  • 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 three ladies each had the ahi-avocado-crab stack for lunch. Fabulous. We also had the artichoke fritters to start: perfection. Enjoy!

    We arrived a few minutes earlier to our reservation. Hostess greeted but immediately turned to talk to other co worker instead of checking us in first. We had to wait a few minutes before got Called in to go to our table. Initially we booked outside seating but the weather was a little chilly so we asked to change to inside which they were very accommodating and put us next to a window by the water with a beautiful view. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was generously portioned, nicely prepared and presented but tasted a bit bland. Overall was a nice experience.

    The views were spectacular, service was great, but the food was where it was at! The tuna melt was the best in my life and the fish tacos were incredible. My wife and I split every thing. Definitely coming back!

    The host went out of his way to accommodate our seating request. The waiter was extremely patient, as we occupied our table for a lengthy bit of time. We are all appreciative of wonderful service.
