An exquisite menu offering a unique dining experience curated by acclaimed, Michelin Star and James Beard Award recipient, Chef Michael White. Inspired by the Mediterranean, the menu is packed with creativity and flavor - Chef's story and vision speaks for itself. *The food - so much flavor, attention to detail and creativity in every plate. Every item is made to order, every dish comes out like a piece of artwork. *The service - absolutely phenomenal and everything you'd expect it to be. Friendly, knowledgeable and so top notch professional. This restaurant has been on our bucket list since we started planning this trip and it lives up to the hype. It's worth every penny... (lots of pennies) but food this phenomenal doesn't get a price tag when it's a bucket list - so bring your wallet because dinner for two will be over $400 when you're foodies like us. We were truly in awe of the dinner, the service and the atmosphere. It was the PERFECT date night.
This place refuses children in shorts when it's 99 degrees out. We flew across the country to go here while on vacation and they refused us. There's a manager name Oscar who is pretentious AF. Don't go here, they don't care about people. Easily would have dropped $1000 but they didn't care. What if I put my kid in a dress? Sexist rude and disappointing. Don't go I promise you
We went to Levant to celebrate my father-in-law's 80th birthday. The food and service were impeccable. There was a birthday card waiting for my father-in-law upon our entry. We asked for the Chef to sign the card and they were more than willing to ask Chef White to sign the card and then even said they would see if he could come by later to wish our father-in-law a happy birthday in person! Guess what? The chef did come by and wished our FIL a happy birthday. Truly nice, friendly, personable staff. We had the mezze for the table and oysters for appetizers. We had the rack of ramb, the swordfish, the harissa chicken. We had the levant budino. Drinks were smooth and delicious, as well. They do give you a small bite for appetizer and a bite size dessert on the house! The ambiance of the entire restaurant felt like you were in a beautiful clam shell overlooking the ocean. A must try!
Located inside the La concha hotel this was a culinary experience for sure. Very attentive and friendly staff,the food leans towards Mediterranean flavors. Fritto misto with shrimp,calamari and zucchini with lemon aioli was fried perfectly. Branzino for two was delicious with some of the best Brussel sprouts I've ever eaten and white corn polenta was on point. Trio of gelato's for dessert ended the perfect evening. And you eat all this in a beautiful setting under a conch shell!!
I'm torn about my experience at Levant. It's a beautiful restaurant with great attention to detail. It was the perfect aesthetic for my 30th birthday dinner. However, it lacked in several areas. Service was extremely slow and seemed to be that way for everyone. It also took over an hour to receive our entrees and there was no apology. People around us also were at their tables for hours. Also it seems like they only enforce dress code for certain people, which is unfair. If you're good to have a strict dress code it should be the same for everyone. For the most part the food was really good. We started with the mezzo for the table and chose hummus, tzatziki, and tirokafteri. The tirokafteri was delicious! The whole table enjoyed it. However, the pita it came with was a little tough. We also ordered the fritto misto, which was perfectly cooked. The shrimp and calamari were tender. For my entree I ordered the lobster risotto, which was okay. I would have appreciated some Parmesan or something to elevate it. Although I enjoyed most of the food, I would not return to Levant.
We went here tonight for the second night in a row. My husband just turned 50 and I put that in the notes to put the reservation. This restaurant is inside the La Concha hotel. You must make reservations and they have a pretty strict dress code so just make sure you please look that up before you go. If you're at the hotel and you didn't make reservations, no need to worry because they do have a bar in there that you do not need reservations for and you could order food from the bar area. We went here last night and we got the Bronzino for two and I came with two sides. We picked carrots and polenta probably the best carrots I've ever had in my entire life, and the polenta was delicious as well. I never had a whole Bronzino, so it was a bit nervous and excited at the same time, but there has served with no bones and no head. It was seasoned perfectly and delicious. Yesterday when we were replacing our dinner order, we were informed that we needed to order our desserts at the same time that we ordered our dinner because each is prepared separately by the chef and they needed time to do it. We opted for no dessert, but when they brought our check, they brought two little small cookie type items, two small, gummy's and a little disc of chocolate complementary Today we went and we got perfect seats and all three of the tables that were up against this window had a happy birthday index card type of a sign on the table. Tonight we ordered the cod, my husband ordered the swordfish and then we opted to get the fusilini with octopus pasta. The cod was good. It was over a bean type of a paste and it was a little boring the prosciutto they put on top along with the Swiss shard gave it a little bit more flavor. My husband's swordfish came with clams and mussels and potatoes that were small and perfectly round. The muscles in the clams were small as well, but his dish was delicious. The fusilini pasta with bone marrow and octopus was by far the star of the show. It was amazing with flavors and delicious. When you order one of the meals that are for two people which is a Bronzino and a steak those come with two sides however, if you order anything else off the menu, it does not include any sides and there should be an additional cost Because we each have a dish plus we shared the pasta. We had no room for any dessert after and no room for after dinner drinks as well. I'm not sure why we were not giving any complementary desserts like we were last night, especially since they knew it was my husband's birthday There appears to be a consistency issue. Tonight we were not asked to order dessert at the same time we ordered our meal like we were yesterday, but also yesterday we were given a complementary, very small, but it was still just a little something sweet for your palette that we did not get tonight Also, as we were leaving tonight, we saw a mother and a daughter who we've spoken with and hung out with a few times at the resort and she had told them to please bring us a drink and the waitress confuse us with another couple and we never did get that
Incredible views and definitely one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to. Their service is really good, but their menu prices are insane. However, I'm a proponent of paying more for the vibes and the experience, so it's not a factor in my review. I thought food and drinks were really solid, and service was great despite how large my group was. Such great vibes, and I had the best birthday dinner!
celebrated our anniversary here, and the hospitality we received from check in up until we left was amazing! our waitress was so attentive and friendly! Our dishes we went with were flavorful and some of the best food we had while in PR. The place was not too crowded, not too nosey very ideal for a date night. i would highly recommend it's a must see in person sort of vibe!
We celebrated our engagement dinner at Levant and it truly blew away our expectations. Not only was the restaurant itself beautiful, but the service was amazing as well. We got greeted by the hostess who acknowledged we were there celebrating a special occasion and was super sweet with her kind words. We got seated and our servers Angel and Carla were very attentive and knowledgeable of menu choices. We also had a card congratulating us at our table upon being seated. We started the night off with the mezze for the table, which is the option of choosing three dipping spreads that are served with warm sourdough pita bread. Highly recommend this option as all three choices we chose were absolutely delicious. I had the lobster risotto as my entree that had fresh lobster from Maine. My fiancé had the beef ravioli. Both dishes were packed with so much flavor and spices! Angel then brought us out complimentary champagne as a special thank you for choosing them to celebrate a special occasion. All in all a very memorable dinner that I will always remember and mean so much to me. Thank you Levant for letting us end a very memorable trip on a very high note!

Giving 5 starts just for the ambiance and our waiter/waitress were kind. The food was good but I've better at that price point. Ordered the caviar pasta which was just butter and noodles, soft shell crab was nothing new you couldn't find elsewhere. Might have been the manager, bald older guy, wouldn't let us change our table to an empty table with a better view. Put a wine bottle on the table and said it was reserved after we requested it, no one showed up. Go, take your pic with your expensive meal in a shell. read more

We were in Puerto Rico for my friends birthday and we saw this restaurant on tik tok so we wanted to try it.. keep in mind we're coming from Las Vegas. The drinks were $26 each, which is EXTREMELY overpriced for what it is. The drinks on the Las Vegas strip are $20-21.. we did a family style dinner with everyone at the table. The chef did send out some complimentary spinach cracker featured in one of the pictures. For appetizers we ordered calamari & pita bread that comes with 3 sauces which is hummus, taziki & a cucumber honey one. They were good. For dinner we ordered the 26oz steak (6/10) I believe, patatas bravas (4/10) carrots (7/10) and a pasta (4/10) I forgot what it was called. They offered us deserts and I told the server that we were there for my birthday and if they had a mini birthday desert and he basically said no if we don't purchase one. Which again, is pretty insane coming from fine dining restaurants in Las Vegas that do a little complimentary desert & we paid over $500 for dinner. Their system also went down when we asked for the check And he said we could pay cash if we wanted to leave so we sat there for an hour after dinner was over waiting for our bill. The aesthetic of this restaurant is beautiful, but it's not worth the price or food. read more

I would only recommend going for drinks and something small to eat. The environment is beautiful and I would recommend going during the day or sunset so that you can enjoy the views. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. read more

We made a reservation about a month before our trip and chose a time right before sunset--such a great decision! The view was absolutely amazing. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. The food was incredible--flavorful and beautifully presented. The cocktails were a little on the pricier side, but that was expected for the setting, and they were crafted really well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back with our friends on our next trip to Puerto Rico. Highly recommend! read more
I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. Words cannot describe how amazing the view is. I recommend going just before Sunset. We had a 5:15pm reservation which was on November 20. I don't think we could've picked a more perfect time. I know it's a little early to eat, but trust me, the view as the sun sets is just spectacular. I don't think we could have timed it anymore perfectly. It also was not busy and gave us the perfect time to get photos before a bunch of people were there. We went on a Thursday evening and by the time we were finished around 7:15 the restaurant was full. So definitely make a reservation in advance. The servers were amazing. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable and very attentive. Service was quick and all of the food was spectacular. I know I keep saying spectacular. But I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. The price tag is worth it. The fritto misto was a perfect appetizer to split. Salty and crispy. We also split the Fatteh to start. For entrées, we split the lobster risotto and the Cappellacci di Zucca. My friend was a fan of the lobster risotto, but I was in favor of the latter. I just love a fall flavored pasta. Throw some squash and sage in there? You got me!!! For dessert I had the Galaktoboureko. Don't ask me how to pronounce that lol but it was just as amazing as anything else. Made with some cardamom and honey? I was feeling all of the fall vibes (despite not being in fall weather) lol. It was so unique and so delicious. It also has gold flakes on it. I kid you not. I'm still dreaming about this meal. I wish I wasn't all the way back home in the snow and I could sit down and eat dinner overlooking the ocean at this beautiful restaurant once again. One day hopefully read more

Came here without any expectations and left 'mind blown' in the best possible way. Located inside the iconic Perla, a signature seashell-shaped floating venue in La Concha hotel, chef Michael White creates a distinctive dinning experience like no other. He brings a unique menu, infusing Mediterranean with Italian cuisine transcending flavors and boundaries. The service was on another level. The attention to detail, the suggestions on drinks, the deep knowledge of the menu left us amazed. The culinary journey was exceptional! We basically ordered one dish from each section of the menu: RAW: Snapper, the only dish we didn't love. The server asked for our feedback about the dish so we told him and out of nowhere he came back with the Bluefin Tuna crudo that was outstanding. We think it was a very thoughtful gesture. APPETIZER: Fatteh, the surprise of the night! I don't even like eggplant but that salad was INCREDIBLE!! MUST order. PASTA: Truffle Gemelli, it was a special dish outside the menu. Possibly one of the best pasta dishes I've ever eaten in my life, no exaggeration. The butter used in the dish was imported from the chefs home state. The creamiest butter, I almost lick the plate haha.. MAINS: Branzino, delightful! Very elegant dish well presented. SIDES: Roasted Carrots and Patatas Bravas, which my husband loved. Crispy outside with a hint of spice. DESSERT: Levant Budino, perfect sweet ending! Decadent. If you like tiramisu, you'll love it! This restaurant is perfect for a romantic date, so if you are in Puerto Rico looking to impress your significant other, this is your place! We will definitely come back to try other chef 's signature dishes that we didn't had a chance. read more

Omgggg this is the most fanciest yet vibey place I've been to. Right on the beach as well. We had to waiters and they were very attentive. Do make a reservation.. They are hard to get a hold of on the phone because you have to go through the hotel to get to them. This is located in a hotel by chef Michael white I've made a video about the whole place on my tik tok. This is a Mediterranean style restaurant. They do change the menu constantly. Very upscale, the risotto was to die for the lobster pieces were thick and juicy, and they did not skim down on it The potatoes were of course amazing they were roasted, and you could just taste the garlic and the crunch. We had about three desserts. I'm not sure which ones we got. One was a free birthday one. But they had six or seven options for desserts. I would definitely recommend this place when you come to Puerto Rico. They are strict on the dress code so dress appropriately. And they don't do flash photography. read more

This place deserves a Michelin star, it was that good. The staff was on their A-game with wine, food, and service. I have been to Michelin restaurants and I felt this exceeded expectations. On top of this, you are in a CONCH! Coolest restaurant idea in terms of ambiance, and I had been waiting for this to open for 4 years having stayed at La Concha before. Definitely will be back. Lastly, I want to give Annette, Juan and Sachary a kudos for expectional service on our anniversary. On top of their service, they were friendly, we had great conversations, while also realizing the professionality in the restaurant and their clients. I give them a 10/10!! read more
I decided to make reservations on the recommendation of my good friend who lives in the island. He told me about the Michelin status. This restaurant is known for this was my first time at a Michelin styled establishment. Let's just say the ambience, decor and service was impeccable very strict on their attire policy. They sent me on the table. I asked for, and the menu was explained to me from top to bottom. I have to say it didn't feel like a posh kind of restaurant. It was sort of laid-back which i loved.. The portions weren't that big which was expected the side dishes were full of flavor, but didn't leave a lot to the imagination I wasn't crazy about the mushrooms although the carrots were delicious the harissa chicken was moist and delicious.. the prawns that I ordered were huge and a little under, but delicious overall. you're welcome. read more

Levant was a delight from start to finish! Anyone rating this place lower than a 4 has lost their mind. This is fine dining with finesse and very attentive details. As someone who lived in NYC and San Francisco, this restaurant is right up there with a Michelin star restaurant. From the cocktails to the last bite, it was amazing. The branzino and swordfish were the favorites of the table and we would all go again! The service was excellent and the view was unbelievable at sunset! read more

I was visiting PR and I knew I wanted a nice place for dinner and came across Levant. The restaurant itself is beautiful. They immediately saw it was my birthday from the reservation and wished me a happy birthday. I did think she could have provided us a better table. We tried to order a couple different wines that the hostess stated they were out of. I also heard someone else with the same complaint. I thought with this being fine dining if they were out of something guests should be informed in advance. The food was a hit or miss. I had the chicken which was cooked to perfection but to salty as in drink lots of water. Someone else had the pasta and clams and then another pasta dish they stated their dishes were just ok. They did provide me with a little birthday treat. The hostess did say the recently opened. The dishes were reasonably priced but I did feel the cocktail list it was way overpriced. You're pretty much just paying for the ambience. read more
