C3's Bistro - Corrales

Is this restaurant still open? I drove by yesterday and noticed the sign had been taken down.

I worked at this restaurant a few months ago, and the reason for the delay in this review is because the cook would take 45 minutes to an hour smoking breaks outside, despite the restaurant being busy with customers. As a dishwasher, I was unable to do anything about it. Additionally, the chefs were rude to customers, waitstaff, and even the owners. The fish dishes were left abandoned on tables, adding to the overall negative experience.

We recently dined at a charming little gem in Nola that specializes in Southern cuisine. The owner is fantastic - friendly, genuine, and very knowledgeable. She even remembered us when we visited again 4 months later. As soon as you step inside, you feel like you've been transported back to New Orleans, with the colorful art, Mardi Gras beads, and delicious aromas filling the air. Our favorite dishes on the menu were the crab au gratin and shrimp and grits - absolutely delicious! My partner swears by the lamb as the best option. Personally, I think the crab au gratin is heavenly and wish it was offered as a main course. The salad dressing was exceptional, probably the best I've ever had. The shrimp and grits were bursting with flavor, and I also enjoyed the blackened catfish and crawfish. It would be a nice touch to add a roux-based gumbo to the menu, as tomato-based gumbo is not traditionally found in New Orleans. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food were all top-notch. We've already introduced two separate groups to this place and can't wait to bring more friends along in the future.

Great eating and live jazz. I love the garnel and grits. I can't wait until tracey whitney and the art of jazz return. it is a bit of a trek, but it is worth it. great staff. friendly and attentive.

Delicious food, great location and a lovely family and staff running the chill joint. Gonna be there often.
