About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    I make sure when I’m in San Diego for business to stop and have a meal at C-Level, today was special as I was able to share C-Level with my wife. I had never had lunch at C-Level, but the service and food - I had the fish and chips (I usually go for the Tuna that NEVER disappoints), and she had the Tuna salad sandwich which was huge. The Parmesan cheese finished them off perfectly. I will ABSOLUTELY continue to enjoy and meal at C-Level whenever I’m in town!

    Beautiful atmosphere, we sat on the patio, right on the water. We had the nut crusted brie and my friend and I shared the wagyu burger. It was cooked perfectly, tasted delicious and the parmesan fries were so good. My one critique is there are not a lot of entree options, but the options they give you have a decent amount of variety. Highly recommend!

    We were here with a large party for a graduation dinner. The service was excellent as we were never rushed but there was always someone checking on us or bringing us food. Everyone loved what they ordered:lobster bisque, chicken piccata, pappardelle, burgers, and fish and chips to name a few. Didn’t realize we were dining during Happy Hour, so all of the apps and drinks were a great deal. Thanks to our server Shawn who was so attentive and kind and even took tons of pictures of us in another area of restaurant. We will definitely be back when we get to San Diego again.
