Resting on stilts atop San Diego By C Level Lounge, is an upscale-casual lounge on the waterfront overlooking the city skyline and Coronado.

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.

    C-Level is one of our faves. You can’t beat the view of the city over the Bay. The menu is interesting, dishes well-presented and super-delish; and the service on all levels is friendly and highly professional.

    The cuisine is excellent and the view is superb. Our waiter was outstanding - he explained the menu, refilled our beverages, was patient when we lingered to chat - just perfect.

    Service was outstanding! Food was really good but due to the rain that evening it was chilly on the patio because the plastic blinds couldn’t close.

    Today was a little cooler than usual and the outdoor heaters weren’t very effective. The food is great, ahi tuna stack and coconut shrimp appetizers were super tasty. We had a nice bottle of wine and finished off the the lobster BLT - best thing on the menu. Includes a small cup of lobster bisque!!! So yummy and it’s so large you share. Overall another successful lunch with friends at C-Level!!

    The view, as always, is fabulous and the food was terrific. I got Skirts on Fire salad and it was great. It was Prom Night for a few high schools and several Prom goers were having dinner at the restaurant. It was fun to see them all dressed up in their beautiful clothes!

    Another lovely experience - but this time for lunch. Coconut shrimp and skirts on fire salad - both amazing! Great beer selection and good variety of cocktails. It was very chilly so I was nervous about being cold but they had a ton of heaters. Continues to be one of our favorite appts!
