    Delicious dishes! A treat for our vegan friends to have such variety, and for omnivores-they didn’t miss a thing. Everything is very flavorful and the ambience is very energetic.

    It was my 23rd birthday and my first time at Wilma’s Carousel Bar. I absolutely loved it! I didn’t get the name of our waitress but she was so sweet and very attentive. There was also a live band who sounded amazing. The food and drinks were delish. Overall, my experience was great and you should definitely go!

    Christmas night, dining outdoors on the patio, cozy heater next to us, tender prime rib and hot mashed potatoes, a good wine, and just enough attention from our server, Maurice. What's not to love? Cohn family dining in beautiful San Diego! Happy New Year, everyone! (I did ask them to please turn down the volume on the...uh... lively Christmas music so we could visit, and they promptly obliged.)

    This is my go to for business lunches and special events. Food and service at or above expectations. The views are amazing. Selection and quality provides something for all. Custom food requests don’t seem to cause issues. Lunchtime parking is ample and has been free when we go. They may regulate parking sometimes so call if that is a concern. You can’t go wrong with the Cohn family of restaurants, with C-Level being one of their premier locations.
