Levant on Smith

Stopped in this evening for dinner after work with a friend. The atmosphere was lovely, with a cozy welcoming vibe. The service was excellent, with pleasant staff. The food was good. It was fresh, delicately flavored and beautifully presented. My sea bass had a couple of small bones, but I easily removed them myself. I experimented with the drink I ordered and discovered the smokiness wasn't to my taste, which is a personal preference. It was well made and looked nice. Although I may return again in the summer to try another dish, I don't think French cuisine is a favorite of mine. Give it a try and decide for yourself. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options for each section on the menu.

A friend & I had the pleasure of dining @ this lovely restaurant recently. The food & staff were fabulous. To start, we had frog legs, unique & so delicious. The Wagyu steak tartare was exceptional! Our main courses were whole sole, skillfully deboned at our table by our waiter Tuna & filet mignon which was delicious & cooked to perfection. Desserts , molten chocolate cake & chestnut figs mousse made me close my eyes in delight with every bite. This 5 star restaurant is one of the best restaurant's hands down! Please visit soon. You won't be disappointed !

We had an amazing meal! Ordered the frog legs & wagyu beef tartare to start which were fresh & delicious. Then had the sole meunière which was perfectly cooked, deboned table side and had a delicious fish stock sauce. Also tried the filet mignon which was succulent and cooked perfectly!! I love when a place gets the temperature right that I asked for. We also had the chocolate soufflé and chestnut cakes for dessert which were unreal. Perfect outstanding meal & amazing service from our waiter Tuna!

I absolutely love this place. It's a great spot for a date or special occasion (aside from any occasion). For cocktails, we got THE JUGGLER (Gin, House-Made Sour Mix Fresh Cucumber Juice, Bergamot), the HIBISCUS LEVITATOR (Tequila Blanco, Orange Liqueur, House-made Hibiscus Syrup, Fresh Lime Juice), and my personal favorite, the LEVANT FRENCH MARTINI (Absolut Vanilla Vodka, Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, Confetti Sprinkles—it's just so beautiful and fun!). For appetizers, we had the CRISPY GOAT CHEESE (Pastry sheets filled with goat cheese and herbs. 4pcs), CHICKEN CROQUETTES (Crispy chicken croquettes, 3pcs) with a creamy filling, Served with homemade aioli—just fantastic), the BRUSSELS SPROUTS (Sautéed Brussels sprouts with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and herbs), CAULIFLOWER GRATIN (Bechamel sauce, parmesan cheese—I want to eat this every day), WAGYU STEAK TARTARE (Hand-chopped filet mignon combined with shallots, chives, parsley, capers, French mustard, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce topped with a quail egg—also want this every day), and the FROG LEGS (Golden brown fried frog legs( 2 pcs) served with blue cheese dressing.) For entrees, we split the CHICKEN CORDON BLEU (Chicken breast stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese, breaded and golden-fried, topped with a creamy Dijon lemon sauce. Served with asparagus—pretty good, although not the star), and the actual star, LE BOEUF GOURMAND, which sadly appears to now be off the menu. For dessert, we shared the very excellent CRÈME BRÛLÉE (Creamy custard flavored with espresso, topped with caramelized sugar) and their unique SAN SEBASTIAN CAKE (traditional Spanish Basque cheesecake – perfectly light, creamy and smooth, baked to caramelized perfection). It's been a while since I was last there, but need to return soon!

I was very excited to check out Levant on Smith for valentine’s day dinner Prix Fixe, but left feeling disappointed. I’ll start by saying that all of the service was amazing, very attentive servers and the general atmosphere of the restaurant was very cute. Where things started to go south was when the food came. At first we were given an amuse-bouche which was a smoked salmon mousse and it felt and tasted like it had been prepared days before and left in the fridge. For appetizers we got the shrimp flambé and the wagyu tartare. The wagyu tartare was good but very heavy on the capers and that was very overpowering. The shrimp flambé was severely overcooked, super chewy and rubbery to the point of squeaking in my mouth while chewing. For our mains we got the steak frites and the coq au vin. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, but what alarmed me was that when the plate was brought out it was hot to the touch (as if microwaved or heated). The coq au vin was alright but the quality of the chicken was, for lack of a better comparison, giving foodtown chicken. For dessert we got the creme brûlée and the basque cheesecake and both were flavourful, the best course!! Lastly, at one point in the dinner the server had brought salt and pepper to the table. What was off-putting was that it was in the original McCormick brand salt and pepper shakers … which when dining at a restaurant is a little off-putting. Overall, I realize that this was a special occasion and probably should go try it out when its not a prix fixe, but the food being of such poor quality does not make it very enticing and definitely not worth the price tag.

Absolutely amazing place, the staff is professional and the food is great. Wheelchair accessibility: They built the access .

A hidden gem! I rarely find French restaurants with actually satisfying food but this one turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The dishes are mostly traditional, nothing super fancy or creative, but you can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the perfect balance of flavors.

This place is so cute and you can tell is a neighborhood gem. I went for a late Saturday brunch as a table of 9. Our group was loud and energetic and the wait staff was just so incredibly accommodating. We were busy talking so I didn’t take enough pictures but the food was absolutely incredible. They do everything to perfection. The French onion soup was out of this world. The espresso martini was smooth and not too sweet. The portions were perfect. They even treated our group to a round of shots as a thank you for our business. The waitstaff for a group this large truly was so incredibly accommodating. Thank you for having us!

Pretty good experience! The food was good! The fries were excellently seasoned. We got the grave lax and eggplant, and both were great! Loved the starter portions. The main breakfast egg options were good (Wish my quiche was warm tho). The drinks were really nice and well balanced too.

The atmosphere was very intimate and cozy, and we were there only a couple hours before close so it wasn't super busy. Our server was pretty unfriendly but otherwise the experience was good! the cocktails were pretty good but dinner and dessert were very very tasty.
