Peter our server was excellent. We’ve had him twice with great service each time. The ahi tina chop is delicious and so is the harvest bowl. The ambiance is nice with a lively vibe. We will definitely be going back.

First time at C-level for a date night! We sat outside at table right next to water. The heaters made it comfortable and it was a beautiful view of the harbor! The server was great-perfect suggestions and attentive at the appropriate times. We had the oysters, artichoke fritters, wedge BLT, and filet. Then, the brownie sundae for dessert! It was all delicious! I will go back for the wedge BLT and sundae alone! It was a great dinner and would defintely recommend!
