I asked Mike to take me out to dinner last night and we ended up at Linger. We didn't have a reservation but the hostess got us in and we were ecstatic.
If you have read my post about Linger then you know that it is truly one of my all-time favorite restaurants. It's not exclusively veg but they have incredible vegan options on their menu, all marked as vegan so one knows exactly what they can order.
They also have incredible drinks. Since I don't drink I usually stick with water, and last night Mike ordered the Bartender's Choice which he loved.
The treat for last night was when Chef Daniel approached
our table with some kind of deliciousness which turned out to be two,
not even on the menu yet, raw, vegan appetizers. They were both
incredible and I have to say that I am still thinking about the
appetizer created in resemblance of a Chesapeake Bay Crab Cake. I still
remember how delicious it was, how creative it was, and how much I can't
wait to go back and get another one! The flavor of it was simply
incredible. (It's officially offered starting today I think)This is one of the many things I love about Linger: that they are constantly thinking of delicious new items to add to their vegan fare. In other words, they get it. They understand that having delish vegan food is a huge asset to a restaurant. It certainly works for us.
I can't finish writing about Linger without commenting on their friendly, attentive staff. You are treated as a guest, as someone important to them. You are told what is in the food you are being served and your water glass is never empty. I know from listening to many of our readers that good service is hard to find. The staff at Linger sets the standard high!
Bravo, Chef Daniel. Thank you, Linger!
Thanks for reading. We would love to know about restaurants where you live that are not exclusively veg but rock your world with vegan options.
