5/5 amazing food and fantastic service. Came to celebrate an anniversary and was blown away by the food, especially the wagyu sliders (highly recommend). Our server was Ryan Pearl who was fantastic!! He made great recommendations and took the time to explain the menu so we knew what to expect when placing the order. He was timely, friendly, and very professional. Will 100% be coming back!!

We had the most amazing time at Linger! I'm gluten intolerant and they were able to make everything I wanted gluten-free! The food is delicious, and this is the second time we've dined there in a month. We agreed this is the best food we've ever had at a restaurant and that's saying something because we literally keep a spreadsheet of all the places we've been but we are picky foodies. We LOVED the lamb. The Wagyu sliders were incredible. I haven't had cheese curds in probably 6 years since going gluten-free, and the dip it came with was so incredible. I even ate the peppers it came with! My fiancé loved the pork belly bao bun that he had and next time he wants to try a "flight" of all of them! And we can't get over the crispy brussel sprouts and whatever sauce is on it. They are so sweet and tangy and every time we took a bite we had to sit back and savor it. It was a really generous portion but we ate almost all of it between the two of us. We were stuffed. AND THEN the server came out with a scoop of chocolate mousse with a birthday candle in it to celebrate my birthday! The staff had signed a card for me too. It was SO decadent, we decided not to get ice cream next door like we had planned because we were set. I want to order that mousse next time but didn't see it on the menu, but that almost made it more special because it's exclusive! That or we were too full to look hard enough. We will be back... with friends next time! This is our favorite place in Denver. Compliments to the chefs!

Neat place that used to be a mortuary, which is pretty cleverly worked into the concept. Appetizers were all pretty great, we loved the crab cheese wontons. Entress were good and the portions were generous. Staff was nice, this place isn't quite what it once was, but still a good experience that's worth your while.

Went here for my 3 year anniversary we left full and happy. For starters they gave us a complementary pallet cleanser as a congratulatory present. We ordered a ton of food and it was actually delicious. You can tell the chef takes their time on formulating flavors that will leave you wanting more and thinking about it. It wasn’t our first time going to Linger every time we eat there the food is excellent and we leave satisfied. The interior designer adaptively reused this building and made it into a classy upscale eatery with warm chandeliers and romantic ambiance. The service is always amazing the restaurant is clean! The food is fresh and locally sourced.
