In fact, I find them not as helpful because most of the time the complaints are simply too broad. They are usually from people who have only been to a place one time and are simply looking to complain as well. This is isn’t one of those reviews. I’ve been to C House no less than a dozen times and each time the experience is poor or mediocre at best. The food is simply uninspired and lazy. The carbonara gnocchi is basically a fried piece of bacon with a fried egg on top of gnocchi. There are so much better ways to incorporate these two ideas into one and it’s done as if you’re at a diner. The mushroom ravioli is an overwhelming amount of different flavors none of which are cohesive. The crab dip is over salted and the toast points aren’t toasted. I’d rather just come here for a glass of wine and sit outside. I’m blue in the face from trying to give this place an opportunity but every time it has been a letdown the food has been mediocre or the service has been trash. I’ve sent back dishes and it comes back out as Mediocre.

When asked the server she stated it was brewed 2 hours earlier. To me when the table orders coffee a new pot should be brewed. As mentioned in other reviews parking is not an easy feat. I had to park several blocks back in a neighborhood.
