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.

    Best birthday/ anniversary! C level is one of my favorite restaurants! Awesome service, wish I could remember our waitresses name but she was amazing. Brought us a delish anniversary dessert which was an unexpected suprize! Everything came out fast and was excellent. The wagyu tar tar is my favorite. Thank you for a memorable experience! Excited to come back again!

    ANOTHER OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE. We sait at a table by the water (requested, and staff did a great job securing it for us and our 11 y/o grandson who got a major kick out of seeing the downtown Skyline lights come on). The food was excellent, as always. The server was 1st rate and friendly and attentive.

    The view is phenomenal!! For locals or visitors, you cannot beat the breathtaking views of the downtown and with the bonus of the Coronado bridge. Definite 5 stars on the view! Service was good, attentive but not overbearing, and food was good. The showstopper though is the view!
