Best Global Restaurants in Central

We loved the vibe of the place....the menu was varied and what we had was very good. Decent selection of wines. As it's on the 16th St Mall, there was lots to see/do on the way there and back (we were walking).

The service and food were amazing. The staff at Linger were very kind, helpful, and courteous. The food was all around top quality. It was a specialty 4 course Valentine’s Day menu, by my girlfriend and I were very pleased with the choices and look forward to taking another night out at Linger to try the rest of the menu.

The food was delicious and visually a work of art as presented on the plate. We went for Valentine's day, and Root Down created the perfect atmosphere to celebrate love. The service was amazing, and the staff were super helpful, attentive, and had a wonderful positive energy. I forgot to ask the name of our server, but she was excellent, as was Grace, who helped us make sure our reservation was perfect.

We enjoy Izakaya Den and understand that it has complex menu choices, which we consider a feature (not a bug). However, our waiter managed to make the menu more confusing rather than easier to navigate. We couldn't tell whether he was trying to "sell" us on items, provide information, or just hear himself talk! He got very far afield on the preparation of Tuna Collar and then discovered that he was describing a totally different dish. He also laid-on a thick layer of jargon, i.e "flavor profiles", etc. instead of speaking with clarity. The experience at Izakaya Den is already very good and didn't need to be embellished with BS. Fortunately, since one in our party has serious allium (onion/garlic) and gluten sensitivities, the order was placed correctly. We'll definitely will return again, and just hope we don't get the same waiter! Yeesh!

Lovely food. Was packed on a Monday night. It all looks like a rather regular Italian place, until... you start eating the food. Somehow they have infused some Indian flavors into the Italian cuisine, making for a fantastic unique dining experience. Service was great, ambience the same.
