    Great evening to be out! Quiet dining experience which was nice. Service was not rushed and we enjoyed drinks before ordering, Both our entrees were delicious and expertly prepared. The fish special was a fresh white fish pan seared and the Tagine with quinoa and fresh vegetables was not too spicy but just right. The desserts are always amazing- we chose the Chocolate Budino and Lemon Pudding Cake. See u there!

    We went to celebrate getting engaged. The manager/owner brought us complimentary champagnes. The cocktails were creative and amazing. My fiancé doesn’t like fish, but she actually really liked their redfish. When the soups were forgotten, the server brought them out to us and took them off our check without a word of complaint from us. Every single bite of food and taste of drink was delicious. Definitely gonna keep this on the list for our next special occasion.

    It was our first time. The reservation was easy to make on line and the text reminders were helpful to make sure we all got there right on time. As soon as we were there we were seated. The hostess was sweet and welcoming. Our server was pleasant and gave us great advice on the drinks and appetizers. The food was incredible. The bill at the end was also pretty fair especially for three people worth of drinks and like 4 or 5 appetizers and two meals.

    We have never had a bad experience here! Always delicious, flavorful food and cocktails with a cozy, romantic ambience. My husband and I started off with an espresso martini for myself and he got the old fashioned. Both were great. Also got shishito peppers for our appetizer which came with a tasty oil. The peppers were good but we both agreed we’ve had better ones out west and prefer them with an aioli. Still enjoyable though! I got the pork which was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. I can’t stop thinking about it. My husband got the burger which is always delicious and also very flavorful. Best burger in town and the price is very reasonable for the quality. He also got the rye guy which he loved as well. For dessert I had a slice of crack pie and a coffee. Both were great however the upper crust had gotten a little dark and I was unable to cut it with my fork lol but the rest of it was so yummy. Overall had a great experience and superb food and can’t wait for next time!

    My wife and I have been dining at C3Bar from the first day it opened. We both love this restaurant. I have allergies to some foods and the chefs and the wait staff have been very helpful . The food has been delicious and we go there for supper every chance we get. Allison is the hostess with the "mostess. " She is always willing to go the extra mile and isn't that what we are hoping for when we dine out.
