About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    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.

    Linger has great food and once you get your table - the service is stellar. Had a not as great time with the front desk. We had a reservation for 12:00 - arrived on time and were told to wait. Multiple other people came in after us an were seated immediately and there were open tables. At 12:10 I inquired when we were going to be seated and the multiple other tables were seated after we arrived. The hostess was fairly rude and basically told us to continue to wait - no sorry - no apologies for the delayed seating - and basically treatment like it was wrong of me to inquire we still weren’t seated 10 minutes after our reservation. We finally got a table by 12:15 - but definitely left a sour taste in our mouths for the whole meal.

    Was there for the Death in Drag Brunch. It was amazing! The show was so much fun, great atmosphere - just a touch loud - but awesome! I hope you do it again. The food and bottomless mimosas were perfect - especially since I wasn’t driving! I had the Denver Omelet Sammy and it was very good and perfect amount. Overall Linger never disappoints in service, food, atmosphere. The management staff, servers and hostesses are the best!

    We came for the drag show brunch. It was a lot of fun. However it was hard to see the performers from our table. We did have a good time and enjoyed the food!

    Delicious, eclectic menu, with a great atmosphere! I just wish the weather was better so we could’ve gone to the rooftop– – next time! And, you have to check out Little Man ice cream shop next-door, even more deliciousness!
