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.

    Since it opened, C-Level has provided consistent levels of service, food quality and atmosphere. My friend’s Lobster BLT with bisque made me want to order it next time. She said I should. My Healthy Steaks on Fire salad was a good as I remember from many past visits. And Jessie’s service was above and beyond. Oh, and our cocktails were a great start, as were Jessie’s special coffees at the end!

    It was my favorite restaurant, and now there is no exceptional about it…. We dined yesterday with family who was visiting from Florida. Weather was so mean, condescending and rude. She kept mistaken orders, bring wrong staff, she told me all nonalcogolic wine was discontinued by restaurant. She aski refused to adjust my order to dietary preference, but when I saw that she adjusted to another lady, I demanded, no apologies were followed. When C level stopped adjusting orders to people dietary restrictions due to health issues,,, just shame….

    Everything was great except my piece of meat for the skirt steak/it was small and fatty and I almost sent it back, but I was with a group of people and didn’t want to damp the party . I had ordered this salad when I came here for lunch before and it was so good then which is why I re-ordered it. My companions enjoyed the other salads, including the warm spinach and club Louie the waiters and the waitress. Jesse were wonderful as well as the initial host.

    The warm spinach salad with grilled salmon added is delicious. However, they need to be more consistent with the ingredients. My friend and I ordered the same salad: she had tomatoes but only a couple of craisins whereas I had no tomatoes and loads of craisins. The server did bring more tomatoes when asked. The salmon was cooked to perfection. I ❤️ C Level!

    I have been regularly going to Clevel since they opened. They are always A+ in service and food. Buttt...yesterday the food was outstanding. Whoever is in the kitchen preparing the delicious food is doing a great job. Our waiter was so accommodating. He went above and beyond to make me birthday extra special. We ordered the portabella mushrooms on our salad and lobster blt sandwiches with sweet potato fries. The view and atmosphere were also perfect. Thank you for a great experience!
