    Usually have the best experiences at The Circle. But this was not a good meal and the wait was troubling. Something is off. And the exterior was in shambles - garden holds extra garbage now. New owners? So confused.

    A wonderful, relatively small restaurant with excellent cooking. Offers several fish, meat, and vegetarian dishes. All are prepared with creative ingredients and/or sauces. On our latest visit we forgot to ask about the specials and our server forgot to mention them. Make sure you do as they sounded great and a neighboring table sung their praises. Northern NJ is lucky to have this gem of a restaurant.

    We had an incredible meal at The Circle! The restaurant is next level in taste & presentation. The Oysters were outstanding, as was the Soft shell Crab. I had the Duck, it might be the absolute best I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had it many times. My husband had the Cod, he loved it & thinks it was outstanding as well. The desserts were delicious. Our waitress was Izzy who was professional, friendly & knowledgeable. We can’t wait to return again to The Circle.

    My wife and I and two friends from out of town dined at the Circle for the first time. Food, service, and ambiance were exceptional. They offered a price fix option which we opted for and we’re not disappointed; plus it made the evening less pricey. We shall return.
