Sea Level makes sure that you have a positive experience, from the easy validated parking in Hearst Tower to the attentive service while dining. Even during the hustle and bustle of Queens Feast Restaurant Week we enjoyed a relaxing meal and interesting drinks.
Raw oysters for an appetizer was a great way to start before traditional shrimp and grits, but it was the chocolate pecan bread pudding that stole the show. A rectangular slice that was equally sweet and gooey, I definitely wanted a nap afterwards. My dining companion ordered the lemon tart for dessert and when the crust was too hard to even be cut through with a knife the server kindly brought us another order of the bread pudding, which had a bit of a different texture, as it was sliced from a new part of the pan, so the variety in experience was a welcome surprise!
Left Hand's milk stout on nitro pour is always a welcome option on a tap list and a good substitute for the Flying Dog oyster stout that was on the menu. Fun cocktails and true-to-Uptown experience. Nicely done. While it isn't the same kind of experience one might have at an on-the-water seafood place, Sea Level is a great option in Charlotte.
