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.

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.

What a cool restaurant! Loved the open concept kitchen. Ambiance was great with warm lighting, welcoming atmosphere, bustling but not too loud, and incredible design with a unique eclectic flare. We were a bit disappointed at first as our reservation was pushed back a few minutes due to some larger parties still wrapping up their service BUT if we hadn’t had an extra 10 minutes, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to check out their super cool rooftop! Loved all the photo ops, the Bus themed mini bar with appetizers and I definitely want to come back to use their cool igloo seats for the holidays! Jillian was our server and she was so sweet and had great recommendations. From our drinks to food, everything was fast and extremely delicious. Can’t wait to come back for more :)
