Tried Circa 81 for the first time tonight and we loved it. The staff were all welcoming and attentive, the food was fantastic (the brussels, omg) and the drinks were delicious. We have a new “must-visit” next time we're in town.

This was our second year coming to Circa 81 while staying at Emerald Isle. We were there celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary. The service was amazing and beyond the top and our waitress was very nice, made sure our drinks were filled and we got our food in a timely manner. One of the waiters remembered us from last year and sat and talked with us for a few minutes. Very nice and quiet. We stayed for over two hours just enjoying the amazing food and desserts, which I would try all of them especially the cheesecake. We plan on returning and recommending it to our friends and family.

I very nice dinner, the food was great and we loved being able to order several small plates giving us a nice variety of things to try. Prices were reasonable and the service was excellant as well
Mary Ellen
We always enjoy Circa 81. Cocktails were great, wait staff very professional- attentive but not hovering, and the scallops over Gouda grits - outstanding!
Patty
Food was delicious!! Will definitely go back. All the pricing is reasonable as well. A nice change!

Circa 81 remains our favorite restaurant. Never disappoints and their specials are truly special! Take last night. I ordered the sea scallops in a chipolte/honey glaze. Big, succulent scallops, perfectly cooked. Melt in your mouth scallops. Our side salad, which we split, was fine, too. A nice ginger dressing. Hubs got his fav, the rosemary beef. Coupled with two nice glasses of a New Zealand white and coffee at the finish left us filed with joy and satisfaction. And as always, sweet service. Cant' wait to go back!

We stop here whenever we can when we're down at the beach. The food is always incredible and the quality very consistent. They have the best seared tuna on the coast! Everything is great and we will continue to go back over and over again.

My visiting girlfriend and I love to go to Circa for one of our meals out. We try to hit the special martini night and enjoy those and tapas items. Last night did not disappoint! We capped off the evening with chocolate creme brulee. Garrett welcomed and seated us right away and Jared was a wonderful, attentive server. We will be back for her visit next year and I will certainly be back all throughout the year.
