    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.

    Cheese board, Mediterranean burrata, Brussels sprouts

    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

    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.

    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.

    bourbonapolis cocktail

    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 good weather day you can eat inside or out as they put tables outside for more customers. They have a small sports bar if you want to watch the game but most of the seating is for lower tables. There are not a ton of tables so on busy days we recommend coming earlier than you think. Service is always on point. We have been served by repeat waiters/waitresses as well as the owner of the place many times over our visits. And if you need something you can always call over a nearby waiter. The food is also good. We recommend upgrading to the onion rings which may be the best we've ever had. We also love the dry rub wings which always come out hot and fresh. The slammin salmon and the aloha chicken are our absolute go tos and they are always delicious. You can even ask for them on Brioche or as a wrap. All in all we love this place and continue to make it a staple when we are close by and even when we aren't!

That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you.
