Monday night dinner around 7pm, we were a party of three and seated in a cozy booth near the bar immediately. Started with a few drinks (bud light, Bloody Mary oyster shooter, & two Smoke Shows). Next up, oyster appetizers and a shrimp cocktail. Finished with a lobster roll, chicken sandwich, and seafood paella. Everything was fantastic! Portions were very generous. Our server was so friendly and food and drinks came out quickly. Can’t wait to go back!

Holly, our waitress, was great!

All of the food was wonderful. Chargrilled oysters, clam chowder, lobster bisque, shrimp and grits, grouper w/red beans and dirty rice, and an apple buckle! We enjoyed both kinds of mules, and their whiskey sour! The cornbread is to die for! Sweet but not overwhelming, with crispy edges. Nothing was salty.

The Hawaiian Delight starts off like grape koolaid and ends medicinally, but a wonderful experience overall. Will return.

Parking validation for Truist garage not active tonight, and the restaurant seems smaller than the pictures, as it does have wall bench seating.

Had a great time here. Great service from Mike. Good food and drinks! Would highly recommend the chargrilled oysters and calamari. Every dish was good including dessert. Only feedback is I had hoped the fried catfish had more crunch.

We went to Sea level to celebrate our wedding right after the ceremony with a few friends — and it was absolutely perfect! The food was divine, everything was fresh and full of flavor. We got there during happy hour, so oysters were on special — super fresh and delicious.
The staff were amazing too — they surprised us with two glasses of champagne to celebrate and even gave us a discount card for our next visit. Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this place!

Atmosphere- quiet, which was nice after a long day. And appropriately decorated and laid out. Very nice.

Service- my server Q was assisted by an A-Team. Or so it seemed. As her prompt, friendly service to me was accompanied by efficient bar service and food that was also delivered quickly and exactly as ordered. Excellent!

Food – Sea Level, you’ve kept me on my streak of selecting restaurants that serve Maine style lobster rolls the right way – big chunks of lobster, mixed in a well-balanced blend of mayo and seasonings, served chilled but not cold, in a perfectly buttered and toasted roll. Fantastic!!

So glad I finally tried this place! Clean, charming, great vibe and service, classy without being uppity.

Their craft G&T and mule are great choices for drinks. Best Caesar salad (house made dressing) and lobster bisque (so many lobster chunks!) I’ve ever tasted. Calamari is top tier, Fresno chiles bring a lot to the party. Oyster Royale was a fantastic start.

Shrimp and grits were incredibly creamy and savory, perfectly cooked. Shrimp po’ boy with house made fries was next level, better than what I had in NOLA. Can’t wait to come back!

The vibe at this restaurant is really good and makes for a nice overall experience. The food is pretty good, and the dessert, especially the chocolate cake is very good. Definitely coming back!

My friend and I went out to celebrate our birthday’s, it was a very cute girl dinner. The ambiance and decor were pretty. Not too over the top but a classic twist on any seafood restaurant. You can bring your children they provide high chairs and the background music was not too loud. They also had ample seating for large groups. I forgot to take a picture of my drink but I got the rum punch variant they had with hibiscus. That was a very sweet drink so maybe next time I would get something else. I got the shrimp and lobster bisque. It was a rich soup very hearty, but it cooled too quickly so it eventually gave a gazpacho texture. I ordered the NC Fried Catfish, and a side of mashed potatoes. The catfish did not come with an actual side note so a corn succotash. As beautiful as it was presented it lacked all the flavor. It tasted like they took the fish, added no seasoning, put it in the breading which also had no seasoning. The mashed potatoes tasted very bland and the consistency almost gave boxed mashed potatoes, no seasonings not even a salt and pepper. Very disappointing, our server though was the sweetest most helpful man. He had great recommendations and when I told him I was not pleased with the taste of my food he took it away right away. He also recommended another dish which is how I ordered the Sweet and Spicy Calamari. It was very nice and fresh, and crisp. I was not a fan of the accompanying sauce but if it had like a nice aioli I think it would’ve paired better. I would give them another chance but I was not wowed in this trip.

Absolutely loved this place!
I’ve tried oysters at so many restaurants and they were never quite right — but here they were perfect. Super fresh, clean flavor, and honestly the best I’ve had in a long time. I finally enjoyed them!
The lobster bisque and the hot dip were also delicious. Great service, cozy atmosphere — definitely coming back.

My partner and I had dinner here to kick off his 50th birthday! Patricia was an amazing server and took extra special care of us. She timed our experience well by giving us ample time to enjoy drinks, appetizers, and our meal.
