    The bone marrow was excellent! Unfortunately, we filled up on that and the focaccia before our pasta came. The Bolognese and pesto were both excellent and went home with us. Our server Reo was great! We ended with the sticky toffee which was unbelievable.

    Linger always has great food and drinks! We did have to wait 15 mins over our reservation time of 8pm which was disappointing because we had a strict end time for the evening, and we couldn’t even get drinks while we were waiting because their bar was full.

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal there. Each course was better than the last! Might not have ordered the halibut or the sirloin and instead paid more attention to the smaller bites. The sauces were amazing, the guacamole out of this world! Highly highly recommend! Service was impeccable, friendly, informative, fun. I’m picky about my margaritas and there’s were amazing! We also tried the avocado. Margarita, delicious!

    We had a wonderful experience at O&Ps. The food was outstanding, particularly the Gorgonzola/Pear Butternut squash. The server was very helpful and took great pain to make sure all was well. We were personally greeted by both owners. I can't recommend this any higher.
