Came here for dinner last night and had a great time! There was 6 of us and we just ordered a ton of food. Some of our favorites were the Mediterranean burrata, brussel sprouts and the kebabs. Everyone's top choice was the short rib with udon noodles. Absolutely delicious. Everything we had was great though and I'd go back and try the things we didn't because it was all just so good. Our server , Lily, was great. We just had a great time with fantastic food! read more

Such a cute little place! The restaurant is clean and the decor is adorable. Easy to make reservations which we did online. We walked here from our hotel but I am unsure what the parking situation would be like here. The service was excellent and our server Hank was attentive and patient when we asked questions. I think we ordered like half the menu. Do not leave here without trying their Brussels sprouts! They were the best thing on the menu. We also tried their ribeye, scallops, spicy pork belly, crab flatbread, truffle mac and cheese, shrimp n grits, fried calamari, grilled oysters, bulgogi lettuce wraps, short rib udon, and grilled lamb skewers. I enjoyed their ribeye, flatbread, scallops and mac and cheese. I would skip the lettuce wraps if I came back. I definitely would recommend and if am ever in the area again, would love to try the other things on their menu. read more

The food is typically very good and servings are plentiful. If you sit at the high top tables be prepared to wait for a while before anyone serves you. They have the bartenders, who are very busy, waiting on the high tops. They also rarely remove any plates after eating. So things tend to stack up. read more

Second visit was much better....I knew what to order! I didn't go wrong with Tuna, Brussel sprouts, and Shrimp. We ordered lamb but other was not so great. Banana pudding desert was ok as well. Service was good. There was plenty of space when my wife and I went there Friday evening. I'll visit again but will be careful trying anything new beyond those that I liked! read more

So many amazing dishes to order here...just not the short rib pappardelle pasta. I understand this is a small plate, but I counted 4 strands of pappardelle. Aside from the portion, the pasta was too thick, undercooked (and I really appreciate al dente pasta), and not warm. My usual cocktail, Angels and Demons, was a bit off too , so perhaps the bar and kitchen staff on a Tuesday night was different than busier night. read more

Wanted to love it, but the food was too salty; every dish we had (4) was over salted and having the same flavor profile. The drinks were great and the service was nice. read more

I've eaten at Level a handful of times and the food and service have always been spectacular. The ambience is modern. I was recently at Level for a friend's birthday celebration and they have Happy Hour from 4 pm to 5:30 pm. They have food also for Happy hour. I especially enjoyed the pork belly and truffle Mac and cheese. Their happy hour drinks are gimlet, angels and demon and bourbonopolis. Our server, Briget was great and so patient with all of us. read more

We had a really nice experience at Level. Enjoyed the short rib udon noodles, the grilled oysters, and the crab bruschetta. The cocktail list is creative. read more

The waitress was not very attentive, which was funny because the restaurant was practically empty. She had no idea what she was doing and didn't know anything about the menu. She also didn't understand that appetizers come out first followed by the entrees. The manager had to get our drink refills, because the waitress was nowhere to be found. After dinner I went to the restroom which had urine all over the floor and a dirty sink. This used to be a good place to eat, but has gone downhill. Not to mention it was freezing inside when we arrived and when we said something (3x) even the help said they were cold as well. The food was okay, but not as tasty in the earlier days. Not to mention our entrees were cold. Sad because we used to really like this place. After speaking with Eric the manager, he assured me that they were going to retrain the waitress and the other staff, which to be fair a number of whom are new, so they can provide the service we as customers are used to when we patronize this establishment. He also said they replaced the thermostat as they found it to be faulty. I told him we understood and would be back and that I would update my review. His attentiveness to us the customers is greatly appreciated. Eric is a stand-up guy, and we appreciated the call!!! read more

Not bad at all! Service was shaky early on but got better with time. I think they were a bit understaffed so we gave them some grace. The manager did come over and take our drink order and once our waitress showed up, it was smooth sailing. We tried a few dishes and 2 desserts. Calamari - 8/10 The presentation wasn't great but the taste made up for it. Hot and yummy. The spicy sauce is definitely the star of the show. Brussel Sprouts - 9/10 These were very good. Beware that the pan is hot and so are the sprouts. I was being so greedy I burned the top of my mouth. Still in pain 4 days later. I also didn't pay attention to the fact that they had pork in them, but we ate around it. Salmon Poke Bowl - 8/10 Another yummy one. The mango wasn't as ripe as I usually like them but I know how fruit can be hit or miss these days. Shrimp and Grits - 7/10 Flavor was a little lacking and the shrimp were slightly over cooked, but still good. Short Rib Pasta - I can't even rate this. Not happy with presentation at all...or maybe I was just expecting it to look differently When it arrived, I saw one piece of meat barely the size of the date. I thought maybe the rest was hiding but it wasn't. The noodles were just barely cooked. I don't even think they were Al dente. Sent it back immediately. Banana Bread Pudding - 8/10. Good but I wish it was a little warmer. Small portion which can be a good or bad thing, depending on who you are. Brownie - 8.5/10. If this brownie was hot, it would have been perfect. It didn't come with ice cream either, so we were comped a scoop because of our short rib pasta debacle. For drinks we had the Agua Fresca Al Fuego and the mocktail version. Both were good. Parking was easy. There is some street parking and a parking deck across the street. Definitely worth a visit. And close enough to the waterfront where you can explore the area before or afterwards read more

I wanted to like this place but we had to wait 20 minutes for a table even though we made a reservation. On top of that some of the food was so salty we had to send it back. The tuna and lamb chops were good. Vin is our go to though. read more

Amazing food, service, and libations! Crab dip flatbread was delicious! Bread pudding was a nice ending to a great meal! read more

I was looking for new, chill spot to meet some friends that I haven't seen in a while. I chose Level because of the reviews I had seen, and wasn't disappointed. It turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. First, the atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxing with low background noise, making conversation easy. The staff was very friendly and attentive. This is a small plates restaurant; two to three dishes per person was recommended for sharing. There was four of us, ordering two each, which was plenty. The food was served 2-3 at a time, spacing out the order to allow everyone time to enjoy the selections and each other's company. Each food selection was attractively presented, fresh and delicious. We only wish that we could have sampled more of the menu. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their tasty dishes. read more

We loved Level! We found this place while looking to host our rehearsal dinner this past September. We ended up booking the Farm Room, which can accommodate 40 people. Eric- both Erics actually, were so wonderful to work with. From helping with the menu to helping ensure the evening went smoothly, they made sure the kick off to our wedding weekend was great. The food and drinks were great as well and a lot of our guests came up to us to share how much they enjoyed the food. They also had a lot of menu items to accommodate allergies which is super helpful. If you're looking for a spot to host an event, look no further!! read more

Amazing service! The owner Eric and waitress Rhiannon was so kind and generous to us as we celebrated our friends bday. The food was 5 stars! Can't wait to go again read more

We went here for my birthday. The COVID precautions were appreciated. They took our contact info for contact tracing should there be any issue. Seated far apart, masks worn. I love tapas style eating, drinks were great as well. My husband and I were enjoying the food so much, I only remembered to snap 2 pics. Note - the fresh daily catch wasn't available even though it was a weekend. I chalk it up to pandemic problems. The great: 1. crab and aracini - AMAZING. Recommend. Crispy risotto, crab, tasty creme fraiche 5/5 2. grilled sea scallops - also amazing. the lemon bits were interesting. 5/5 3. local butcher steak - very tasty. got it med rare, perfectly cooked 5/5 4. house-made cheesecake - LOVED. note, this is a goat-cheese cheesecake. flavors were delightful, creamy. 5/5 5. banana bread pudding - good. 4/5 The OK: 6. chicharrones - like crunchy chips. The lime crema dip was good, but probably wouldn't get again 3/5 7. vegan paella - I liked the flavor, but basically was carrots, potatoes, rice. After a while got tired of eating it. 3/5 8. duck risotto - like comforting, warm rice porridge. 3/5 9. espresso ice cream - OK. I liked the flavor but it has the espresso bits in it which I don't love chewing. 3/5 read more

Our time here was peaceful and easy. The food was wonderful and Hank was able to point us in the right direction when it came to the menu. Lamb chops, Brussel sprouts, and Bulgogi lettuce wraps were phenomenal. Thanks to the kitchen for the Kim chi secrets Jen, the manager- she made it special with her personal touch on hospitality! read more

What happened to the tuna tartare? Not the robust fresh pink cubes I've had in the past. Flavor fine but the small brown mound was nothing like it's been. Disappointed. read more

Came here tonight with friends. The four was amazingly plated. We ordered the charcuterie combo board, trout salad, roasted squash, ribs, scallops, flatbread, duck confit, and the banana bread pudding. Everything was good, i didn't care for the trout salad as much. The trout was too dry. Looking forward to coming back again to try other dishes. read more

The food and atmosphere was top notch. We tried several plates each being more delicious than the last. Definitely worth a visit, will be going back! read more

I'll spare you the picture of the toughest, yet fattiest ribs, because no one wants to see that. I will, however show you the $8.00 tiny pile of shriveled up burnt sugar. Nothing about this tasted like banana bread tasted like banana. Including the shaving of sugar encrusted actual banana. The Mediterranean plate would have been better if I went to the grocery store across from the hotel. I make better hummus at home with a ninja blender. Speaking of which, when delivering to a hotel, you may want to put in a napkin and a fork and knife. I'm a little more civilized than that. read more

I love this place! It's the perfect place to go by yourself, or with a few friends, willing to try some new twists on familiar dishes. The ambience is open and friendly. The servers are so personable! Jenna and Elaina are very accommodating, and have great customer service. The bartender Brandon, is also very friendly, and attentive. You can't go wrong here! I strongly suggest the butcher steak, and for dessert, the chocolate chip cookies with cereal milk. You're welcome! read more

So I have been here three times. Twice this summer and just a few days ago. The ambience is fantastic and the drinks are tasty but a bit on the small side. The honey bear is served in a cute bear glass but was way too small of a vessel for a $13 drink. The food however which used to be spectacular is not meeting the bar anymore. We ordered the combo board, the winter salad, oyster salad, the hen and the calamari. The combo board was yummy but needed one more portion of meat, cheese and fruit. Everything was under fried which made the dishes oily, soft and squishy. Needed more crisp on both the hen, oysters and the calamari. The salads were both too heavily dressed and rather large. We were expecting a side salad size and was surprised by the size. Lastly the hen that my daughter ordered was 'sad' in her words. The biscuit was incredible but the pickled veggies and hen left much to be desired. Not sure we will return for the food. But would come back for a happy hour. read more

This place was such a pleasant surprise. I really thoroughly enjoyed this mean and look forward to returning and trying things I didn't have a chance to try. Service was fantastic, food and drink was good and atmosphere was enjoyable. Portions were solid too for a tapas place. read more

Tried to add myself to the waitlist online and it said "no wait, come on in!" We arrived moments later and were told no walk ins at all tonight. read more

Level is a nice place for dinner however a little pricey considering the size of the meals. I know, this is a tapas place, but that should be reflected in the price. I started with the ban mi rolls which were very tasty. This was a nice amount and well worth it. However I had the seared pork ribs next and there were not many and what was there did not have much meat on the bone. On a positive note, the staff are very friendly and service was good read more

Amazing meal, strongly recommend. Small plates that share well, you order many little quantities. They recommend 3 per person, we had more. We started the fried cauliflower with a sriracha sauce that was amazing; it had a wonderful texture and the sauce was a delight. The Duck Confit was in the French style and impressively juicy with a a delightful spice medley. The Tuna tartare was some of the best I have ever had. We had two Chartreuse plates, a more traditional European style and a seafood one (which was a daily special), and both were fantastic. They do a grilled octopus that reminds me of a dish that I had in Greece, and in the very best way. They make amazing French fries that would do well to start with while you make up your mind about what to eat, and again before you have desert. Octopus Banana bread pudding was what we had for desert, and it was the perfect capper. The staff was friendly and the service was great. They did a commendable job of pacing the dishes so that you could enjoy each in sequence and savor their distinct qualities. Great wines, solid beers, and an Uber ride home made for an evening I look forward to repeating soon. read more

My partner and I come to Level for their signature Gimlet, but believe me, the food and other creative cocktails are equally exceptional! Food is always very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. We love the service and the manager, Jen, is so friendly with the guests and always pays great attention and care to offer the best experience! Doesn't matter what we get, we end up liking it. We've been eating here for a few years now and highly recommend Level. read more

My husband and I had a great time at this quaint restaurant. The food and service were equally amazing. Definitely recommend!

New Year's Eve 2021 - it was my boyfriend and I's first time in Annapolis and Level was in walking distance from our Airbnb. On our way to Main St., Level caught our eye. Upon looking inside, a woman kindly waved at us (who turned out to be Jennifer, a co-owner)! We sat upstairs in the bar area and had incredible service from everyone who tended to us. They all made sure we wouldn't forget our first time at Level! If you're looking for the best tapas + cocktails in Annapolis, THIS IS THE PLACE. After trying out multiple spots in the area, we ended up BACK at Level in the last hours of 2021 to enjoy the amazing cocktails by Cara! Can't wait to come back! read more

I was expecting to give this restaurant at least 4-5 stars but after visiting, I cannot. I understand I visited during Covid, and I am understanding that service could be slower due to lack of staff. There was barely anyone here when we went for my birthday. We were in a room with 1 other group of 4 and us. We had to flag down our waitress several times to order more plates and refill our water. The ribs we ordered were tough and chewy. The cheese platter was nice but I wish they would have told me which cheeses were included because I dislike goat cheese. Overall, the best thing we ate were the pork tacos and even they had undesirable fatty tissue that was under cooked. ***edited to add, I visited April 2021, and I'm not sure who you called but I did not receive any calls or messages. Feel free to DM me on here if you feel the need.*** read more

Great food and specialty cocktails. Small plates so if you order several it can be pricey.

Attended an awesome wedding reception last pm. Food, staff, amenities were top notch. All food were fresh/freshly prepared. Major compliments for crab dip, grilled veggies, roasted chicken, scallops, crabcakes, chateaubriand, mixed drinks. Staff was great,-worked as a team. Level is now top of Annapolis go-tos. Enjoy! read more

I was looking for a good place for dinner while I was in town when I found this place on yelp. Yelpers thank you!! I made reservations ahead of time and would strongly suggest you do too. When I called the hostess was very friendly and helpful. We arrived 10 minutes early and were greeted by a friendly hostess. Our table was not yet ready so we went to the bar area in the middle of the restaurant. We ordered a gimlet that was so good! Then we were sat at our reservation time. The restaurant is on two levels with two dining rooms on the first floor. There was only one bathroom on the first floor more were upstairs. The downstairs one was past the open busy kitchen and could be slippery. Service: Our waiter was excellent, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our water glasses were refilled without our asking and the timing of the food was perfect. Food: we started with the bang mi bites which were good in a spicy mayo. The Brussel sprouts were so yummy. All the dishes were excellent including the desserts. read more

If you haven't eaten here then you must drop whatever your plans are and RUN to Level A Small Plates Lounge! So full disclosure the first two time my husband and I came here we did drinks and desserts which were very good but we recently went mid week and during happy hour which was perfect timing for us because the establishment wasn't crowded. My hats off to the AMAZING bartender Omar who continued to dazzle us with his wonderful cocktail expertise and was super friendly and kept us laughing and made us feel so welcomed. We ordered a few items and they were gastronomically food for the soul. The ribs and pulled pork sliders were the best I have ever tasted, hands down! I weep for the poor souls who haven't eaten here yet. This place is a must if you're in downtown Annapolis. read more
