The experience was absolutely amazing, delicious food great service, awesome ambience! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!. The only things that I would say were a little challenging were the noise level, could improve on the acoustics, and the parking was also a bit challenging in that we had to park a block away because they only have a small parking lot and it was already full. Otherwise, definitely a delicious meal and outstanding service!!

Went to The C House for dinner with a friend on Friday night. The parking isn’t great but I was able to park a few blocks away. We sat outside and they had the heaters on, which was really nice! The food is consistently good every time I’ve been here, and the cheesecake is fantastic. Try the Cookie Monster cheesecake - you can thank me later. The old fashion is delicious and the wings were good too. Such a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

Great place to eat outside. The Fabio bowl we ordered was missing items listed on menu (humus for example ) and was very skimpy compared to the bowls we enjoyed on other visits Maybe an off day in the kitchen
The C HouseResponded on 17 February 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at The C House and our outdoor seating. However, we're sorry to hear about the inconsistency in our food preparation.

Seated indoors at a wonderful high top to accommodate our group of 4. I had mistakenly reported that there were 2 of us. The service was wonderful. The food was on point (it always is) and the libations were perfect! We love the C House!

Went on Valentine’s Day, they did not account for slower turnover of tables so waited for 45 minutes after arriving on time for reservation. It was a fixed menu but kitchen was still backed up. Got our apps and salads relatively quickly but waited so long for our entree we decided to leave after being at the table for an hour - Reservation 8:15, sat at 9, left at 10. Understandable that they were busy and the server, bartenders and hostess were great BUT when we said we wanted the check to leave the manager (maybe the owner) came out and tried to blame us saying we didn’t arrive until 8:45 which was completely insulting. Won’t go back just because of him.

Seth, He was not the owner, and this is completely unacceptable. I will be contacting your shortly.

I’m really sad to write this review, but a night out for Valentine’s Day at C House was not the experience I thought it would be. I already had a reservation lined up and it was still almost a 20 to 25 minute wait to be seated because they were overbooked. I noticed that servers were taking (on the house) drink orders for the people who were having to wait in the holding tank to be seated but they didn’t get around to everybody. Once seated and getting ready to order, the one dish that I wanted was sold out, which was fine, it happens, I can always adjust. But my date went through their entire Valentine prix fix plates before my main dish showed up. What’s really weird is that they said mine would be coming right out but only to find out about 10 min later that it was sold out. So I had to order a third time. Yikes. I do think it was really nice that my meal was comped. I appreciate that. Overall it just felt like they didn’t expect such a turn out and it became overwhelming.

Andrea, that was the friendliest bad review I've ever read, and thank you for the private message as well. Unfortunately, we were prepared to be busy this weekend, but had some internal issues that made that night challenging making the guest the impacted party. I will reply to your private message shortly.
