    Fantastic and creative Italian fusion. The charcuterie was one of the more imaginative we've seen. It's light on meat and cheese, but the variety and quality are stellar. Pasta with an Indian twist was the highlight. Service was top notch. There is a very different atmosphere in the front by the windows versus the moody rear area.

    A friend from school who I hadn't seen for 30 years came into Denver for a conference. She asked for a place that was "adult, cool factor, good food, walking options and GOOD DRINKS". The only place I could think of for brunch was Linger. The food isn't as interesting as it is for dinner, but it was all amazing along with the fun drinks. Mickie our server was wonderful! FYI no valet for brunch, but parking in the across the street lot was easy peasy. If you come here for brunch, GO GET SOME ICE CREAM outside! It's a great way to end the early trip! :)
