The front of house female attendant on Sunday evening 30th October 2022 ignored us for 10 minutes waiting to be seated I asked her for our table and she abruptly said she was too busy totalling dockets and will get a waitress to take us to our booth Talbot when available. Then at 6.25pm, 25 minutes after arriving I had to ask a table cleaner if we could order a drink and food he informed me he wasn’t a waiter but would find someone, 10 minutes later we finally got service. I asked when booking for a booth table but the table we got was like a chicken coupe against the glass doors looking directly onto the public outside with no privacy and we both felt so uncomfortable with people glaring in from outside… we felt like manakins in the Myer Christmas windows… one waitress serving outside was so efficient and we wished she was serving us, the others inside never smiled they looked totally miserable and looked as though they didn’t want to be working…management need to look at this business deeply, no professionalism no warmth… staffing needs to be revalued with people that want to smile and be courteous and not make the customer feel lowlife.. disgusting experience from start to finish… management need to employ Gordon Ramsey to fix what you are doing so badly… I have never experienced anything like Levee world wide… never touch this place again used to be good but they have lost the plot….take the money and run attitude.. you may get the customer once but this customer they won’t get twice certainly was not worth the $100.. ruined out...

Was really disappointed. My glass for water was foggy, and it had something stuck to the bottom of it that hadn't been washed off. The cup my coffee came in was heavily stained with scratches in the stains, though the coffee was well made. The meal I ordered wasn't available with my dietary needs, so I had to keep changing my order until something was found. I usually order off the kids' menu as I don't eat much, and they usually have safe options for me, but theirs is for 13 and under only. They said the steak was the only option, and as I didn't have a price available as they'dtaken the menu, I assumed it wouldn't be that much more. It was double the price of my previous order options. They also hadn't amended my order when I paid and nearly charged me extra for sauce I didn't order. I understand not having food options available when allergies are involved, but to be stuck ordering a nearly $50 meal, which was a steak with a few salty chips and a small amount of veggies, and no discount with the reduced sides, seems pretty unrealistic. I've never been somewhere that didn't allow ordering off the kid's menus, as they are supposed to be cheaper for the smaller portion, and it really threw me off. Needless to say, I won't be returning. Staff were very nice, but I'm not paying those prices for something I didn't even want and wasn't worth the cost...
