    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've been here about 4 times now and each time the food is delicious and complex, no matter what we order. The service is wonderful. This last time we brought our kids, which I was a little nervous about (4&7), but they had helpful food options for them and we felt very welcome and comfortable. Nice place for a date night or a group - very versatile and the location is great for a after-dinner walk.

    Booked the Arlo based on Open Table reviews while visiting San Diego for a conference. We had a group of 5 served by the amazing, Anthony! I mention him because his service truly made our experience more enjoyable and having exemplary service that stands out is truly such a joy! Food was great, cocktails were even better. Would return for another meal without hesitation!
