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.

    Noticed that the menu was reduced from previous visits. I order fish and chips. Instead of fillets it was three fish sticks for $26. Took an out of town guest. Should have gone to Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.

    Incredible view of the water and the Coronado bridge. Excellent service. A bit expensive, but understandable given the gorgeous location.

    Amazing celebration after our wedding. The food is always great and our server, Jessie was cheerful, appreciative of our celebration, brought a mud pie as a wedding cake and genuinely joined in to make our experience so festive and joyful! The bay was beautiful with clear blue skies. It could not have been better. Thank you for helping us celebrate the day.

    Everything about our lunch was great. The food was delicious, as was the ambiance on the patio. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The Oriental chicken salad and the tuna melt were more than generous portions. I recommend C-Level as an excellent luncheon destination in San Diego.
