We welcome you to Stockton’s favorite shopping, dining. Today, Lincoln Center marked by the ‘Big L’ encompasses 35 acres and is comprised of over 90 businesses, with more than 80 of those being locally owned and family-operated small businesses. The menu, which offers Benno's modern interpretation of traditional Italian dishes, includes a prix-fixe lunch option as well as a seven-course chef's tasting menu, with items like spaghetti al pomodoro and cavatelli con vongole, and small shared plates such as gnocchi di patate alla bava. Welcome to Lincoln Center Stockton’s premiere outdoor shopping center since 1951. The area for private dining is on the lower level and seats about 16. Also on this level is a bar that seats seven as well as a 44-seat lounge and outdoor seating for 28. An open kitchen occupies a central spot and looks out onto the 111-seat dining room. Below, the main dining space is sleek and modern, furnished with brushed stainless steel, stone tiles, and a muted color palette. The roof itself is covered with grass and open to the public. The multilevel structure is a glass-enclosed pavilion, topped with a 7,200-square-foot curved, sloping roof that Diller describes as shaped like a hyberbolic paraboloid (think Pringles potato chips).

Much like the face-lift given to Alice Tully Hall last year, Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio's design for the Upper West Side space is striking. A private room allows larger groups to congregate. Koch Theatre, making it an ideal place for entertaining clients before (or after) taking in a ballet, opera, or musical performance. In its location at the northern end of Hearst Plaza, Lincoln conveniently sits between Alice Tully Hall, the Metropolitan Opera House, Avery Fisher Hall, and the David H. Blue Cheese, Pickled Red Onions, Toasted Bun, Onion Strings. Craft Beer Batter, Tartar Sauce, Malt Vinegar, Maldon Sea Salt. The Diller, Scofidio & Renfro-designed structure also marks another completed component of Lincoln Center's campus expansion. Sweet & Smoky Glaze, Blistered Green Beans with Garlic Butter. The much-buzzed-about project-the first solo venture from Jonathan Benno, the former chef de cuisine at Per Se-is the newest addition to the Patina Restaurant Group's portfolio of eateries and was conceived as a sister restaurant to Los Angeles flagship Patina. Last Friday, September 24, Lincoln finally made its public debut.
