Levant Restaurant

I would just like to take the time to warn others against ruining a perfectly good evening by going to the Levant for dinner. I have been a real supporter of the establishment for many years now; I have enjoyed the atmosphere and food. However on Saturday night, I can honestly say that I have never received such poor service. Nor has the music ever been so excruciatingly loud.

Starters were thrown at us as soon as we were in the door, with no smile or explanation of what the different meze dishes were. The food was cold. We then waited another hour and a half for the second course, which was deeply disappointing. We were… during this hour and a half offered no drinks, explanation, apologies or attention. When I politely asked the whereabouts of the second course, I was told that the waiter would go to find out … after hearing nothing more for a further 20 minutes I asked again.

When I asked to speak to the manager, he told me that he had apologised already and that there was a problem in the kitchen. I think that he must have been mistaken as he had not apologised to me. But I can be left with no doubt that if the service at the Levant does not improve he will be doing a lot more apologising in future. At £32 a head, a pricey wine list and bursting ear drum music – please don’t waste your time and money here.

Levant was superb I went on a around three weeks ago on a Saturday night the service was good considering that the place was packed, the food was very good not only the quantity but also the quality. The entertainment was fun!! (a belly dancer) also the music was good. I would recommend it for a great might out with a bunch off friends. I intend to go back.
