    Food was delicious and creative. Our waiter was friendly, but there were only two servers and every table was taken, so maybe one more server would’ve meant we would have seen him more. We had the bananas foster sticky bun (omg) the cider braised pork Benedict (very good) and the squash hash (creative and very tasty).

    My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!
