    we had the most magical experience at sea level restaurant on Harbor Island in San Diego. What a beautiful day it must’ve been 80° with a clear sky overlooking the San Diego skyline. We were so fortunate to have my favorite waitress, Bernadette she has the best smile and the best attitude of any server, waitress waiter I know in all of San Diego county. And having gone there so many times in the past 10 or 12 years, we got to know the best assistant to server, his name was Jimmy attention to detail is unbelievable and he’s so pleasant and he recognizes us every time we come there we had a great experience and the food was incredible and I don’t want to say this out loud but my wife and I split the fish and chips and for an extra three dollars you get four pieces of fish instead of three love this place you can’t do better than an afternoon outside at C level.

    We started our meal with the Moule au homard (mussels in a lobster bisque). The tarragon and cognac really enhanced the dish. Since black truffles are in season they were offered in their specials menu. We ordered the linguine with truffles. It also had chanterelles and was fantastic. I believe it’s the best “mushroom” linguine I have ever ordered. The house salad was the perfect compliment. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in our food and wine decisions. If we lived closer, I’d probably become a regular. Bien joue.
