The tavern itself is sort of rustic, and you choose where you sit. Some announcements were scrolling on the tv while we were hanging out and it made it clear to us that this was a neat community spot where cool things happen. We kept it simple and got the mac and cheese to share, and it was so dang good! Creamy, rich, and the crispy onions on top were clearly made from scratch. The portion was perfect for the 2 of us. Our expectations weren't super high being a sort of pub food place, but the quality blew us away. Our server was awesome, quick and genuinely kind and personable. You could tell he likes what he does, even being there on his bday. It was super chill inside, and you could tell from the other people at the bar that this is definitely a place where people are regulars and love to see the people who work there. If you are in the area, don't underestimate this place. Also keep an eye on their event calendar if you're local or visiting for a few days, it looks like they host some really fun events. This stop gave us perspective into the area and the vibe really made us think we could relocate one day!

Pic attached tho! It's not a big place, but there are both high tops, couches and lounge chairs, and bar seating depending on your preference. As an out of town visitor, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

First: that view. Five floors up, city lights stretching out, not a cloud in the sky. The cocktails set the tone immediately. I ordered the Macaw -- unusual but very delicious in the most delighted way possible. My husband's specialty cocktail held its own right alongside it. I made it my mission to eat as locally as possible and Level 5 delivered completely. The Mole Poblano was extraordinary. My husband's duck dinner had him going moaning and groaning in pleasure. Our waitress was warm and wonderful, and finding out she had Pacific Northwest roots made us feel right at home from about 1,500 miles away. Level 5, you made our Valentine's Day genuinely unforgettable. Albuquerque, we'll absolutely be back.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our 41st anniversary and ordered the three-course meal. The…read morefood itself was very good, which makes this even more frustrating. At the end of the meal, we were shocked to see a $44 automatic gratuity added to our bill, for just two people. This was never mentioned by our server. As visitors, we had no idea this was part of "restaurant week," and no one disclosed it when we ordered. That lack of transparency felt deceptive. Service did not justify that kind of tip. We had very little attention from our waitstaff, long stretches without check-ins and minimal engagement. Meanwhile, the table right next to us received constant attention from both the manager and staff. The manager was explaining dishes and making sure they were taken care of, while we were largely ignored. The difference in treatment was obvious. When we questioned the charge, the manager's response was dismissive: "it's on the website." That's not acceptable. If you're adding a mandatory gratuity of that size, it should be clearly communicated at the table--especially to out-of-town guests. We were happy with the food and pricing, but adding a surprise $44 tip without telling us ruined what should have been a special anniversary dinner. We left feeling misled and undervalued. Be aware: ask about automatic gratuity before you order, or you may end up with unexpected charges like we did. We won't be back.

Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

(Except for the noise from an occasional loud vehicle that drove by!) We ordered two appetizers: Korean Chicken Bites and Parmesan Zucchini Ribbons. The chicken bites weren't our favorite. Just okay. But the zucchini ribbons with the lemon basil aioli were so good! I would go back just to order that starter again. One disappointment is that I really wanted to order the Shishito Peppers. No longer on the menu. My meal was the Pastrami Reuben with fries. I switched out the Swiss cheese for cheddar. I liked the meal, and it was enough to bring half of the sandwich home for lunch the next day. The other two ordered the Crispy Pork Belly & Tomato Jam flat bread. One liked it, the other was just okay with it. Two of us ordered sangria. It was white, which came as a surprise to us. It was less sweet than we prefer. Another in our group ordered a mocktail and quite liked it. Got a second one and I don't believe they charged for the refill. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of it. It might sound like I have too many issues to give a 4-star rating, but I stand by it. The amience was nice. The wait staff was pleasant. The menu was creative. I'll definitely go back.
