The crab dip was overly cheesy and served with stale bread and stale chips. The burger was served well done and with undercooked onions instead of sauteed mushrooms. The pasta with shrimp was tasty and the portion was large; it was worth taking it home to eat later. The Irish specialty drinks were a good addition to the menu. Prices are a bit inflated for the quality of food served.

I enjoyed an Italian pasta court while my wife enjoyed one of her special sandwiches and although we had not separated, the choice of alcohol/drinks seemed amazing. do not let the lack of prominence in the common discourage them from corner 230. everything was wonderful. we make it a point to return.

I love him. Both had great energy. Cortney was totally child-sensitive and peskatarian gluten-free friendly. And the menu was good enough. We decided to be a bit on the cheeky, eat some of the fried Calamari omg, amazingly tasty, the grilled Calamari Spinat salad delicious, the fungus fries a little too hard, imo, although I love Portabello mushrooms, and a pasta for our child with the most generous serving of fresh sauteed vegetables something we always order on the side since vegetarian. The energy of the terrace where we sat was great, the amount was also, including the 120 pounds of Lucy Dog I loved. And the decor was flattered and sexy, without being foreseeable yet completely small town and full of kindness. My partner loved the music, btw and we all had a really nice evening. When and when we come from Chicago to visit one of the state parks in the future, we will definitely return to places when traveling. Tons of love! Fun!

The sit-down menu (with Salat Dessert was wonderful. The ambience of C230 was simply perfect for a holiday party. Katie, Nicole Tony was all so cheerful and great to set up with our series of 35 people! I worked with Katie in planning this party, it was a piece of cake! The price was very reasonable for such a good meal! Thank you Katie Ryba for planning a painless process. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to hold a party to have it at C230!
