We were celebrating the engagement of our son to a wonderful woman. I had told the restaurant why we were there and they were especially accommodating. Our server did not rush us through ordering and the food arrived in a well timed manner. The food was excellent- hot and fresh. We ordered dessert and it arrived with the word Congratulations written in chocolate sauce around the plate. It was an all around great time.

Excellent experience for my husbands 65th birthday. We had an attentive, friendly waiter, lovely ambience quiet enough to hear each other speak in a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. The food was incredible, great drinks, reasonable prices and service was wonderful without being intrusive. Will definitely come back again!

Circa is a great, low key place to meet friends and share appetizers or have your own meal. There is a nice specialty cocktail list and wine selection. I always enjoy dining outside.
