My family & I had a marvelous brunch at Linger before our matinee of A Christmas Carol. The food was excellent. Eating gluten free and dairy free can limit our choices; it was wonderful to have a range of tasty choices. We tried the cashew queso & chips (everyone enjoyed). I had the lobster rolls, which had large chunks of lobster with crunchy vegetables. My husband had the make-your-own breakfast plate which he thoroughly enjoyed. My son had the chicken & waffles (not GF); and he too was very satisfied. Service was great; thank you, Xander! We will be back.

We had lunch with a part of our work team and former work team member. We had a chance to catch up and it was quiet enough to hear us talk. Our server, Maya, was excellent, friendly, professional and attentive. Great spot for lunch! Thanks and I'll be returning.

We had the best experience! This restaurant is so much fun and a great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and unique tasty food. We had a large group for a birthday party and they were so accommodating. We got our drinks and apps quickly and all the food was amazing. The ambience has a tropical club vibe without it being loud tacky. Great place for a group to have a good time! Be aware, parking is VERY difficult to find!
