Very disappointed to see the switch from homemade, hand-cut fries to frozen fries. That was one a standout item on your menu and something we genuinely looked forward to every visit. Authentic steak frites shouldn't be served with frozen fries.
Service and food were outstanding! Scallops were cooked perfectly and the salmon and crab special was delicious. Yummy cocktails, too!
So close to a five stars, food was good not great (food was warm not hot), service was good not great (server was a bit slow) and the tables are WAY too close together. Overall, good value, great vibe, good food, not amazing, still enjoyed our time.
Nice ambiance and good service, but the food was very hit or miss. We opened with the mussels, whose broth was pretty much a salt bomb and we quickly avoided it. No bread sopping, just the mussels. My wife's scallops with smoked pork belly were quite good. My cornbread crusted trout was baked fine, but almost completely without flavor. And undersalted. We joked about asking for the mussel broth back to drizzle over the trout. Disappointing, esp for the price.
This is our favorite French Restaurant in Savannah and come here when we visit the city. The menu is typical bistro fare and delicious! Starters: Crab Croquettes and escargots; Entrees: We both had the Filet de Porc, as center cut pork chop in a wonderful sauce. Dessert: We both had the Poached Pear. Complimented everything with a Gerard Bertrand Ch Hospitalet .
Genuinely, this was one of the best, if not the best, meal I have had in Savannah. And I do visit here often for work. Strongly recommend. 
Our server made our NYE fantastic, she was funny and so helpful! Drinks were great and food was tasty!
We were able to make a late reservation at one of our favorite restaurants when our travel plans were changed. Another great experience. Incredible food and superior service set the restaurant apart from the others in the area. Can't wait to return.
Supreme De Volaille (roasted chicken) was very good and moist. Salade De Betteraves (beet salad) was delicious. Soupe A L'Oignon Grantlnee (French onion soup) was just ok - the broth was not rich and flavorful; have had much better. The problem was the broccoli cheese soup (soup of the day) - first bowl came out and had broccoli pieces in it but was served like warm. Mentioned to server and he took back. Second bowl that came was totally different in texture and taste! Very odd, and it was so hot like heated in microwave and had a taste of being burnt. Very very slow service. We arrived before 6pm and entrees were served at 7:10pm. We did tip our server 22% for the effort. But he was an eccentric person with odd comments throughout meal. Table next to us thought the same. Expected a higher grade of service for the $$. We were also left standing at host stand for over 5 minutes before someone greeted and seated us.
Circa is under new management. Limited wine list and menu. They closed the original entrance was closed and we had to walk past trash cans and the inside of kitchen to get to our seats. The hostess placed. us at a crappy table in the main path of servers when we had a reservation. , we were on time and there were 10 available. This used to be one of the best in Savannah. It's pathetic now.

The food was great -our server was wonderful in guiding us through the menu. Wines by the glass were thoughtful and excellent
My husband and I celebrated our birthdays at Circa 1875. The dining room is beautiful, with huge gold figures holding up the ceilings. Our dinners were well prepared and delicious; I had snails and the bouillabaisse and my husband the Caesar salad and trout. Our server, Morgan , was delightful and gave terrific service. The evening was a treat! Thank you.
Again, incredible meal, service and experience. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Savannah. The frogs legs, pork chop, beef and mushroom pasta were all amazing. Love the wine cellar! Thank you for another great night!
We had a delightful dinner at Circa 1875 on our recent trip to Savannah, From entry into the historic building, the interesting faux French decor to the eclectic menu choices we were excited to try this restaurant. It did not disappoint. They have an extensive wine list which also provided to a great meal.
The cocktails were good. The mussels were good. The frites were late and just mid. The trout was not bad. The salmon was overcooked and the potatoes grossly undercooked. The waiter was knowledgeable and attentive but perhaps a bit too chatty. I would not hurry back.
