Before Adam Levine proved he was hilarious when he hosted Saturday Night Live, he kept his friends in stitches in New York on Monday.

Levine was spotted at The Mercer Kitchen around 2 p.m., an onlooker tells PEOPLE.

"He looked really laid back and seemed to be in a great mood," the source adds. "He was laughing a lot and was really enthralled in the conversation the whole table was having."

Joined by a group of guys and one girl – who was wearing a very big hat – Levine, 33, kept things casual in a gray hoodie and jeans.
