    Was visiting from out of town for business. Saw the raving reviews and decided to give it a try. Right off the bat, the host who greeted me sat me at this dark table for 2 jammed against the wall in front of the entrance. I really felt discriminated given that I'm not white or something. Sushi was mediocre at best (the key is to season the rice but it seems like people don't get that concept about sushi rice) but I can't complain. I was visiting from Southern California where you have the best sushi places. I give it 2 stars given that at least my server (I think it was Dylan?) was very kind to me and checked up on me routinely. I think it was also partly mistake on my side that I should've went with something Nebraska is more known for (steaks, corn??). It was just very close by my hotel so I decided to give it a try but I would never recommend this place to any of my colleagues who might visit Lincoln in the future.

    Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Was excited to find out it was Happy Hour until 6pm. Good prices for food and drinks during HH - definitely a great way to try new (to me) items.

    We had such an amazing experience at the Lincoln Blue today! It was all day happy hour and the sushi was phenomenal! The manager Mallory stopped by our table and was super friendly. Our server Kylie was also very attentive! Prices were great and we cannot wait to come back!!

    Talia M. With the glasses is the best waitress ever. Sweetest girl ever and genuinely the only person to convince you to dine out. Blue, give this girl a raise! Never had better customer service, Talia M, you rock!

    Not impressed at all. Sat at the bar, bartender walks by me several times, never greeted. I finally had to ask to be served. Other people who ordered after me and received their food before me. My sushi was so poorly made and it kept falling out of the roll. The bartender didn’t even bother to follow up and ask me how it was, but asked the people right next to me.
