    We have always loved your restaurant for the food, service, and Blackberry Margaritas. On our last visit, the margaritas were off, though everything else was excellent. This spot is special to us, and we will be back to give it another try.

    Circa is fun and comfortable and everyone who works there is terrific. The food was very good. Our server was a doll. He made a couple of mistakes with our order but corrected them immediately & correctly. We loved the casual vibe! Will return soon.

    Food overall was decent. Flatbread - delicious. Fried calamari had more fried vegetables than calamari. Service was manic and forgetful. Closed at 9:30 PM but was told last call for food and drink at 8:45. Didn't expect our 8:15 reservation would put us in that much of a pinch.
