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.

    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.

    This place has an amazing view of the San Diego skyline. I recommend going close to sunset. The skirt steak salad is amazing. I’ve had it twice and highly recommend. Very good value too.

    The food was excellent as usual. Our server Omar was not attentive to our table as other tables around us. We seemed to be invisible except to deliver the food and the check.

    I don’t like seafood but my girlfriend does. I was happy that they had a few non-seafood options. And they were good. They split plates for us so we could share and we’re hospitable and attentive

    Great location. The service was not as good as I expected. After asking in my reservation to make this night special for my wife birthday it wasn’t special at all. The Host was the only one who wished my wife happy birthday. I expected just a little more ……. That being said I was disappointed. We came to visit for Austin and this place was a huge disappointment.
