    Ube Ice Cream
    Stefanie C.

    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!

    Final Petal
    Bassey A.

    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.

    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
    Isobel R.

    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!

    Bison steak kushiyaki
    Briann R.

    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.

    Pad Thai
    Courtney F.

    $34 Pad Thai (that was not worth it). The atmosphere and overall layout of this place is a vibe. It's fun to sit at the upstairs bar that mimics the nostalgic "Lite Bright" game I had as a kid. But unfortunately I've had multiple poor experiences with the service here and the food is just OK.

    Short Rib Bibimap Benedict and espresso martini
    Kerrie H.

    We came to Denver for a show at Red Rocks and one of the artists posted about this place. It did not disappoint! First, our waiter Zander was amazing! Great service, great repertoire, and had the best recommendations. We ordered espresso martinis, Bloody Marys, and Micheladas. Food, we ordered the short rib Benedict, Birria tamales, and the Denver Sammy. NONE of the food disappointed. We also ordered the donut holes and the bao buns. Seriously... none of the food disappointed and it was probably the best brunch place we ever ate at. The restaurant is a rooftop restaurant so you can look out making the ambiance impeccable. We are for sure coming back any time when we come back to Denver.

    We have always had dinners at linger and never had the chance to try their brunch - I must say, I like the brunch here too! Got a half order of the pandan waffle and regretted my decision on not getting the whole order!! This waffle is just too good to miss out on especially if you like pandan. I also saw another item with Ube Pandan - I'm sure that must be really good too. I got the breakfast dosa and my husband got the birria tamale - both really good. I did wish if my dosa was a tad bit hot! It was crispy and I loved the addition of apricots in my dosa. The tamale was birria heavy which my husband loved. Service is always good out here. I'm glad we stopped by to try their brunch menu and I probably will be back in a couple years again. This is a Denver favorite for sure!

    Pork Potstickers
    John B.

    Great joint in the center of Lower Highlands. Try to sit upstairs if at all possible. All dishes we had were amazing

    Cranberry mandarin margarita
    Chelsea R.

    There's hype for a reason and it's well deserved. Food was impeccable - particular dark horse were the Brussels and the wagyu sliders with hot honey fries are every bit as delicious as you expect. I'd get the chicken over the duck for bao buns if we went again and would also get pork belly. The margarita was a STANDOUT (I think she said the seasonal flavor was cranberry mandarin?). Service was great and really timely, she did great helping guide our choices. Ambiance is always fun, eclectic, a little on the noisy side. Had such a great experience here my first time I'm always worried the follow up visit won't match my expectations but it totally did!

    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

Lately it feels like a lot of restaurants are charging more while giving less, and it's getting harder to find places that actually care about the customer experience. Unfortunately, this was another one of those experiences. We ordered three side dishes and three drinks, and the bill came out to around $100. Two of the three sides were served cold, the dumplings at least came out hot, but they were pretty mediocre and nothing I'd order again and drinks were extremely over priced. The waitress was fine, no real issues there, but it did feel like the food may have been sitting in the kitchen too long before it hit the table even though the place was empty. At the end of the day, it's hard to justify paying that kind of money for cold, underwhelming food, then feeling awkward about the tip because the experience just wasn't good. I won't be back. If I had known this is what the experience was I would have definitely gone somewhere else. As an added bonus I felt like crap afterwords, I think it was because of poor quality ingredients. My aim in writing these reviews is to highlight the restaurants and businesses that truly take care of their customers, to give people a heads up about the ones that clearly do not prioritize quality or the customer experience, and to express myself in a world where it often feels like there is very little room to speak honestly about paying top dollar for mediocre experiences. Very disappointing.

    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.

A must try for anyone who appreciates exceptional sushi, great service, and an experience that feels special from beginning to end.

Service sometimes can be short in communication but expected especially when they're working all day and don't have time to eat but their food never misses! It's never crowded or busy when we come no matter the time of day, never noisy always sit at a booth. I highly recommend this place I will always come here when visiting Denv

    I'm not sure how it took us this long to finally check this spot out, but I'm so glad we did. We…read moremanaged to snag a couple of seats at the bar, which was buzzing with energy for a Thursday evening. Since they're known for their dumplings, we naturally had to order a few varieties. The pork and mushroom dumplings were rich and deeply savory, but the real standout was the chicken and corn, absolutely packed with flavor and perfectly executed. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice, which exceeded expectations. It featured plentiful, full-sized shrimp and a generous portion size that makes it incredibly easy to share. Between the excellent food and the lively atmosphere, we had a great experience and will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu.

    This place is always hopping so it's been hard for us to make priority out of going here. However,…read moreit was a Friday night and we had already set on ordering takeout, and it turns out this was a great option. I can only assume that the fact that it's dim sum means that they've just got a ton of this stuff on hand and we placed our order it was definitely the busiest time of the night, but it was ready in 20 minutes. Got everything home, it was packed very conveniently for takeout, still hot, still great. Everything was amazing. I'm not gonna recommend anything in particular because it's dim sum. You should order everything you should try everything it's worth it. Nothing was bad. When I'm eating dim sum I want to be impulsive and just eat whatever's in front of me and you can do this with this menu. Now I did go into the restaurant to pick up my order and I will say ambience was very cool, I really would like to come back and actually di e i . It seemed like it would be a great experience.

    So glad I went here tonight! It's been on my list for years and I've definitely been missing out…read more The food came out really fast and our waitress was great, she was super friendly with lots of recommendations. Definitely order the Hong Kong French toast, the Mac salad, ants climbing a tree (spicy), and the tom yum tofu! You won't regret getting bunch if plates to share.

    What a fun flavor experience! I already find good tom yum soup to be so interestingly complex and…read moreall of those same notes of savory, tangy, aromatic, and fresh translated beautifully into a creamy pasta sauce that fully coated each strand of spaghetti. The burst tomatoes and slices of meaty mushroom made it even more fun to eat. My only complaint here is that the protein was rather skimpy. I think the dish probably had one shrimp and one mushroom total. Bummer. The Hong Kong French toast was exceptional. Golden and crispy crunchy on the outside, fluffy soft bread on the inside with a deliciously smooth kaya jam filling. Not too sweet. Could eat this every day. Will dream about it. I also tried the "Cink it again!" mocktail which was light and bright. It tasted mostly of fresh watermelon but the n/a liquor lent a depth to it that made it feel like an alcoholic drink in a good way. The vibe was more casual than I expected which is great. Love good, interesting food that feels approachable. We started with a server that was in training and forgot about us but someone else noticed after not too long and checked in on us. No big deal. It happens. They had a few other items on the menu that were very tempting. Looking forward to my next visit.

Uncle makes me want to move to Denver! To start the ambiance is really chill and inviting with warm lighting and offers countertop as well as table seating. Our server was amazing and explained the menu well and made some recommendations that did not disappoint. We ordered way to much food but I do not regret that because I got to try so many amazing dishes. Despite ordering so many options they even brought us a chilled tofu dish complimentary (no clue why but not complaining) and it was lovely! We shared the uncle salad (amazing!), thai shrimp, eggplant buns, several different nigiri/aburi nigiri and sashimi and the toro toro and spicy tuna roll. All of the sushi was fresh and had excellent pairing of accompaniments. The only dish that I remember being a miss was the soft shell crab buns. The proportion of bun to interior was off and there was way too much mayo. Everyone got their own ramen which they seemed to love. I ordered the Veggie Khao Soi per our servers recommendation and I am still thinking about it weeks later. It was a curry/ramen mix and had big chunks of trumpet mushrooms in it and the perfect amount of spice that I love. Denverites I am jealous you have Uncle and anyone visiting make sure to add it to your list!

We also got some sushi, which was…read morepretty good considering this is a Ramen spot, a little too heavy handed on the sauces or oils, but the rice was also very delicious. 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.

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.
