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.

    We have loved Linger since it opened for its cool vibe and creative food. However, the last couple times the prices for what you get just don't make sense anymore for the quality of food. Come on $30 for pad thai with a stick of chicken? You can find better pad thai around town for half the price with largar portions. I make very good money and won't be eating here anymore. Sad.

    The food is good but the portions are very small and it’s expensive. The service was horrible. We got there around 5 and had to wait over an hour for food while people around us who arrived after us got their food.

    We went in with really high hopes because the food looked interesting. Although few items were good , we found that the soy based sauce used for some of the items ( mushroom Kebab, and the fillings for bao buns ) was way too salty for us to even get past it and enjoy the food . Chicken satay was a real disappointment. I understand they might have wanted to present it in a different way, but even with that consideration the chicken did not taste good . Just bland overall with no flavour . Same with desserts . I could see what they were going for but it couldve been executed differently . All in all, I dont think i would visit at least for the dinner menu, as I would not like to eat sub par food but spend 100+ dollars . Drinks and service was fine

    My daughter and I went here before a concert the other night. Overall we were pleased but a few of the items were very overpriced with extremely small portions. Do not get the prawn and cauliflower skewers! The cauliflower pieces were so tiny and it was just one skewer for $8!!! The prawn skewers had about one bite of meat on them. It came with 2 but again it was $8. We expected to have more food for $18. We ended up having to order a lot more food and spend a lot more money to get full. I wish the waiter gave us a heads up or some advice on what to order.

    The first time I've spent over $100 to get a bad taste in my mouth. It took them 30 minutes to get me three Kroger brand egg rolls they tried to pass off as Lumpia with McDonalds style dipping sauce. I have to work Thanksgiving so I took my daughter out for a nice meal and I can't remember the last time I was this disappointed. It was my third and last time coming here. I have family coming in next month that I was going to take here but now Im definitely choosing somewhere else.

    Super expensive! I’ve been there a bunch of times but it’s been a while. The menu is unclear how many small items are included. Vodka martinis are $18. It’s like New York prices. The waitress seemed bothered and couldn’t get rid of us soon enough even though she got a $75 tip. I won’t go back.

    We love Linger - always 5 stars, but last night was off. Food: Dosa was not as tasty as usual - the mustard greens were very bitter, maybe needed some acid to lessen the bitterness; the vegetarian Pad Thai was delicious, the tofu was maybe a bit overcharded; the Impossible Sliders were good - the avocado was a bit bitter; the Compressed Watermelon was interesting. Drink: the Proseco was flat - it took a long time to arrive, so did the bubbles escape before it finally made it to the table? Or open to long? Or any of the other possibilities that could cause the Proseco to go flat; and the Latte was lukewarm and the coffee not up to usual standards - it took a long time to arrive and took even longer to get a spoon to stir in sugar. Service was incredibly slow and indifferent: food did arrive at appropriate temperatures, except Proseco and coffee.

    Some of the best food I’ve ever had. We got the bao bun trio, bison steak skewer, pad thai, and the potstickers for three people and it was the perfect amount of food. Everything was so delicious! Highly recommend for a nice dinner in Denver.

    Service was disappointing. You could tell the server was there to do the bare minimum. We ordered 4 dishes 2 were good 2 missed the mark. The pad Thai was salty and bitter, the skewers (bison, prawn, chicken) were too charred (prawn was awful - couldn’t eat). The scallion pancake was really good! The bao buns (pork and chicken) were also great.

    When you take a four and six-year-old out for dinner, it can go one of two ways. And, in my experience, when you take a kid to a Justin Cucci restaurant, it is always a best case scenario. The entire family - littles up - is treated with respect. Linger (just like Root Down) has the best children's menu in the city. When you order a kid's cheeseburger, you get bonus edamame and thinly sliced apples and oranges on your tray too. Our server was phenomenal and immediately brought out kids' cups with water and served the kids' trays at the same time the adult appetizers came out. Always phenomenal, memorable food - with outstanding, friendly service.

    Great vibe. Food tasted amazing. Service was just a teeny bit slow but understandable, since it was busy. The only thing I would say is the value. There just wasn’t a whole lot of food and most of the plates are pretty small. The bison sliders were a decent amount of food though. If you’re hungry order that.

    We went in on 10/30/23. The service was phenomenal. I cannot remember our waitress name but she was on it. The food was amazing. We spent over $200. The only down fall to this experience was seeing a rat. One of the employees even asked me if I saw where it went and I replied that it went under the service desk where they greet people upon coming in. Everything was going great until the rat incident.

    Server was pretty absent - we wanted a refill on drinks but they didn't come around much so we couldn't order them. I put on my reservation that it was a birthday and they gave a birthday desert to the table next to us but not us. Another person came around and asked if we needed more water and then snapped at us for not handing them the water bottles (was more than happy to, just didn't know if they refilled the ones we had or brought new ones). Pretty disappointed at the service for the very high price levels. Wouldn't recommend for special occasions.
