    C3 is one of our favorites in Bloomington. We have been to C3 multiple times over the years and it seldom disappoints. The $7 Tuesday cocktails are outstanding. The muhammara appetizer is one of their best. My wife's pork medallions were excellent. My C3 burger was very good, although the accompanying fries were subpar. The fries seemed overcooked and a bit crispy. A small miss but still a fine meal overall. The service was satisfactory.

    We ate on patio on a lovely warm June evening. Beet soup was delicious & fresh beet flavor. Scallops with pasta & summer vegetables was cooked & seasoned perfectly & tender. The pea pods were stringy & tough & my only complaint.

    The visit was outstanding! Great cocktails. Fast and unobtrusive service. Fresh tasting food and just a FUN place to go. It would be worth the trip from Indianapolis for a dinner with friends.

    The menu offerings basically all included red meat/pork of some kind and the ones that didn’t did not look appealing at all. So we ended up just getting soup and salad and those were just OK and even our dry cocktails were not that great.
