“ Finally made it to this place and it didn't disappoint! The calamari was really good, I didn't care for the sauce though. The smash burger was really good as well as the fries. I also ordered a Hennessey side car for 19 and it was delicious ”
“ Food was pretty good. I’d eat here again however nothing I ate was out of this world. Our server was awesome and funny I want to say her name was Sarah. The salmon was good, I traded the original items for mashed potatoes and broccolini instead of what it came with. My partner ordered the Mac n cheese (it’s not seasoned so the bacon helps) and the shotgun shrimp appetizer they said it was great. And my mom had the jambalaya which I’ve also had before I highly recommend this dish! The sausage is great, if you don’t like any spice at all take the sausage out. ”
“ Excellent restaurant! Good food and great service! Our party was in a hurry and our server was very accommodating. We appreciated the use of the inkind app to pay and receive rewards on our purchase. Circa does charge an additional service fee but they have a sign posted prominently out front! ”
“ My first time here, visiting after work. The restaurant is very nice and centrally located. It has various types of seating and it was that the staff were used to a fast pace setting. I sat at the bar and was immediately met by the bartender. The drinks were made to order and were not made lightly … the food was very tasty and the service from prompt. The setting behind the bar was visually appealing and they had a great selection for all drink preferences. I will be back and will definitely bring friends to enjoy as well. ”
“ Had a fantastic meal at Circa! The vibe hits that perfect balance: chic bar ambiance with modern design, open space, and house/club music playing at just the right volume — it subtly adjusted throughout the night, which was a nice touch. Service was decent — staff was attentive, though a little more energy toward checking on customers would’ve made it great. Now the food: Wagyu meatball sliders — the meatballs were phenomenal, rich and flavorful. The bread was just okay, but the meat made up for it. BBQ chicken flatbread — solid, tasty, exactly what you’d expect in a good way. The real standout? The Purple Rain house cocktail — bold, flavorful, and packs a real punch. Would 100% order again. If you’re looking for a stylish spot for happy hour with good food and drinks, Circa is definitely worth a visit! ”
