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.

    Generally speaking, Linger has been great and we enjoy dining there. However, we made a reservation for lunch on a Saturday at 2:30pm, and on the day of our reservation we got a phone call from the restaurant letting us know that they “lock the doors at 2:30pm, so could we come a few minutes early?”. And they also told us the kitchen would be shutting down, so we should order our food when we order our drinks (Linger is a small plates/tapas restaurant, so ordering everything at once is not really how they operate). Sure enough, when we tried to order one last dish we were told no, that the kitchen had been shut down. To their credit, they let us enjoy our food and conversation after they had “locked the doors” but it was overall an uncomfortable situation and was disappointing because we brought friends who had never been to Linger, and we did not get the full experience. It’s my opinion that Linger should not be making reservations when the restaurant and the kitchen are closed. Customer service was lacking in this instance.

    DO BETTER Linger. The fixed Valentine’s menu felt mass produced. Expensive risotto was gummy and stuck in my teeth. Scallops were over browned and undercooked. Main course was dropped off at the table while I was half way done with the underwhelming wedge salad. Two people tried to serve us champagne meant for another table. All of this for a very pretty penny! In fairness, our server Xander was delightful, and the Mortuary Margarita was fantastic.

    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.

    Fantastic dinning experience! Everyone was so nice and attentive. I proposed to my girlfriend and she said yes! The staff and management proceeded to make it a night to remember, guaranteeing our return in the spring when we can enjoy the rooftop view.
