    This restaurant offers small plates to share along with Paella, their specialties. The seasonings and variations on the small plates are inspiring and delicious. It would be a fun date place and a fun place to celebrate anything. The views are spectacular. Service was excellent. The timing of the meal was relaxed and very enjoyable.

    Beautiful old style restaurant in our hotel. Food was very good. My wife’s trout was delicious. I had the duck and it was tasty, but a bit tough. Service was good, but it took a while to get our bill taken care of, the staff were very busy.

    We had an amazing time at Linger for a Father’s Day gathering with family. The food was amazing and came out very quickly. Great vegan options for my husband. Our server was fantastic and you can’t beat the atmosphere, especially in the summer.
