    I have wanted to try C3 for some time now, didn't disappoint. We did sit in a little alcove, which separated us from the dining room, was fine but felt we were intruding on the other couple in the alcove, would have preferred main dining room or outside ( if it wasn't too hot). Food was excellent, I had the special, sea bass, my daughter the hamburger. Our server Gabe made the night. Excellent and professional service, noticed we were celebrating something and offered to take our picture. Look forward to returning.

    Dinner was exceptional. We had the Small plate, (chicken tinga tostaditas), the C3 burger, and the Fish Special which were all delicious. Their drink specials were exceptionally priced, and I had one of the best margaritas I've had in bloomington - not too sweet! The occasion was my wife's birthday and they gave us a desert on the house. 10/10 experience!

    We had a reservation, and were seated immediately, but it took a long time to be greeted by the server. Once we did, the service was great!

    My husband and I happened upon this restaurant on a quick weekend trip to Bloomington. The service was good, food and cocktails amazing! We sat outside and had the good fortune of hearing a great jazz group playing that evening. I would highly recommend this place!!
