The C House is a fantastic spot, especially if you're sitting outside--the vibe is great, perfect for a relaxed evening. If you go, the charcuterie boards are a must. They come with house made preserves, pickled veggies, fruit, etc. My favorite was the Cambozola (blue Brie); SO good! The seared tuna was okay; I would skip next time. However; the chicken gnocchi was absolutely amazing--rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I'd highly recommend it! Their cocktails are creative, and they also have a great selection of wine. The C House delivers on quality food and great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

A cutie place for a girlie date! we had a reservation and were seated right upon arrival. If they're busy parking becomes scarce but welcome to Tampa I guess lol. The drinks were very good! you could tell they had alcohol in them and not just filled with juices like other places. we all shared the board and it was the perfect amount for us 4! i would also order these buffalo cauliflower bites 10 more times because they were AMAZING!

This place is "on purpose". It has a story of the "C"'s and you have to check it out for your self. The decor is eye candy, and has a very feeling. The music and the volume- perfect! The service by Jenny was great. She really did well at explaining what this place is all about it made it that much more special. We did it all except for the champagne! This is the only place to go for charcuterie and cheesecake and everything in between! Our children live just down the street now. Oh my goodness I think we'll be a frequent flyer for sure.

We enjoyed our meal and experience at the C House. Parking lot is definitely small but we luckily snagged a spot. There was a bit of a line at the front to check in, and strangely the hostess asked us if outside was okay even though we made a reservation for inside. Love the rustic decor inside. Server was great and everything we had was good. Food could have been seasoned a bit more but otherwise was great. Cocktails were good too and the cheesecake is definitely worth it!

Amazing set up with wonderful outdoor seating to complement the indoor seating. Great bar area and soothing decor. We enjoyed an outside table near the music. They had a fantastic sax player the night we were there. The service was truly four star. Your glass was never empty. Menu recommendations and detailed descriptions were offered with grace and a smile. The food was not the price, but was Michelin star level. Our Airbnb was right across the street, so it made for an amazing evening. We tried the build your own charcuterie board and poutine since we were in that kind of mood after having a late lunch. Truly the best take on poutine I've ever tried. Crisp crust potatoes with ample cheese and great topping. The charcuterie had two meats and three cheeses. There was Serrano ham and a truly surprising Spanish chorizo. I normally loathe chorizo, but this was not the typical Mexican restaurant variety. This was dry and flavorful with no greasy taste. It was as enjoyable as the ham in every way. We had three great cheeses Cambozola, Mahon, and Manchego. Truly wonderful with grapes, nuts, bread, pickles, and onions. Definitely the best charcuterie I ever had. You really must check this place out. In a city filled with wonderful restaurants, it's one you shouldn't miss.

This restaurant was so cute. I'm still new to Tampa and don't know my way around, but I really liked this area. When I got to the location, I noticed the parking lot wasn't very large, but there was parking available when I arrived. We had a reservation and got there a little early, but there was plenty of seating when we arrived. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The Caesar salad was delicious, and the ahi tuna and Crabcakes were also good. They were out of cheesecake the day we got there. The waiter said that a group had ordered all of the cheesecake the evening before, which was disappointing. Being that cheesecake is part of the C. But maybe they'll have it next time I visit.

I love the C House. I've been a patron for years (simply because of the Buffalo cauliflower), and I've turned many others on to it as well. The staff are great, the food is delightful, and it's usually easy to get a space without a reservation. Cocktails are wonderful, but the selection is a bit limited.

This place was recommended by a friend of mine when I was looking for somewhere good to eat in the Seminole heights area and let me tell you what a little hidden gem this place truly is! The restaurant has outdoor seating and a large outdoor bar area . Inside is a quaint space with a inside bar and coffee/bakery area. I absolutely loved the ambiance of this place and it's definitely not like any other places in Tampa! The AC was broken on the inside making our visit a little toasty but the yummy food made up for this minor inconvenience. Visited with a few friends so we each ordered 2-3 items to share. Out of the apps my favorite was the buffalo cauliflower and this was a HUGE portion def perfect for sharing! The Caprese salad was also another one of our favorite starters of the evening! The crab cake was not my favorite as it has more of a fishy taste which I am not a fan of and was also rather dry. For the entree we tried the Carbonara Gnocchi and let me tell you this dish is amazing ! Def would order this again! The chicken on top was grilled and seasoned to perfection. For desert we shared the Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake slice and this thing was massive! We split it three ways and still couldn't finish it! Our server was great, she was very sweet and checked on us throughout our meal. Overall I am excited to come back to the C house and try some other tasty dishes that they have to offer.

This spot has been on my go-to list for a bit and finally made it! Met with some folks for happy hour, one Friday evening. Parking is extremely difficult and if you park across the street in the plaza you are sure to get towed. Parking on the adjacent streets can also be a bit touchy...and you'll have to walk. I don't mind the walk, but just be mindful where you end up leaving your car... The weather was lovely, so we sat outside on the patio. Service was a little slow and forgetful but was decent, nonetheless. I had an old fashioned and enjoyed that! The other drinks looked so great and the food was fab. I had the gnocchi carbonara and it was really fantastic! Rich, and a little too much creamy for me, but I knew what I was getting into. I also ordered the lemon/blueberry cheesecake. It had a little slice of lemon and there was blueberry compote on top...I didn't get any flavor of lemon in the cheesecake and the blueberry compote had a few slightly undissolved sugar granules. Although, I'd pass on the cheesecake next time, it was a decent plain piece of cheesecake..
