Overall, the food was great. The service was slow on a slow night, but it was good

Was staying in the area so mostly chose this place for the convenience and was super surprised by how good of a meal it was.
I started with a half dozen oysters. I'll admit most of them at $4-4.50 each are pretty expensive, so I opted for the cheapest option at $2.50 each and they were delicious. Fairly large and the condiments were great. The mignonette sauce was a skosh thin but the cocktail sauce was more interesting than most and enjoyed this a lot. Also grabbed the house punch, which came in a mug for unknown reasons but I didn't mind it. The taste overall was quite delightful.
The true star of the meal, however, was the catfish Reuben. I was torn between this and something else and the waiter very much recommended this. I'm not really a catfish fan but this may have converted me. This was absolutely top 5 Reubens I've ever had. I'm not sure what made it so tasty beyond the slaw and the seasoning. It wasn't overly soggy as some are and the cheese was just right. The fish itself was a delightful surprise and complemented the other ingredients perfectly.
Service was super nice and fairly attentive, albeit wasn't so crowded so easy to be. Sat at the bar which was a great experience for one person and was able to walk in for lunch on a Saturday. The vibe itself is fairly laid back but does give hints of their seafood heritage.
I will be thinking about this sandwich next time I order a Reuben.

Service and food were great. We had their sea bass dish with the green tomato gazpacho and the seafood dip, followed by the apple buckle desert. All delicious.

Food was awesome and honestly the happy hour oysters can’t be beaten. But you have to be careful because the food is so good you’re going to want to keep buying more. My experience may be skewed positive as I went early in the day before the dinner rush but i would definitely recommend.

I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant!! We went here for my boyfriend’s birthday, and we both agreed that this is our favorite restaurant we have tried in Charlotte since moving here last May! The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. Amazing experience!!

The oysters were so fresh and delicious. The lobster bisque was chock full of lobster and shrimp and so so good. Our main courses - shrimp & grits and scallops w/ risotto - were flavorful and absolutely outstanding. And our server, Barrack (sp?) was wonderful throughout. Can’t wait to come back for dinner at Sea Level. Highly recommend.

Everything about this place is 5 stars. The staff is engaging and attentive. The bar staff is on point with their crafted cocktails and service. Sea Level is very accommodating, but I definitely recommend making a reservation if you truly want to try some of the best seafood in town.

Stopped here for lunch. My wife got the salad topped with salmon. She said the salmon was wonderful. The had some grilled oysters they said were prepared New Orleans style. That excited me, but when I got them they such a disappointment. Several of the six oysters had grit or sand in them and the toppings and flavor didn't hold a candle to what I've eaten in New Orleans.

Ah-mazing! Fresh, fresh oysters - delish char grilled oysters, and flounder piccata which I’m going to reverse engineer when I get home. Lively atmosphere - so not a place for a quiet dinner, but the food is fresh and dishes are innovative. I will come again when am next in Charlotte!
