  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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.

The bartender upstairs was so helpful, knowledgeable and fun to chat with while we waited for our table. We tried multiple dishes which were all amazing and had such varying and complex flavors. The waitstaff was great - perfect combo of attentive but never overbearing. Overall ambience and decor is exotic and creative. Would definitely come back!

We ordered a number of dishes and had them family style so everyone could try everything which was great…no dish disappointed. We also appreciated that the music was at a level where it added ambience but didn’t hinder conversation by being too loud. Service was prompt and attentive, and the dishes came out as they were ready instead of all at once so that we always had a hot dish ready to try. This will definitely be the place I bring out-of-towners to when they visit, as well as our family’s go to.

They worked with us when we needed to add extra members to our party, and even made special arrangements with the kitchen to make sure that we were satisfied. The delicious food and drinks were also the perfect cherry on top. We can’t wait to go back!

After dinner we went up to the rooftop and got to experience one of their Christmas pop-up igloos! It was very cute and we really enjoyed our time. All of the staff were very kind and accommodating as well. Definitely recommend for a date night or girl’s night.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and couldn’t be happier with our experience. We were given a Happy Anniversary card signed by the staff, and a glass of champagne. The food was fantastic. Our server Naj was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and she added to our enjoyment. We love Linger!
