    Denver "Omelette" Sammy
    Lindsey C.

    Well... I used to really love Linger but this last experience was really just ok. For starters, it was extremely hot in the restaurant and incredibly loud even though it wasn't really that busy which just made it uncomfortable. The server was very nice though but the food.... Meh... we went for brunch and my mom had the BLT Biscuit which came out cold, she liked the salad however the plate was so hot it made her salad warm. I had the Denver Omelette Sammy and it was ok. It says it's a crumpet but it was 100% an English muffin and it just wasn't great. There just wasn't much flavor and the home fries were too salty. Maybe it was just a bad day... I'll definitely try again.

    Linger is situated on what used to be a mortuary. Spooky! However, there is nothing spooky about the service, food, and atmosphere here. It's all peachy! The atmosphere is super nice. Especially on a day with the sun out and a slight breeze, make sure to sit by the open windows for a phenomenal experience while looking at the Denver Downtown view. Bonus points if you get their bottomless mimosas! I was impressed with their food. I got a Mongolian BBQ Duck Bao as well as the Maine Lobster Roll. The bao was too salty for me but I typically like my food on the bland side. The lobster roll was great! I have had lobster rolls before with a weak portion of lobster but there was plenty on the one at Linger. The side of potatoes excellently complemented the lobster roll. Kat was our server and she was great with answering all of our questions, checking in on us just the right amount, and being very personable. Thanks, Kat! If you are looking to take someone on a business lunch, a date, or anything like that, I would highly recommend going to Linger!

    Linger's rooftop atmosphere was great! The food truck was cute--unfortunately, (for me) there were too many people in front to take a photo, but the two guys working it were very friendly. The food we shared: CRISPY CHEESE CURDS: Beer Batter, Shishitos & Jalapeño Jam and HOT HONEY SWEET FRIES Æ: Waffle Cut & Mile High Seasoning was tasty. The drink prices were very high; two of us purchased the rose bubbly, and the pour size was very small f"and cost $16 per drink. My partner had a beer. My drink, plus his beer, plus tip was $30. Yikes! Neither drinks were fancy and a bottle of MCBRIDE SISTERS sparkling rose in a liquor store is $17.99. I know that venues and restaurants upcharge, however, for the pour size...ridiculous. Luckily, the atmosphere outweighed the overly priced drinks.

    Fun rooftop bar that's an eatuary because it's where it was once a mortuary. Great happy hour with many app and cocktail options. We had their old fashioned. Service was kind and the offline app works there as well! Great little part of town

    I can't believe it's been 5 years since I last visited Linger! I love the Edible Beats restaurant family. I'm pretty sure I still have a little money left on a gift card and would love to come back again. The most recent time was for a work dinner. We ordered an assortment of dishes to share. Their cocktails are tasty, though I don't recall which ones I tried. Not a bad seat in the house, either. I'm always a fan of their Devils on Horseback. I enjoyed the Steamed Bao and Sweet Potato Fries more than last time, though YEARS ago my visit was during the pandemic. The Ube Ice Cream was unique - would recommend. Actually, it's crazy to look at my food pictures from both visits and realize I basically ordered the same things. There are lots more options on the menu, which I'll try next time!

    We had brunch reservations here for a friend's bachelorette and it was a great space to gather with friends. The service was the best, they were so attentive and provided great recommendations for food. I loved my drink, the Final Petal and my friend got the breakfast Dosa which was delicious. Highly recommend if you are Denver.

    I've been here 3 or 4 times, and every time, it does not disappoint! The vibes are on point. I can't wait to check out the rooftop sometime. The staff is always friendly and makes great suggestions. And the food is always fresh and delicious. Linger is a Denver staple!

    This is a cool restaurant and bar that used to be a Mortuary. It has very comfy seating with an open air view of the funky Highlands area of downtown. Our server, Katie was attentive and also offered several great suggestions on the menu. The three of us opted to start with 2 of the pork belly Bao-so delicious! We then had the potstickers which were so flavorful on their own that they did not need the dipping sauce. Then we shared the duck confit fried rice which did not disappoint. We were pleasantly satiated with those three items that we did not have room for anything else. The bar on the second level looked like the old Light Brite game above and on the bar top. So fun! I definitely recommend this place and you should make a reservation as it's quite popular!

    I have a bit different opinion about this place now as I dined at this place with my daughter about a week or so ago on a Wednesday and from service to food to ambiance, everything went quite well (to my surprise.) Hence, I must write. We showed up to our 5:30pm reservation. We were immediately seated unlike the last time (at our last dining occasion 6+ months or so ago, despite making a reservation, we had to wait for AT LEAST 10-15 minutes or a bit longer until they had a table for us.) This sure was a nice start. Then our waitress, Lauren (Lo is how she goes by, I believe) was exceptional. Her attentiveness coupled with her quiet and yet eloquent delivery of speech to explain several different menus and her familiarity with them was top notch. She was also able to make great suggestions as to which dish(es) we should get when we stumbled. Some dishes were a bit too salty to my liking and yet overall, they entertained our palates and stomachs. To mention some of them, the presentation of the Crispy Filipino Spring Rolls (2) ($7 from the HH menu) was creative. The long skinny deep-fried spring rolls were unapologetically and perfectly deep-fried with the nicest crispiness. The two sauces that accompanied the rolls added some enhancement to the whole savoring. The Smashed Wagyu Sliders' meat was quite rich. HH price of $8.5 is one-piece price and we ordered two of those. The portion size was decent. Anything that's wagyu can be pricey; I can call $8.5 a decent price. My daughter wanted skewers so we got us the Bison Steak Kushiyaki based on our wonderful waitress' suggestion. The meat was quite tender. Well-seasoned. Now our dessert to conclude our night - and once again, based on our wonderful waitress' suggestion - we went with the Maduros & Crema (roasted plantain, crema de queso mousse, smoked almond & cotija). This truly shocked us as we had never had a dessert quite like this before. Although this takes long to prepare (as our waitress explained), it was worth the wait. $12 (as of early March of 2026) seemed like a fare price for it as the portion size justified it. I think I will dine at Linger again. Although it still isn't my absolute favorites, our last week's dining experience became a reason as to why we should consider Linger as we see fit.

    Resting Place

    Tried Linger for the first time during Denver Restaurant Week and had a good overall experience. The special was $45 per person for a three-course meal, plus an amuse and specials on different alcoholic drinks. I went with one other person, which worked out well because we were able to try a lot of different dishes. For starters we chose the Mongolian BBQ Duck Bao Buns and the Crispy Togarashi Brussel Sprouts with pickled mushroom, hot honey, and yuzu kosho aioli. The bao had good flavor but could have used more fresh textural elements. That being said the brussel sprouts were delicious! They were crispy with a really nice balance of sweet, savory, and a little heat. For mains we ordered the Crispy Trout and the Hanger Steak. The trout was the standout of the night it was super flavorful with punchy spices and just the right level of heat in the sauce. The different textural elements in the dish with the fresh notes and crunchy notes kept the dish so interesting. The hanger steak was a bit disappointing in comparison. The beans on the plate were slightly tough and overall the flavors didn't quite come together the way we hoped. For dessert we had the Italian Coffee and Donuts and the Maduros and Crema. The donuts paired with the chocolate ganache were fantastic. The maduros dish was really creative and interesting conceptually, though for my personal taste it leaned a bit too sweet. For drinks, I tried the Resting Place cocktail (lavender vodka, raspberry, lemon, and tonic), which was very refreshing and well balanced. Service throughout the meal was incredible and the dishes came out perfectly paced, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The only downside is that parking in the area can be tough, so plan ahead. Overall, a a fun Restaurant Week meal with great service and I will definitely be coming back to try their regular menu!

    Hangover Ramen and Korean Fried Chicken Bun.
    Awk S.

    Quick little stop for lunch. We made reservations but it wasn't very busy for a Saturday around lunch time. The rooftop wasn't open when we arrived, but got a table by the window. We ordered the Korean chicken buns and hangover ramen. The elderflower spritz was also a refreshing cocktail. We will have to come back and explore the menu, cocktails and rooftop!

    Linger's food definitely surprised me, but in a good way! You have the option of sitting in the restaurant or going up to their rooftop, however, their rooftop has less food options than the actual restaurant, so beware. Me and my friend ended up on the rooftop, since we wanted to be seated more quickly. We decided to split the smash burger and the ramen. The smash burger was perfectly seasoned! The hot honey sweet potato fries were unique and very tasty. The ramen was also a surprise! It was also very cold that day in Denver, so it was the perfect entree to split. The broth was pretty flavorful for being a fusion restaurant. I would definitely be curious to eat from their full menu in the future to try other food options, but I would say Linger is a great spot that would satisfy many different tastebuds!

    Delicious as usual. Such a cool vibe and location with unique story behind the building. The staff is incredibly helpful with helping you choose what you want and not order too much food. I love the order as you go environment. This is a must stop by restaurant for me when I'm in Denver.

    How limited is parking? I see they have valet and street parking. I'm trying to decide whether or not to take the light rail. If parking if difficult to grab, I might just take the train. Suggestions, anyone?

    There's a public parking lot across the street we didn't have any issue parking on a weekend evening there. There's also street parking all around the neighborhood.… Read more

    Is the rooftop with food truck as first available or reservation?

    I have been able to get it as a walk-in, but I'm sure your mileage may vary...

    Does Linger have TVs? Would they be playing the college National championship?

    No tv's! Great spot for good food, drinks and discussion!

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Doubt it since the patio is the rooftop.

    What meal or dish would you recommend?

    We had the Bao bun trio and the devils on horseback, both were delicious

    Are they doing anything for mew years like a roof top party?

    We typically offer a pre-fixed dinner. As long as the weather is great we will have the rooftop open!

    Is brunch everyday, or only on the weekends?

    Brunch is Served Friday- Sunday, from 10:00 am - 2:00 PM. Check out the Bottomless Mimosas!

    Do you have to make reservations for dinner?

    No they are not necessary. However, Reservations are highly recommended.

    Are they still having their regular happy hour 4-5?

    Happy Hour is currently available 4:00- 5:00 pm Monday - Thursday

    Do they have any gluten free options?

    Yes! Their gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu (try the bacon wrapped dates and waffle fries!), just make sure you specify you want the items gluten free.

    Do they allow you to bring your own wine and pay corkage?

    I don't think they are BYOB. Not from what I seen during my visit

    Do they have late night happy hour?

    Yes! :).. Enjoy the view.

    What time are kids allowed until?

    Kids are definitely welcomed there. They have an awesome kids meal that they serve in a bento-box style plate, and they have high chairs.

    Is the patio heated during the winter?

    A part of it, it is. I don't think they are on on really cold days.

    How kid friendly is Linger?

    Not very at all at the bar but maybe downstairs with reservations... but the bar is a bar scene

    Uchi is dangerous for people like me…read more Not because of the raw fish. Because the place understands seduction. I've been eating at Uchi since it opened in Denver and today it still carries that same intoxicating balance of precision, warmth, swagger, and restraint. The room itself glows instead of shouts. Wood slats divide the dining room into little private theaters while the sushi counter hums with focused choreography. Expert hands moving constantly. Rice. Fish. Quiet communication. Tiny acts of discipline repeated hundreds of times a night. I sat down intending to have a civilized happy hour. That plan lasted maybe twelve minutes. The kurodai crudo arrived first. Gooseberry, leche de tigre, candied garlic. Bright, sharp, and alive. This is the kind of starter that wakes up your entire palate and you are reminded that you will absolutely be spending more money than originally intended. Next was the bincho temaki: cool albacore, kimchi, avocado, and a vividly garish orange sauce with some heat to keep the richness from becoming too much. Uchi understands something many restaurants don't: luxuriousness needs balance. Fatty fish without acid, spice, crunch, or brightness is palate exhaustion. And then one after another the deliciousness continued: the oysters were cold and perfect with cucumber, calamansi vinegar, and umeboshi. The day boat scallop nigiri nearly stopped time altogether. Just sweet scallops, rice, citrus, a little finishing salt. Incréable. Or whatever the French word is for "I briefly forgot my own name." And somewhere during martini number one, the staff adopted me. Apparently Uchi keeps notes on guests. Mine, I was told, says I'm "nice and a good eater," which may be the most flattering thing anyone has said to me in months. Suddenly more dishes started appearing. Gifted nigiri. Ikura glowing like little amber jewels (my favorite). A ridiculous and completely delicious carrot toro maki with green chili crunch and enough heat underneath the richness to make the whole thing flirt openly with your mouth. At one point the bartenders literally invented a "walu walu shot" on the fly just because the mood had drifted into improvisational chaos. This was somewhere between oyster shooter, seafood dare, and excellent bad decisions. Meanwhile, the guests next to me started talking to me and the entire energy of the evening shifted into communal sushi-bar joy. Suddenly we were all reacting to dishes, laughing, comparing bites, participating in the same ecosystem of salt, fish, alcohol, and temporary human connection. This is the real thing Uchi sells. Not merely sushi. Attention. Rhythm. Atmosphere. Memory. The feeling of being folded into a beautifully functioning machine dedicated entirely to pleasure. And yes, by the end I was emotional enough to remember being 20 years old eating sushi with an older woman named Alana who wore real fur and introduced me to this whole sensual adult world in the first place. That is what a martini and exceptional nigiri will do to a man. The final bill before tip was somehow only $141, which honestly feels mathematically impossible considering I briefly entered a spiritual relationship with the sushi counter. I tipped $50 because at that point we were basically family. Uchi remains one of the sexiest restaurants in Denver. Not performatively sexy. Not influencer sexy. Actually sexy. Confident. Observant. Generous. Precise. And just dangerous enough to make you order one more thing. Amazing dining experience.

My husband and I were really looking forward to having a go-to Asian restaurant that was walking distance from our house. We did attempt to come one time prior, around 5pm on the weekend but it was already full. This time, we came on a Thursday before 5pm and there were plenty of tables. We started with the Smashed Cucumber Salad and the Beijing Style Dumplings that were on happy hour. I am not sure if the Soy Sauce was confused with the Black Vinegar jar for the cucumbers but they were extremely vinegary and that is coming from someone who loves adding vinegar to many Asian dishes. The Beijing dumplings were good, thicker wrapper but a hefty dumpling. We actually had to dip the cucumbers in the dumpling sauce that was a bit sweet to make the cucumbers more enjoyable. For main entrees, I got the Vietnamese Garlic Noodle and my husband got the Ants Climbing a Tree. As a Chinese person whose parents were born in Hong Kong, I have never had butter noodles before. The Vietnamese Garlic Noodles were butter noodles with shrimp and broccoli and garlic bits. I was extremely confused. It wasn't bad per se but... it was egg noodles with butter and shrimp essentially. Not worth $23 at all. The Ants Climbing a Tree was an overabundance of spice. Spice with no additional flavor. My husband loves spicy foods but he couldn't eat much of this. I took a break from my butter noodles and tried a bite of this and it was spicy upon touching my tongue and spicy as a lingering flavor. As to not waste food, he took this home and begrudgingly ate it for lunch and still was not pleased with it. We also ordered the Hong Kong French Toast. It has been a very long time since I had an authentic HK French Toast in HK but the taste is reminiscent of the actual dish. I liked the kaya coconut jam inside. This was my favorite of the meal. I do not understand the hype of Ginger Pig. If you are used to having Chinese fast casual food and wanted to venture more into authentic Chinese food, I suppose this would be good but I cannot recommend this. It is vey expensive for the basic food. I suppose the quality of the food is good, cooked well, but the flavors do not work for me. I will not be returning. I would rather have gone to Panda Express or Pei Wei (I don't even like Pei Wei) where my expectations would have been met instead of spending a lot of money and being disappointed with my food.

    Stop the clocks, sound the horns and release the hounds, a truly worthy restaurant was discovered…read morein Denver that should be celebrated. Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.

Had one cocktail that was very good. Reminded me of a cherry cola. Service was excellent, people were always at our table, picking up dishes, asking if we needed anything further. Would definitely go back again. We want to try some of the other flavors of Ramen.

We had a large variety of items throughout the menu and not one disappointed. The Matcha Tiramisu was fabulous. I'm not usually a fan of tiramisu so I am grateful I was convinced.

The vibe here is of a japanese izakaya, though not a super traditional one, with sake bombs and everything. That said, the food is definitely on the pricier side, though extremely delicious. My typical go to is on of the salad. Now salads typically are not standout at most restaurants, but the ones at Kawa Ni just hits different. Both the red cabbage and pear salad and the brocolli salad are delicious and the portion is massive, easily enough for a table of 4 to share. For apps and shareable entrees, you can't go wrong here. The build your own tuna temaki hand rolls can easily be shared and the tuna is so fresh and well seasoned. The szechuan dumplings are delicious, as is the curry onigiri and the bao bun. The Dan Dan noodle, kimchi Carbonara, and their tonkotsu ramen are also amazing, and, with the exception of the tonkotsu ramen, can easily be shared. I would highly recommend other seasonal dishes as well, such as the coconut swordfish or chicken katsu parm. However, one of my absolute favorite dish here is the ochazuke. It's basically grilled fish over rice in a warm green tea dashi. It's so comforting, especially on a cold night, and a dish that I return to time and time again. Overall, Kawa Ni is an amazing japanese restaurant. Come for the food and just make sure you get a sake bomb and ask for the gong when you do.
