    Our first time dining here even though it’s been on our list for awhile. We went for lunch so we didn’t experience the full menu but the lunch menu packed plenty of options. Very helpful, accommodating staff. The ambience is very nice and during day time provides a very pleasant view. The bar looked inviting but with 2 grandkids in tow that was not our destiny today but we’ll be back for dinner and sample the very inviting bar then. The food was a great offering of carefully sourced ingredients. We’ll be back to try more of the options but the Ahi sandwich, the fire grilled Salmon, the chicken sandwich and the Wedge salad were all flawless. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

    we had the most magical experience at sea level restaurant on Harbor Island in San Diego. What a beautiful day it must’ve been 80° with a clear sky overlooking the San Diego skyline. We were so fortunate to have my favorite waitress, Bernadette she has the best smile and the best attitude of any server, waitress waiter I know in all of San Diego county. And having gone there so many times in the past 10 or 12 years, we got to know the best assistant to server, his name was Jimmy attention to detail is unbelievable and he’s so pleasant and he recognizes us every time we come there we had a great experience and the food was incredible and I don’t want to say this out loud but my wife and I split the fish and chips and for an extra three dollars you get four pieces of fish instead of three love this place you can’t do better than an afternoon outside at C level.

    We have dined here several times and always had excellent service along with refreshing politeness of staff and the food is excellent. Large portions make sharing a meal filling and certainly worth the price for the quality and quantity served! Recommend highly.
