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.

    Everything was GREAT. Food, drinks, service and the view! We had the most fabulous waitress…Jessie?? Can’t remember her name, but she took pictures of us and spent time with us (my friend was from Boise) and we were having a great time prior to her leaving. The waitress made the day. Thank you C Level for hiring outstanding people!

    Celebrating my Daughter’s Birthday. It was a beautiful sunny day. We had a table view by the harbor but it was extremely hot. We were hesitant to ask to move seats. We decided it was too uncomfortable to eat there. The staff moved us without a problem and we had a wonderful meal. We ordered Fish tacos and a Lobster BLT sandwich it came with a taste of lobster bisque soup. We had decided to share the meal, there was plenty to share . Took one of the three tacos home. After finishing up our meals the server presented a complimentary mini apple crumble pie for my daughter’s birthday with a candle. It was delicious and the service & staff was wonderful.

    Quality of the food is great, prices are average no complaints, I don't want to say the service was bad, it was slow and had to wait for drinks in between, they took a long time to take our order.
