Rate: 3.5 stars. Went here for date night with my husband on a Saturday. We've been to their neighbor Island Prime twice and enjoyed it, so we decided this time to try C level.

C level doesn't take reservations so we came around 7:50pm and waited about 50 minutes before we were seated, which we expected.

We were seated next to the ocean and the view was gorgeous!
I ordered a drink: "Endless Summer" and it was delicious! If you're into sweet alcoholic drinks, get this.

The reason I ultimately went with 3 stars instead of rounding up to 4 was because although service was good, the food wasn't as impressive and I thought it was just okay.

Appetizers: these actually took forever to come out. A table that sat down after us while we were ordering got their appetizer first.
-Chef Deborah's Pepita & Sesame Crusted Brie: it was good but not as good as I imagined. Flavor was mild, maybe needed a sprinkling of salt, and I think the cheese would've paired better with crusty bread rather than pita for more contrast. The salad it came with was good though.
-crab cake: came with one crab cake but it was yummy!

Mains:
-lobster Mac and cheese: my husband's choice and I thought it was okay. I felt like it was missing something. Maybe crunchy breadcrumbs? Green onion or chives? Idk. The salad it came with was tasty though and good contrast to the Mac and cheese.
-Steak Frites: I got the New York and it was cooked to my liking, medium-rare. However, the pesto sauce was missing some sort of nuttiness to it. It's my personal preference but I thought it tasted too herb-y (if that makes sense). Fries were crispy and salad was good!

Dessert:
-mud pie: I think they kinda overdid it on this dessert! It was huge!! I think it's meant to serve at least 4 people. It was okay but way way way too big a serving.

Overall, it was a decent experience and I'd probably come back for brunch but not for a dinner date night. If you want a date night type, go for Island Prime next door!
