    I have had dinner with friends at Levant five times since April, and have enjoyed every meal. What a great place to spend a relaxed meal with family and friends. I love the way the staff treats its customers. They were available immediately if we needed something; otherwise they let us alone to enjoy our company while enjoying their food. We have always felt welcome to stay as long as we wanted (never rushed), and the noise level is quite low, so we been able to relax after dinner while finishing a bottle of wine or having coffee. I love the inexpensive Petites Bouchees, especially the cheesy cauliflower gratin, which we have with our favorite wine on their list, a St. Emilion. The beef bourguignon is great, especially with the little crispy garlic chips. If I had one quibble, it is that the chicken cordon bleu was a little dry the one time I ordered it. The sea bass, sole, scallops and shrimp are always good and very fresh. Basically, this place is a gem. I recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing evening with friends eating great food in a welcoming environment.

    The food is good and fairly priced, but they were poorly staffed for the volume of guests that evening. Our initial waiter disappeared for most of the meal (after forgetting to put in our wine order), and then it took forever to get the check. Our other time at the restaurant they were empty and things moved just fine. The issue is that the staff aren’t exactly hospitality-focused (the main waiter arrived and just stared at us as if to prompt us to order, without even a hello. So bizarre), so no one expressed a moment of apology for all of the delays, and that is what frustrated me.

    This is a wonderful restaurant for brunch and dinner. We ate brunch today with two friends and our food was great. I had the Croque Madame probably the best I have ever had. It was served with broiled brussel sprouts. My husband had the French omelette and our friends had the breakfast burger and the organic chicken sandwich. We had a pitcher of Belinis and deserts of strawberry cheese cake and creme brule.t

    Great meal! Levant is a simple place; almost a diner vibe. We had brunch there a few weeks ago and found it a bit basic but worth another try. Dinner last night was a wonderful surprise! Traditional French dishes served to perfection. Service was friendly and attentive to our party of eight. Prices were in range with post Covid norms. Wine list was ample. I can’t speak for our friends but the two locals in the group will be back for dinner again soon!
