    We had an amazing experience at Circe! The vibe from the moment we walked in was so welcoming and fun! The decor is classy and beautiful. The bar area and tables - both downstairs and up - is chic and well appointed. Loved the music. There was a DJ playing after 10pm which made the vibe even more fun. Would absolutely come back! Valet also a great experience. For a narrow street, it was easy to access both upon arriving and leaving. Love the holiday decor!

    We dined here on a Saturday night for oir daughters 15th birthday. My wife and I have visited many times prior but this was oir daughters first. From the moment we walked in it was amazing. Very attentive staff. Aaron was oir waiter. He was very knowledgeable on the specials and other entrées available, even recommended a few choice cocktails. Food was top tier as always and the table side Alfredo my daughter ordered was the best she ever had she said. We recommend capricco to anyone who seeks a top dining experience.
