And of course the beautiful downtown San Diego skyline. You have three choices in this part of Harbor Island that are located right next door to each other, one being C Level. The daytime view is beautiful. The nighttime views are amazing. C Level shares the entrance with Island Prime. C Level offers a more reasonably priced menu and a more casual dining experience. We had the most delicious portobello mushroom veggie sandwich, served on a light and fluffy focaccia bread. Our cocktails were Deborah's Mai Tais, which had a coconut pina colada like taste to it. It liked it! C Level is a definite good spot to enjoy beautiful San Diego!

I must say the food is fresh, but the prices are completely ridiculous for what you get…read more I ordered two swordfish salads, one swordfish sandwich, and one bowl which was basically a cup of their seafood soup for $13 which was four bites for $95, Now let me explain, the pieces of fish looks like they're giving you a lot, but it's maybe 6 ounces that they pound out to the thickness of a piece of paper. So basically, two plates full of salad with five dollars worth of lettuce on either each and five dollars worth of a flat piece of fish for $50. Absurd. What they are charging for fish and what they give you is a total joke don't waste your money.. Will not be coming back here ever. I'm not sure why people come here, but you're paying retail on retail for their fish prices are out of control. They have Faroe island Salman for $28 a pound. I can buy the exact same Salman for $10 a pound. I understand the need to make a profit, but what they are charging for fish is a joke and how much they don't give you.

As soon as we got there our table was ready and it was really crowded, so I was glad we had a resy. The restaurant is beautiful and I loved the open aire vibe.

The chowder fries were delicious! The happy hour prices were very reasonable. We ordered drinks and multiple happy hour food items and were very satisfied. I will definitely be back when in San Diego!

I've been to Water Grill a couple of times now, and this place continues to deliver every time…read more There's something about it that just feels consistently good--from the food and service to the overall atmosphere. The seafood is always fresh, which is really what you want from a place like this. Their oysters and raw bar are definitely worth checking out, and you can tell they take the quality of their seafood seriously. Even the warm bread and butter is something people rave about, and honestly, I can see why. Service has also been great every time I've been here. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful without being overbearing. They're good at making recommendations and giving you time to enjoy your meal without making you feel rushed. The vibe is another big reason I like coming here. It has that upscale but still lively atmosphere where you can dress up for a nice dinner but it doesn't feel overly formal or stuffy. It can get busy and energetic, especially later in the evening, which actually works perfectly for the Gaslamp vibe. And speaking of location, you really can't beat it. It's right in the heart of the Gaslamp, so it's a perfect stop before heading out for some nightlife shenanigans. Grab some seafood, have a cocktail or glass of wine, enjoy the atmosphere, and you're already right in the middle of everything afterward. Whether it's a date night, dinner with friends, or just looking for a nice seafood spot downtown, Water Grill has been a pretty reliable choice for me. Good seafood, great service, great atmosphere, and an even better location. Definitely one of those places I don't mind coming back to.

Ordered two Caesar salads (quite small) and wanted to add a side of salmon. Was told we had to order the salmon dinner and they would substitute everything for the salad. It was - $58 per salad!!! The salmon was overcooked! Then we ordered a salmon roll $25 adding massago +$ 8 and it tasted so bad we returned it. I've eaten there before and it's been decent but this was awful. There is no reason why a $15.50 Caesar salad balloons to $58 just to add an overcooked piece of salmon that's barely 6 ounces!!!

We went here last week, and for a buffet, we were honestly really impressed! The price was very…read morereasonable considering the variety and quality of food they offered. One of the biggest highlights for us was the lobster, which is available on Thursdays only. They also had chilled snow crab legs and cold lobster claws, which was a nice surprise and definitely made the buffet feel like a great value for the price. Aside from the seafood, they had a huge selection of the usual buffet favorites, including sushi, shrimp, different hot dishes, sides, desserts, and so many other choices that it would be impossible to list everything. There was definitely something for everyone, and we had no problem finding plenty of things we enjoyed. The food selection was good, there were plenty of seafood options, and we felt like we definitely got our money's worth. If you're a seafood lover, I would recommend checking them out on a Thursday so you can take advantage of the lobster. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience. For the price, variety, and amount of seafood offered, we would definitely come back and eat here again!

We thought that coming for lunch on Saturday right call when it opened at 12 PM was the good call,…read morebut it was not quite on the mark. Roast duck was overcooked with a bad acrid smell, and it didn't have that oily crispy layer that you normally would get when it is fresh. All the dim sum looked like it was sitting in the steamers for a while, crab legs were overcooked so it came apart mushy instead of flaky. What happened? I'm guessing that they made all the food early in preparation for opening, but all of food tasted like it sat out for hours. The things that turned out fine, were the oysters, sushi and sashimi, and the prime rib that turned out to be rare.

We heard the seagulls may be an issue when choosing to eat outside, but personally, we had no problems. For the quality, the prices are absolutely reasonable. My only weak find was the Caesar salad dressing -- I found it a bit watery and less salty than most by-the-shore Caesar's.

Definitely would return and recommend the visit for the food and the beautiful harbor view, and the cool staff.

We had the salmon poke, house salad, a couple oysters and fish tacos. The fish tacos are HUGE so you really don't need two if you're trying other things or get a couple and share. Also really loved the salad, and they make their own dressings so even better and they top it with capers gave it that salty deliciousness. Fresh cut veggies and So good! The poke needed a little pizzaz so I added a little heat to it and soy sauce, I felt the flavors came out more well balanced. I did not enjoy the rice wonton chips (no flavor there) but you could eat the poke alone it was so fresh. My friend enjoyed the oysters. But those fish tacos!! I was not in love with the salmon, it was a little overcooked for my liking. Also the blackening did not have the kick I'd hoped for and is anticipated with blackened. But the grouper with the chipotle butter...hit hard! So good!!! I'd absolutely come back for those tacos. I woke up thinking about them. We may try their ocean beach location today, because they have cocktails that look pretty darn good along side those fish tacos. Parking is tough here, and the line was out the door after 5 pm...so plan accordingly...but 100% worth it. We were watching everything come out of the kitchen, and it is shockingly a well run machine. Things came out fast, looked beautiful and the flavors were well done. I'd like to try their grilled fish next time.

I jumped on Yelp and found Pete's Seafood and Sandwich close by, so we made a beeline to get there. We had dinner sitting at the bar and had a great experience. There is plenty of inside and outside seating, but we really enjoyed sitting at the bar. The food was prepared fresh, the service was good and the pricing was reasonable. Parking is a bit tough to deal with although they do have a small lot you can walk around to in the back. If we're ever in the area again we'd stop back in to try other menu items.

Mom had a wonderful birthday celebration so I'm happy. Thank you, Tom's, for making the evening special!
