C-Level is our favorite restaurant in PCB! Every visit to town requires a stop for dinner. The food is fantastic. It's fresh and the portions are portions. read more

9.2/10 great price and great food instead of getting the 2 pounds of crab meat i recommend getting the 1/2 because they sometimes give you 2 and the 2 pounds is 3 clusters. read more

Came in with a party of 8 and unfortunately had a pretty bad experience. Apparently the kitchen gave my dish to another table by mistake, so the rest of my group got their food while I sat there waiting another 15 minutes by myself. Mistakes happen, but what really bothered me was the server's attitude afterward, there was no apology and they came across as rude and sassy when I asked about it. I understand restaurants get busy, but basic communication and customer service go a long way. Definitely left a bad impression. read more

Stopped in for Sunday brunch and the food was very good - gumbo was delicious! Will definitely be back!

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. Would def eat here again this week! Love the old videos of the classic PCB too!

Short wait on a Friday night. Simple decorations with a friendly atmosphere. We got the mahi mahi tacos and the special which was shrimp in a pineapple. Both were really good. The corn bread bites were exceptional and the sweet potato fries were a nice complement. Drinks were also good. read more

"Friends don't let friends eat at franchises". I was nervous to step away from the usual Panama City spots, but all my worries were put to rest with this stop in at C Level. They took reservations which was a great surprise (most of the beach spots don't!). Our first surprise was when the waitress went out of her way to get a member of our party a gluten free dinner roll when she happened to overhear she was gluten free -- this really made the visit special. The food was delicious. We ordered the ribeye, the tuna steak, and the fish and chips. We all ate our plates clean. The Parmesan fries were a great side dish! We will definitely be back! read more

We have been here a few times. Each time we go we like better than the last. The crab legs were fantastic! The grouper with crab on top was perfect. The sides were good too, especially the brussel sprouts. Best brussel sprouts I have ever had. The restaurant is cute and can accommodate large groups. The staff is very friendly. This is a go to restaurant when we are in the mood for a nice easy going seafood dinner. read more

As soon as you walk in the door an overpowering smell of fish hits you in the face. I couldn't eat from the smell. The seating is horrible and overcrowded and it's very loud, you can barely hear. Not a pleasant dining experience. read more

Food, service and experience were all excellent. Great staffing owners. Would recommend for lunch, brunch and dinner.

First time at C Level the other day and the food did NOT disappoint, the filet was absolutely delicious!!!Our waitress "Aly" was the best server we had our entire trip. Between the excellent service and food we will absolutely be back!!! read more

Worst part was the owner blaring music in a booth behind me on their phone. (I had complained to my waiter and he informed me it was the owner. And yes, it was that bad) Outside of that. Food was perfect. read more

We had a wonderful evening at C Level. Our server was so kind and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious! I would go back again for sure. read more

A good thing we had reservations for this very popular 'foodie place'. And we had the pleasure of having the former chef Joseph as our server as he is now very busy with mentoring and teaching at a school for chef wannabes. His recommendations were spot on for both drinks and eats, and our diverse group had everything from grouper cheeks to prime rib - all nicely prepared for an entertaining evening! read more

Just ate lunch a little earlier and wow! I've been a few times and it's always been good. Today I had the French dip for the first time and it knocked my socks off. The sweet potato fries were excellent as well. My buddy enjoyed the fish and chips almost as much! read more

Oh my goodness we had such a wonderful dinner. I had the ribeye with Brussels sprouts and green beans it was fabulous. My husband had fish tacos. SIL had crab cakes and trussel potatoes and BIL had grouper and grits he probably would have licked the bowl. And we had the berry salad so good. Our server Sarah never let our drinks go empty and was on top of ever need. We ordered key lime pie it was wonderful and cheesecake it was ok but wow such a great dining experience. 10/10 read more

This restaurant was my favorite of the week. I had the grouper cheeks served over cheese grits. It was amazing. All of our food was perfectly prepared, served timely and delicious. I highly recommend this place. read more

I'm not someone who normally writes reviews, but the service experience was disappointing enough that I felt it was worth mentioning. I hope management looks into it because the food itself showed potential. Atmosphere: The restaurant was fairly busy when we arrived, with most tables in use. If you didn't have a reservation, it looked like the wait time would probably be around 5-15 minutes. Luckily, we arrived at the right time and a table had just opened up, so we were seated immediately. One thing that stood out to me was the popcorn ceiling--it's not something you see very often anymore, so it caught my attention. Service: Our server's name was Amanda. From the start, the interaction felt uncomfortable. She made very little eye contact and her body language suggested she might have been in a bad mood or dealing with something. At first I wondered if I was overthinking it, but when our sides arrived it became more noticeable. Instead of gently placing the plate on the table, she seemed to toss it down when it was still a few inches above the surface. It came across as somewhat aggressive. I mentioned it to my coworker to get his opinion in case I was misreading the situation, but he felt the same way and thought the behavior seemed passive-aggressive. We couldn't really understand why. We were both in town long-term for work supporting Air Force exercises and had been eating at local restaurants every night rather than chains. We try to be respectful guests wherever we go, especially since we both understand what working in the service industry can be like. As dinner continued, I tried to give the benefit of the doubt and assumed maybe she was just having a rough day. However, I noticed that when she interacted with other tables she appeared much more upbeat and friendly. When she returned to ours, the demeanor immediately changed again--no smile, minimal engagement, and very little eye contact. Over time it became distracting enough that we both just wanted to finish the meal and leave. It honestly put me in a negative headspace and made the overall experience feel uncomfortable. Food: We both ordered the prime rib, which was good overall. It was slightly on the salty side, but still enjoyable since I was pretty hungry. For sides, I had coleslaw and cornbread bites. The cornbread bites were excellent--light, flaky, and very enjoyable. The coleslaw, on the other hand, wasn't great. It was soggy and had a very strong flavor that didn't work well for me. Overall: I'd rate the restaurant 2/5. The food had some positives, but the service significantly impacted the overall experience. I'm generally pretty easygoing and not very picky--being an Army veteran, you learn to make the best of situations rather than complain. Still, the service here made the experience uncomfortable enough that it overshadowed the meal. That said, I'm in the area several times a year for work supporting exercises, so maybe I'll give it another chance in the future. But based on this visit alone, it wasn't a great experience. read more

The food and the service were amazing along with the yeast rolls and everything else. Chris our server was on point and paid great attention to detail. It was a wonderful experience. We will be coming back. read more

Phenomenal food , service , and FRIED OREOS... don't forget those.. OMG SO GOOD ! Can't complain about a single thing !! read more

Great ambience and service. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious but a little bit on the salty side for me. Not the cheapest place but worth it. They do have vegan and gluten free options, which is always a plus. The cocktails are delicious and well presented. Restrooms could be a little bit cleaner. read more

My wife and I were in Panama City for a long weekend and wanted to eat seafood. We had been to another local place that was good, but wanted to try a different place. Read a few reviews on Yelp and looked at the menu and decided C Level was our next adventure. The hostess had very little personality, but took our name and stated it would be about 15 minutes. We sat at the bar and waited. Looking around it's almost like two different vibes - one by the bar (more casual) and the rest of the restaurant (little more dressy). Taking our seats the server was fantastic and described the specials but bragged on most everything. We settled on the C Platter - Grouper, Flounder, shrimp and a cluster of snow crab legs. Then there are two sides to pick. We selected the fresh green beans and Brussels sprouts. First, the vegetables are amazing. Delicious and savory with plenty on the plate. Both fish were delicious, the snow crab legs also didn't disappoint. The house made tarter and cocktail sauce were really tasty themselves. All in we came in just under $100 but man it was worth it. There was a lot of food on the plate and all of it was delicious. I'd go back tomorrow. read more

I have dined at c level 3 times now and each time the food has been incredible. The grouper nuggets are 100% the best you'll find around here. Large nuggets with not too much breading and yummy homemade tartar sauce to dip. Yum!! When I want crab legs this is my go to place. They are always well prepared and good sized crab legs. And served with 2 sides! The truffle fries and Brussels sprouts are my favorite sides. The service here for me has been hit or miss. In the past I have had issues with the food taking too long to come out but this is one of the better restaurants in the area so it's worth it to me. read more

Great food. We have dined here many times. Had many dishes. Great drinks. Try some of the specialty drinks, they are delicious. Fun staff.

It was a short, interesting, nice experience. We wanted to seat at the bar but there was no room, so another patron offered to scoot over and made room for us to pull up two more bar stools and seat at the bar. Cocktails were great, creative and tasty. The bartender was really busy also making cocktails for the restaurant, but we never felt completely ignored. She could have used some help. The ambiance felt nice, busy but very quiet. We did not eat, we had other plans for dinner. We shall return and journey through the menu. read more

The food was excellent. I had the prime rib sandwich and liked it. The tuna dip omg the best I have ever had. The service was great.

The food was incredible.... The best prime rib I've ever had. The shrimp cocktail was ok. The fried mushrooms were amazing! Mashed potatoes and corn bread bites were also awesome! Super impressed with the taste of everything. The best! Service was ok. Atmosphere was ok. 5 stars was solely for the taste of the food. read more

First time trying C Level. After reading mixed reviews, thought we'd give it a try. Tyler was a fabulous host. Ordered the prime rib, truffle new potatoes and mixed green salad. Salad was good, truffle new potatoes were lacking. Didn't care much for the seasoning on the prime rib, but it was good. The highlight of the entire evening was the absolutely fabulous rolls and brussel sprouts. If you go, get the sprouts!!! read more

Disappointed from start to finish. We had a 6 PM reservation but still waited 15 minutes to be seated, and then they squeezed us into a table too small for our group. The table we were supposed to have sat empty until we flagged down our server, who had to find someone to help her move it. After finally placing our order, we waited nearly an hour for food while several tables that arrived after us were served first. We were a group of 11, including two toddlers, and most of us ordered simple dishes. They weren't overly busy. The delay just didn't make sense. When the food finally came, the burgers were undercooked, the prime rib was overcooked, and my gulf grouper was topped with a sad excuse for hollandaise and crab. It was a $10 add-on that made the dish inedible. When the server placed the plate in front of me, she must have seen the look on my face because she said, "I'll see if I can get you some more crab." I could tell instantly the hollandaise was off. Instead of being smooth and creamy, it was a watery, orange, oily mess poured over the fish. I told her right away that it was inedible. She asked if I had even tasted it, which I had, but there was clearly no need. It was obvious something was wrong. She eventually took it back, and the replacement came out in under five minutes. That only made us question why we had waited so long in the first place. Mediocre food, disorganized service, and no accountability. It was clear no one in charge was interested in turning the experience around. Not a single manager came to the table to check in or even acknowledge the issues. They removed the $10 charge, but that was the only gesture. We won't be returning. read more

Not good. Awful in fact. I had the grouper cheeks. I've had halibut cheeks before and they were delectable. These came in a slice so rich I couldn't have more than a couple bites. And to top it off, the cheeks had bone fragments or scales attached. So each cheek.....hard shellfish piece. I had a couple and was done. I mentiined this to the waitress and sge said she had never seen this. She asked the kitchen and they said it happens. That's it. My husband had prime rib......it was very well done and super fatty. There are so many excellent restaurants in the area, don't waste your time or m9ney here. Honestly terrible. read more

We loved this place the most out of everywhere we ate our whole trip. Server was attentive and answered all our questions. Food was amazing! They even had grilled cheese for my picky eater. We went right after our sea screamer tour and we felt a bit underdressed but everyone was super nice. read more
