Well, the title pretty much says it all. C-Level does it all so very well. Yes, you pay for it, but at the end of the meal, you are fine with that. C-Level may have the best view in San Diego. The food is consistently excellent. The service is beyond reproach - very knowledgeable and helpful. Pleasant. At first glance,... More

Great scenery and great food. What else do you need? Lobster bisque and albacore tuna were some of the best I've had

We celebrated a friend's successful presentation at the San Diego Conference Center before her flight back to NYC. This was just the right place: very friendly service, light tasty food and extraordinary views and light breezes.

Love this place, food always good, a bit pricey but you should have to pay for the million $ view. Great stopover on the way to the rental car drop off...like the adjacent Prime as well but even pricier. Aircraft carriers going by as you're having lunch, pretty cool!

It was my daughter's 21st birthday and a friend of hers had recommended C Level as a great place to have a special birthday lunch. Boy were they right about that. On a beautiful weather day in San Diego we enjoyed taking in the views of the bay and all the waterborne activity, human and animal, from our table. The... More

#1 We ate here twice during our stay in San Diego. We had the pulled pork sandwich and the lobster & macaroni & cheese. Both were excellent. Their portions are huge so you had better come hungry. The Caesar salad is terrific and so are the "old Bay " fries. The service was great as our water glasses were kept... More

This is right on the water with lovely harbor views. Good food, great ambiance. It's my favourite restaurant in SD.

With some even more spectacular weather last weekend, a trip to the outdoor patio of C-Level turned into a great full afternoon. Marge, our server, was pleasant and knew the menu inside and out. Some appetizer recommendations were just as described. Figured I'd ask, and they easily accomodated grilling up some Island Prime bone-in Rib Eyes - even before their... More

We have eaten several times at C-level because it is easy to find a parking place and the harbor view and the delicious food enhance each other. Ancient royalty probably enjoyed fine cuisine while watching similar panoramic views. But there is so much to see in the harbor. During our last visit for lunch, four of us were fortunate enough...

This was a very pleasant place to enjoy a lunchtime meal and the company of my cousin, who lives in southern California. There is an extensive menu of seafood, Mexican specialities, and typical American offerings, including the very welcome free bottles of water served to diners, which helps with the dehydrating Californian weather. There are great views of the waterfront... More
