Walked to C2 after researching local restaurants. Walked all the way there just to come to a locked door nearly 5 hours before closing. An employee saw me trying to open the door and didn't assist. I believe they should abide by their advertised hours.

The restaurant needs help, many open tables but only two servers. Was turned away for this reason.

It’s a nice restaurant and the food is not bad but the service needs help. I ate here three mornings in a row while staying at the hotel and all three mornings they got my breakfast order wrong and it had to go back to the kitchen. I’m not a picky guy but my over easy eggs came out over hard and one day they even came out as scrambled. This is not difficult stuff. The staff are all delightful, but if you eat there just be sure time in case the food has to go back to the kitchen to be redone.

KEEP YOUR RECEIPT and CHECK YOUR CARD CHARGES.
Had lunch with three friends on 6/28 ,
great Cobb salads and French Fries service was good. We spilt the bill four ways and a couple of days later I noticed I had been OVERCHARGED by $19.36.
I live close by so I stopped back in spoke to our waitress . She apologized and said she had made an error and had immediately advised accounting who were processing a refund.
It was a Sunday so she gave me the name and an extension # of an individual in accounting whom I left a voicemail for the following day. I have NOT received my refund nor a phone call back . I left multiple messages since to no avail. I did not take the receipt with me so I cannot contest the charge with my card .

My sister and I checked out C2 on a Saturday night while visiting. There was only two other couples in whole place, so one would think the service would have been awesome, but was NOT the case at all. Our waitress never came back to ask if we need anything else, another drink, etc. I had to get up and track her down after waiting approximately 30 minutes without seeing her just so that we could pay our bill and get out of there. In addition, when we received our order, the Cesar salad had anchovies on it after we specifically asked for no anchovies. The Mac n Cheese was lacking flavor and the wings were all breading with very little meat and were supposed to come with celery and they didn't. We each ordered an alcoholic beverage that seemed to not have any alcohol at all. While reviewing the bill, I noticed they charged us for two Mocktails. Which made sense, but again was incorrect. I normally have a lot of grace for wait staff because I realize they do not have an easy job and most work really hard. This was just not a good dining experience at all.

One of closest restaurants to my current home and go by almost everyday, seems like a professionally run eatery and will be going in soon to sample the menu. Will do a full review after the experience.

if you're staying at the hotel, walk 5 minutes to Dutch's or Bayside Cafe for breakfast and be much much happier with your food and your check

Wonderful breakfasts while staying at this hotel. Try some lobster with your breakfast. I really enjoyed the berries and yogurt also. I had dinner here the last night of my stay and it was divine. Street parking is sparce and the parking deck is expensive so walk or uber if you aren't staying at the hotel.The manager clearly knows what she is doing as does the chef. Amazing.

Shockingly loud; no manager to politely encourage people to use their indoor voices. People were literally screaming for the hour we were waiting for two burgers. We weren’t offered bread or nuts…the waiter was very nice but this is nuts. We actually sat at the bar because it was quieter. And the burgers were burnt. You all are better than this.
