    $48 ribeye. Ordered medium rare, came out medium.
    Harry W.

    Was told a 45 min wait but the hostess said it would be before that and it was only 30 mins. I would rather be early than over the 45. Service was good and the place was clean. Didn't see the waiter as much as we wanted to but it looked like they were short staffed. It took a while for the dinner to come out but I can understand that with the amount of people there for the Big Rock Blue Marlin event. My only complaint was the steak. I asked for medium rare but got medium. It was seasoned very well. Everyone else's food was great.

    I came in here and had the Prime Rib Crostini. Was the best thing I have had here. And everything from the service, drinks to the food was amazing.

    Pain killer cocktail

    We decided to stop in for New Year's Eve and take a chance at 5:00pm for a party of 5. Luckily they were able to accommodate. They sat us and we had a very attentive server, I'm sorry I forgot his name as it was a unique name. He continually made sure that we were well taken care of. We started with cocktails which were delicious. Three of us had a Painkiller and one had a Mich Ultra. The cocktails were a perfect start. I then had six oysters on the half shell since they are in season (any month with an r). The others had the Honey Pecan Shrimp. They said they were delicious. For dinner I had a Shrimp and Scallop Scampi dish. First off the dish was delicious with plenty seafood. From my picky foodie perspective I was expecting a few nice size scallops but there were quite a few of the small Bay Scallops. Also, the description was in a lemon caper sauce which was incorrect as it was a creamy Alfredo sauce with no capers. It was very creamy and cheesy and delicious so despite both of these observations, it was a good choice. The whole dinner would have been perfect with some nice warm fresh bread. The ambience is very nice and can be from casual to upscale. It is my understanding that this is another great choice from the restaurant group that owns Red Fish and Table 9. Give this establishment a try if in Morehead City. You won't be disappointed.

    Amazing atmosphere, food and service. Beet salad for the win. Lots of fresh seafood, we went with Oysters. Yummy

    Shrimp and scallop linguine

    Food was excellent. The ahi tuna burger was tasty. The aioli had just enough kick to be tasty, very flavorful. The fries were hot and tasty and plentiful.. The shrimp and linguine had lots of shrimp and was tasty as well. The service was great. Loved the atmosphere. Will need to go back for the oysters. Sorry for the blue tint on the pictures. No clue.

    Stuffed Mahi with mashed potatoes and squash

    My partner and I went here for a dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! super friendly and attentive staff who anticipated our every need. They answered all our questions and accommodated our drink preferences. Food was absolutely delicious and we'll be visiting again on our next vacation!

    Raw Oysters
    Justin R.

    Great spot down on the waterfront in Morehead City right across from the marina. The dining areas are really inviting and you can watch oysters being roasted over open flames while sipping ice cold water served in old woodford reserve bottles. The menu is pretty straightforward for what you would expect in a coastal town with lots of traditional options (shrimp tacos, tuna burgers, scampi, etc). The portions are pretty generous but it is a tad on the pricey side with raw oysters clocking in at $3 a piece and kids options ringing in at $12 per entree. I don't mind the premium if the service is commensurate and I will say that the entire staff did a great job. There was a little confusion after we were first seated and had to wait about 7 mins for our server to come over but after that she was on point. Everything was super tasty including the yellowfin tuna which was cooked perfectly and served over a bed of leafy greens with wasabi and sweet soy sauce. It could have used a side of some rice or something else given the $32 price point but it was definitely great. You can get basically the same thing with the tuna burger for $18 and it comes with fries. Overall it was a great meal and would definitely be a place we will visit again.

    Clam chowder
    Logan H.

    Food was absolutely delicious. Only complaint was the slight grittiness of the shrimp scampi. Everything else was perfect. My waiter was charismatic and quite friendly. I loved the service. The ambiance was decent, but no amazing outdoor seating as the competitor's have. Tables have comfortable seating though. I'd you're looking for good seafood, this is a solid choice. Their specials always hit right.

    Cool wall mural

    Atmosphere was great and the service was as well! The shrimp tempura appetizer was amazing!! After noting to the waiter we had had less than stellar dinners they served a pasta dish with way overcooked shrimp. We sent them back, and the same was served!

    Jess M.

    This is one of the best in the area. Service is always good...it is a very nice, relaxed and cassier place. Their charbroiled oysters are a DEFINITE must. Everything else we've had here has also been excellent. It is great for date night and also for larger groups too. We come here often, for nicer occasions and also when we have a craving for the oysters.

    Husband was so excited to eat! Yummy ribeye and truffle Mac and cheese!
    Samantha W.

    AMAZING - DELICIOUS - FABULOUS STAFF Order the ribeye and the Mac and cheese, so amazing and delicious. Caesar salad was perfect with homemade croutons. We were SO PLEASED! The staff was so quick, friendly and helpful. Definetly visit here if you want a nice, delicious meal in a fun location near the water!

This place is the real deal. You definitely pay a lot. However, the food is absolutely worth the price you pay. This is a restaurant that talks the talk and walks the walk. The wedge salads is beyond comprehension how good it is. The bread is transcendent. I got the dry aged steak and my wife got the wagyu. Both were true to definition fine dining. My wife insisted on the truffle fries as a shareable side and by gosh they were the best fries ever had...that being said...wagyu 5oz is $130. You aren't going wrong here.

The bartender was busy working and singing in between taking orders as she prepared drinks for customers. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered the specials before we placed our order. We love to sample the menu when we travel and the vast menu of tapas gave us the perfect opportunity to try just about everything. They had a smaller wine selection, but there was something for just about everyone. Our waiter was very attentive and offered suggestions on what to try if we were torn between several menu options. The Spanish lamb meatballs, truffle honey pork belly and rosemary beef were the tapas that stood out as the most flavorful and making us each want just one more bite. The Spanish meatballs were glazed with sriracha which caused me to pause before ordering. However, I'm so happy that we gave them a try. They had a bold flavor, but the whipped feta and cilantro were enough to balance the heat. The truffle honey pork belly was sliced differently. We have only had this cut into cubes at other restaurants in the past. The way that they slice the pork belly is so much better. The pork belly was served with cheese grits. We don't even like cheese grits, but could not get enough of these smoked Gouda grits. The rosemary beef with asparagus and mashed potatoes was perfect. The beef was tender, the asparagus cooked to perfection and who doesn't love mashed potatoes. We visit the crystal coast about twice a year and always try a couple of new places. We look forward to coming back to Circa 81 each time that we visit!

We ordered the Half Chef's Tour, which is their charcuterie, and it was honestly one of my favorite parts of the night. Great variety, really well balanced, and perfect for sharing. It set the tone for the whole meal. The scallop nightly special was perfectly cooked with that golden sear and super tender inside. The rosemary steak had so much flavor and was cooked exactly right. The Brussels were crispy and savory, and even the potstickers were a standout. Nothing felt like an afterthought. Service was perfect for the tapas setting too. Not rushed, we didn't feel over bothered, but not neglected either. Overall, it felt elevated but still comfortable. A great experience without feeling over the top. We'll definitely be back.

The menu is creative both for food and drinks, and you're definitely going to need a reservation to get seated. While you're there expect top notch service, and food that is really good, but at least in my experience, falling a bit short of the excellence the prices are aiming for. We were all kind of hungry and thirsty when we came in, having spent the day on Shackleford island, and being shut down at every turn by the restaurant we stopped into first hoping to have some appetizers (they were out of everything we asked about). This boded well for Parrott's, we got several apps and cocktails in addition to our mains. Unfortunately, it was really those apps that I felt fell short. Our waiter talked up the lamb meatballs to the point where we were really expecting to be blown away, and ultimately, they were pretty ordinary, and just two of them, making it hard to split amongst 6 people. Same could be said for the pork belly bbq skewers, they were small and didn't thrill any of us. The main courses made up for those shortcomings, a couple of us got the grouper, there was a scallops and grits order, a delicious pesto chicken pasta, and some crab cakes that I ended up being pretty jealous of because they stole the show. These mains were a good size helping, and each robust in their own ways, showcasing creativity and excellence in the kitchen. In the end, for the amount of the bill, you expect everything to be top notch up and down, and it fell short of that to me... but not so drastically so that I wouldn't recommend the place to others, with the caveat to have appetizers somewhere else first.

Step one should be the same for everyone. Get there when they open at 4:45 because damn does this place get busy quick even on weekdays.

Clam Chowder - Scalloped Scallops - Key Lime Pie I'll just keep it at this. Is anything I ordered going to reinvent the culinary wheel? No, and one could argue that the only negative here is that most everything is on the pricey side. But with that said, everything was extremely consistent, everything was brought out perfectly timed, my cup never runnethed (sure, it's a word) empty and the bar staff are all excellent conversationalists. Also one big upside, the ambiance. The bar area is kept dark as it should be in any bar type situation and the music selection was mostly a fantastic mix of classic R&B and Blues.
