Grab a booth for a gorgeous view of Denver – try the BBQ duck sesame buns + braised goat tacos. In the summer, the stunning rooftop patio’s a must. For more, follow us on 4sq or at www.renhotels.com.

Reservations can be hard to nab, but once you're in, you'll be hooked. Between the dining room and the menus, the innovation is exceptional. Also has the best patio in the city. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

This is the pork belly bao buns. I love how they made the bun somewhat crispy & gooey at the same time. The pork belly is sweet and tangy. but i just wished if they made the pork more tender.

Call a couple days ahead for a reservation at a decent time. But the rooftop is a great alternative for the linger staples. Wagyu sliders and fish tacos are good fallbacks if you are indecisive.

A little bit of an overwhelming menu, but great veggie options and rooftop bar! We got the duck buns, the masala dosa, shrimp pad Thai and beet falafel lettuce wraps (last two are a must!)

Global. Street. Food. Brilliant idea and scanning the menu for ONE dish is impossible. SOLUTION: bring a posse, order 8. Don’t worry about price- just go enjoy this planet’s cuisine! Thank me later 🍲

Gorgeous rooftop with views. The food is delicious! Duck bao, chicken pastries, beet salad, lamb kabobs, and Korean taco are tasty. The staff is amazing, shots and foie gras toast on the house.

Linger is the best spot for groups or a date. It's hard to get a table in the main dining room without a reservation but I don't mind because I personally prefer the bar area upstairs!
Roberto Bruder AguiarOctober 13, 2015
What a great surprise to have Asian, American, Latin, Middle Eastern and some much options in a single spot. We loved the falafel and the Devils horseback. Excellent!

I went for lunch and I must admit that it is much better than their happy hour. I had a salmon bento box and it was absolutely delicious! Small salad, grains and salmon, and edamame and mushrooms.
Zeba SiddiqiMarch 23, 2016
Do try the Lamb kofta kabab. , Siracha duck wings & Ginger collins for cocktails! Love the decor- take the seating by the bar to enjoy the view!
Andrew CMarch 26, 2019
Delicious food + fun cocktails... but quite pricey for all of the small plate dishes!! Also, the menu was all of the place in terms of cuisine types (American, Asian, Middle Eastern, European, Indian)
JCNovember 19, 2016
This is the only thing i enjoyed eating. The chicken is cooked perfect and it compliments the rice that came with it. Delish! Simple yet the best!
Jessica FengSeptember 2, 2015
Check out the rooftop patio and vintage decor. Full menu is served in the upstairs dining room, open seating (main dining room is by list, patio has limited food menu).
Faith SpinoAugust 14, 2015
Everything at Linger was awesome! The ambiance, the food, the location... Get the falafel lettuce wraps, masala dosa, and beet salad. Actually get anything because it's all delicious. Will be back!
Ingrid HartmanSeptember 5, 2015
Great ambiance on the roof - be strategic to get a spot on busy nights by having one person order and one person scout for a table. Self serve works well. I thought the buns were by far the best thing

They have the best rooftop in Denver! We went for happy hour and our drinks were delicious. All the food is $5. Very pleased.

Try this-- 50/50 gin and Dolin white vermouth split, dashed with orange bitters and served with a flamed orange twist, which gives the depth of caramelized citrus to the first sip! Read more

Pineapple wontons dessert is good, it’s not too sweet and has a nice fruity taste and texture. I like the sesame sprinkles!
Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014
The colorful, eclectic richness of Cucci's attention to detail creates a seamless space that's at once stunning, humorous and cool. So is the menu. Read more
Janna DaileyApril 15, 2016
My husband and I loved everything we tried - Mongolian BBQ Duck Buns, Dragon Buns, Devil's on Horseback (bacon wrapped dates), and Pork Tenderloin & Pupusas.
Adnan ManjalJuly 4, 2016
Looooove this place. Good is amazing. Order the buns. And desert is fantastic, especially the coffee donuts dessert. Staff is super friendly. Ambience is great.
Luke BornheimerOctober 15, 2014
I was skeptical of the wide-ranging, multicultural tapas menu, and then Linger's kitchen and staff proved me wrong— Also, the complimentary popcorn was a tasty way to hold you over until our food came
Ashley MowreyJuly 29, 2015
Good bar food, cocktails, and nitro beers on tap. There's a rooftop space that's broken up into a get your own stuff section and a section that you can get served.
Jimmy LuFebruary 9, 2018
Beautiful place with great happy hour menu. Samosa buns and 5 spice old fashions are great
Corey GibsonAugust 9, 2013
Everything was great here. Very flavorful dishes. Try the chili-shrimp and the devil on a horseback. Great service too! Wanted to try the "magic crack", but we were stuffed

Great place for a date! Big points for choosing a romantic setting that overlooks the city. Make a reso for a fun booth or go sit at the bar upstairs. Ask bartender to fix you a Tanteo cocktail. Mmm.
Courtney DuerigApril 17, 2016
the view used to be good but there's an apartment building blocking it now. Wish you could see mountains. Mongolian duck buns made it all worth it tho! Order more than 1, they're served individually.
Stacy RileyJuly 24, 2013
Everything I've ever eaten here has been delicious... And the salmon in these spring rolls comes from the most sustainable source on Earth. Yay!
Sadie TuescherApril 17, 2019
HAROLD AND MAUDE THEMED! Vegetarian and meat options and a cool environment. Delicious sangria. Also loved the donuts for dessert, phenomenal.
M SilbersteinApril 12, 2012
A wonderful addition to the Denver food scene. Scandinavian culinary approach to modern Asian fusion. Obvious ultra fresh locavore approach. Great deck overlooking skyline. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Lenore BradfordNovember 6, 2013
Devils On Horseback were alright but very rich. The Wagyu burger sliders were dry and still very pink in the middle. Ginger Chili shrimp was excellent as was the chili paneer. Recommend reservations.
Grace BoyleMarch 11, 2012
Truly something for everyone with exotic cuisine that's even gluten free or vegan! Bar or rooftop has best view. Note there will usually be a wait. This place is popular.
Ty AndersonAugust 16, 2014
Small plates that are ideal for groups. Tried a bunch— everything was delicious, but the duck wings and the stuffed dates were the favorites!
Drink DenverOctober 11, 2012
Check out the happy hour from 4-6:30pm and enjoy some $5 wine and/or cocktails. $1 off drafts? Don't mind if we do! Check out Drink Denver for more info on this and other great bars and restaurants! Read more

All of the food and flavors are amazing. The Raw meze plate left us speechless. Beet cheesecake is to die for. Such unusual, decadent trio and all RAW!!
Kim OwensJanuary 18, 2013
The "breathtaking view" has been replaced with a view of the new condo building. But we knew that was coming. Still a great place for HH.
Kelsey Gilbert-KreilingMarch 4, 2019
This might be tough with a little one, but if you score a date night, this is a great spot with an incredible roofdeck + view
Kelly MirabellaDecember 9, 2012
Menu changes regularly but everything is delicious. If you have never been consider splitting some small plates with your date so you can try a little of everything.
Kristin OvertonOctober 24, 2015
Great Happy Hour. We enjoyed the Pad Thai, falafel lettuce wraps, and ribs. The complementary popcorn was very flavorful!
Naomi BruwerJanuary 7, 2017
Amazing food! Bursting with flavour. Decent sized portions for tapas. Great service. Trendy vibe. Highly recommended.
NicoleNovember 9, 2012
I've been here 10 min and love this place- Sustainable, interesting, worldly, funny... & spicy pop corn! Delicious coconut soup :D
Erin GreenawaldSeptember 5, 2015
The long bean salad was unreal--probably the best salad I've ever had. Fun atmosphere, too!
Katie RunyanJune 7, 2017
Good menu for shared plates. The bacon wrapped dates are quite good! Would forgoe the potstickers in favor of other menu items.
That GirlJune 4, 2017
Rooftop patio is limited menu but still awesome. Veggie and vegan options are great. Bring your out of town friends here.
JCNovember 19, 2016
Got the wagyu sliders. I forgot to tell the server that i want it cooked medium. Very hearty! but the wagyu patties is not seasoned well. i didn't taste the beef at all even when they are very thick.
ThrillistJune 12, 2013
Order up 'tails or one of 10 beers on tap at Linger's rooftop-based '75 GMC RV, a critical part of one of the city's top outdoor bars. Read more
Jacob EvansFebruary 1, 2013
A wonderful and fun place to eat. The ceviche cobia was amazing(maybe seasonal). Make reservations in advance hard to get into this place!

Sister Restaurant to Root Down. They use local food and sustainable resources. The building used to be an old mortuary, now it's a hip restaurant/bar scene with a great roof-top patio.

Are you kidding me? The trout skewers took me back to the Levant. Haven't eaten something that legit since Doha. Ridiculously good!
