“ This was my 1st time at Levels. I had an incredible experience. The cuisine was tasty. I will definitely be back. The owner was nice and welcoming. ”

“ Fantastic Food! The party jollof rice with the chicken was great! Quick service and attentive staff, everyone was very talkative and the owner was very kind. Great service! And lovely interior too! ”

“ Impressed by the service, our waiter was very energetic and attentive. Enviornment is cozy and modern. Food was great! It was my first time trying Nigerian cuisine and Asun was my favorite! Perfect amount of spice and seasoning and goes well with white rice. Party Jollof was well-balanced with plantain, fried chicken, and sides of coleslaw or sauteed vegetables (I added extra order of side). ”

“ West African Luxe... Levels met my expectations and is a great addition to Downtown St. Louis, and to the STL nightlife, altogether! This place is gorgeous! Let's start there. You walk in and you could be transported to anywhere. The music is lively and sets the mood for an experience. Day Club vibes and Nightcap flow. There's ample seating and a full-service bar for your libation needs. The staff is accommodating and pleasant. The food is amazing. Full of flavor and spiced nicely. The menu houses options that I believe everyone could walk away satisfied with. To cap it off, up top is the Mezzanine with an art gallery and 2nd bar. Add this place to your hit list! ”

“ We made reservations for 5:00. We arrived and our table was ready, which is always nice. Our server was very nice and attentive. I love that she didn't mind accommodating me to swap out the Sabi girl cocktails liquor from tequila to vodka. She recommended the party Jollof entree so that is what I ordered. She usually gets it with goat meat, I was too scared to try it so I opted for the chicken. Everything had a good taste to it. This was my first time at a Nigerian Restaurant and definitely think everyone should try this place out. ”

“ Finally made it to Levels on Washington Ave! I've been dying to try this spot & get a peek in the inside. Beautifully decorated. They have a seasonal cocktail menu along with their signature drinks. The menu packs a lot of punch with flavor. From the hostess to bartender to the waiter/waitresses, they were all very helpful! ”

“ Levels has a really nice vibe to it. It's fairly simple, yet also immersive in that it celebrates the culture. I can best describe it as relaxed, casual sophistication. It made for quite a pleasant meal. A few reviews from November and early December mention that the service was slow or lacking. I'm guessing that might have been a temporary situation with staffing. Our service was excellent. We were there early, so that also might have factored, but they looked to be well staffed. Every single worker we interacted with was friendly, polite, and competent. Food and drinks came fairly quickly, too. Once we were seated, we were served waters and a small bowl of chin chin, basically a Nigerian street food that is little cubes of fried, sweetened dough. They were crunchy and tasted of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. A small touch from the restaurant, but nice - and that little bowl actually contained much more than it appeared. I ordered the Party Jollof (jollof rice plate) with beef. The rice was deeply flavored with a light smokiness. Just a bit of heat from spice, but not much even for a spice-baby like me. The beef came on the side in 1 inch or larger cubes. They appeared to be from a roast that must have been very well braised and seasoned. The rendering and seasoning made it fork fall apart and so savory. Also on the side was a spinach-based hot vegetable mix. Don't know all the ingredients or spices, but it was good. Coleslaw was the alternative to that. And a bunch of tasty fried plantains rounded out the platter. The wife ordered Efo Riro. It was described as a vegetable soup medley, but appeared to me to be the same spinach/greens mix that I was served, except much more. Still good, though! She ordered beef with hers, too, and it came under the greens in her bowl. Same savory beef as mine. A grapefruit sized ball of fufu filled out her order (vs. a white rice option), which she broke up and added to the dish as needed - to soak up the flavors. One other highlight: The Party Jollof was $24, and the Efo Riro was $26. Both were reasonably priced. But both were also huge amounts of food - much more than they appeared to be on the plates. Now I forced all mine down, but the wife brought more than half of hers home. Will make a couple of nice lunches for me! ”

“ I was very excited to finally try Levels downtown! I like the space and the homage to the owner's Nigeran heritage with art, music, and décor. The craft cocktails are really good including the Bigger than Bombay, and the holiday cocktail (Cozy Cocktails) J-Town. I ordered the Party Jollof that comes with jollof rice, plantains, and the option of beef (my choice), chicken, or goat for an upcharge. The jollof rice is SPICYYYY and SMOKEY (you'll need water if you're not a big spicy person), so be prepared for that! The service wasn't great, but luckily my company was! ”
