The tapas and the service were top notch. My only complaint is that the A/C was on and although I had a jacket the AC was set too low and it was uncomfortable to eat in the cold. If you don't mind a low temperature, this is the place to eat
Paul our server was knowledgeable, made suggestions and wasn't obtrusive. Tapas were great.
A very nice evening with great food. I'm sorry but I can't remember our servers name. He was very attentive and personable. ( shorter dark hair)
My friends and I have been there for many Sunday brunches over the last year or so and it never disappoints. The service and food are very good and the staff is pretty stable. You see a lot of the same faces.
First time here and, when we're back in the area, we WILL return! Tapas plates were generously portioned and absolutely delicious! The seasonal dishes and drinks were amazing! And the service was even better!
We're in Morehead once a year and ALWAYS make Cira 81 a must go! Warning, though, those small plates will fool you, but we happily over-eat every time! Don't even think about it - make your reservations now!
Great menu options and friendly knowledgeable staff. Variety of drinks and Brunch is fantastic
Our server could not have been sweeter. She was very professional and friendly. She had great recommendations and we loved just about everything. The seared tuna was absolutely insane and worth the trip alone. Our table enjoy the rack of lab, risotto, dumplings, rustic bruschetta and salads. Chefs tour was ok. There were more pickled vegetable items that cheeses and meats which would be great if that's what you wanted. We expected bread rather than everyday crackers. The cocktails were delicious before and for dessert. Highly recommend the smores, lava cake and chocolate crème brûlée. will return soon for more.
Exceptional service! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in town.
Our server Danni was attentive and made sure that all of our wants were fulfilled. The menu was precise and concise. The food was fresh and delicious, the presentation appetizing, and the timing great. Everything was well worth the prices. We didn't have to wait long for our food. We'll definitely be back.

We had a great experience at Circa 81! We had reservations, and were promptly seated upon arrival. Also, the host had called earlier in the day to confirm and recommend the “best seat in the house” - the high top in the corner by the bar. Great customer service ahead of time as well! Our server and staff were amazing, friendly, and attentive to our questions/requests. The food...simply amazing! We chose several small plate dishes...oh my they were cooked to order, made to perfection, and delivered to our table promptly! My wife's favorite dish of the night were the pot stickers, and my favorite was the seafood mac & cheese! Until the chocolate lava cake dessert hit the table! Great experience, totally recommend this as a first choice for special occasions, a night out on the town, or when you're in the mode for a tapas style dinner. We'll be back!!
This place was magical! The food was excellent, the service was top-notch and they really went out of the way for our family. Thank you all for a wonderful night!

They promote the restaurant as gluten free online but then charge $3 extra for each small plate that is marked gf optional. We also ordered the gf bread thinking it would be a homemade recipe, but nope it was literally slice of bread from a loaf they bought at the store. Disappointing! Also if you pay the bill with a credit card, they will tack on a 3% fee.
