    Went to celebrate my birthday with family and friends, the restaurant exceeded my expectations!! We had a 9pm reservation and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. We were greeted by the host who immediately sat us once the table was ready, although the kitchen was closing soon our food was hot and fresh and the drinks were amazing!!! We had the best expresso martinis in San Diego. We will be back!

    We will say that we very impressed with the service and food C-Level - Seafood & Steakhouse Restaurant. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining. We decided to dine outdoor by the bay. The views of the bay from the restaurant was definitely great and watching the sailboats was definitely relaxing. Our server was definitely great and so were the other staff members. They were all very friendly, professional, attentive, and informative. Our server, Avery, was very welcoming and her enthusiasm and friendliness definitely made our dinner memorable and fun. She was great and even served Chuck a cake that said Congratulations. Thank you Avery for a wonderful experience. The food was delicious. Everything from our appetizers, main dishes, and desserts were wonderful and cooked and seasoned perfectly. We definitely will back to try more if thier dishes. This restaurant is definitely one to try. From the beautiful views, to the wonderful staff, and the delicious food, we definitely will return. 1.cedar plank salmon squid ink linguini, chipotle mojo sauce, cotija cheese, cucumber salsa, dill moletta, chili glaze. 2.sterling angus ny strip 12 oz. served with broccolini, mashed potatoes, red wine demi-glace. 3. Crispy Calamari with vietnamese dipping sauce 4. Crispy Artichoke Fritters with parmesan, lemon-caper aioli 5. Retro Island Prime Mud Pie Mountains of coffee ice cream over a chocolate ganache, homemade fudge 6. Strawberry Short Cake

    Excellent service, bartenders are attentive, give good recommendations, are kind even when people are drunk, and of course the drinks are killer. Their own take on classic tiki drinks alongside some of their own creations. They also list how boozy they are which is essential for tiki as some are very strong. Expected cocktail bar prices but nothing ridiculous. The decor is spectacular - a mix of a crashed spaceship and alien cave with fun details everywhere. There’s also a custom soundtrack that’s a mix of krautrock rhythm, synths, guitar, and electronic elements to set the mood. Didn’t have any cooked food, only soft serve, which was masala chai and vietnamese coffee which was excellent. Will be recommending this to everyone in SD.
