The service, the ambience and the food were spectacular. We were a group of 6 people placed at a round table, which I absolutely love makes having group conversations way easier. Our server explained the menu to understand the difference in all the oysters. I honestly had no idea there is so much to know about oysters. The drinks were nice and the birthday dessert was delicious. We ordered a couple appetizers to share for the table. The seafood dip was my favorite followed by the grilled oysters and fried calamari. I ordered the smoked fish Cesar salad, probably the best Cesar salad I had, my friends ordered the salmon, shrimp Po boy (huge size) and the shrimp and grits. Everything was outstanding and I will definitely be back!

A family of six with two children and two teenagers thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at the Sea Level restaurant. It was right off the sixth street. It was not crowded and we were seated immediately without a reservation. The setting was clean and comfortable. We were offered ice water right away. We ordered seven season squid, shrimp and grits, blackened shrimp tacos and grilled salmon. Kids ordered grilled cheese, side salad, fried shrimps, grilled shrimps and clam chowder. The food came out in about 15 minutes. They are very fresh and beautifully presented. The tastes were wonderful without being too salty or bland. Every one finished their entire plate. We had a very pleasant experience.

Can't say enough good things about this spot. The atmosphere was very chill with great mood lighting. The service was quick and the server provided great recommendations. The sea level oysters were on happy hour discount so no complaints there. But for me the highlight has to be the calamari. So much flavor and the Hawaiian delight was amazing. Will definitely return to tackle the rest of the menu.

I really enjoyed dinner here. Waitress was A-1 thats key to a good dinner out. I had the paella which was excellent and my wife had the scallops with caviar. She thought her dish needed a little more jazz. We shared the grit cakes which we both enjoyed. Overall an excellent place! If you go during happy hour they might have a raw bar special

The Scallops and risotto was delicious as was the happy hour oysters. Dessert was super creamy and worth every bite! Wait staff was consistent at ensuring my needs were met. The only downfall was that the table for two wasn't steady, and my cocktail arrived late. I would certainly go back again.
