   We had a delicious and very enjoyable dinner as we always do at Circa. We started with onion soup and roasted beet salad. Both were excellent. My wife enjoyed a very tasty duck breast and I was very happy with the fish special, a slightly blackened North Atlantic salmon. We ended with two very tasty desserts. Our server, Clint, was very knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive.

   Made reservation for four people (1 American, 2 Germans and 1 French) to celebrate an anniversary. First we were told what was no longer available - Bouillabaisse, foie gras and something else. So we ordered from the menu card, poularde with mash potatoes, gravy and green beans, 2x steak with french fries and trout and carrots and mushrooms and a bottle of red wine (from California) and "de ja vu" (a cocktail). The steaks came as ordered medium rare and were good as ordered. The trout with the side dish was also good. The poularde was also all right but the beans where just blanched, no salt and the gravy was completely missing. The mash potatoes where lumpy, not mashed. After the main meal we ordered a cheese plate with three different cheeses three apple slices and strawberry sauce which was all right. And for desert we had one Crème brûlée which I prefer warm but came cold and went back to the kitchen to be warmed up but came still cold back. May complaints have been told to the waiter. For a french restaurant it was disappointing for me and over priced. We spend $ 381,00 (Tip was included on the bill) The waiter was nice.

   This was a special birthday dinner for my girlfriend on our Savannah trip and our dinner at Circa 1875 was the crown jewel in our trip. Circa 1875 has three distinct sections and vibes. One is a very cool partitioned bar area, a main dining room and a romantic wine cellar. We chose the wine cellar, and it had to be the most romantic dinner and setting I've ever experienced, and with such a special woman, I really owe Circa 1875. We had a bottle of wine recommended by the waitress, and are still talking about it!!! If you don't make Circa 1875 a priority on your visit to Savannah you are really missing out.

   Excellent service and a menu of French classics, but food preparation was uninspired and served at lukewarm temperature. Small restaurant and very noisy in the main dining room.

   Sat at underside table, ask to move and hostess resisted until I forced the issue. Hostess made the comment that should have requested a table when made reservation, I said to myself, with all the open tables she should have been able to manage the reservation. Really I don’t know the tables etc when I make a reservation.

   We ate here 1 year ago and it was good but not memorable. This time, however, it was fantastic. Great meal and great service (Emily). The decor is over-the-top but overall it's a terrific restaurant. We recommend eating downstairs.

    We had dinner at Circa 1875 this week. Our waiter was very nice, and helpful. I had the Trout, my husband had duck and both were excellent! He gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. The atmosphere helped me remember our trips to Paris, and I highly recommend!

    Had so been looking forward to our anniversary dinner here. Couldn’t wait to try the bouillabaisse. Learned they were out of it when we got there. How does a French restaurant not have this dish? Husband’s duck had several gristly slices. My fish was very tasty. Service was great. But, they knew it was our anniversary. We weren’t looking for a handout, but most upscale places have offered a glass of bubbly or dessert as an acknowledgement. Not here. Won’t be back based on overall so-so experience.

    The service of this restaurant was amazing! The food was not as good as we were hoping it to be. Both my husband and my daughters food was very salty I had undercooked duck that we had to send in ones because it was cold the first time the second time it was a little bit warmer but I undercooked but I didn’t want to send it back again because we had been sitting not eating together for a while. But saying that the ambience and the service was a five star! If the food had been amazing it would have gotten an overall five star review as well.

    This place is over rated. Food was ok but not up to an excellent rating. I had the trout and it was swimming in olive oil and capers. My wife had the salmon with a ragu sauce which was just ok. This is not French cooking.

    Delicious dinner, as usual. We have been eating here several times a year for the past 6 years. We also enjoy bringing our visitors here because of the ambiance and wonderful meals. The service is usually excellent as well but this time we felt slighted by our waiter. After ordering cocktails, we ordered French onion soup and steak frites to share. It was then we noticed our waiter “disappear”. He didn’t bring steak knives, didn’t return to ask about more cocktails, and brought our check immediately after our plates were cleared. We felt as though he couldn’t wait to flip our table in favor of customers who would order more. I have to say, that had never happened to us there before this. This is usually a great place for dinner so we are hoping we misread the waiter’s intentions.

    We were there last week. Ok overall but somewhat uneven food. We had a lovely table downstairs our waiter Marty was did a good job. Enjoyed the frittes but would love to see them served with something like an herbed mayo instead of ketchup. The frisée salad was good with a perfectly poached egg but overdressed. One of us had the filet mignon special which was very good, and perfectly cooked it was served with béarnaise sauce instead of the promised blue cheese leek fondue. Had the Berkshire pork chop which was grilled instead of fried which was preferable it was cooked well but was over sauced. Disappointed they were out of the bouillabaisse. Dessert crème brûlée was excellent the biggest disappointment was the Mille feuille which was not a Mille feuille and shouldn’t be listed as one. It was basically some tasteless puff pastry with a little custard and berries. We will try again as there was enough positives but would like to see it be more of what it is - a French restaurant.

    The serving staff were very friendly but there were a lot of things on the menu not available. There was a problem in the kitchen and they were running behind. They communicated this but when my food arrived it was cold. The cheese board was massively overpriced.

    EDIT: The Manager Mary called us to apologize for the service received last night, so in light of her sincere apology and her professionalism to address a poor service, I have changed my rating from 1 to 3 stars I will edit when we try it again and can review the food. We will go back, every restaurant has bad nights occasionally we just happen to come in on one. Would love to review the food but, never received anything other than a steak tartare appetizer (which was very good) First, the restaurant opens at 6 and we arrived for our reservation at 6:05 (parking issues) so we were the second customer seated. We took sometime to decide on wine (husband choice) a table of 3 arrived and sat next to us and I decided on a drink at 6:20 from the bar, went with the house cocktail. The cocktail arrived at 6:45 3 times the waiter came to the table to apologize. We placed our order for appetizer and entrees at 6:30-6:40 and the table table of 3 next to us did the same. At 7:15 the table of 3 received their food and finished but, ours was still MIA. Finally at 7:35 we told the waiter we were leaving and I asked to speak to the manager at the hostess stand to not make a "scene" , waiter came back and said everything was comped and the manager was too busy to speak with us. So we tip the waiter (not his fault) and left. If our food was minutes away why did they not say so, my thought is it was still far from arriving and that is inexcusable. If we arrived in the middle of a rush I would be much more understanding of slow service but, we were one of the first customers of the evening. So sad and changes in management need to be made if they want to continue to be an upscale eatery. So Saturday night downtown Savannah with no reservations anywhere else they robbed of us a romantic anniversary dinner.

    We had a lovely dinner on our anniversary. It was our first time at Circa 1875 and we were delighted with the food- steak frites and duck entrees. The service was excellent- our server Marty was wonderful and made sure our experience was excellent. We loved the French Bistro atmosphere, too! We will be back!

    We had a great time! The food from the appetizers, escargot, to the desert, the best crema brûlée I have had to the excellent wine selection everything was excellent. I had the Duck very tender and flavorful my husband had the Filet And he said it was tender but it could have use a little bit more seasoning. The ambiance was very nice and the staff extremely attentive!!! The only complaint I have is that It was our anniversary and even though we added in our reservations it was not acknowledged, it would had been nice … but we were treated so kindly by our waiter we will definitely be back…

    Bachelorette weekend and this was the first stop. The atmosphere was fantastic and the food was phenomenal. The drinks were okay, but not anything to write home about and the group kept having to add olive juice. Our waiter was not great. Service was slow and he made several mistakes including bringing a food that we had specifically stated was an allergy. It would have been a great experience without that.

    The inside decor was amazing. We have never had duck and that was the reason I picked it for my husbands 50th birthday. He got the steak and fries in truffle oil and I got the duck. Both were cooked perfectly, and the duck was amazing. After he tried my duck he said he wished he had gotten it . Service was ok, it was busy that night. Our scallop appetizer was delicious! Exceeded our expectations and we were full when we left, unlike many places downtown.

    The restaurant is beautiful, the servers and staff are all very friendly, unfortunately the food is barely subpar. I had the crab cakes for an appetizer and it was bland and boring. I ordered the duck for my main dish, and it was overcooked ( I asked for medium - it was WELL done!), the mash potatoes had a crust from sitting under the heat lamp too long, and the sauce tasted like runny jam. Just not good. What is more unfortunate is that all two appetizers and three main dishes on the table that night were lukewarm and bland or overcooked. And at over $300 for the meal, I seriously expected more.
