    Everything about our lunch was great. The food was delicious, as was the ambiance on the patio. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The Oriental chicken salad and the tuna melt were more than generous portions. I recommend C-Level as an excellent luncheon destination in San Diego.

    This was my first time to this location in Mission Valley. Love it! The servers were outstanding (thank you Ken) and the food was great. Recommend the Thai Shrimp salad, the pumpkin donuts, and white pizza.We sat outside and the tables were spacious and not cramped at all. They had shade sails which reduced the sun exposure. Parking is a little challengin but they have a valet if you prefer to avoid waiting for a spot. Will definitely we back again.

    We had a lovely new years brunch (though I do wish they actually served brunch fare). Everything was very delicious! The service, while very friendly and accommodating, got a little slow toward the end as it got busier, which is understandable. It would’ve been okay except we were in a booth that was one of two they have for parties of six but maybe six short, slim people? Pretty uncomfortable, especially in that corner spot, I spent the whole meal with my arms up over the back of the booth. I’m chubby but the rest of my party were regular sized men and one slim woman and we all felt squashed. But otherwise, a beautiful meal on a lovely day.
