Levels

This is my first time in town, and as I was exploring the area, I saw this unassuming entrance to Levels. It gave me local small restaurant vibes. I decided to give it a try since it said Nigerian cuisine, and I never had it before. Wow! The inside is so nice, with a second level featuring works from local artists. Honestly, it kinda gave me a little bit of a speakeasy vibe. The place is decorated in green and white. I see what you did there 🇳🇬! I was seated at the bar, and the lovely Iffie served me a great cocktail and recommended I get the Party Jollof. It was really good! A good serving of rice accompanied by plantains, spinach, and to her recommendation, chicken. Amazing taste and a little spicy, just how I like it. I highly recommend it. Overall, the food was really good and the staff was even better. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and even gave me a little extra snack since they knew it was my first time trying Nigerian food. Thank you, Iffie and everyone at Levels!

Our recent visit to Levels Nigerian Restaurant was nothing short of refreshing—especially as part of a birthday celebration. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed like family. The staff was incredibly accommodating and engaging throughout the evening, making the night truly memorable. We had the pleasure of enjoying authentic Nigerian cuisine for the first time, and every bite left us wanting more. We’re already planning to return—and bringing all our friends and family with us! The drinks were top notch, with the perfect Lagos flair. And just when we thought the night couldn’t get any better, the restaurant transformed into a vibrant nightclub. It was the perfect surprise ending. Levels truly lives up to its name—a level of its own.

We went here for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was excellent! The atmosphere is great, there’s tv/sports for those who want to watch a game while they get a drink or eat dinner, and I loved the aesthetic/decor. Our waiter, Ali, was fantastic and gave us great recommendations. My boyfriend got the Egusi and fufu with chicken and I got the party jollof plate (jollof rice, plantains, sautéed greens, stewed beef). We both really enjoyed our choices and I definitely had some of my boyfriend’s meal. We got drinks, too, and they were also very nice! There is art upstairs and we were given a tour of the gallery after dinner. They have space for local artists and I loved the entire experience.

I made a reservation to visit this establishment on June 14, 2025. My wife and I arrived before our reservation time which was at 6:00 pm and we waited about 15 minutes before someone came to greet and seat us. There were two other parties that I guess made reservations at the same time so the hostess looked really overwhelmed, however she worked it out and started asking us all questions about our reservations and seating. Between ourselves and other party waiting at the same time, we were asked if we would like to be seated downstairs or upstairs. We chose the upstairs because we felt it might be more intimate, and it was okay. The art work was very nice and was a wonderful talking point while we waited for service. The tables could be a bit bigger, or at least longer to support if you would like to order a number of dishes. We waited for about 22 minutes before anyone came to get us drinks. I honestly am the one that is very critical of restaurants because in my experience, well ran restaurants have a system of how they operate to keep the flow of a great dining experience, so I was ready to walk out. She wanted to stay because she really wanted to try this place, so we stayed. Our server, a very upbeat, and knowledgeable young man came to service us and I appreciate him asking how long we had been there. I told him we have been seated for 22 minutes. He promptly apologized and asked us for our drink orders. He hurried and got the drinks, which we had two waters, and I ordered some kind of lemon berry cocktail. It was really good. When he returned, we had questions about some of the dishes and he was very detailed and patient. He even suggested dishes he thought were very good. My wife ordered the whole fish with veggies, and I ordered the goat with veggies. When the food came to the table it looked very good, however, my rice and veggies were ice cold! 🥶 We also had to eat with plastic utensils, because well as the server said, people take the silverware!IDK, just what we were told! 🤦🏿‍♂️ I notified the server about my dish and proceeded to eat just the goat, which was very good. During our meal, I was bit turned off and annoyed because some of the other parties from downstairs came up to view the art work and just to take a look around the upstairs. I was annoyed because I didn't like people walking past my food and drinks. They should direct their customers to come upstairs using only the front staircase to avoid this type of issue because that just didn't sit right with me. My wife's entree was very good though and she enjoyed it. The server accommodated the issue with my entree which I was very pleased because he was very apologetic. All in all, my personal opinion, I would be okay with not returning. My experience wasn't one that so many people post online as spectacular! A lot of them notify these businesses that they are food bloggers in the order to get the spectacular experience. This obviously can't be said for people that spend their hard earned money just to enjoy good food.

I ordered multiple dishes to explore the menu and had both beef and goat it was my first time trying African cuisine, and I was pleasantly surprised by the bold, unique flavors. One standout was the yuca paired with egusi soup the balance between the two was excellent and really showcased the richness of the cuisine. I also appreciated that they provided a basin for hand washing, which added to the authenticity and comfort of the experience. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and patiently explaining the dishes. I even had the chance to meet the owner, who was very friendly and accommodating, even offering to make adjustments based on my preferences. My only concern was that the meat was a bit on the tough side, making it harder to chew. That said, it might just be part of the traditional preparation, and I’m simply not used to that texture. Overall, I highly recommend this place a great introduction to African cuisine with flavorful dishes and warm, welcoming service.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Levels in St. Louis, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The menu features a wonderful array of authentic Nigerian dishes that are bursting with flavor. Each bite transported me directly to Nigeria, showcasing the rich culinary heritage beautifully. The highlight of the evening was definitely the service. Chauncey, our bartender, truly exceeded our expectations! His extensive knowledge of both the drink menu and the cultural background of the dishes added a personal touch to our dining experience. He crafted exquisite cocktails that perfectly complemented our meal and was friendly and attentive throughout the night. The ambiance at Levels is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. I highly recommend trying the jollof rice and the suya – they were unforgettable! If you're in St. Louis, you can't miss out on Levels. A fantastic blend of great food, exceptional service, and a cozy atmosphere!

This place was pretty cool went for my birthday, love the decor. Food was good but I was not impressed with the jollof party plate. The flavors were there but instead of using chicken legs they substituted with wing drumsticks with the stewed tomato sauce which was not tender at all not sure if they were just out of regular chicken that day??? The egusi and fufu was fire though and loved the smokey rice with sweet plantain. Also the bathroom was lacking. This is a place that you eat with your hands and the bathroom had no paper towels or soap I let the waitress know but never got any. Luckily I carry my own hand wipes, but it would be nice if they offered wet towelettes like the seafood and wing places to wipe hands. Other than that I loved it and want to continue to support black owned businesses but hope they can at least provide a way to keep hands clean and dry.

When I travel to St. Louis, I already know I’m going to Levels. The staff members as well as the owner are friendly, willing to answer questions, and very personable. The food is delicious & the portions are good. I think the prices are reasonable as well… no more than what I’d spend on dinner at a nice restaurant anywhere. The traditional zobo drink is amazing & their mixed drinks are good too. Overall, I love the decor, the experience & will be back asap.

The food was delicious! I've been in search of a Nigerian restaurant for a very long time, so glad I found this spot. The Jollof rice with beef was amazing. I wasn't a fan of the egusi soup, but nonetheless their food and service was great.

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!

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!

On a St Louis did your and couldn't wait to try this spot. We try and visit a Nigerian restaurant in each city we visit. Unfortunately, we weren't able to taste the full menu. We came during the lunch hour where they have a limited menu. This rating may be updated if I can try the full menu. Lunch menu 11-2 Wednesday-Friday dinner 4-9pm We Ordered the Zobo and didn't taste as strong in ginger as I'm used to. Very mild flavor. But it was okay. Decided to get the beef Jollof box which came with jollof rice, plantains and Cole slaw. When it came there was 3 pieces of beef, 3 plantains, 2oz container of Cole slaw and the rice underneath. The rice was smoky but I wouldn't call it jollof rice. It was definitely missing a few components. It taste like yellow rice. No spice no tomatoes paste flavor. The beef was fork tender but a little dry when chewing and also lacking flavor. One piece of beef tasted like it was goat instead. Would have preferred the beef to be stewed to offer more flavor and sauce. The plantain was okay. I prefer fried plantain and not baked but it was pretty good. Overall for the price I'm not going to complain much but I don't think the lunch menu is worth it. Would more than likely not come for lunch again. Maybe I would try the dinner menu. Hostess stayed on her phone the entire time.

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.

I LOVE this restaurant! I went here on a first date, and everyone was so very sweet!!! Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, the owner came over to greet us, I got a tour of the cute art studio on the second level...it was amazing! I love that it's owned by an actual Nigerian, and the spices prove it! If you're looking for some good jollof rice, stew and dodo, look no further! This food reminds me of my dad who used to cook Nigerian food for us when we were little. He recently passed away, and going here reminds me of him, and it feels like home! Can't wait to go back!

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!

Great night vibe with great music. The decor was on point and fly! I felt as If i was in another world. I didn't get to try their food before their kitchen closed but I have heard amazing things! I will be back to eat there during the day!

So good!! My first time trying Nigerian food, and I loved it! The Party Jollof was sooo good, especially with the sides. I recommend getting it with the goat meat if you can, was cooked very well. My favorite dish though was the Efo Riro - it was so flavorful and tasty with the perfect level of spice. And the texture of the fufu was great with it. We got two dishes for two people, and did have some leftovers. The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing, good music, very vibey, but also has a homey feel to it - perfect for a date night or a larger party. They also have a bar, drinks were good. Will definitely be back!

Loved our experience at Levels! When you walk in, you notice the decor and Levels separates itself from the other restaurants well with their colorful patterns and African aesthetic. Our group of four ordered all different things and each dish was so flavorful and our waitress was so accommodating to any questions we may have had!

Chauncey was an amazing bartender very observant and very personable. Our food was fabulous, and very authentic. Our drinks were a perfect combo with the food. Stunning bar and atmosphere.

I really enjoyed this restaurant! Amazing amazing ambiance! Beautiful decor on the inside. This is definitely a restaurant needed for downtown St. Louis. The service was kind of lacking though...kind of had to wait long periods when asking for water. The food however was really good! The Jollof plate is definitely my favorite! Plantains were cooked perfectly and the egusi soup and fufu was right on point!! Loved my food experience, the lady we had was super nice but did love my service.

It's a vibe! This is such a great addition to downtown St. Louis. Recently went on a date night. I would suggest getting a reservation because it is definitely the new hot spot! The service was really great, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Now let's talk about the food, FLAVOR! Everything had so much flavor it was delicious but be warned their heat is not your average, lol. Party Jollof was HOT HOT HOT! The he Efu Riri with beer wasn't too spicy just packed with great flavor. I was so excited to get this I never had fufu! It did not disappoint. Their portions are generous. I would definitely recommend trying Levels!

We finally made it to Levels! It's a new Nigerian spot and it is #stlouispescatarianapproved @stlouispescatarians on instagram The flavors are so unique and adventurous. The space is so lush and green! Yes, it's like you're having dinner in the jungle. Give them some love! Tag us on the Tilapia dish!

I have been here twice so far. As a lover of Nigerian food, and my other favorite African places closing, I was ecstatic to try this place. The first time I attended, it was a soft opening in the summer. Our food took a very long time to come out but our waitress was refreshingly pleasant and kept us updated. They weren't busy that day but the fish took hours to be served. They served us some other Nigerian specialties as we waited. My main course has been delicious both times I attended. I usually get fish and jollof rice, plaintains, pounded yam or fufu, and/or efo riro. So yummy. My friends, who were all new to Nigerain food, all enjoyed their food. The second time I went, they served us water without any ice in a tiny cups and when we asked for ice, were told they were out. I don't know if their machine was down that day but you should always have ice, especially when you serve spicy foods. Tip to those wanting to try: If you are not a fan of spicy food, you should probably avoid the efo riro. The decor is really nice and it is a decent sized location. They are located on Wash Ave in a prime location. There was plenty of street parking and some lot parking. The selfie museum is nearby as well as a nice boutique hotel.I wish they had other locations in the county but this is just wishful thinking. I'll definitely keep coming back as long as the customer service and food is banging.

Place has a great ambiance, music was on the loud side which I was okay with but just fyi. The service was slow, pretty slow I'd say but once things finally got to the table were very tasty. The wings for the table and the server recommended the burger so I had it. It was really good, the plantains (which came after I took the picture due to a confusion) were delicious and I enjoyed those later at home, super good.

Wow! Thank you, Levels, for a wonderful eating experience! My family and I came by for an early dinner, around 5:30pm, after stumbling out of City Museum, which gave my 10 year old and my husband and I a great workout. My friend had recommended this restaurant and none of us had eaten Nigerian food before, so I was curious about it. When we entered, the look and mood of the restaurant suddenly brought back memories of West African bars and restaurants I used to frequent when living in Portugal. We were seated in an ample booth with plenty of space for more people than us three but oddly, the table was quite tiny in comparison (it was the kind of table at bars with space for only drinks, and perhaps one shared plate). In fact, we ordered 3 entrees, one for each of us, and had to eat strategically to balance and consolidate food on the plates to allow for space for the meal. I looked around and saw the other booths were similarly oddly paired: some had large tables that seemed more adequate for the size of the booth and for holding a meal, others were as small as ours. If I were to give a friendly recommendation, I'd ask to reconsider the booth/table dynamic. But once we bit into the food, all reservations flew away. What terrific dishes! I love goat so we ordered the pepper goat soup, an appetizer that the waitress said would be a small entree; the party jollof with fried plantains and spinach; and Efo Riro I was curious how Nigerians managed their leafy greens in dishes. We loved everything fully, though my son, who doesn't love spicy food as much as my husband and me, found the pepper goat soup too strong in kick (though he loved it aside from the spice). My husband is mesmerized with the pounded yam and will soon try to reproduce it. Levels, I'm only here another few weeks but I will look for a chance to return for one least meal! Thanks for terrific fare!

Fantastic food . Like really great . The jerk wings were tangy and nutty. The Jollof rice was smoky and spicy and rich . The suya burger was flavorful . The plantains and spinach ( afo rio ) were great as well . The zobo ( hibiscus +ginger +pineapple ) was so delicious that I didn't even miss the alcohol . The ambience is very stylish and photogenic . There is a gallery on the upper level with great acrylics . There was also a DJ was great music . By 8 pm on a Thursday , the place was jam packed . Levels is located very close to the Last hotel and the city museum downtown and parking was freely available in the evening . The server was very nice and made great recommendations. The service was slow though and food came out slowly . They also brought us fries instead of plantains . They replaced them but that took half hour . Portions are big and they do a lot of takeout business from what I observed. I might get takeout next time but I will definitely eat here again .

My wife and I visited Levels and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful and obviously well thought through. The food was packed with flavor, making it hard to put out forks down! The cocktails were unique and reminded me of specialty drinks that I've had on the African continent. The jerk wings were perfectly seasoned and unique, giving us a taste that we haven't experienced before. The jollof and spinach were also show stoppers! Our favorite of the night was the tilapia! Perfectly cooked, great flavors, and packed with a ton of fish. We can't wait to visit again!

The staff is helpful and friendly. The ambience is nice. We had a mixed experience with the food. As others have mentioned, the zobo is pretty tasty. The fried plantains are decent. The beef suya was disappointing because it was little dry. It came with some relatively mundane raw vegetables like cucumber, (store bought) tomato, and a whole bunch of red onion. The jollof rice plate, however, was awesome, and came with an ample portion. The pepper soup was also very good, a little spicy. Watch out for bones.

We tried out this restaurant and the food is amazing. The spices are out of this world. I am from Louisiana so good flavored food is nothing new for me but the flavors here were just so good. The atmosphere is really nice and pretty. They have art upstairs from local artist so that was an extra bonus. Our waitress Shauney was great and made our dining experience that much better. We are visiting from out of town but will definitely return when we come back to St. Louis! Thank you so much Level for a great dining experience.

I recently dined at Levels and it exceeded all my expectations. I got the tilapia plate, a delightful combination of perfectly cooked tilapia, flavorful spinach, Jollof rice, and sweet plantains. Every element of the dish was impeccably prepared, leaving me ready for a nap. This wasn't my first visit to Levels, and I must say, it's hard to pick which experience was superior. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a fantastic dining experience. Additionally, I must commend the attentive service provided by my waiter, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

Went here a few days ago & I have to say, the food was great! I had the party jollof with beef & it lasted me through lunch the next day. The serving size was really good. The staff was really nice and the ambiance was so beautiful. Overall, a great experience.

Had an AMAZING experience at Levels. The food was fantastic. I had the Party Jollof plate and loved every bite (even took extra goat meat to go)! Can't wait to work my way through the menu. The owner, overall vibe and waitstaff are also a big highlight. Must try!

The food here was so good! We tried the egusi and the jollof plate, and both were amazing. The atmosphere was also top notch. Service was super friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone!

Came to support the soft opening . Loved the decor and vibe. Service was very slow but staff kept us posted and we expected some glitches . I didn't know what to expect since I've never had Nigerian Food . I was so disappointed that we had a 5 pm reservation and they didn't have several dishes ready for the night including the Jollof rice . Our table of three had JERK WINGS - $18. Perfectly seasoned and good portion EGUSI SOUP - $26. Spicy was on point but dish came out lukewarm. We were too hungry to send it back . We had it with fufu but you can choose rice PLANTAINS (DODO) - $8 Fried . Very good I think this will be a great place once they get their flow together so I will be back in a month or two

As someone who loves Nigerian cuisine, I was really happy to see Levels open. Nigerian food is often softened for the American palate so the robust flavors are really tame and sometimes near bland to appeal to the large masses... I am honestly afraid to make a review lol Venue: esthetic design with beautiful mix of warm colors and nature themed decor bring you into a warm and inviting atmosphere. The warm colors and decor play homage to Nigerias flag colors and the richness of art and music definitely make the venue feel like it is upscale. Bar with tvs in the front and open space in the back. Downside is the restrooms are downstairs. 8/10 The owner, Ono and his beautiful wife even came out to greet us even though you could tell they were working double duty to help their staff and customers! They brought us chin-chin and explained it's a party starter type of snack (think hard fried dough pieces, slight sweetness that resembles that of a cake doughnut). Great hospitality even when slammed is always a plus for me 10/10. The food: I ordered the beef Suya. (Well done chunks of beef seasoned and served with pepper powder and red onion, tomato slices and cucumber.) For those who like a little spice this dish is for you. The veggies add a fresh and crispness with the meat. Was amazing! You can also get chicken Suya. 9/10 Jerk chicken and fries- these wings made me order a to go order to take home! They were flavorful with the right balance of jerk sauce. Fries were a battered well cooked fry. 10/10 Jollof rice: I got a side of Jollof rice (I ordered so much food already, but can't go to a Nigerian restaurant and not get Jollof!) I kind of prepared myself for the worst as I have yet to find a Nigerian place in stl that serves Jollof that to me is palatable... usually they are bland and instead of the robust flavors I expect it usually is bland and tastes like tomato sauce with some black pepper....but not Levels Jollof! I was pleasantly surprised how they managed to honor the flavors of traditional jollof flavors (the tomato, bay leaves, spices) while not making it bland. I went with 3 friends (one Nigerian and two non spicy food eating Americans lol) and we all loved it. I would absolutely go back and eat the jollof. Thanks Levels for finally providing an option for good Jollof! 9/10 Plantains: they were good- cooked while ripe, fried until a nice fry on the outside while tender inside. I'm as bias with plantains as I am jollof so I prefer a different texture for my plantains (fried, the smashed fried again cooked hard with salt). But one of the non spicy friends never had them and ordered more so I'll give it a 8/10 There were drinks but honestly I didn't take the time to really evaluate them but I was told they were well balanced and tasted good. I'll go again just to review the drink menu. Overall I'd give Levels a 9/10. Super excited to try it again!

Great food, service, and ambiance. The service was amazing and they were super busy but the waitress kept us informed, kept checking on us and was just such a joy. I the owner was personable and greeted us personally.

Great atmosphere, good food. Jollof rice was very good. Efo Riro was good as well. Plantains were good as well. We will visit again.

I love food that I can taste it's flavors! This place did not even ask me if I wanted their food smothered in hot spices. The problem with Nigerian spicey foods is the lack of balance with flavor. My mouth was on fire and could not taste anything but. I would appreciate if they asked the customers the spice level they are willing to try out. I had Yasun and it was hella spicy. I loved the jollof and their fries (not burning my tongue). I think I will go back just to give them another chance. Overall the service was great, they are welcoming and make the experience enjoyable. The place is quite cosy, so to say.

Fantastic! I will return: perfect portions, well-seasoned, helpful and delightful service. Try the hibiscus ginger drink--such an unusually refreshing drink!

Levels Nigerian is a fun experience in a swanky yet approachable atmosphere. The menu is very small - which to me says they are focusing in on the few items they specialize in. The service was rather slow and the waitress never even brought me my drink, but the food was very good! The decor is lovely and fun. The art gallery upstairs adds a unique and lovely twist to a small place. I'm glad we went, and we'd probably go again. However - if you cannot handle spicy food, this is NOT the place for you. If you're adventurous and looking for a new dinning experience, this is a great place to try.

First visit to Levels was amazing. From the hostess to our waitress everyone was friendly, attentive, and patient with my indecisiveness on what to order lol. The decor and ambiance of the place was really nice and meshed well together. I loved the inside from the walls, the background music, and the aesthetics in general were great. More importantly, the food was amazing and on point! Great flavors and a wide variety of options to choose from. A+ on the cuisine and dining experience in general, will definitely be back and recommend to others!

The food and atmosphere was great! Only criticism really was the degree of spice options and, to be fair, the lack of understanding what was/wasn't spicy is very possibly on me

The staff was amazing and met the owner! Food was so so good and you get a good portion size! They give you this nigerian snack while waiting for your food and that was AMAZING. Was able to talk with the owner after we ate and was so very nice! They also have an art gallery that you are able to go to which is super cool. Definitely a must try.

From the time we were seated (which took an hour), we waited another hour to receive mediocre Nigerian food. The suya arrived lukewarm, they ran out of jollof rice, the menu is limited. Our waitress was confused about what tables she was serving. The owner seemed to only talk to people at tables that had issues, instead of speaking to all the patrons. This restaurant can significantly improve on the flow of seating and serving people.

Flavorful authentic Nigerian food. Every dish we tried was excellent. Nice selection of unique and flavorful cocktails. The decor and interior design was very comforting and pkeasant. The staff was extremely friendly. The owner atopped by to visit. Sounds like they have exciting plans for expanding and br

Food was amazing. This is just what I needed. I loved the fufu and veggie green soup. And the juice and plantains. Thank you!!

Ambiance was great, food was okay. Seating was awkward, we had to sit on the very edge of the bench just to be close enough to the table to eat

I had the suya. It was just okay. I've head better. However I will go back and try something else on the menu. The drinks was pretty good

Started on a poor note: arrived at 7:55, reservation was at 8, was seated at 8:25. Slow and inattentive service ended up being a theme throughout the night. Goat appetizer and jerk chicken wings were the highlights of the meal. The "sliders" aren't sliders as both the name and the menu picture suggest - it's one burger with tough, well-done meat. Drinks were far too expensive, took quite a long time to arrive and aren't strong. Service was notably poor, some of the food was incredible, some of it left much to be desired. Recommendations would be to significantly improve service, make drinks stronger and bring them out faster, change the menu to reflect the reality of the dishes, and seat reservations on time.

The food was Delicious and well-prepared. The atmosphere and decor are amazing! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the cuisine.

Impeccable taste and superb hospitality! St. Louis Levels brings the essence of Nigeria to our plates. From the delectable jollof rice to the succulent suya, every dish is a delight to savor. This restaurant is a true masterpiece!

Great vibes!! The service was great! My girls and I went for a girls night out. We enjoyed it. My favorite was the Asun on the appetizer menu and the drinks are perfect. Food is very spicy.

Beautiful place and amazing food. Great service as well. All around great vibes, highly recommend

It's sad when delicous food is undermined by extremely poor bartending and table service. The two of us ordered cocktails along with our dinner. The food arrived in a very reasonable amount of time, but the drinks were nowhere to be seen. From our table we had a full view of the empty bar, and watched the bartender talking to a couple of women, fiddling with the TV remotes--and not making drinks. About 10 minutes later, one of our drinks arrived. Finally we were able to flag down our server about the missing drink. She returned from the bar with no drink in hand and said "I guess he got busy or something." That was the last we saw of her for the next hour! A full 45 minutes after we put in our order, my companion finally went to the bar to ask, and discovered the drink had been sitting unattended for who know how long, waiting for our missing server to bring it to the table instead of the bartender just walking it over himself. The ice had started melting into it. They did not apologize or take the $14 drink off the bill. Kudos to the chef on some amazing cooking, but just get carry-out.
