We had a great time, the place is super nice and cozy, service is very welcoming, they even made special plates for us. The pastas are amazing sourcing the caccio peppe… e Will be coming back just for it. The pizza we had was not great, probably a but hard on the crust… next time I’d try one if the other pizzas. But over all a great experience

Food and service was outstanding. The must have dishes are the pork belly and venison tare tare appetizers, the oxtail gnocchi and Secreto entrees, and the date cake for dessert. The H&W Negron was also a stand out.

First time at C-level for a date night! We sat outside at table right next to water. The heaters made it comfortable and it was a beautiful view of the harbor! The server was great-perfect suggestions and attentive at the appropriate times. We had the oysters, artichoke fritters, wedge BLT, and filet. Then, the brownie sundae for dessert! It was all delicious! I will go back for the wedge BLT and sundae alone! It was a great dinner and would defintely recommend!
