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.

We had an amazing experience at The Henry. The booth was extremely comfortable which is very important to me. Our waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Upon knowing that we were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary he gave us a complimentary glass of champagne. We ordered the short rib pot stickers and egg and bacon salad which were delicious. I had the rotisserie chicken- amazing, Mac and cheese -divine and my husband had the filet- perfection. Then they gave us a complimentary chocolate fudge pie for dessert. Overall one of the best experiences we’ve had In Coronado. Highly recommend!!
