- CChadDenver / Colorado •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOverall great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow. Food is very good but also rich and unique so with tapas style dining there was bound to be some flavors we didn't like but that doesn't necessarily mean anything was bad. This place always has delicious, well presented food and a location, ambiance and view that can't be beat.More infoEl FivePrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• Highlands•4.7
- CCasperDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe service and food were amazing. The staff at Linger were very kind, helpful, and courteous. The food was all around top quality. It was a specialty 4 course Valentine’s Day menu, by my girlfriend and I were very pleased with the choices and look forward to taking another night out at Linger to try the rest of the menu.More infoLingerPrice: Expensive• Global, International• Highlands•4.7
- AAshtonVIPAtlantic City / South Jersey Shore •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAbsolutely loved our experience at Mezcaleria! The food and the service were incredible. We were sat at the bar and loved the experience watching the chefs prepare our food and getting suggestions for what to order. We tried the tostada with sashimi tuna, oxtail taco, tuna pescadilla, and the beef cheek with mole. We could have eaten 6 of the oxtail tacos each, they were so tender and flavorful. The only thing we would skip next time is the tuna pescadilla, as it was truly like a Mexican tuna melt and a bit fishy. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the Negroni - the flavor was a bit watered down for my liking. Overall had a great experience and look forward to returning!More infoMezcaleria AlmaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• LoHi•5
- LLukeDenver / Colorado •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoIn all the years we've been coming here, I've never had anything less than a stellar experience on every level. The only thing better than the food is the cocktails, and every single person that works there can suggest a cocktail and food pairing perfectly paid to your tastes. Please don't come here so we can continue to get reservations!More infoWilliams & GrahamPrice: Expensive• American• Highlands•4.8

We weren't sure what to expect as it was our 1st visit, but we were very pleased with the food & service.
