"My husband and I had a fun, delicious meal at C29. We sat at the bar, and we were warmly welcomed by the bartender. When he gave us the menu, we were immediately struck by the incredible wine options available by the glass. I tend to drink more white wines while my husband prefers reds. We rarely buy a bottle of wine when we go out. It was great to see that we could both enjoy incredible wines from wineries that are both hard to find and, when you do, only available by the bottle. Food-wise, everything we ate was perfectly prepared and delicious. We could tell that a lot of time and attention went into the ingredients and their preparation. Nothing was overworked or too complicated. The price point of some of the dishes may give you pause, but when you taste the food, you quickly recognize the quality. We enjoyed our meal so much that the next morning we returned to the restaurant to pick up some of their bakery items. The croissant and pastries did not disappoint. We're looking forward to enjoying another great meal at C29."
