    We arrived early and went to Happy Hour, which was cozy with a fireplace and good appetizer: calamari. All the servers were super friendly and helpful. They seated us at a comfortable booth and we had the house salad: full of healthy and yummy ingredients. The swordfish and risotto was amazing. It was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. Others enjoyed the ahi. We have been to many Brigantines: this is the flagship and in my opinion is the best for food and service. My cousin whose is a pilot is going to recommend to other flight crews. Also a close walk to lovely scenery at Shelter Island. Thank you.

    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.

    First we enjoyed happy hour on the patio. The oysters' price and quality was excellent as were the happy hour drinks. We went inside for dinner where we had a reservation. The view from both the patio and the dining seats were beautiful as we were able to see the view of the bay and downtown both in daylight and as the sun set. We enjoyed the asparagus and corn salad and the salmon entree--both excellent!!!
