I came for dinner my birthday. We all love sushi, and after living in London for 20 years, I missed good sushi restaurants. Cognito was recommended by a friend, so i decided to give it a try. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. My tried one of their fantastic in house designed cocktails, which was absolutely delicious. The best I have had outside London. We all ordered many dishes of the menu The dragon role, pork belly and the sashimi were fantastic. Sushi is an art, known for its clean, precise preparation and perfectly balanced flavors. The chef at Cognito is clearly dedicated to mastering this craft. The rice in the sushi was light and delicate, providing a wonderful base for the dishes. The fillet beef in the Gyoza was rich and flavorful, and while they were deep-fried, this added a delightful crunch that we thoroughly enjoyed. The dipping sauce had a subtle flavor that complemented the Gyoza perfectly. The fillet beef sushi. The fish and chip role also needs to be tried All I can say is that Coginto is now a firm favourite and I go to Coginto at least once a week, I love coming for the lunch menu which is the best value ever, if this restaurant was in London there would be queues around the block, at only 20 quid you get some awesome dishes, and you get to choose from a house wine or soft drink, two dishes from the lunch menu served with miso soup and rice. I normally have the 6pc sushi omakase and chicken skewers. I also love the non alcoholic cocktails, designed Lucas are just the best. As far as I am concerned Cognito is the best place to eat and drink in Lincoln

The food, the service and the following drinks on the rooftop bar were absolutely top notch for a date night. The sushi as well as the Japanese inspired dishes were punchy and fresh, and the browny for pudding was a great full stop to the meal. The cocktails upstairs were tasty and refreshing twists on classic drinks. Thank you Jade for the excellent cocktail guidance and creation. The quality of the night here was well worth the very reasonable price tag.

This is one of the top restaurants in Lincoln. The staff are very professional. Food is of an exceptional quality with flavour. If you are looking for something different and are happy to try new foods give this venue a shot. We have been a few times now and they hit the same consistency each visit. Nothing short of exceptional.

I had an incredible time at Cognito’s Disney Drag Bottomless Brunch! The atmosphere was electric, and the entertainment was on point. The performers really brought the magic with their Disney-themed acts, and it was such a fun twist on brunch. The bottomless drinks were flowing, and the service was excellent—attentive and friendly throughout. It’s the perfect spot to go with friends if you’re looking for a lively, unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

We user the cocktail bar upstairs and it was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent and chilled, the staff were knowledgeable of the cocktails and made great recommendations. I didn't catch the name of the barman on the late evening on 30th August but he was polite and made our drinks perfectly. When there was some confusion with one of the ingredients, he explained it to us and has left a great impression of the service here. We'll definitely be coming back to try the last 3 cocktails we didn't get! Thank you for making our night amazing!

!!!!!!!!! Terrible service !!!!!! We have spend there £70 and the lady messed up our order with someone else. So we been giving wrong food, then I had to wait long time for the correct one to come which my friend already finished hers. She apologised after saying Sorry which it wasn’t enough, when you spending £70 in restaurant you want your food in correct order and not being messed up. not even offer us 10-20% off the bill or free drink!!!!!!! Never again !!!!! Terrible terrible service

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Such a hidden gem. I came here on a date night and we shared several sushi plates. I recommend the salmon maki and the gyoza in particular. They were delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the flavour combinations were exceptional. The bar had a great atmosphere and the bill was a lot less than we expected as it turned out we had arrived during Aperitivo Hour (4pm-7pm) and cocktails were only 2 for £12! Delicious food and exceptional service. 10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to visit again and try more of their sushi! :)

My partner and I came here for the first time, we sat on the rooftop bar for our food and goodness me the food certainly delivers upon expectation. The portions don’t look like a lot but they soon fill you up. The variety and quality of the food is some of the best we’ve ever had. Service was amazing and the woman serving us couldn’t have been more welcoming and inviting. All round a very enjoyable experience, we’ll be coming back very soon.

The attitude from the bar staff was terrible it was my first time and last coming here. Me and my friend came for the offer 2 4 1 cocktails last night (friday), the lady behind the bar immediately tells us NO! we don't do that, my friend shows her a screenshot of the menu to which she goes "FINE! I'll do it" with a disgusted face... sorry for asking you to do your job? I wanted to leave at that point but we thought we'd give her the benefit of the doubt and stay for a couple... we didn't even taste our drinks properly and she looks us up and down and says "ARE YOU GONNA PAY NOW??.. or you can open a tab 🙄". I was just thinking... what's this girls problem? Also spoke to some people who were there on the same day and said they were also rushed... which is crazy cause the bar was dead. No wonder. Won't be returning.

Beautiful decor and ambience wasn't wowed by the food and pretty expensive for Lincoln and quite an acquired taste. We had to send back the sirloin skewers as they were cold but we had to ask if they were supposed to be like that. We also got pork belly which we didn't ask for and was honest and was took away 🤣 dessert was delicious I had the Eton mess witha cognito twist. Calamari & veg udon noodles were my favourite. We were the only booth apart from one service was attentive but not over powering.

We visited Cognito for my partner’s birthday today & had a lovely time! We’ve been looking for a sushi restaurant to go to & weren’t disappointed. The food was lovely & service was great. We were advised that food comes out as ready, and were quickly served all of our food within 15 minutes. My partner was even given a birthday card with a token to redeem a free drink on a future visit. The desserts were my favourite part of the meal; I highly recommend the ice cream cake & mochi!

AMAZING FOOD! I can’t stress enough how beautiful and fresh the food is from here. I don’t particularly like Japanese/asian food but after hearing really good things I thought I would give it a try and most definitely was not disappointed! The service was really good and efficient and the 2 owners could not do more for us. I’ve been for dinner, drinks and events and everytime it exceeds my expectations…if you’re looking for somewhere classy, luxurious and affordable I would suggest you choose here.

I joined Cognito's team as a Bar Back/Food Runner position around a year and a half ago and moved up to becoming a waiter after 6 months. Since leaving I have felt they deserve an honest and true review of my time there given that I was able to take on the full experience. To start with, the owners Zara and Ellie are the most lovely and compassionate people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Their commitment and care to their craft and business really do show. I can promise you if you encounter them on a trip to Cognito you will leave with absolute joy and satisfaction. The staff at Cognito are some of the best people around. The floor team are such kind and loving people they make your experience at Cognito feel so welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen team are always cooking up something extra tasty and spectacular, they truly all have a gift for their craft and the food will not disappoint. Special thanks to Darren head chef for always putting a smile on everyone's faces with both his food and humour. Cocktails are part of Cognito's speciality and that is nothing but the truth. Head of Bar Lucas is one of the most dedicated and inspiring personnel I've ever seen, his brilliant and diverse cocktails he and his team bring together with new cocktail menus on the regular never fall short of greatness. So a special props to him and if you come to try these cocktails you will know exactly what I'm talking about. Cognito is a place of commitment and care for the customers. Where your needs and desires set, they are always met. Moving forward in my career I most definitely am going to have a really hard time finding a position that beats the love and commitment that everyone at Cognito showed me. Thank you Cognito, Noah C :)

Visited for our daughter18th birthday and very disappointed with the food. Had to pre order as there was 10 of us, we ordered a set menu for 8 meat/fish and 2 vegan. No vegan noodle brought to the table, 2 portions of duck noodles to share between 8 people and no dessert brought until we asked, then had a spicy sticky toffee pudding that had been cut into 6 pieces stuck in the middle of the table with no plates for family/friends to share. Certainly not worth the £380 price tag for food alone.

There were 10 of us tonight who attended for an 18th birthday. As we were a big party we had to have a set menu at £36pp, there were 2 vegetarians at£46 pp. No way was the food worth the money. The amount of food that the vegetarians got was very poor. We had to keep asking for things that had been advertised on the menu. I would not recommend it.

I’ve been to cognito many times now and I can honestly say it’s become one of my most favourite restaurants/ bars! The drinks are always amazing (special shout out to them as they are one of the few places that offer white port!). The bar staff are always really helpful in recommending drinks and there seems to be a signature cocktail for everyone! There has never been a dish that I haven’t loved (and I’ve worked my way through the menu). For sushi my favourite is the dragon roll and my favourite large dish has the be the cognito chicken (chicken 6 ways)! You can tell the staff/ owners put so much into creating both the food and drink menus. The staff have always delivered the best service and nothing has ever been too much trouble for any of them. Cognito has a warm, friendly atmosphere with a great vibe. Always look forward to my visits!

I’ve previously left a 5 star review as I’ve visited a few times and had a great experience but after last night I don’t think we will return again. We had booked a table for 8pm, upon arrival they didn’t have a table for us and told us to come back later, there was nowhere to sit and wait as there was a wedding on downstairs. Our table was ready at 8.35pm, I know it’s only half an hour late but when we have paid a babysitter to look after our children we are on a time schedule which is why we booked a table. We got seated and ordered our food and drinks, we ordered a few dishes, one was prawn tempura which never arrived, we had to ask for this to be removed from the bill. We ordered “birthday ice cream” which was completely inedible, it was rock solid we couldn’t get our spoons in to eat it. We asked for the bill 3 times and it took 25 minutes to come, again this wouldn’t usually be much of an issue but as our table was nearly 40 minutes late we was worried about time. I just want to add that the waitress was really apologetic and nice and the food was nice. I went to the toilets as we left and there was white dust all over the side with rolled up paper discarded next to it and empty drinks all over and tissue on the floor. Unfortunately myself and my husband was awake in the night being sick, we ordered 8 dishes and both tried each others so we aren’t sure what it was but overall was a really bad experience and really disappointing. If you are hosting a wedding, maybe don’t have your restaurant open at the same time. Really disappointed as we have enjoyed visiting in the past.

Was very much looking forward to dinner at Incognito as sushi is my fave. However, to my disappointment sushi was absolutely tasteless. My friend who is vegetarian ordered some veggie sushi and I ordered salmon plus prawn sushi. It was all served on one plate which i think was very inconsiderate. Plus it took ages to get the food served. Overall its overpriced for what it is. In my opinion preboxed Wasabi or even Waitrose sushi tastes much better. Would not go back to this place again.

Had heard great things about Cognito, but was really disappointed after dining there with friends. Now they say the food arrives when ready BUT when 3 of the 4 people have eaten all their small and large dishes and 1 person hasn't even had a dish after 45 minutes then the whole meal and atmosphere is poor. I sat and waited while everyone ate , mine finally arrived, a small dish, after 45 minutes and then the large dish after an hour . The first plate arrived after 10 minutes so why the 50 minute delay? The place was almost empty . The music was too loud and the staff were inexperienced and surly. A complete letdown and will never return or recommend. Even the food was below average.

This may be the only restaurant in town that serves sushi (I think 🤔). For the fresh big plate of sushi, I have to book in advance. The food was ok, been to other sushi restaurants that are a bit better, so couldn't rate more for that. The portion is a bit smaller than I expected. The staff were welcoming and helpful. They have a nice rooftop bar area. The internal decoration is catchy and would be good for celebrations, dating, or similar occasions. Could be busy later at night.

Jack, the wizard of the cocktail woo. He bamboozled us with his cocktail making skills, the shaker behind the neck, was by far one of the stars of the show. The Pina Coladas, or whatever you’d rather stunned the crowd in to silence as the mesmerising cocktail creation show went from one standard to another. Would highly recommend. Jada the hostess was superb and really knowledgable on the menu, she recommended some worldie Prawn Tempura that was of the finest quality. Ellie, the star of the show, could lead the three wise men to Bethlehem. From start to finish she was the hostess with the mostess. Attentional to detail on our booking was sublime and I will be back for more.

We booked the upstairs for our engagement party from 6-midnight at a very reasonable price (with only 50% deposit) with 60 guests. The communication was perfect on the lead up and the food was excellent. All staff were very friendly and talkative and definitely made...

1st visit and looks very nice inside the booths make it look nicer than just tables. Staff were very good and provided great service. The star is the food. we had a table with at least 15 different items. They looked and tasted amazing. Rib eye skewers and pork belly were amazing. But everything was good. Not the cheapest, but quality shines through, and I can't wait to visit again. For something a bit different and good quality, I would recommend it. The best way to describe the food is Japanese tapas as lots of small plates or larger ones if you want,

The menu has a nice selection for food and drinks. It was overall good but really expensive for what it was and still left hungry. Staff seemed a bit clueless and confused

Absolutely fantastic! Been here with few friends for a drink and was surprised to be welcomed by such high quality staff. Would recommend anytime.

Food was fantastic, my favourites was tempera prawn dragon roll and red mullet sushi. Service was friendly and we really enjoyed our time here. It was a quiet weekday evening but the atmosphere was still lovely and perfect for date night.

Food was poor and atmosphere felt like more of a club. Very disappointing.

Apart from the aesthetics and the service from the staff who were very kind and professional the food was honestly the worst Japanese food I have ever had. I have been to a lot of Japanese restaurants and normally they don’t disappoint however I was shocked on how bad the food was since you’d think you were going to get 5 star food due to the restaurants beautiful bar and deco as well as the professional staff. I ordered Scollops, duck bao buns, chicken gyoza’s, chicken skewers, and calamari. The scollops were not my cup of fish at all since it was too squishy and squidgy and did not taste nice. The bao buns were horrendous way too sweet and the duck was shredded way too thinly that I felt like I was eating sugary straw. The chicken gyoza’s were standard and plain no flavour, the chicken skewers had no flavour what so ever only seamed grilled with salt. And finally the calamari was so so so bad. Way way too salty I had to send it back it was like the batter was just salt and the aioli that came with it was hideous and tasted very odd. I will not be coming here again I would not advise anyone to go here if they honestly want good food!

Fabulous! Our daughter told us about this place and it didn’t disappoint. Great food, service and restaurant. Finished with a drink on the roof terrace which is lovely. One of the nicest places to visit in Lincoln. A lovely atmosphere and warm welcome, all the...

Amazing food, blew my pallet away the dragon roll with the soy sauce and pickled ginger was amazing. Would highly recommend

A little expensive for what it is, food ok & delivered randomly as cooked (so best to order in waves). Sake very expensive. Restaurant not very busy so no problems with our time slot, service a little haphazard (I also prefer to be in charge of my wine rather than be beholden to serving staff to top up my glass). Would we go again, probably not (a lot of my favourite Japanese dishes missing from the menu).

What a great location and stunning food. Decided on a dinner out in the roof top restaurant and had an excellent evening. The food was, as always, exceptionally good, and the staff friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. It's so nice to dine under the a clear...

Great Rooftop Terrace for Afternoon drinks. We had a few reasonably priced drinks in a relaxed environment.

Pagamos £ 15 por un rollo de sushi, tuvimos una fantástica hamburguesa con papas fritas y un lado en el Caballo Blanco por el mismo precio. Además de eso, tardamos casi 30 minutos en conseguir el primero de tres rollos de sushi, luego tuvimos que esperar de nuevo a que llegaran los otros dos. Tardó tanto en hacerse, que el arroz estaba caliente, así que todo se vino abajo. He comido sushi en todo el mundo, esto no funcionó, hubiéramos pedido más, para llenarnos, pero no estábamos preparados para esperar más o pagar esa cantidad. ¿El restaurante no tiene licencia y tienes que pagar por el agua del grifo?

I'm registered blind and my partner and I came in for a late lunch, the place was busy but the server found us a little two person booth and then brought out a large print menu with braile at the back. I was so overwhelmed with how simple but inclusive this was. The servers were so lovely and helpful and I honestly don't understand why more restaurants don't have a large print/braile menu
