    Very disappointed. The bread service is not what it used to be. Took us over 2 hour to receive our main course. My dinner was almost warm when I received it. It took 3 times for the bartender to get my drink right. So disappointed!!!

    Portions small. Seem to be more focused on presentation than taste.

    The prix fixe menus on holidays is always outstanding. The combination of tastes and textures is surprising but delectable— some of the best meals I have had in the States. I had the Burning Embers drink tonight — it was infused with smoke — and it was delightful. Service is wonderful, and the restaurant is always lovely. Worth every penny.

    There were way too many people for the 12:30-1:30 timeframe. We were so packed in there and I felt badly for the employees. They were so pleasant, kind, patient, and polite. But their job was so difficult given the amount of guests packed into that room at one time. Yet a back room was a wonderful size and had one family in it. That was it. Also, while much of the good was delicious, some of it was terribly not. Whomever made the mashed potatoes needs a lesson in overuse of salt. I usually salt everything yet I didn’t and I still couldn’t eat them. They were that salty. Our server was the sweetest, though. As was the entire staff. They were actually the best part.

    Our family are frequent patrons to the Circular. On this trip we came in with eight adults. The server was attentive, the food and drinks were very good; but the timing of the service of the food was beyond slow. We were there over 95 minutes before the main course was served at our table. We also waited over 20 minutes to receive our desserts after they were ordered. By the time we finished our desserts, and waited to pay our check; over three hours had gone by. There was not a large crowd; it was just an extremely slow process. We will be back, as this is the first time we have ever had to wait this long for our meals / food at the Circular.
