    C3 Bar delivers an impressive dining experience with food that is both flavorful and well-prepared. The standout, however, was the service. Our server was not only attentive and personable but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and cocktails and gave great recommendations. The ambiance was inviting and warm, though the simple table and chair style felt a bit out of place for what is clearly aiming to be a more upscale establishment. While this detail didn’t detract significantly from the experience, a touch more refinement in the furnishings could elevate the overall vibe. Overall, a great spot for delicious food and exceptional service - we’ll certainly be back!

    Another great dinner at C3. Walleye was absolutely delicious & nicely presented. We had the same great dinner two days ago and this one was no exception! What a great go-to place!

    Celebrating our 45th Anniversary! Overall experience was wonderful! We had a very nice table on the upper level - private - and still gave us a view of the restaurant. We love the Caesar Salad and the walleye entree was perfectly prepared and was sooo tasty. Kaitlyn, our server, did a nice job - but could have been a little more attentive … Took awhile to get the second drink. This is one of the BEST restaurants in Bloomington!

    We regularly dine at C3, but our meals were not good last nite. The fresh fish were 3 small scallops with a cold pesto sauce circled on the outside. A few bits of root vegetables and that was it. The meal was VERY meager for the price.
