Lets Eat Out at...

Three C’s is the new restaurant in the location that formerly housed La Parisienne, the popular French restaurant that was a local favorite for many years. Now the restaurant is sporting a fresh paint job, modernized window treatments, and updated paintings to reflect the innovative menu that basically lists California Cuisine.

Our hostess, Jill Cseresznyak, was charming and made every effort to provide us with wonderful service.

On the dinner menu, guests will find some of the famous La Parisienne French-inspired dishes such as Le canard a l’orange (traditional roasted duck with grand marnier orange sauce); La cote de yeau roti aux epinard sauce Noilly (roasted veal chop with spinach and dry Vermouth emulsion); Le chevreuil aux poivre du paradis (marinated loin of venison with peppercorn cognac sauce) and Le filet mignon Toulouse Lautrec (filet mignon with truffled demi glace). Other offerings include escargot and crepes, but basically the menu is a wide variety of popular American gastronomy.

On the lunch menu, guests can enjoy Cobb salad, Chinese chicken salad, Caesar salad, seared rare Ahi with baby greens, and trio mushroom salad. Sandwiches include roasted curry pork, albacore tuna melt and crab melt. If you like crepes, try the shrimp vegetable crepe or the chicken goat cheese crepe with candied walnuts, Belgian endive and chives sauce.

Main courses include the “fish of the day,” shrimp scampi, homemade venison ravioli, fish and chips, chicken piccata, chilled lobster, calamari, shrimp and black mussels and seafood fettuccini.

On the dinner menu, enjoy such entrees as grilled sea scallops, whole deep fried catfish, braised boneless short ribs, prime rib of beef, lamb shank, calf’s liver, half roasted chicken and Mexican shrimp scampi. Three C’s also has fresh oysters on the half shell, a portabella mushroom stuffed with crab, and goat cheese with mixed greens, red beets with balsamic reduction available for starters.

The restaurant serves Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and offers a Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday. They have a good wine list and an excellent selection of beers. I think this is a restaurant that is definitely worth a try, as we enjoyed our experience.
