Levant is serving up high quality dishes in the unassuming streets of Cobble Hill. The portions were surprisingly as tasty as they were generous. A lovely spot for a date night.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was yummy. My only thought is that there needs to be a couple more items on the menu. Not too many, just a few. Otherwise, very good. I would go back there without hesitancy.
