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.

    I always love coming here for work related meals, catching up with friends and even holiday “experience” dinners for the holidays. Sangria is my favorite in town and you cannot beat the views and fresh air. Parking is a breeze and after meal walk is always nice when time allows as the views are for miles— literally. Lastly—The staff also seem genuinely happy about their job, professional and truly make the guest experience wonderful. This means everything!

    Amazing location, outstanding service. Food is good but not extraordinary. Huge serving size, one order can easily feed 2-3 people. Recommend splitting portions. We would return

    Phenomenal ambience with a view of the city at night. Wait staff were friendly, accommodating, and prompt. Salads, poke bowl, and lobster bisque were delicious.

    Great ambiance. The view of San Diego city lights was phenomenal. We were a party of six and everyone loved their food. We will definitely come back.

    Was very disappointed in our Christmas meal at C - Level. Got there and they were very behind. Waited about 40 minutes and that was with reservations. The service was horrible, may be the reason had to wait. Overheard the people next to us saying they were waiting over a half hour for their dessert. Back to our experience. Our waiter seemed to have little experience in waiting tables. Zero personality. The meal was just ok. The desert wasn’t edible. The only thing I personally liked was the steak. Everything else was so so or horrible. Then or waiter who I will say again had zero experience gave me someone else’s bill which was much more than mine. They had 4 meals and one glass of wine. That must of been for the poor guy who had to pay $425.00 for that meal. Mine wasn’t much better, only $383.00. Will I do this again, I think not! In the past I had nice experiences but not this year leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry folks but you were a huge disappointment.
