"Neighboring the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and corporation-headquarter-galore is Sea Level, a restaurant priding itself on sustainable seafood. Slurp the Sea Level oyster (or a dozen at the $1.50 weekday oyster happy hour) directly from North Carolina, and then savor a cocktail from the libations menu, including a spirit-forward Elijah Craig old fashioned. The paella, dolloped with a saffron creme fraiche, is adorned in sausage, bacon, scallops, shrimps, and mussels, which primarily come from local fisheries and farms across the state, or at least, the east coast. The oyster shell wall at the front entrance is a fun touch too." - Vox Creative
