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!

This is extremely splurge-worthy. The service was some of the best we've ever had. Great options across the board, super creative drinks and food, beautiful setting. House made focaccia was beyond delicious. For gluten-free guests, they work hard to provide you lots of options too. We'll definitely be back, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should!
