    Our table, along with many others were celebrating a birthday and it seems 401 Prime is a go to destination for such occasions. That said, when a restaurant does so many celebrations it can seem "run of the mill" or a "rinse and repeat" process. Not the case. From the pre-dinner cocktail (well thought out spirits selection and specialty cocktails) to the hostess, wait staff, menu and execution. An individual and lovely experience. Well done to all. Cheers to all and we look forward to our return visit. Shane

    10 years ago, we had dinner with our wedding party the night of our wedding. It was a spectacular evening, superb food and a memorable and fun service staff. We've come back for every anniversary since (except for a covid closure and one other December 19 that we couldn't get a table) Mike, our original server has b "shared" each of those return visits. The Circular is a memorable Anniversary Tradition we cherish.

    Dylan was our server and he was attentive and polite. Our food was very good and not outrageously priced. Oysters were fresh, nice portion of halibut, and a calamari dish that was a little spicy and distinctive. Recommend.
