About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • 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.

    We love C-Level! Today we were celebrating my wife’s birthday and our kids were with us. The ahi stack is our go to and did not disappoint. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp. For our main dishes, several of us had the lobster BLT w/ lobster bisque. Best thing on the menu! The fish and chips were fine but nothing special. The service was very good too! Overall we had a great meal and celebration!

    C-Level is our go-to place when we're in San Diego. C-Level has the absolute BEST view of downtown San Diego on Harbor Island. The meal was great, the server Nelson was attentive, but not hovering. C-Level has the right vibe!
