Our server was very kind and patient with us as we were celebrating several colleagues who had recently retired so we were catching up. Thank you for giving us the time and space to visit and for being so kind and gracious.

Went to Clarendon Circa for Saturday brunch. Lovely morning and we were able to sit on their outside patio. Had the French toast and chicken and waffles. Both were delicious. Service was pleasant, attentive and accommodating. Overall a great experience.

Good food but service was really slow. We were seated close to a large, very LOUD birthday party, despite the restaurant being fairly open. Servers were nice but service was very slow.
