    Two friends flew in from out of town & I suggested we try C Level. Neither had been before. It was a sunny gorgeous day & we sat out on the patio. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We ordered the lobster Mac & cheese, fish & chips & shrimp & crab Louie salad. Everything was fresh & flavorful. They loved our lunch & would highly recommend it.

    The vibe is good, music, visuals and drinks where tasty. As far as the food the menu was very small only appetizer size plates. It could use 3 entree options. Overall a wonderful time.

    We cut a narrow path through the menu. She had a spicy margarita, I had the Oh Behave (a horchata/rum concoction that was most yummy). We split the queso fundido, and seriously, we could have stopped there, as we're apparently in our eat-like-a-bird era. But no, we plowed ahead, gorging on lobster tacos and enchiladas del mar--all of it was awesome and we each got down like three bites. These are not huge portions (nor are they small)--it is us, of woefully tiny stomachs. Oh well, go, go hungry. You'll be satisfied.

    The food was excellent. The service outstanding. Kind people, lovely atmosphere. We should have sat outside but thought it t be too chilly but the design and the heaters in that space would have been sufficient. Will definitely return, even if it is just to have that lamb again. Very yummy.
