Hot spot
Neighborhood gem

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.

There is no better place to have fun, eat socialize and get wonderful drinks and appetizers. In the heart of low high, Denver and close to downtown is a wonderful restaurant for meeting friends, family, and walking to Little man ice cream after dinner.

My family & I had a marvelous brunch at Linger before our matinee of A Christmas Carol. The food was excellent. Eating gluten free and dairy free can limit our choices; it was wonderful to have a range of tasty choices. We tried the cashew queso & chips (everyone enjoyed). I had the lobster rolls, which had large chunks of lobster with crunchy vegetables. My husband had the make-your-own breakfast plate which he thoroughly enjoyed. My son had the chicken & waffles (not GF); and he too was very satisfied. Service was great; thank you, Xander! We will be back.

Food was acidic for some dishes like the gastrique for the dates, lobster was overcooked and the rice was undercooked. I may have a stronger opinion due to living with other cooks, but the menu has some great concepts. They’re just missing the foundation of flavor balance and correctly cooking some proteins and carbs.

Had a birthday celebration here. The food was outstanding, service was incredible. The staff even signed a bday card for me and brought me dessert. It's so festive right now for Christmas. The rooftop pop up bar is a wonderland. Highly recommend!!!
