    Definitely one of the best places we’ve dined at (familiar with the top end of restaurants in LA and San Diego), amazing view, service and the deluxe romance package for Valentine’s Day was amazing. 10/10 highly recommend.

    Shared a bluefin carpaccio followed by a quinoa salad with grilled fresh sea bass. Delicious. Sat at the bar and although the bartender was very busy, we never felt ignored. They had some nice wines by the glass and the Banjuls he suggest did go perfectly with the lemon tart. Highly recommend

    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!

    We went to Dockside 1953 to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. We wanted to sit outside by the bay, but the weather was chilly. We asked for a table with a fire pit. We were given that, and when I told Kelley (our server) that we tended to be cold, she brought over an additional heater and gave us both blankets! We enjoyed our delicious dinner warm and comfortable. Kelley was very conscientious and friendly, and took great care of us during our stay. We had a wonderful dinner and a fantastic evening. Thanks!
