Levi's Gastrolounge & Bar
Reviews
Fantastic and unique menu with a few standard dishes and a few unique ones. Appeals to the picky and the adventurous. Veggie Portobello Burger is better than real cow, Duck wings are Quack-Tastic and the Moscow-Mule drinks are pretty spectacular. This is a busy hot spot on the weekends so be ready to wait. But totally worth it.
AMAZING food. Nice chill atmosphere. We went on a Friday night a couple weeks ago in a group of four, but we didn't get there until 7pm, so we waited a LONG time for a table (like any of the good local restaurants in the area on a Friday at that time). We had some great local beers and a (couple) perfect Moscow Mule drink(s) while we waited. Once we finally got a table, we had the cheese fries appetizer, the tres tacos, beef shortrib sliders (the best thing we got!). Watched the table next to us get the tomahawk ribeye--it's quite a show because the thing is HUGE and they carve it tableside for you. They aren't kidding when they say it's a meal for two. This place is awesome, so come early, come late, come on a weeknight--or expect to wait a while for a table. It's worth the wait, though.
Food was what I would expect from a bar/lounge and the waitress was nice and attentive. The issue my wife and I have was with the management. My wife had left her phone there after a lunch break and called them that evening. The manager said that they had the phone and it was behind the bar. When my wife returned the phone was missing. The management did not try to help find out what happened to it and did not offer any sort of assistance with who "stole" her phone... I will not eat at a restaurant with with kind of management and owners.
Everything here is outstanding from the cool feel of the place to the cold beer of various craft brews on tap to the food. The prices are just right. This is a place you can only get from local owners who care about the people that visit. I have eaten there at lunch and dinner.
This place has never looked this nice. Was invited by a friend to go with to a "soft opening" and although the staff is learning they made up for it in the cooking, atmosphere and drinks. Full bar was nice and I can easily see this place becoming a staple of downtown. New, Unique and Quality.
