We tried this waterfront restaurant on a random day while searching for a place with a view, and we’re so glad we did. The ambiance was beautiful, and the customer service was incredibly kind and helpful. We chose to sit outside, and the combination of the stunning views and relaxing atmosphere made the experience even better, all at a very affordable price. Place is kids friendly with kids menu. We started with the spicy tuna on crispy rice (which, by the way, is discounted if you visit between 3:00 PM and 5:59 PM), followed by a non-vegan pizza and drinks. The menu is budget-friendly, and given the great service and vibe, we promised ourselves we’d definitely be back.

The two stars are only for the view and the service before we ordered our first round of drinks. After that? Absolutely downhill. I had to hunt down service — for drinks, for appetizers, for what was supposed to be a birthday celebration. Nothing about this experience felt like hospitality. It felt like we were an inconvenience. I even complained to someone named Oscar, who promised to “make it right.” He didn’t. No check-in. No follow-up. Nothing was made right. $210 later… I left frustrated, embarrassed I chose this place for a special occasion, and absolutely certain I will never return. South Bay has too many great spots with beautiful views and real service. This isn’t one of them.

Fabulous meal at Sea Level!! Loved the outside seating after being on a plane. The Tuna on Crisp Rice and Grilled Octopus were outstanding!! The rice adds a nice texture. And perfectly cooked octopus!! So tender!! Great sauce. And we also had the Brussels Sprouts and Goat Cheese pizza with a prosciutto add-on. Really tasty. Great crust!! Also loved the Lavender Smoke cocktail with mezcal.

The views at Sea Level in Redondo Beach are beautiful. Sitting by the water with boats in the background and a glass of wine in hand feels peaceful and easy. The seating is comfortable and the firepit adds a nice touch. The food was okay, but it’s really the atmosphere that makes it worth a visit.

Here’s the deal. I’m a local. Been to Redondo beach location and Manhattan Beach location many times. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is the best. The view is awesome. Happy hour is an amazing deal. However, if you show up within 30 minutes to happy hour ending, they will NOT give you a HH menu. And they will delay coming to your table. Same at the bar. Super slow service. HH is daily 3-6pm. Update** I waited 10 minutes at the table, no one came. Went to the bar. Waited 30 minutes for my drink. When I asked where my drink was, they acted like they had no idea that I had even ordered. What is happening???

Have lived in the South Bay now several summers and this place seems to lack any type of vibe. However, super stoked to swing by last week and enjoyed their happy hour. The filet bites are a must-have at 10 bucks. Unfortunately right on the water, creates a wind tunnel no matter what time of year. Even 75° out that wind comes in off the water hits the hotel and it's always cool there wherever you sit. You would think by now someone would have figured out how to engineer around that. The marina is nice, not a homeless person in sight so that's always a bonus. Service is a bit slow, not sure what they're doing or if they have an old ticket system, but sometimes takes 10 to 15 minutes to get your drink after order. Get with the program and 2025.

Victor was amazing and got us right in and accommodated us like we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. He even gave us a candle light dinner with a last minute request to surprise my lady. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be returned when we come back to town!

The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. My partner and I were so thankful that they were open Christmas Day and it turned out to be one of the best Christmases ever!

Had lunch with a friend yesterday. It was a beautiful day so we opted to eat outside with a wonderful view of the marina. We both had the lunch special and we both selected the clam chowder and half turkey club sandwich. The soup was not your usual chowder, thickened with flour or cornstarch, but a nice broth with lots of clams and potatoes. The sandwich was nicely toasted with turkey, bacon and cheese and the usual lettuce and tomato. The half sandwich was plentiful with half of that to take home! We shared some fries which arrived hot and crispy. Service was outstanding and made sure our drinks were cold and we were comfortable. The only negative I have is that the tables by the windows had a solid box-like pedestal so that you could not put your legs under the table, which became a little uncomfortable after a while. This is a wonderful place to take out of town guests to show them what Southern California dining is like with a beautiful view of the marina.

Me and the wife came here for the Dine LA experience. 1st the Menu for the Dine LA event has plenty of options and all of the portions are regular size meaning they were huge. The restaurant sits right next to the Marina with all the wonderful views and smells of the ocean. The restaurant is small and intimate but has plenty of seating outside with plenty of heaters. The food was so good we had the grilled chicken Cobb salad, lobster Mac, steak and frites, and the chocolate lava cake for dessert. The steak was cooked to perfection and was tender and flavorful no need for any sauce. The chicken on the Cobb salad was delicious and the salad was fresh and really big. The service was great even though the place was packed and really busy. My wife had a lychee martini that was delicious and had a pretty presentation. This place will be one of our new spots for sure and we were told that the happy hour is every day with most items priced at 10 bucks for a place like this you can't beat that deal. I highly recommend this place. I suggest you all give it a try..

We love this restaurant and have been there multiple times. Tonight was my wife's birthday and she choose Sea Level, I made reservations well in advance asking for a back table near the marina, our table was reserved for us and just after we were seated the couple in the table next to us exited their table, being that it had the fire pit in center of table I went to ask hostess if we could move to that table which she ok'd. I do not know the waiters name although at least 3 times prior her served us. Just after we sat at the table that waiter first told someone else, "did you see what just happened back there?" and then he came to our table admonishing us and I explained I had spoken to hostess to which he didn't even hear, he just kept on with his tirade and the second time I told him he finally realized his error and at that point I advised him he would not be our waiter, once he left I wanted to leave the restaurant and my wife wanted to stay. I wish to acknowledge Oscar, I am not sure although he was at least a manager, he came to our table asking if everything was ok, rather than telling him the experience I simply thanked him for coming to our table. Oscar went out of his way for us and after dinner he have us a tour which we enjoyed. My compliments to Sea Level and I am sure Sea Level knows of Oscar's value to the restaurant.

Truth be told, every restaurant is above sea level. The day was cold and windy outside seating was ok but not great. One suggestion waiting staff should remember what's on the menu and how it's cooked so they don't have to go back and forth without any solutions. The clam chowder was ok, the Chicken Empanadas were soggy, not crunchy, the Steam Musseles in the wine & garlic sauce were good, Chinese Chicken Salad was ok. Overall our brunch and service were just ok. Next time we'll go to one of the other sea-level restaurants nearby.

We celebrated my birthday month at the AQUA Night rooftop lounge and reserved a VIP table -- and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. They have the Aqua nights event only during summertime and been wanting to go for sometime now. Finally, WE did! From the moment I made the reservation with Miah, everything was seamless. She was incredibly accommodating and made sure all of my requests were taken care of. The night was even more special thanks to a surprise from my cousin, who brought a birthday cake. Our server went above and beyond by preparing everything so perfectly -- the cake was brought out right as everyone was ready to sing, which made the moment unforgettable. With a stunning sunset view, delicious drinks, and great finger foods, this night was simply unforgettable. I'm so grateful for the amazing service and the memories made. Thank you so so so much, Sea Level!

This was such an excellent restaurant all around. The host was exceptionally kind, and when it was mentioned that it was my birthday, she went out of her way to give me a beautiful spot with a stunning view of the marina. The most gorgeous sunset right on the harbor. I had such a lovely night. We had excellent service, and the food was so delicious it was unbelievable. Our waitress was too kind and checked on us regularly. Just a gorgeous restaurant, ambiance, and style. Makes you feel luxurious. Definitely felt spoiled!!Thank you

Wow great views, and friendly service and hospitality. This is located inside the Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach, next to Cheesecake Factory. Cool and modern interior with outdoor seating for great views of the water. We loved the Beer Battered Fish & Chips and the Mahi Mahi Tacos. My wife got their lunch option of soup + salad which she enjoyed the Clam Chowder & Avocado Toast. My daughter loved the Margarita Pizza. Highly recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised to arrive for an early lunch on an overcast Saturday & see about half the tables unoccupied. Parking was easy to find at a meter, so lunch started off great. We were greeted warmly & seated immediately. Our table on the water was perfect for the views. Though if it was a full sun kindof day, it would have been a scorcher for me with no umbrella. All the food was beautifully presented & delicious: Sea Level big breakfast - fluffy scrambled eggs, fantastic bacon, excellent potatoes & fluffy buttermilk pancakes Blackened Mahi tacos - 2 extra fat tacos on chewy handmade corn tortillas, served w/tortilla chips & cotija-topped black beans Server Adrian was warm & efficient, and really made this lunch experience 5 stars all the way. Highly recommend!

We visited for Dine LA week and had a wonderful meal. The portions were huge and our waitress Tamara was lovely. My husband got the San Francisco sourdough, steak frites, and chocolate lava cake. I had the Cobb salad, lobster Mac and cheese, and lava cake. We'd recommend all!

It's like a sports Bar, in front of the Marina in Redondo Beach. The food is fine but don't expect but a Sports Bar. What Í have to accept is that the service is very good and the cocktails are excellent !!! The ambiance is festive with people enjoying and loud and the prices affordable. It's worth to treat it...

Great spot for Sunday brunch with great vibes all around. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is a must--we get it every time! This time, we also had the avocado toast and hot pastrami sandwich on rye, and everything hit the mark. Sat out on the patio soaking in the marina views with live music in the background. Totally worth checking out if you are in the area.

This was a great place to have dinner with family, right on the marina. We had a really good meal with here. The menu had a ton of options. I appreciate a full keto option, so we decided to go with the NY steak with cauliflower puree and hen of the wood mushrooms. The steak was huge, perfectly cooked and seasoned. I really enjoyed the accompanying sides. The cauliflower puree was so creamy and the mushrooms were woodsy and tasty! Our table also had the lobster Mac & cheese, pan roasted seabass and the Linguini del Mar. Everyone raved about their choices, especially the Mac & cheese. Great service and beautiful views.

Wow, talk about a return to perfection. Oscar could not have been more gracious in reaching out and offering us another opportunity for my son's birthday. Unsurprisingly, the food was spectacular. As I've mentioned previously, they have the greatest hamburger I have ever eaten in my life. This must be my 20th visit and I have stopped ordering anything else. But more importantly, the service rose to the occasion. I had had an opportunity to meet Oscar in person and all I can say what a lovely human being. My children were ecstatic, the service was excellent and the food made me want to go work out, lol. I challenge anyone to eat the sea level burger and not feel like they have tasted a little bit of heaven. Kudos to the leadership for making up for an anomaly. I will be back again for my 20-something visit very soon.

Great food- loved their filet bites during happy hour. Espresso martinis and speciality cocktails were excellent. Nice ambiance next to the water/marina with great outdoor seating and lounge style seating with heat lamps and wind barriers. Friendly and helpful service with easy valet parking that takes cards

Heard this was a rooftop restaurant so was disappointed to find it was not but I suppose when we arrived and they said the restaurant is called sea level made sense. It's at sea level. They have happy hour 3-6 I believe it was and we ordered the tuna crispy rice, margarita flatbread and a beer. $12 for each food item and $7 for beer. Tuna crispy rice - good!! Not a big portion for $12 so only get it during happy hour or it's not worth it. Came with five bite sized pieces. Margarita flatbread bread - lame. It's just bread with sauce and a few small slices of mozzarella cheese that doesn't nearly cover the whole flatbread. The cheese covers less than 50% or the flatbread. Do not recommend and definitely wouldn't pay more than the happy hour price. Service - good for the most part. The waiter was really nice and at first he was attentive but then he stopped coming back to check on us. We asked for more water and he said he would be right back and that never came back. Parking - $6 valet to eat at the restaurant, excluding tip. There's nowhere else to park nearby said the valet person. I dont know the area well enough to know if that's the case but he said if you want to eat here you have pay $6 for valet and it's required, no self park. Gave lower rating for the high food and drink prices, small portions, required $6 valet excluding tip, and bad "flat bread". Wouldn't go back.

Ambience, pizza , view and service 10/10. Was able to easily make rsvp through open table. Valet parking is available but there's a ton of street parking and meter parking available. We were greeted by the sweetest elderly man with a British accent. He got us seated and made conversation with us, even after we received all of our food. I came with my girlfriend for espresso martinis and pizza, and was satisfied. We didn't have the chance to try the lobster Mac, but definitely will next time, since lots of people recommended it. The outdoor seating was nice and I saw others were able to bring their dogs. Highly recommend coming out here when the weather is nice, to enjoy the ocean view.

Came here for Valentine's Day dinner and sadly wasn't very satisfied when we left! It was set up very cute & the view was beautiful, but they just seemed kind of unorganized /: when we arrived for our reservation it wasn't too busy and we were sat immediately, & who we thought was our waiter put in our order for drinks, & then pretty quickly after put in our order for our meal! I will say nothing on the menu really stood out to me so I just ordered something safe & something I knew I'd probably like which was the avocado salad with grilled chicken added, which was pretty good but nothing extraordinary, same for my fiancé he was able to choose pretty quickly & said his meal was decent (lobster Mac & cheese) But our meal did take quite a while to come out; the odd part was our waiter turned out to be the bartender... so once he took our orders he didn't wait our table at all until the end to bring the bill, so as confused as we were, we waited to a while to put in another drink order but no one was addressing our table, & at that point we didn't know who our waiter was so finally we were able to subtly grab another waiters attention & we ended up just asking for the check & finally our original "waiter/bartender" gave us our bill & we left... & not just that he was kind of awkward & had a weird way of customer servicing us when taking our orders... Honestly was just a weird dinner experience for us but on the bright side made a funny valentines dinner memory! :) -I do acknowledge they were prepping for a busy night & maybe they were short staffed but this was just how our dinner experience went-

The food was really good--tasty, well-seasoned, and super fulfilling. It felt really comforting too. The service was great! The waiter checked in on me and my friend just the right amount--not too much, not too little. Some waiters overdo it, but this was a nice balance. I remember it being pretty cold outside, but once they turned the heaters on, it felt really warm. The waiter even offered me a blanket since my legs were a bit cold, which was a nice touch! It was super relaxing--the view was calming, and they played good music. No EDM, which was different and cool!

Came here for a lunch gathering and the food was amazing. We ordered the lobster Mac and cheese- sooooo good please try it!! We scraped the plate!! Everyone loved it. The seared ahi tuna salad was refreshing and the salad dressing was delicious. Clam chowder was very good and perfectly made. Oysters- it was good but not the most fresh oyster I've had. I also got a mokrita drink and it was perfect although pricy for a mock tail. The service was decent but took us many many request for them to remember to bring the heat near us since we sat outdoor and it was super windy that day. Other than that it was a great lunch experience!

TLDR: I've been at Sea Level twice & I would only tell people to try it at least. They're inconsistent with how they season their food and yes, the food is def overpriced but it's beach cities prices plus everything is overpriced nowadays. Also, service IS slow even though restaurant is practically empty. But it could be a great date spot. Serene, intimate with views, and decent food. It sucks that they dont validate valet though. Grilled Octopus & Crispy Potato - MVP during 2nd visit. Must try. Octopus was cooked to perfection but the season on the potatoes were saltier than normal. Spicy tuna crispy rice - worth trying. It's hella overprice but try it during happy hour. I LOVED it during the 1st visit but the 2nd visit was lacking in flavor. Tuna was fresh tho, cut into small chunks instead of the finely chopped tuna like its been blended. Rice was fried nicely, not too hard not too soft. Pepperoni Pizza - lol I know. Dont judge. Great the 1st time since it had great balance between sauce, cheese, and topping. But the 2nd visit was again lacking in flavor. It lowkey tasted better after eating it a day later. Vanilla Latte - Lol their coffee is actually pretty good. If I'm nearby, I would definitely pop in for a latte. Sea Level Burger w/ Truffle Fries - Cooked perfectly but under seasoned. I err on the side of light seasoning so for me to say their patty needs to be seasoned is a statement. We tried other items during the 1st visit like one of their specials, some of their steak dishes, and the sourdough. Their steak dishes were pretty good, cooked perfectly to your preference + nicely seasoned (not salty!).

This Restaurant was highly recommended. The view was breathtaking. I brought my sister here on a Friday afternoon, who is visiting from Austin. We had the clam chowder, hot pastrami sandwiches and the calamari, one of the most satisfying meals we've had in a long time. Martinis were refreshing and crisp. The service and hospitality we received from Oscar were Exceptional, very attentive, went above and beyond to make our dining experience an unforgettable one! I will be returning and recommending this Restaurant to friends and Family.

Honestly deserves a zero . We came here to celebrate my sisters birthday and did dine LA reservations we were seated on time at 7:15 but we didn't or get our entrees until 9:23pm. They first told us that they had ran out of cups (??) for drinks so that's took a while. Then we asked for heaters because it was cold and they couldn't place us next to a fire pit which was fine because there were plenty of heaters- the issue was we ask for heaters 3 times and eventually an hour in with just our drinks and no food we gave up and moved the heaters close to us ourselves. We kept watching everyone else get served around us and get heaters so not sure if there was a bias to who we are. They kept telling us that our food was coming up two hours passed and we finally told them we wanted to go. Suddenly the food comes out. It's the wrong order we had to tell them twice it was the wrong order. When the right food came out it was cold. Steak was rough and the quality was overall crap. The lava cakes were just chocolate cakes no filling center and they offered my sister a birthday dessert and then ending up charging her for it. The crazy part is after waiting two hours for food you think that they would take some things off our bill or offer us a complimentary meal - they charged us for every single item including the birthday dessert. Will never come back here again. Waste of time idk how they even got on dine LA . Worst dine LA experience ever.

We recently had brunch this Saturday and had an exquisite time. Upon arrival we were pleasantly greeted and seated by a nice lady named Stephanie. It was a tad windy but we were provided a blanket and heater and enjoyed dining right on the harbor. Our waiter Adrian was very knowledgeable and personable. The Mahi tacos were out of this world fantastic! A manager named Oscar came by and chatted with us abit as well. We plan on coming back, thanks Sea Level.

This was the best decision that I have made this year!!! After contacting and visiting several venues, the Sea Level Restaurant and its staff was by far the perfect choice. The hotel manager was outstanding and his staff was a perfect reflection of the excellence you deserve when patronizing a venue and entrusting them to fulfill your expectations when spending your money to have a successful and memorable event. The Shade Hotel and Sea Level Restaurant is the total package and offer a complete affordable package. As a retired Flight Attendant and chief Operating Officer of a family owned Medical practice, my years of experience affort me the luxcury of knowing "great customer service!" I want to thank the hotel General Manager, Mitch Mehr for all of his assistance and his staff: 1) Jessica Carbajal who seamlessly coordinated my group hotel redervations; 2) Katelyn Lau who perfectly paired out menu choices and ensuredall signage was displayed;

I visited this restaurant for my boyfriend's father's birthday on a Sunday for brunch. We sat outside because the weather was so nice. Our waitress was friendly but each time we had a request it took a while to receive what we requested including our drinks, water, red pepper flakes etc. I think they may have been short staffed with waitresses because I only saw about 2 of them. The food was good, I ordered the Brussel sprout pizza with no cheese and they were able to accommodate my modification. We got the lychee martinis and they were delicious. The only downside was the slow service and maybe if they can add more vegan items to the menu.

Nice outdoor space overlooking the marina and all the boats. The hostess and server were very nice but kind of slow. We had to ask for water multiple times. Overall, the food was mediocre. Nothing was a stand out. The fish and chips were the best thing we got. The brussels sprout goat cheese pizza was good as well. The crème brûlée was the best dessert.

Came here for dinner and wow the vibes of this place is immaculate! If you get a choice, I would recommend sitting outside by the fireplace. The patio overlooks the bay and it is absolutely beautiful! It does get a bit chilly so I would recommend bringing a jacket. I ordered the espresso martini and seasonal spring pizza. This pizza was SO GOOD! If you get lucky, ask for this. It's not on the menu so make sure to ask for the specials! Overall, good vibes and good food!

First time dining here. Met up with coworkers for dinner. Valet parking only but I found street parking easily. We ate outside. Fantastic view of the marina at sunset. The evening got a little chilly but they lighted up the fire place in the middle of the table which was perfect. I had an espresso martini, clam chowder, and mussels with white wine sauce. All were delicious. I only wish I could have gotten more bread to sop up the tasty sauce. Service was great. I will definitely come back!

Came here for a coworker's birthday and it was really nice. I ordered the arugula salad with no salami and added shrimp instead. We got a table outside with the fire pit and it was just fantastic. Our waiter was oh so nice and was so patient with our group of 10. The food is a bit on the pricey side but you pay for the location and the service. My salad was really tasty, I just wish I had added more shrimp to it. Overall great experience.

Came here on a Saturday night and the vibes were great. We sat outdoors and they have fire pits right at your table and even heater lamps if needed. We caught the sunset right on the marina so the view was amazing. Service was friendly. The food was a stand out. I didn't expect it to be so great. I ordered the steak frites which was a special for the night and it was so delicious and the potato wedges were so crispy and good. Great spot for any special occasion or a fancier night out!

Great service and great food. We went on a bike ride and came here for Father's Day. We sat outside and you can see all the boats that are docked. We ordered the shrimp omelette, fish and chips and sourdough bread. The kids got mac n cheese and pepperoni pizza. The pizza is bigger than most places die a kids size. Everything was delicious.

Came for dinner. The place wasn't too busy, but there was a party in the main dining area. Were seated quickly without a reservation. Service, like others have mentioned was very slow. Our server was pleasant although only came to check on us once during the entire meal. I was thirsty and water was not refilled and could not be found in between those times. Also, one of our plates and my water glass had left over food on it, so that was a bit off putting that it was not properly cleaned. The catch of the day sea bass was good and seasoned well as was the gnocchi; however I will never order the poke again. Definitely over priced for what it is. It has cold edamame, seaweed salad, crispy wonton (best part) and ribbon carrots. The tuna itself was fine and fresh. The seasoning tasted like something you would get from ready made section of Costco (ok, but not great). I've had poke everywhere including different places in Hawai'i and a long the coast. This was probably the worst I've had. Rice was mushy and over cooked. It really ruined the dish for me and left me starving. Overall ambiance was nice, service slow, food is a hit or miss. I've eaten at similar places with faster service and better seafood and parking is not valet only. Overall, it's an ok place to try once, but it's not a place I'd want to come back to.

Been to this place many of times however the service gets worse. No water, I have to chase a waiter down to order, then the bill takes forever. Also seen this happen to multiple tables. I come for the view but it's no longer worth it. I know they are short staffed so maybe not sit the place to it's capacity. I Remember the days when the mangers would even sign a birthday card for the table. I'm sad

Have been meaning to write this review. My friends and I came late back in May. The kitchen was just about to close but the manager, Oscar, went out of his way to get a pizza squeezed in for us. Our waitress, Esther, was also very nice and tried to see if any desserts were left. There weren't but she really tried and was very sweet and friendly. Really appreciated how the staff tried their best to accommodate us, even if there was something they couldn't. Made our night!

We didn't get any food but the service and vibes were great. It's on a beach but they have great bands and music on the weekends. The place gets packed. We were on the beach side. Definitely worth hanging out on the weekends.

Haiku: Sea Level Restaurant & Lounge Great for those who brunch Eat out on the patio Gorgeous plated food. --- (3.5 stars) Sea Level Restaurant & Lounge is a marina mainstay for those who enjoy brunching on the weekends. Living in LA, it's a must to eat outdoors on the patio and enjoy the beautiful weather and marina scenery. I enjoyed the gorgeous plating of the foods more than the taste. The average plate is $15 - $25. It gets ridiculous when Avocado Toast is $21. My girlfriends and I enjoyed brunch with mimosas and ordered many dishes and did family style. My faves: Chopped Salad (a well-balanced salad with Italian meats, beans, and crunch), Mushroom Pizza (great rich, umami taste), and Key Lime Pie (the perfect tart and sweet dessert to end a meal). I didn't enjoy the Green Chilaquiles--it was too heavy on the tortilla chips and was overall rich and filling. Service was friendly and attentive. We made reservations ahead of time and they were able to seat us even before our entire party arrived. This place is a must if you enjoy the weekend brunch culture and beautiful foods.

Superb view and service. Food was soo good. Nice to celebrate and just unwind. I went with my lady friends and we all enjoyed our own separate meals. I got the salmon, my gosh it's a must try! It can get pretty chilly so dnt forget to bring a jacket or a date that will offer theirs. I am one that loves to dine with a view, this place is one of my top five. Will definitely be going again.

Everything food is fine and service is satisfactory and the ambiance is absolutely astonishing! And the bottom less mimosas are bizarre!

My party and I made a reservation for a brunch birthday celebration and we were not disappointed. When we arrived, it was not populated at all and the hostess allowed us to choose a sitting area of our preference. Since the view was lovely, we opted for a spot closest to it outside. Noticing the sun piercing towards us, one of the servers stopped by our table to set up umbrellas for us. The service was decent throughout. Our table ordered a variety of dishes that we rated fair overall. I personally ordered an Açaí Bowl which seemed to be at a great price point. While there was certainly visual appeal in its presentation, I soon realized why I originally thought the price point was great. I expected my order to be a literal bowl of açaí decorated with the fruits listed in the menu's description. Instead, I received a single scoop of açaí with few fruits and nuts scattering the plate. Considering traditional açaí bowls that are of competitive price with much larger portions (and also served in a bowl to fit it all!) can easily be found elsewhere, I would prefer not to order this again. The birthday celebration, however, was an overall success. And the view served great for photo ops!

Came here for dinner. Ordered: lobster mac and cheese. 6/10 Pan seared sea bass - 5/10 didn't have much flavor. The dish was mostly peas and only had like 8 gnocchi. Definitely not restaurant quality. I make better fish at home. Dessert- Upside down peach torte - 5/10 It was too tart and had very little ice cream. The staff were very polite and professional. 9/10 Overall 5/10 experience, very average for the price. Would not try it again.

Located inside of Shade Hotel, Sea Level is located on the ground floor of the left hand side building when you enter from the parking lot. Parking is valet only, and there is a fee. They have outdoor seating as well as indoor seating/bar. On Friday nights, they have live music! Just an FYI, you can't really hear it from inside, so I'd ask to sit outside if you're interested in hearing the music! For a starter, we got the San Francisco Sourdough that comes with whipped butter. Not really worth it for $6.00 in my opinion. I'd go for something else instead next time! While we started off to a weak start, I'd have to say everyone in my party really enjoyed their entrees! My favorite entree of the night was the Pan-Roasted Striped Seabass. Very light and flakey and came with a tasty spring vegetable risotto, basic, green garlic, and lemon zest. So good! The Seared Halibut is good as well. It comes with potato gnocchi, English peas, oyster mushroom, and herb beurre blanc. This dish wasn't as flavorful, but still yummy! I tried some of the Pan Seared Ora King Salmon, and I enjoyed their take on a salmon dish. I haven't had salmon served quite like this before. It had potato emulsion, chimichurri, curry roasted cauliflower, and fried capers. Who knew chimichurri could go so well with salmon! Pro tip: Get the Lobster Mac and Cheese entree and turn it into a shared side for the table! Everyone in my party enjoyed it. Served piping hot, the white cheddar bechamel was rich and creamy.

Had a great time. Came here for my bday dinner. The host was very friendly and considerate. We were sat toward the windows. We ordered the calamari and the ceviche to start. They were delicious. My entree was the 40 day aged NY strip with wild mushrooms. My wife got the Striped Sea Bass. My daughter got the Lobster Mac. My daughter's friend got the Salmon. We loved everything. It was all delicious. The restaurant atmosphere was good. Not to loud. Service was attentive.

Comfortable harbor side seating at King Harbor overlooking dozens of boats. Attentive servers. Wonderful clam chowder (with bits of lobster) and a simple club sandwich made for a flavorful luncheon. My friend loved the avocado toast!
