“Circa 81 just may be my new favorite restaurant in the area.Highlights:Tapas menu selection is diverse.Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared.Service was professional. (Jared was our waiter).Appropriately priced.Best dish we ordered was the Garlic & Shrimp. It was divine! The garlic sauce was rich & velvety while the shrimp were expertly cleaned & prepared and cooked to perfection!Everything we ordered was great.As for the service, everyone (from the hostess, to the manager) was friendly and attentive. Even showing initiative when something was needed. You can tell that this restaurant is extremely well run & that the people who make this delicious food take pride in what they are doing.Decor is a bit dated & could use an update. Avoid the booth seating to the right when you walk in the front door. It's at a slightly downward slope so I felt like I was slipping out of my seat for the entire meal.Otherwise all was perfect and we'll definitely be back!“

“I like a standard breakfast and for me, I went with the special All American breakfast platter with two pancakes eggs to my liking, I did scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage (or bacon or ham), and their famous grits.The pancakes were light and fluffy and soaked up the whipped butter and syrup. My eggs were scrambled to perfection. The sausage was a standard sausage patty pretty good. The home fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with out being overdone well seasoned with a seasoning salt that brings us to the grits. They were creamy with a touch of salt, in short really delicious. It was nearly the perfect breakfast and I felt at home and well taken care of. This place has quite a wait sometimes which we know only means it’s really good. I’ll be back next time I’m in Morehead City for sure.Parking: In a strip mall so plenty of parking“

“Aside from being vinegar-based, the meat's texture was just okay. It felt it was a little on the 'sitting too long's side of things.The red sauce was watery and weird to me, but that's just me. Compared to the hundreds of sauces across the country, the red sauce rates low (by me and for me).Fries were nice and crispy.Location was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.“

“We read some reviews and decided to try this restaurant. We were also coming from the beach and were wind blown and sandy, ie not dr3ssed for a fancy place.Hubs had the Mahi Mahi and cup of clam chowder . He loved both. The chowder was rich with clams! I had the Captains platter, and it was delicious.The only complaint was that my food cooled off very quickly as it was on a big platter. I felt that I had to rush through my food to eat it warm. Other than that, the server (Lexi) was very attentive and informative.“
