It wasn't the best experience, to be honest. There's not enough parking, and no real street parking. So having to circle around for 15 minutes looking for a place to park wasn't a great way to start the evening. Then, the music (which wasn't good to begin with) was way too loud, and the lighting in the inside dining area was off - with a very. very bright light shining down on our table. It definitely didn't make for a relaxing dining experience. Before I made the reservation, I looked online to make sure there were vegan options, But, when we got there, the vegan person in our party found there were very few options and nothing could really be modified, so they ended up eating a small side salad, which had to be sent back because it mistakenly had cheese on it, and a small side of vegetables. The overall experience was quite disappointing. The only thing that wasn't was the service. Our waiter, Blake, was great, but sadly even his winning service wouldn't be enough to convince us to give The C House another try.

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.
