Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Lakewood

As always an incredible meal at Tavernetta. Went in for a snowy Monday dinner and had a cocktail each, split an app, and two plates of pasta. A light dinner but perfect, and what we were looking for. One of the pastas could’ve benefited from another 5-10s, but with fresh pasta, who cares. Delicious!

We had a delicious dinner. Since we had 5 of us, we were able to sample quite a few dishes. Our favorites were the beet salad, the rockfish tom kha, the short ribs and a papparadelle mushroom dish. For dessert, the chocolate hazelnut pie and the carrot cake were amazing. Our server was great and the dishes were served with just the right amount of time between the courses. The only negative was that we were somewhat close to the front door and since it was a cold night, every time the door opened, we felt a cold draft (we kept our coats on). A vestibule would really help.

Overall great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow. Food is very good but also rich and unique so with tapas style dining there was bound to be some flavors we didn't like but that doesn't necessarily mean anything was bad. This place always has delicious, well presented food and a location, ambiance and view that can't be beat.

We came in for the Valentine’s Day special & everything was so incredible….the food, the drinks, such high quality & for a great price. Our only complaint was the length of time in took to get our drinks when we sat down (about 20ish minutes) & the length of time we waited in between courses. Regardless, it was a busy night & our waiter, Ron, was very kind! It was a special Valentine’s Day!

The service and food were amazing. The staff at Linger were very kind, helpful, and courteous. The food was all around top quality. It was a specialty 4 course Valentine’s Day menu, by my girlfriend and I were very pleased with the choices and look forward to taking another night out at Linger to try the rest of the menu.
