We had a wonderful dinner at Xiquita. Food was outstanding from start to finish. Christian was our waiter and he was also great! He was quick and accurate and very kind. We will definitely be back. Our favorite dish was the ceviche, light, balanced, and full of flavor with a little kick of heat. Thank you Xiquita y’all knocked it out of the park.

My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!
