    Definitely one of the best places we’ve dined at (familiar with the top end of restaurants in LA and San Diego), amazing view, service and the deluxe romance package for Valentine’s Day was amazing. 10/10 highly recommend.

    My husband and I were delighted with Prado’s Valentine special evening. The scallops with spinach and ricotta ravioli in Romeo sauce were outstanding. Service was great, especially considering that it was busy. We were served an incredible chocolate dessert and a sparkling wine toast. The entire evening was charming.

Hubby’s chile relleno was one of the best he’s had (he even asked to tell the chef personally!) Strawberry mint margaritas were delish too-refreshing! We’ll def come back!!!

    Since it opened, C-Level has provided consistent levels of service, food quality and atmosphere. My friend’s Lobster BLT with bisque made me want to order it next time. She said I should. My Healthy Steaks on Fire salad was a good as I remember from many past visits. And Jessie’s service was above and beyond. Oh, and our cocktails were a great start, as were Jessie’s special coffees at the end!
