Wow I really loved this experience. You walk right in & hear beautiful live music. In the few hours I spent here, we got to experience live singing, piano, guitar, & saxophone. It was magical. I was worried it would be too loud so I wouldn't be able to hear my friends, but not at all! The vibes inside are immaculate dark but cozy. I feel like my sexy book boyfriend would definitely take me here. The staff were fabulous, friendly, helpful, attentive but didn't interrupt the flow of the evening conversation at all. Okay now the food!!! so so so so good. Cabbage Rolls: Perfect Combo of Moist but Crunchy Cigar Rolls: Crunchy, Cheesy, Delightful Three Mezze: Bury me with that bread & give me all the dips Salmon Kabab: NO NOTES, DELICIOUS Adana Kabab: Just Juicy Enough, Seasoned to Perfection Pistachio Kabab: Also good, does have a kick of spice in the after taste Chocolate Baklava: I'll take 12 more please Cheesecake: Wasn't for me. I prefer my cheesecake more solidified & not savory. read more

We dined on Saturday 2.7.26 to celebrate my niece's engagement. We hoped it would be a great experience but it only deserved a "good" review. The restaurant has 2 levels, there was a large group upstairs celebrating, good for them but they appropriated most of the servers so we were left with only one to take care of all tables on the main floor. He took a long time to come by our table and also take our drink order. The drinks were good so we patiently waited for this server to take our app order. The food was delicious so we let the lack of service pass. After our meal we waited some more to order dessert. Unfortunately when the server finally came by we asked and he said oh the kitchen is closed. We were confused and very disappointed. The least he could've done was advise us of the kitchen closing so we would have time to order dessert. That was a really bad move and we were left dumbfounded. Our bill included a 20% service charge and again I was insulted as I would not have tipped him that much. Food = great Drinks = great Service = lacking read more

Definitely great food fun atmosphere and loud music. The service Was backup and took a long time but over all the food was so good I would come back here over Again. So much flavor and spices on the lamb and the appetizers with the pita bread was worth it! Must try place! read more

This is such a great spot to go to and order a bunch of different appetizers to share. We loved their hummus and got a few other items too. There wasn't anything we tried there and didn't like. The drinks were amazing too, they have a mixologist who made great mocktails and cocktails! Honestly it's hard finding a spot that makes enjoyable mocktails because most of the time it's just sugar overload but I really enjoyed the ones he made for me. read more

Two Sundays ago hubby and I tried out this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised! The service, food and ambiance -- with Bossa Nova covers playing in the background -- was just the vibe we needed for a Sunday afternoon :) It was a perfect setting and timing, as we got to choose from the once a year "Taste the Gables" 3-course menu! Definitely give it a try! read more

This restaurant is located where "Swine" used to be, for those who may recall it. It's 2-stories, with no elevator. A nicely decorated entry at its main level with bar and some tables make the place feel inviting and fun for quick bites and drinks. The second floor has a private events room, which on the day of our visit was being used, it looked like fun but way too many guests for the room size therefore some were hanging out just outside, which is where the dining tables are located, it didn't bother us, but some diners might mind the crowd and noise level as the music from the event room competes with the restaurant music playing. Service and food were very good, our waitress was very friendly and made great suggestions. Salmon skewers and lamb shops were our favorite as well as the appetizers, definitely try this Mediterranean restaurant for a cozy, unique vibe. read more

Levant is beautifully decorated! This was my first time here and the food didn't disappoint. I will say drinks came out all separately and one of our drinks actually took way too long to come. The food was very delicious and tasty. I went with a group of 6 and ordered mostly all apps. My favorite was the SAGANAKI CHEESE, LAHMAJOUN and the Pita all delicious! I had the chicken skewer and it was cooked perfect and juicy. There was a private party on top floor so the music got very loud but overall I would recommend coming ! read more

Levant in Coral Gables is the real deal. In a city full of "Mediterranean" spots that water down or outright steal an entire culture, this beautiful restaurant on Ponce stands out with authentic Arabic food you can taste. Owned by an Iraqi brother and sister, every bite reflects deep roots and a shared love for the rich, diverse flavors of the Levant. My boyfriend and I popped in for a quick lunch, and from the food to the cocktails, everything was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

This review is for a birthday celebration on the second floor and not the restaurant itself. The hummus and pita bread were out of this world. The chicken wraps were a nice surprise filled with french fries, but the highlight of the night was the DJ - playing classics and many throwbacks; did a great job reading his crowd. The drinks were a hit or miss. read more

Visited midweek for a Time left dinner, the location is perfect right on Miracle Mile. Lots of street parking option nearby. It wasn't too busy on a Wed night. Service was great and attentive. The server was able to split our checks easily. Food came out quickly and tasted very good. It was a bit on the expensive side but I guess that's just the neighborhood it's in. They have a full upstairs area that turns into a speakeasy on the weekends. Beautiful decor. read more

Everything was amazing! Service was great, good atmosphere and food was delicious. We started with the cabbage rolls and the grape leaves both are very very good! The trio dip is amazing especially the red dip. The Kibbeh is a must get and the bread too! The veggies and lamb in the pot is delicious and super filling. Rice comes on the side and it comes with bread too. The flavors were amazing. Both lamb kabobs were great I prefer the pistachio one because the other was a little spicy. Will be coming back soon. Miami needs more spots like this. read more

This place was a dope experience. The decor & ambiance was very unique, artistic, & vibely. The food was amazing. They serve FRESH baked bread (I raved about this for weeks) & food. I got some chocolate baklava to go & was again taken aback by how amazing the flavor palette was. Everythiiiiing was flavorful and tasty. It's a cool place to take your friends & family to chill, admire, & dine. The Iraqi cuisine far exceeded my expectations from the food to the mocktails. read more

A hidden jewel in the heart of Coral Gables We end up here because the original plan fail due to long waiting time. Best thing could happen to us. Amazing place. Delicious food. Great service. Cici treated us like family. And can't recommend one dish. Everything we tried was amazing. I love Arabic food. But you can rarely find a place they make it right. You must try this. I'll be back with the whole family. read more

Levant decor screams out elegance. This restaurant was the perfect place to take my friend who was visiting Florida. The host greeted us right away, looked into our reservation and took us to our table right away. We of course started with an expresso martini which was made to perfection. Then ordered some appetizer which were all delicious and so tasty. read more

This is a cool spot for halal Mediterranean "fancy" dinner. However, the high prices don't reflect the quality/taste of the food or the service. We enjoyed the hummus and bread quite a bit - the bread was fresh and fully inflated, which is fun. The rest of the meal was alright/average. We got a traditional Labanese dish and a regular American burger, and overall it's not a place we'd visit again but not bad to try out! read more

The restaurant was recommended so booked it on Xmas for lunch. It was lovely with a gorgeous mural as it was entertaining to try to guess all the artists and famous figures on it from Kobe to MJ. I've seen similar murals at Delilah so could be the same artist who painted it? We ordered one of the lunch specials for $35 where you get to select a mezze and we picked babaganoush eggplant dip which came with their house baked pita and we picked the salmon kebab bowl which is on top of of a bed of rice and a small side salad with some garlic yogurt and their house sauce, and chocolate baklava for dessert. The salmon was good, but lacked a bit of seasoning as it tasted healthy but bland. The chocolate baklava made up for the salmon which was underwhelming. We also ordered a hummus a la carte and the pistachio lamb kebab which was over lavash bread. That was delicious and different w/ crushed pistachios, this was the dish that my friend recommended. Also ordered the Turkish coffee which had a great presentation and prob may have given them 5 stars but was disappointed that we were overcharged for the Turkish coffee at $8 even though it was $5 on the menu. It was too strong and had to ask for a spoon to mix it as the coffee remained on the bottom of the cup so asked for a spoon of milk which I guess they decided to add a $3 up charge for but was not informed of this especially as they also auto added 20% tip which has become a very common thing in Miami. It was Xmas, so I added a tad bit extra of tip so it's not about the nominal amount added but rather the principle of being charged more than what's indicated on the menu yet not being told why ahead of time. They have happy hour from 12-6pm for the mezzes which are $5 but did not see their happy hour cocktail menu so perhaps to try for another time if I make it back as the food and the restaurant were amazing. read more

Levant offers a dining experience that goes beyond traditional Lebanese cuisine. The food is absolutely delicious, and the signature cocktails are thoughtfully crafted and perfectly balanced. What truly sets Levant apart is the attention to presentation--the interior is stunning, and each dish is served with a level of artistry that elevates the meal. Unlike more traditional Lebanese restaurants, here you'll find beautiful plating that turns every course into a visual delight. A perfect spot for both the taste buds and the eyes. read more

I'd been eager to try Levant since they opened about eight to ten months ago, but barely ever visit the Gables. I was so excited about it in fact that I sent my sister and brother-in-law there during Miami Spice (they loved it). I finally had the chance to visit a few weeks ago on a Thursday night later in the evening after a networking event. We didn't have a reservation and I was concerned they wouldn't be able to seat our party of four, but luckily, there was one table available. Unlike at many Miami restaurants, the staff greeted us warmly when we walked in, which was a very nice touch. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated but feels cozy and not stuffy or pretentious. To start, I had the Midnight Kiss mocktail. It was a little on the sweeter side, but still good. For our appetizer, we shared the Trio Mezzo which consists of Hummus, Muhammara and Cretan Feta. It was delicious! When it came time to order out entrees, I had the Pistachio Kabab, and the other ladies ordered the burger, and the Pumpkin Dolma. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. Although we hadn't intended to order dessert, the staff graciously sent the Chef's Choice over, on the house. Overall, the experience at Levant was perfect and I would undoubtedly return! read more

The food was delicious, and reasonably priced during their lunch special. The pita was baked fresh; lamb came with rice, salad and sauces all which were superb; mocktail was also very good; hummus was perfect and generous; muhamarah was smaller but tasty; dessert was chefs special and had a nice cardamom flavor mixed into the pistachio. Service was also good and it's a nicely modernity decorated space, though one can't help but remember Swine when it was previously there (RIP). read more

Wow where do I start. I should have known when I walked in and the restaurant was empty on a Friday night. Food was less than mediocre. Server was very kind and brought a complimentary dessert.

Good, relatively new (few months), upscale Lebanese restaurant in Coral Gables. Nice, upscale ambiance with a modern twist on Lebanese cuisine. I came for lunch and opted to order off of the regular menu. Went with Adana Kabab bowl which featured lamb (bit of a spice to it), rice, onions and mixed greens. Decent size and very flavorful. Enjoyed my meal with an Arnold Palmer iced tea. Will come back again. read more

Street parking and valet across the street. Garage nearby too. I got there a bit early for my reservation and was welcomed by a friendly bar tender. Inside ambiance is nice. A live music group was setting up on a Friday. They were pretty good and it got louder as the night progressed Mocktails were creative, refreshing. Ordering went smooth; however, the food did take some time to come out. We were warned one of the dishes may take a while, but even as we suggested to bring out items as they were ready, the entire order was lagged. While the bar tender, host, and managers were all friendly (waitress too), perhaps our waitress was a little over capacity. Had to chase her down for water refills, food, drink orders and then someone else for the bill. Tbh we would have gotten dessert, but the neglect and time accelerated our exit. The food is exceptional and fresh. My favorite was the pistachio crusted lamb kebob. Perfection. I'd return for this! The spicy carrot side was nice as well as the clay pot lamb. On the latter, it was beautifully flavored; yet, for the price, perhaps underwhelming in terms of protein content. The rice was well made as the accompanying garnishes. Nice plating. Overall, a return and recommend. Our particular service this time was a miss, but this could have been due to an off or understaffed evening. Hopefully something for management to keep and eye on and ensure moving smoothly in the future. read more

First delicious meal ! Menu is limited but everything we ordered had great flavor. Only disappointment was extremely slow service. Had to ask for water three times, finally received from the runner.

Levant was a nice place ... Great ambiance and service. The music is fun and inviting as well as all the people who work there. We didn't have reservations as the app said it was busy until 9 or so... we decided to risk it and just do a walk-in. It turns out there were tables available and quite a few. We were seated upstairs, and it was their first time opening the second floor. Food and service were still attentive, and always someone available for anything you needed or wanted. The food itself is a bit different than regular Mediterranean. They would like to be known more for their Iraqi roots and style of cooking, which I have to say it was very flavourful. Levant salad was fresh, and the feta cheese was light and not over salty. Kibbes, for example, are a bit different from what we see here from other Arabic restaurants. It is a bit more moist and also a bit different in flavor profile. Salmon kebab was also good ... cooked nicely and served over a pita bread. (similar to pita). Cocktail drinks are really good and presented in a fun, elegant way. Sally, the restaurant owner, was super friendly and helpful in explaining the menu as well as recommendations. Overall, it's a good choice for when you are in the mood for Arabic food. read more

If you follow me, you know I am a huge fan of Middle Eastern food, and I had to check out Levant, a new restaurant in Coral Gables. The restaurant is located just off the Miracle Mile, where Swine used to be. It's beautifully decorated, and the service is attentive and hospitable. The food tasted amazing, and the owner Mo shared that all of the ingredients are locally sourced (except Salmon). My favorites were hummus (perfect consistency and spice), baked pita bread and the baklava (to die for and I am not even a dessert person). The pita sandwiches were ok. I found the pita bread to be too thick, too oily for my taste and heavy on the stomach for our hot summers. Overall, it's a great addition to Coral Gables - check out my pics and stop by for the authentic Middle Eastern food. read more

After a tiring search for a location to host my sister's baby shower, I came across Levant, and am so glad I did! We had such an amazing experience. Moe, the event planner, was super communicative and willing to make whatever we needed work. It was so uncomplicated which I really appreciated. We didn't have to pay a room fee or meet a minimum, we simply reserved the space for our large party and they accommodated. What I loved most about this restaurant as a venue is the atmosphere. It is so beautifully decorated and required minimum decorations. We had the entire first floor to ourselves on a Saturday at lunch time and the servers provided amazing, attentive service. The food was absolutely incredible!! Each dish was more delicious than the last and the portions were so generous. I will return here again and again. The food was so yummy and it has such a great vibe. read more

I can't say I've ever had Levantine cuisine before but i was a fan! We got the Trio Mezee , all three were so good and rich in flavor. The hummus , the muhammara which was roasted red pepper with walnuts, and the Cretan feta with dill and parsley were all amazing. For entrees we got the pistachio kabob which was Minced Lamb, Pistachio, Red Pepper& Middle Eastern Spices with a side of the house fries. We also for the sweet potatoe doma, which included Lamb, Carrots, Rice Seasoned With Iraqi Spice, Side of yogurt, super good mix of flavors! In addition to its delicious food, Levant also offers a variety of Middle Eastern-inspired cocktails. From refreshing and fruity to bold and complex, the restaurant's cocktails are the perfect complement to any meal. This place will surely elevate your dining experience. I got the Habibi come to Dubai one which was Woodford Reserve, Arabic Tea Infusions With Flower and edible gold leaf's, the presentation was better than the taste , for my taste it was a little too smoky but still delicious none the less. They are opening a cigar and hookah bar soon, can't wait to come back to check that out ! read more

A new Middle Eastern restaurant has opened in the Gables! So we had to check it out for dinner. Upon arrival the front door has a hostess waiting outside, very classy and modern interior. The waitress came by and offered water immediately and then we ordered a started of the trio mezze with fresh pita. Wow! The dips were so flavorful and delicious, the pita was hot and puffy from the oven to the table. Next we ordered a few drinks: a Mocktail for me, Lebanon Night, very refreshing and a tequila based cocktail for my friend, the Majnoon. Both were great picks! For the mains we got the salmon kebab and the Antillon Pottery with lamb. The presentation was fantastic for both! The salmon came out on top of a flatbread with a spicy sauce along with onions. My friends dish came from a pot and they poured it onto a plate and the taste was to die for! We finished with some chocolate baklava and some Turkish coffee. read more

It was OK... We went for our anniversary. The restaurant is very pretty. Very clean, nice decor. The food was good. It just wasn't anything special. I had to pull out my receipt to remember what we ordered as everything was fine but nothing really stood out. Oh, except the price. This place is EXPENSIVE! My wife's Branzino was $55. Appetizers were $22. My house Malbecs were $18@, cocktails $20@. Pistachio Kabab was $32. And for dessert we shared a very tasty, but small, Baklava for $14(!). With tip we spent almost $300 for dinner for two (including. 2 drinks/wines each & a shared dessert). At Levant I felt like I paid a lot but didn't get a lot back. (If U decide to go anyway, check out the happy hour- Tues-Fri, 4-7pm when prices are more reasonable). read more
