About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Great for creative cocktails

Housed in a former mortuary, the decor layers macabre remnants with posh details in a window-flanked space overlooking the charming Lower Highland neighborhood. The drink menu features sips and seasonings as savory as the dishes with which they're paired. While the rooftop patio-outfitted with 1975 GMC RV as bar and repurposed food truck as kitchen- beckons patrons towards adventure.

Love Linger! Such a fun menu with tastes from around the world. A friend of mine was visiting from Denver for work, and I took her here for happy hour. We love the fried chicken bao buns! Chicken satay and grilled tofu were fantastic as well. For cocktails, we both thought the New Saigon looked delicious but we don’t love gin. They made it with vodka for us instead. Perfection! Will be back soon.

We were seated upstairs. Where we were seated is badly in need of refurbishing. 4 adults in a very small booth was uncomfortable, seats were hard. The food was mediocre. The staff and servers were knowledgeable and kind, no complaints with them. Probably will not return.

Every dish is a flavor explosion but that only begins to describe the fabulous tastes you'll experience with whatever is put in front of you. One thing to note is that, in the vein of Europe's Wagamama, food comes out as it is ready. Things don't stay under heat lamps waiting for other dishes for the table so there is a chance you might wait a bit. Usually only moments but we did experience one item of significant separation almost as if a court ordered it. Making it worse, the late dish had the anticipated skewer we would be sharing but to the credit of our great server Jake, he kept on top of it and notified management. When the dish came, pro-actively we were told it would be taken off the bill. That's great customer-focused service and one of many reasons Linger is one of our favorites and a great place for out-of-town guests. More people equals more dishes to try.
