Level Four, a distinguished restaurant situated within a classy boutique hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg, evokes the timeless elegance of older hotel dining establishments. It upholds high standards, presenting a menu that blends familiar dishes with an inevitable touch of Thai cuisine.

The author initially believed Level Four was located within the same hotel they were staying at, specifically the Southern Sun in Rosebank's Sturdee Avenue. However, this assumption was quickly corrected by a shuttle driver. It was clarified that the Southern Sun Hotel at 54 on Bath, where the author was staying, and the hotel hosting Level Four were, in fact, two distinct properties. Although only about a long block apart, this distance in Johannesburg means hotel receptionists typically advise guests to use an Uber or the hotel shuttle for transit between the two locations.

Fortunately, the hotel shuttle was readily available when needed, ensuring the author arrived promptly at 54 on Bath. This allowed them to meet cherished colleagues whom they hadn't seen in a considerable time, a common occurrence for remote workers who seldom interact outside of virtual platforms.

The group convened in the gorgeous bar on the fourth floor, where the author enjoyed wine while colleagues opted for whisky. This bar is notably named after a fancy gin brand, a sponsorship that apparently rotates periodically, indicating a dynamic and evolving atmosphere within the establishment.
