About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Lively
Good for special occasions

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.

Took our family for my 16 year-old‘s birthday. Everyone was perfectly nice and they put in our dessert the candles that I brought with me. Yet the whole experience felt underwhelming. We were sat in a corner booth upstairs away from the fun and vibrancy of the first floor. The food was staid and salt was the main flavor. I haven’t been in several years and it seems like the menu hasn’t been updated much. The carrot cabbage slaw was on repeat in a couple dishes. The mochi dessert we ordered we overly gummy and lacking the pungent flavors I expected based on the description. Cocktails were well done and on par with the costs of drinks these days but the food prices seem high for small dishes that aren’t as original as they were 10+ years ago.

One of my favorite things to do on vacation is try new restaurants, and this was definitely one of my favorite dining experiences. Not only was our server friendly and knowledgeable, but the food was incredible. The pork belly bao buns were beyond, and the farro Ceasar was amazing. Wish I lived closer and could go all the time!

I wish I remember our servers name. She was so amazing. A great sense of humor and not over watching but we were always in reach when we needed something. The food was so amazing. I was taking out my soninlaw for his birthday and we went with the servers recommendation on the sets of things we ordered.

Wow- love the small plates format and the fusion cuisine. We loved trying different things like bison steak Kushiyaki, bbq duck bao (nice pickled vegetables,) Korean BBQ tacos, scallion pancakes. Everything was perfectly prepared. After we were done with dinner, we went outside and ordered ice cream at the ice cream shop outside. Delightful evening. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful.

We've been to Linger mutiple times over the years. We took some friends from out of state to Linger last night and while the restaurant was packed, the experience was sub-par at best. It took 30 minutes to get my mocktail that was a flavorless sugar bomb. Our food arrived in a chaotic manner with the staff being unsure of what they were delivering and to which table. Basic questions were met with puzzled expressions . Portions are also chaotic with inexpensive ingredients like rice noodles and lettuce in abundance and proteins ( mostly an upcharge) extremely inadequate for the dish. Wait staff was ckearly too busy to be attentive and table discussion is difficult over the kitchen staff yelling at each other. On a positive note, Linger has a great view of the city and a cool space. Several years ago, getting into Linger in the summer was virtually impossible because of their food quality and service. I was surprised that I didnt see them on restaurant recommendarion lists, but know I know why. There is far better food and service for the price in Denver. Sadly, Linger has fallen down considerably. Linger has an amazing
