    One of my favorite restaurants in NY. Sunday brunch feels like a big extended family. Great food, multi-generations, cozy and modern with the best energy. Best French Toast. Amazing grilled cheese with tomato sandwich . It’s all good no matter when you go. Classic NY.

    I went here for Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend, my first Valentine’s Day with someone and just everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. The bread was freshly made and perfect, the cod was creamy and soft while having this warm homemade feeling to it. The pistachio crème burle was the perfect finishing touch to the meal. Very well priced, extremely satisfied. Waiter was very helpful and food came out very fast and was absolutely delicious

    CLASSIC brasserie. If you like the timely dishes of steak au poivre, mussels, duck, etc. this is the THE place in the neighborhood. The ambience was perfect and the service was great. Saw lots of regulars come in and the staff knew everyone by name. Highly recommend.

    We made a last minute reservation at Levant when our previous plans fell through, and they could not have been more accommodating. Our food + wine were delicious, perfect ambiance and excellent service. Will definitely be back!
