   It was late afternoon so noise level was lower than usual. Very good food and service.

   Staff was very friendly and helpful. One person at our table was a Vegan and that seemed to be very challenging for the back of house folks. He still received his meal with cheese in it. There also seemed to be almost no vegan options that we could identify, except for I think 1 appetizer. Would be nice to at least have 1 option or know how to veganize other options.

   The quality of the food was good but portions for the lunch salads were very small for the prices. Our server was very attentive. The atmosphere was nice but didn’t stand out.

   I have eaten at Circa in other locations and was quite happy that one opened up closer to my home. After our experience during restaurant week my husband will not return.There waa a lot of confusion for a dining room that is rather small. We were dissuaded by our server to order the entree we wanted because she said the serving was tiny (and it was offered on both the $55 and $65 restaurant week menus). I received the wrong salmon entree. The preparation of the salmon was different but it was obvious they took the salmon from the salad and put it on the other salmon entree. It was very overdone (I ordered it medium) and the sides on the dish were cold (it came out immediately when our server brought back the wrong order. There was only one dessert available again on both the $55 and $65 menus. Since my dining partner did not want the remaining dessert, he received cookies. I feel bad for my server because I don't think the problems we experienced were caused by her. But on the other hand, it was not that crowdd during our time there.

   Great food. Server was a little bit non existent. Took order only and dropped drinks. Never refilled water. And runner came with other courses before previous courses had even been finished. But food was very good. Wasn’t even that busy. So unsure why.

   We had lunch here for Restaurant Week. We had the crab/corn soup as an appetizer, the Thai shrimp salad and the shrimp & grits as entrees and the Nutella trifle for dessert. The food was delicious and our server was excellent. However, the background music was very irritating and ruined the ambience of the Restaurant.

   The restaurant staff was very welcoming ; the food was delicious and the service very attentive. The biggest drawbacks are that parking, even with validation, is somewhat expensive ($4 for 1 1/2 hours) and that the restaurant is not visible from the street. Rather it is on a pedestrian sidewalk between two main streets.

    They truly need to invest in a heater! Everyone was so uncomfortable and when 30 out of 40 people in the dining area all wearing their winter coat while eating is a hint! The whole point of eating in a nicer restaurant is to have a good comfortable time and right temperature is the stating point. I also feel bad for the employees, working in a morgue like situation. Food and service was good as usual.
