I wonder why the concrete strip is two different heights? If it were all the same it wouldn't be so egregious. You could put a bench flanked by a couple of large planters there. Or a long enclosed trough planter. But don't build a bed directly against the wall.

Paint it a color that blends better with the brick. You could even have it faux painted to resemble the brick complete with shading and mortar lines.

You can probably find a faux stone veneer that closely matches what you have and have a mason install it.

I had a stone guy put a thin layer of limestone (like a veneer) across my concrete blocks to hide them.
