C Level Bistro & Wine Bar

I really enjoyed our first visit. The food was very good and the service was extremely attentive without being over ambitious. The bartender could be one of the best I've seen in a long time. He made a great wine selection and his cocktails were flawless. The lamb shank was prepare perfectly. The shrimp with pasta was good but just lacked something with "the pasta" as the shrimp could not have been better prepared. SHRIMP: Perfectly cooked, tender, full of flavor.

This has to be the best food in Naples. Be sure and look at the menu the prices might see high until you experience the food. We were a party of 5 and we had starters, beet salad and French onion soup was the best I have had outside France. the garlic shrimp was fabulous the shrimp was cooked to perfection they were large, firm and nicely flavored. I am gluten free so could not try the bread but everyone said it was great. Main dishes we tried the Miso Chilean Sea Bass. it was a gluten free dish and was delish. (They have a great gluten free selection and it is clearly marked on the menu.) the C LEVEL SHELL COMBO GF Maine lobster tail, U8 scallop, tiger shrimp, Maryland crab cake, lobster sherry cream sauce & lemon buerre blanc. was so good the lobster was amazing. and someone in our party ordered the BEEF BOURGUIGNON GF Prime Filet Mignon tips, Pinot Noir, carrots, crimini mushrooms, pearl onions, pancetta, I didn't try but it looked good. We were celebrating and had a variety of cocktails, i heard it said the chocolate martini was the best they ever had. for dessert the flourless cake and the creme brule were good. Our server Elisabeth gets bonus points for her great service of a louder drinking group that often changed orders after listing to others order. she was great and helpful with suggestions from drinks to GF options. Thank you Elizabeth. wanted to also note the Chef (obviously a genius) cane out to check to see how the starters were and again when the entrees came out. Can not recommend this place enough. I can't wait to go back!!! Chef thank you for a fantastic meal and evening.

I had such high hopes for this place but I'm completely turned off by all the blue neon lights. Last night i forged ahead. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be a French restaurant! Greek maybe.. Really nice people, and without the club lights, it's actually a very pretty and well laid out space. They have a decent wine list and a well rounded menu but every was just a little sub-par. I went for the standards, escargot and beef bourgogne (?) and it was just snails and stew at best.. nothing special, in fact, the beef in the stew tasted like leftovers. Even the bread was basic. I do know bread items in Florida are different in general, but they are a long way from doing it better. The one thing I loved was the little piles of 4 different types of salt and a nice cracked pepper with the bread on the escargot plate but sadly the lovely idea of roasted garlic pieces were cold and not well caramelized. Bummer...could have had a nice place to go close to home. I bet everything would taste better without the 1980s lighting. Swing and a miss.
