    Tuna tataki
    Kathy T.

    4.5 Came here 7 years later and it's still amazing! Cute place, attentive service, fun cocktails and very delicious food. Of what we ordered, scallops and the mashed potatoes that came with lamb chops really stood out. We ordered 6 small plates and the cobbler which was definitely plenty but we ate all but some spinach leaves. 4.5 because some plates didn't hit a home run, hard rice with tuna, but overall a great time.

    Visited for the first time a week ago and would love to visit again really soon. I love the small plates concept so you can try as much on the menu without being wasteful as the portions are small. Everything we ordered was delicious especially the shrimp wraps, Brussels sprouts, house fries, and the warm chocolate chip cookies - mmm! Can't wait to return with someone who hasn't been to wow them ;) Service was great too. We had late reservations for 830pm and our server was attentive and it wasn't too busy , which was even better.

    Fried house pickles: they did a great job with these delish fried pickles!

    This was my second time at Level lounge, and I was looking forward to this visit a bit more since I had an opentable dining certificate to redeem. My happy hour dinner started nice with their Short rib flatbread and Fried house pickles, and the flatbread was on point with all of its flavors working their magic. Spicy pork belly was a-ok: liked the sauce but the pork belly slices were pretty dry. Curried crab bruschetta was also a-ok. But my dessert, flourless brownie, ruined my meal. It seems to be outsourced and was one of the hardest brownies I have had. The bartender serving me was pretty attentive and pleasant to interact with. In spite of this mediocre dining experience, I look forward to returning here on my next Annapolis visit as my first visit was rather nice.

    Mussels with baguette to soak up the Coconut Red Curry Sauce.

    Enjoyed Rum Braised Pork Shank with Grits, Mussels with Coconut red curry (spicy), and Charcuterie Combo. All were very tasty. The pork was melt-off-the-bone tender. The issues were delivered quickly, for the small table it would have been nice to be able to finish one dish before the others were delivered. Considering ordering one dish at a time to stagger the food delivery.

    Holy smokes. Best restaurant I've eaten at in a long time. I came with my daughter to celebrate my birthday, and greatly enjoyed all the food. Our server Enrique was incredibly kind and attentive the entire night. I recommend the Brussels sprouts and the brownie. The Brussels sprouts were INCREDIBLY. can't think of a single critiscm. They were PHENOMENAL. The brownie was also delightful, and we loved the orange zest. Will be returning!!

    This place is fantastic! Our family of four went before taking my daughter back to school after winter break. We ordered a series of small plates and truly enjoyed all of them. We went on a chilly January night and pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. Everything came out of the kitchen fast. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and made spot on suggestions. She made sure to let us know about portion size as she knew we planned on sharing multiple plates. For instance the lamb came 2 to a plate, so we knew to order multiple plates. Although, everything was really good a few stand outs for us were...grilled oysters, lamb chops, smoked duck confit and the crab Mac and cheese. For desert we finished the meal off with chocolate chip cookies. It came with two big cookies, cereal milk and cinnamon whipped cream. This was a pretty cool place. No doubt we'll be back.

    We visited Level tonight around 5:00 pm on one of the Midnight Madness nights in Annapolis. We thought we were going for Happy Hour, but that part was a bit confusing. We did not have a reservation but we asked to be seated at a two top table in the main room. They gave us the regular menu and the Happy Hour menu. But the server said you had to be sitting at the bar itself to order the cheeseburger sliders on the HH menu. But we could have vegan sliders at the table where we were. So we passed on sliders. We shared the beet salad, the burrata, and the tenderloin kebabs. All three plates were really good. I tried the Farmers Market drink on the cocktail menu and it was awedome--very refreshing. We shared a cheesecake for dessert. Everything was awesome, but it was all the regular pricing, no HH discount. But be sure to go--the drinks & food are amazing.

    Happy hour cheeseburger sandwich

    I had a few hours to spare, so I decided to stop by a bar that just happened to be open for happy hour. The place was quite empty, but I couldn't resist ordering an old-fashioned cocktail. I also tried the cheeseburger slider, which turned out to be really good.

    I really like this place. West street in Annapolis. We didn't have a reservation this round, but they found a table for 2 upstairs. Hostess stated the bar tender would wait in us. Uh oh. The bartender was super busy with his own tables sat at the bar along with fulfilling other servers bar orders for their tables. I expected a long wait, but between other staff helping, we ended up just fine in the service department. Wine - above par. We ordered a bottle of the Malbec. Super bold red. Food - wide and I shared multiple tapas. Favorites weee braised short rib and the scallops. Great vibe in the upstairs dining room. Nice exercise to get up there. Highly recommend

    We love this place. Every time I'm in town this is at the top of my list. The small plates allow you to sample all the different tastes without missing out. I love everything but the lamb is tops.

    Seared Scallops
    Madison P.

    Overall, it was a great date night experience with fun drinks, yummy food, and excellent service. The ambiance was cute, but for the price i was hoping for the food to be a little bit better. The drinks menu was awesome. There was great variety and they were open to making some into mocktails! The original demons drink was the best I've had in a long time. The pork belly was probably the star of the show for us and we made it during happy hour which gave us cheaper prices on that and the flatbread. Udon was great. The flatbread was okay. The scallops were yummy but a little burnt and was hoping for more of the sides for $17. The cookies were pretty dry and crumbly. Cookies are my favorite dessert, but these didn't hit the spot. Love the pride flags and more inclusive bathrooms.

    bourbonapolis cocktail
    El P.

    What a cool spot. Went on a Monday evening where there weren't too many other patrons at the time (~5:30PM) and ordered a few items before their happy hour ended. First thing I noticed is their flexibility to accommodate. They can make most of their cocktails into mocktail versions, so people feel less left out. And their cocktails are good! There's a good balance and depth to the drinks where it's clear whoever is in charge of the drink menu is somebody that takes great care in how they craft their drinks. There's infused liquor, presentation, and a few other "small" details that elevate the drinks to a different level. As far as food goes, much like the name implies, everything is tapas-style. Serving size per dish is probably for 2 people; 3 people per dish feels like it would be a stretch. Everything is delicious. I was impressed by the flavors of all the dishes, but the thing that impressed me the most was the cook on the meats. Everything was extremely tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. Definitely appreciated in a tapas-place because bites are limited, but each bite was memorable. Really enjoyed visiting and it looks like they rotate their menus on a seasonal basis, so there's new things to try throughout the year. I would definitely recommend!

    Mocktails
    Carolyn C.

    Level A Small Plates is still our favorite night cap. Dessert and mocktails are a must here. Mocktails seem to be the new trend and they have a very extensive list (priced about $1-2 more than most of the other restaurants). Review is to simply thank staff for being awesome and to post some updated yummy images.

    Is this a friendly business for LGBTQ patrons?

    You will find a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Very inviting!

    Good for vegans?

    There are 2-3 plate menu options without dairy or eggs. You could ask for vegan spin on the garden dishes, and I'd bet they'd accommodate you.

    On a busy weeknight, I wandered into Vin 909 with my partner. It's a small seeming place, on the…read moreside of a relatively quiet road, with ample parking. It's supposed to be a wine bar, I guess, and the wine is their main focus, though they are also apparently well known for their pizzas. Despite it being busy, we were seated pretty quickly in the back area, and were served quickly. Our waitress was great, and offered a lot of good drink and food suggestions. I love the way the wine is broken down. They've got three categories, which are snarky grouping by price. I am drawing a blank on the names of the categories, and they're not on the website, so .... they were something like, "Wallet Friendly Wines," "I can splurge a little," and "Money is no object to wine!" Theirs were probably better and more creative -- dock me one star as a reviewer for not remembering. :) The wines were good. I tried two different ones, including an unusual "orange" wine, which is a white wine left to contact the skins. It was a little fruitier than I usually like in a white wine, but it was good still. The food for me was where it fell down. I ordered a charcuterie plate, which was honestly kind of skimpy for the price. I also got a burrata, which is served with "harissa roasted carrots." The harissa was incredibly spice forward, and... burrata is a delicious, but delicate cheese. The carrots and harissa basically contaminated it and overpowered it. They might as well have dipped it in coriander and cumin. That's fine if you want to eat coriander and cumin, but not if you want burrata. My pizza was the biggest let down. It's a "rustic" style pizza, but it frankly translates to "poorly made." It's a good size, roughly oval pizza, with very thin, crispy crust. Like a giant cracker. It's then cut into 16 pieces (give or take, don't quote me). Some of those pieces had /nothing/ on them. Like, just crust. No cheese. No sauce. No toppings. Others had just sauce. I'm not a big fan of pizza, but when I eat it, I expect every piece to have sauce, cheese, and toppings on it... if I wanted to eat just crust, I'd just ask for a pile of aperitif crackers. Great atmosphere, good drinks, fair price, but ... terrible food. If I lived nearby, I'd stop by for a drink now and again, but I wouldn't eat there.

They have a lovely outdoor patio space that was covered with space heaters for the winter, and I can only imagine how great it will be in the summer. The service was great throughout. I wanted to make sure I got a wine that paired well with our meal so the server recommended I order the wine after the food so she could give me a recommendation. We ordered a charcuterie board, glazed carrots with burrata, and the spotted pig pizza. The server recommended a Sangiovese to pair, and it was an excellent choice. It tasted really good with everything. The charcuterie board was good but honestly a little skimpy on the bread and apples so not every bite was evenly distributed. I enjoyed the burrata - it was a really interesting mix of Italian and Indian/Middle Eastern flavors that was unique and different. The pizza was also good but like the charcuterie board, the toppings were not evenly distributed so there were some bites with everything, and some bites that only had sauce or cheese. It is thin crust so if you do not like thin crust, you may not be a fan. I am a thin crust fan, so I enjoyed it overall!

It took a while for our server to greet us even though he appeared to only take orders, deliver drinks, and deliver the check while food delivery were handled by a dedicated food runner. Our starter, the crab avocado stack was beautifully plated. The sweet remoulade overpowered the naturally sweet blue crab and the crispy wontons were tasty but were very oily. The beet salad had an excessive amount of raw white onions on top, but the mixed greens and beets tasted fresh. The middle of the flatbread was undercooked which was more soggy than crisp with what tasted like an unseasoned can red sauce. The Mahi Mahi Rachel was unique spin on a standard Rachel sandwich. The blackened Mahi was just okay and oddly enough, the mouth feel of the Mahi was indiscernible from the slaw. I was a bit taken back that the slaw on the Mahi Mahi Rachel contained golden raisins and what looked like cranberries - neither of which were called out on the menu. The tomato and cucumber salad side lacked seasoning despite what appeared to be flakes of "Italian seasoning".

We consulted you, the Yelp Community, for recommendations. You did not disappoint! The restaurant is in a complex with a hotel and other shops in the heart of the town. We parked in a nearby garage (easy) and walked over. We didn't have a reservation, but, fortunately we were able to get a table for 2. Yay! The atmosphere is warm with a sophisticated feel. We were greeted promptly, got drinks and they took our order. First up was a simple, traditional tomato and onion salad, no lettuce, with an oil and herb dressing. This was the only soft note in the meal, mostly because this type of salad needs a tomato with lots of flavor, particularly an acid note to balance the oil. These tomatoes weren't up to that task. It was still very good, just on the bland side, and getting good flavorful tomatoes late in the season can be challenging. Entrees! I got the Pappardelle with Bolognese gravy. Anyone who has read my reviews for a time knows I have a problem with tomato gravy with beef being sold as "bolognese". Pure joy when nicely cooked Al dente noodles showed up smothered in a legit creamy bolognese. Y'all, it was really good. Lys had never experienced Smith Island Cake. Shocking, I know. So we of course got a slice to split after dinner, despite being pretty stuffed. The cake didn't disappoint. It was fudgy (almost like a thick ganache) and moist but not mushy or falling apart. Lys now understands why this is the unofficial dessert of Maryland. Sooooo good. Awesome place. Highly recommend.
