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.
Sadie
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.

Circa 1875 in Savannah is a fine dining restaurant mascarading as a casual French bistro. Food was great; our server was one of the best I’ve seen; a veteran with a sparkling sense of humor and seemingly unfrazzled by anything. The food was well seasoned, and given its coastal location had great variety of seafood served a la francaise. The atmosphere was lovely, with antique French posters on the walls and a buzz of happy patrons.

Beautiful restaurant. Service was excellent. The seafood boulubaise was salty. The steak was excellent.

Our group came down for the SCAD Savannah Film Festival and made a reservation for 8 at Circa 1875. Lauren was a wonderful server and extremely attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend checking out this spot!
Mandy from the Pirates House, recommended this restaurant and specifically the French Onion Soup and the Bouillabaisse. We passed on the FOsoup but the bouillabaisse was delicious as were the rest of our dishes, including desserts.

Thank you so much Donnie! Bar service was so excellent, as well as the drinks he suggested and made. Food was phenomenal, we had the Mussels in a white wine & cream sauce which were extremely fresh (from Prince Edward Island), the Crab Coquettes that had minimal filling with remolaude and light greens, and a steak tartare that was simple and exquisite. Thank you all for the great experience!

This restaurant is one of the best Savannah has to offer. From the ambiance and atmosphere, food and service, 10 out of 10 recommend. We sat at the bar and received 5 star service. Donnie is so knowledgeable and his drinks were out of this world. The food was so delicious. We will definitely be back!

The service was slow and a bit disorganized, with our server seeming inattentive throughout the evening. We gave him a pass because the place was packed with diners and it appears lacking in staff. We assumed he had many tables. When our food arrived, it was very disappointing - too heavy on butter and oil, completely lacking seasoning, and honestly inedible. We did not finish our appetizers or main courses!!! When I politely mentioned the issue, the server seemed surprised but offered no solution, no apology, and no manager follow-up!!

I felt like I was on a tour through France from my first to the last bite. Ratatouille was in the top 3 most flavorful dishes I've ever had. Creme brulee was definitely the best I've been had. This isn't even mentioning the top-notch service - absolutely fantastic spot for a romantic or casual bite or drink.
