    We requested a quiet table and were shown to a corner table with a water view. It must be gorgeous when the weather is warm and sunny since it has an outside deck overlooking the river. Service was prompt and very accommodating since we had to warm up with hot tea before even looking at the menu. Our server was great. Friendly and patient. Food was really good and we enjoyed everything. The warm cookie pie, even shared 3 ways, was a perfect sweet ending. Would go back anytime.

    We had Sushi and Salmon and both selections were excellent. We very much enjoyed them. The food stood out! The restaurant is located at a nice location with water views and I assume it’s a great location in summer when you can sit outside. The service was good. The waiters were clearly tasked to the max supporting maybe a couple tables to many for great service, so no complaint about our server. The one downside was that it was very loud. We were sitting in the middle row and it was very tough to even have a conversation. I suspect it’s better at other tables. In summary, great food, probably excellent ambiance in summer and we will be back.

    Hi Jurgen, We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our sushi and salmon selections and found our cuisine to be excellent. Apologies on the noise level. Acoustics are tough in this historic building, but please always feel free to request a quieter table, we have some booths that may be a tad quieter than where you sat. And yes, outdoor seating, perfect ambiance and noise levels not an issue - its a vibe! We're looking forward to welcoming you back to Sea Level Oyster Bar-NBPT soon.

    We went for a birthday dinner with little kids. They sat us at the corner table which was great because kids are unpredictable. Food was delicious. The server was attentive and they even got me a little birthday dessert. Perfect little outing.
