We had a fabulous evening with Caitlin as our waitress extraordinaire. She always makes us feel like we are a special guest. She also makes sure that our meal is exactly the way we love to have it. We love Culinary Dropouts.

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 was our second time to dine here. Love the ambience. The food in general was not as good this time as it was when we dined here last year.
