  • team dinner, party of 9
    Came here for a team outing with a group of 9 for their restaurant menu. The deal was $60 for appetizers, a main and a dessert. The food was good but portion sizes of our mains were pretty unimpressive. Desserts were larger than our mains which seemed silly as it was individually given. But overall still delicious. A good corporate spot
  • company holiday party
    My company had the holiday party at Casa Lever. It's very nice place with extremely hospitable staff.
  • birthday dinner
    A good friend of mine hosted us here for her birthday and it was a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful, and the service is impeccable. We had a fixed menu and everything was delicious. The drinks were also great and I really recommend this place for celebrating a special day or just for any occasion really
  • birthday dinner
    Made a reservation with a birthday event - nothing no happy birthday no dessert— when confirming the appointment they stated it was for a birthday event. Would have paid for extra no mention. Then our waiter didn’t show for 20 mins had another lady take our drinks. Ordered ate no waiter to be seen I flagged another waiter down for dessert and ordered. Would never go back. Food was ok but service definitely would have ordered more food and drinks if waiter came over.
  • friends night out, party of 6
    I recently visited Casa Lever with a group of my six friends, we loved the vibes of the palce and had the pleasure of being served by Bibo. He gave us the best experience from start to finish. It was my first time being truly surprised by a bartender’s knowledge, and the best part was a his passion for every drink which we got that night.
