We just had the best Thanksgiving dinner at Church & Union! They were super busy but the host maintained his composure & was so nice. It feels trendy & upbeat there. We were sat downstairs which was super cool! Our server Miles took such good care of us. He made the effort to connect with us. The food was delicious! We were stuffed! We look forward to coming back on a non holiday!

Excellent date night. Food was tasty and inventive. The dumpling wrappers and the Malaysian noodles were a bit too thick and chewy for my taste but the flavors were amazing and really well blended. Excellent service. The best I’ve had in a really long time. Dishes were timed perfectly and they even gave us a complimentary anniversary dessert, which was our favorite dish of the night! Highly recommend.

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!
