Level Small Plates Lounge

Finally made it to level this past week for the first time.  No complaints with the food - definitely a cut above the rest.  I also liked the fact that they get their food from local sources.  My wife and I shared a couple different dishes including the smoked scallops & bacon flatbread, that night's lamb tenderloin special, some hand cut fries (someone there has sharp hands, let me tell ya), and some type of pork spring rolls.  Oh, my wife went berserk for the cucumber margarita - very refreshing!  I thought the beer selection was wimpy compared with all the wine and food choices, but hey, that's just me.

Our server was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu, but it did seem like he had to make an effort to be friendly with us.  I come across that a lot in Annapolis -especially if the place is newer or trendy.  The biggest disappointment for me and my wife was just how frickin' LOUD it was in there.  They were busy, sure, but some sound absorbing panels on the walls and ceiling would go a LONG way.

(3.5) ~ Overall good food & service...some of our Favs included the Summer Sangria & the Spicy Tuna Tartar, both very good(4).  Everything else was just good(3.5).

NOTE: Parking Lot in the back.

Level has some of the best tapas I've ever eaten. The calamari, French fries, and tuna tartare are all mouth watering and addictive. I'm dreaming of tasting each of them momentarily at 10am and wishing they were open now. The hand shaken gimlet with fresh cream is the best gimlet I've ever tasted. If you feel like I'm saying best alot you're absolutely right I am. Go for yourself and see what I mean, you won't regret it.
