The menu choice is great (american diner menu), there is always a waiter close by to help, sometimes when you go you find you wait a while for food or seating. So what. The wait for the table you are told about! They give you a time for the table and they stick to it - most times we are in before the time - but never after. The wait for your ...  Read the complete review

So, you keep hearing about Damon's in Lincoln and fancy going?, hope this review helps you decide whether to save yourself the trouble or not! Damon's was built quite a few years ago now, and it's always had that "unfinished" look about it. The roof has bare "joists" that go from the outside into the middle, which just appear that someone forgot to finish that bit off when it was built. It's easy to access, being just off the roundabout from the main bypass on the outskirts of Lincoln itself. Damon's is on a booking basis only, and has a motel on the side of it if you decide you'd like to stay over. The grounds look nice and ...  Read the complete review

I think so and I've been to most of them. Move over Lime Tree, this is the place to be. Set just off Deansgate is Lincoln Square, which for some reason has a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Is he a manc? Anyway, the restaurant is just off Deansgate in a quiet square surrounded by offices and small businesses. The restaurant stretches along one full side of this square which is normally quite dark due to the building blocking out the sun during the day. The reception areawas crowded both times I went so that was a little annoying, but we were put in a nice table in the corner. All the tables along the sides of the reasuarant (away from the glass) ...  Read the complete review

The Lincoln restaurant has become the "in place" to dine in Manchester. It is frequented by a variety of Manchester's celebs and is a regular haunt for Tracy Shaw (Maxine in Coronation Street). I was in Manchester last week and couldn't resist the temptation to sample this trendy, cosmopolitan eatery for myself. I booked a midweek table for my husband and myself knowing that a weekend booking would not be an option at such short notice. The restaurant is highly publicised and therefore extremely busy. The restaurant was a little more than half full so I was surprised to find that the diners had all been seated close to each other on adjoining ...  Read the complete review
