Wagyu from $24 on the menu we read
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A Mediterranean restaurant on Smith Street in Cobble Hill listing a Wagyu Steak Tartare at $22 to $24 depending on service. The dish is named for Wagyu, but its own description says the beef is hand-chopped prime filet mignon, which is a different claim.
Authenticity flags
- This restaurant's menu names a Wagyu Steak Tartare and then describes it as hand chopped PRIME FILET MIGNON. USDA Prime is an American grading outcome and Wagyu is a cattle breed, so the two are different claims and the description does not support the dish name. Ask which beef is in the tartare before ordering it as Wagyu.

Common questions
- Does Levant serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 21, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Levant serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Levant listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
