Service was great and the food was awesome - I have celiac disease, and our waitress was so good at making sure everything I ordered was safe! The kids meal came in a cute boat tray and the ice cream sundae was huge!

Although most would say it's a seafood- only restaurant,out of our party of 5: one had chicken quesadilla, one had fried oysters, one had steak tips, one had Mahi Mahi tacos, and one had roasted haddock. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

Hi William, So happy to hear this! Yes, while fresh, sustainable seafood is our shining star, our Chefs love to create non-seafood dishes and incorporate seasonal ingredients into them. Hope to see you back soon! Toby Jacobson General Manager

We expected a great view from the back patio of the Merrimack River, but were delighted to find the quality of both food and service to match the view. Shoutout to our amazing server Gary who was amusing, attentive, and well informed. We were a party of six and everyone really enjoyed our lunch.

Everything about dinner at Sea Level was terrific. Service was efficient but not pushy. Food came out in a timely fashion and was absolutely delicious. I had the oyster tacos and they were amazing: oysters crisp on the outside and soft inside and the taco was filled with shedded cabbage and fennel with a somewhat spicy aioli sauce. My friends had the pear and agnolotti dish and the striper special. Both said the dishes were perfection and very memorable. We shared the crispy brussel spouts and they were sweet, crispy and we wanted more. Couldn't ask for a better dinner experience. Will be back.

Terrible seat near the kitchen and service bar. Out of two items we ordered from the specials menu which was very disappointing. Service was just fair.

Overall, the meal was delicious. However, we ordered oysters and they came out at the same time as our meal, which was disappointing, because it should’ve been an appetizer.
