    We have dined here several times and as always everything was enjoyed. The service from Caitlin was great, and the food and drinks were delicious. My husband raved at how perfectly cooked the chicken was, and the sauce with polenta was delish. I chose the gnudi with root vegetables and beet pesto as my main. It was expertly plated, just beautiful. The meal was satisfying and so full of flavor. Thanks C3 for another great experience!

    Returned to C3 with good friends while visiting Bloomington; reminded us how we so appreciated this hidden gem (and why we miss it so much since moving to Colorado)! So good to see Kat and Allison again. The food was exceptional and the service superb, as always!

    We love C3! It’s in walking distance or driving down to it. It’s a great swanky bar that we love! We go down there by walking or in our car. The drinks are great and so is any food that we ordered there. We love the swanky bar in it, too!
