Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deborah Scott

From the OpenTable editors: Sweeping water views and creative seafood, like everything-crusted ahi and a lobster and fontina BLT, set this bayside charmer apart. Not to mention a shaded patio, complete with heaters and a fireplace, which might be the prettiest outdoor dining space on Harbor Island.

    This was the second time we got service from the same person, it was bad I had to stand up from my table three times looking for her to get service.

    As usual, we enjoyed a great lunch at C-Level. The food was great with plenty of leftovers for my husband and the service was awesome as well. A perfect day for lunch on the bay. Thanks!

    Beautiful venue with great food my favorite is Chef Deborah Scott’s skirts on fire!, Brie, mussels for appetizers with a Bella Glos Pinot noir! Dinner out before the Theater was served promptly with no rushing. Having noticed Chef Scott enjoying a meal near me on the patio, I wasn’t able to say hello because of my timing to get to the theater, but she is a wonderful gracious woman who in years past went out of her way to say hello to me while at Indigo Grill! Take the time to enjoy the sunset over the bay with the downtown skyline!

    The food was mediocre, the server forgot one persons order so the three other diners were finished by the time her meal arrived. No apology from the server which was not nice.
