    We had such a beautiful time with my family celebrating my daughter’s graduation. The food is prepared fresh and the variety of it is amazing. My children ate until they nearly passed out. Definitely coming back soon.

    The food at lingela was delicious and the it was worth the price. The only thing I was unhappy about was the service, the waiter that was “assisting” in our table did not introduce herself or inform us that she will be helping us for the night which made us feel unwelcome as she continuously tended to other people and their requests. I only found out she was responsible for our table when I went to pay at the front desk.
