Great ambiance and service. Food was just ok, both dishes were burnt a little which really impacted the flavor. The area can get crazy but parking was super easy for me.

Our server, Emerald, was amazing. She was knowledgable about the menu and gave us suggestions based on our diets. The food was fantastic, served quickly and seasoned to perfection. We enjoyed our visit and if we lived in San Diego we’d be here weekly!

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.
