This place was quaint and cute. We had a nice brunch here. The food was alright, but not outstanding. The flavors just didn't seem to incorporate well. I appreciated the complimentary bread and butter, that's not something you usually see at a brunch spot. The butter was also a fun vanilla, peach flavor. read more

So this restaurant was very cute and very clean. But frankly, based on the seating hostess - a little full of itself! We got there 15 minutes ahead of our friends . Apparently Circa does not take reservations. They would not seat us unless we had our full party. I mean it's a small place so I totally understand that they don't want to put two people at a table of four if they end up being only two people... So, I asked if we could sit at the bar and order a drink while we waited. Ummm no! She said that that bar seating counted as seating! Who on earth turns down the potential to make money at the bar while people are waiting for the rest of their party?? It was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. If we hadn't driven an hour and a half to meet a family member who was also traveling an hour and a half from the other direction, I think we would have just walked out and gone someplace else! She actually even suggested that we go to the bar next-door and get appetizers before we come to them! Again, how stupid is that? The food was good but a little highfalutin.... I totally understand fancy food. I actually enjoy it. But there were members of our party that just wanted simple eggs and bacon. And we asked if there was like an ala-cart menu where someone could get just a regular breakfast with nothing fancy.... they did not have that option. Stupid number three. So I get it... Clearly they have a good reputation and are busy. But I'm not sure I would ever be back because of the "snottiness" attitude. They're not a Michelin star Breakfast Place. Get over yourself. I guess I just feel like they shot themselves in the foot by being so pretentious. read more

Had a bit of time to kill. Not fancy, but a sit down opportunity at the the airport. Descent fare at a little more than a Applebee's price. Outside the airport I wouldn't have been satisfied with the price point, but an ok meal for the money given the environment. read more

Came for brunch and as always the food and service was AMAZING! Very cute Christmas decor and music sets a festive atmosphere in the restaurant. We started with drinks, Irish coffee for my husband and a Brunch Punch for me. They were very good! He ordered the Stuffed French Toast and I decided on the Hoppin John Grits. The French toast was so yummy! The grits were everything I had hoped for, savory, buttery and delicious! Circa 1800 has been our go to place since our first date over 9 years ago and they just keep getting better! read more

Circa 1800 - Lamb Frite - Bars Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Our service for 6 was very good. The main issue is that the food was not hot nor even warm. The mashed potatoes were room temperature and very stiff and flavorless. The pork chop was overcooked and I ate only one. We did get a very lackluster banana pudding dessert to share but certainly not worth $9. I just do not like this place even though I keep trying. $92 for 2 w/ no alcohol. We drank water. Just not good. read more

Fast, friendly service, and cute ambiance. We got the nightly special that was a Manhattan steak over boursin cheese mashed potatoes and a wine reduction sauce with a side salad. My husband devoured it so I'm assuming it was delicious. I got the shrimp and grits which tasted amazing. It was served differently than I am used to, and it was more like a grits cake with shrimp on top, surrounded by a creamy sauce. The grits had some crunchy bits of I think bacon in it? Whatever it was, leveled it up. Highly recommend. Our friend got the brisket and gravy which she also ate all of and had no complaints. For dessert, I got the banana pudding which was beautiful to look at and the best I've ever had. Not too sweet either. It had crunchy bits of crackers mixed in and towards the bottom. Nice balance of bananas and pudding. Even if you're too stuffed, get it! You won't regret it. My husband and friend got the creme brulee and both said it was good and ate it all too. If I ever come back to Fayetteville, I'll definitely come back! read more

Wow! We had friends in from out of town and all four of us loved our meals. The short ribs were tender and flavorful. My husband said the shrimp and grits were the best he'd ever eaten. I had the perloo, which had a perfect mix of seafood, veggies and spices. One of our friends said the sea bass was a little too salty, but the risotto was phenomenal. All in all we highly recommend. read more

Circa 1800 is a wonderful breakfast spot. I see why you need to get here early! The tables are spacious. Music wasn't loud so we could talk to each other. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing. Will be coming back. read more

Circa 1800 is absolutely phenomenal. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere - it's everything you want in a fusion dining experience. Every plate is thoughtful, creative, and flat-out delicious. I am laughing out loud at some of these reviews. To the folks giving anything less than 5 stars: it's pretty clear fine fusion dining isn't for you. That's okay! There's an Applebee's down the road with microwave apps and two-for-one specials waiting for you. More Rockefeller oysters for the rest of us. read more

It is gorgeous inside and the bar is nice and they make great cocktails. I was a little disappointed in the menu but it does say southern food so that's always risky for me. Can't stand gravy and pimentos hahahahahahha! I'll definitely go back if the menu changes a bit from current. read more

This was a pleasant surprise. My friend and I stopped in for Brunch and they did not disappoint. The bread they bring out to the table is amazing. I had the Messy Benny. I was too full for dessert so guess I have to save it for next time. The service was good and fast. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Fayetteville! They are so consistent! This time around absolutely EVERYTHING I ordered was good. We sat at the bar and service was great, as usual. The drinks are always on point! I got deviled egg dip- really good! Saltine crackers were a little salty, but the dip was right on point! The swamp nachos had a different but delicious flare to them. Must try. The Fayetteville Hot Buns were the highlight!!! These were so good, the sauce had the perfect sweet and hot balance. I would come back and get just these. Ended with the Atlantic Beach Pie. Great blend of both key lime and lemon meringue pie. The saltine crust balances out the high amount of citrus. Pleasantly pleased. read more

Amazing menu items...breakfast with a twist. Service was good. The ambiance is very cute. Solid 8 out of 10 overall.

Amazing food! Never ate in, but the food is fantastic! To go is really easy. I can't be around people because of my illness.

I had high hopes for my visit to Circa 1800 but my experience here was mixed. The service was wonderful but the food not so much. I was expecting to be wowed rather than pick and choose what of the dish was edible. Circa 1800 is on the small side and a seat yourself type of place. Once full, someone stands at the door and takes names for the waiting list. Parking is free on the street Saturday and Sundays so parking is easy and plentiful. I went with the 1800 Stack Benny as I do enjoy Eggs Benedict but didn't care for this version. The menu and the waitress touted the runny yolks but my yolks were hard. The eggs were fried and not poached so that could have been why but the yolks were definitely not runny and I wanted runny. The bacon on top was good and the fried green tomatoes. The side of grits were good as was my one green grape and half of strawberry and orange slice. The shrimp cakes were ok but more filler than shrimp. This was all on a sourdough hamburger bun. It was all a dry without the runny yolks and not much hollandaise sauce was on the dish. I did get a banana pudding to go and that was the best item from Circa 1800. I wasn't given the muffins the other reviewers mention. I didn't notice if other tables were provided those. Other tables were asked if they wanted another beverage too and I wasn't so I just had the water. It is possible other dishes are better but I have no desire to return. read more

Food is always good here. We enjoy the different eclectic flavors that come from the kitchen.

Circa is the most elevated dining experience in the city of Fayetteville. Not only does the menu have creativity and passion behind it but the service is always amazing. The environment of Circa is quant and cozy, location is in the heart of downtown. They do not take reservations so there are times that you have to wait on busy evenings but it's well worth it. It's challenging to find high end cocktails in Fayetteville, most places have really sweet concoctions but Circa has really great cocktails. I wanted an espresso martini and while they can't make one due to lack of an espresso machine, they did make me a coffee martini which was delicious!! I've had several of the items from their menu, all have been amazing. They rotate their menu items with the season and also offer brunch. This is by far my favorite restaurant here in Fayetteville. I wish there were more of this caliber! read more

Where do I start?! By the time my sister and I arrived at Circa I could have eaten my own arm I was so hungry. We realized when we got there at 9:10, that they closed at 9:30. We were hesitant to go in so late but the staff was warm and welcoming. They never made us feel bad about coming in so late. We ordered drinks and a couple of appetizers. We split a Wedge and ordered the Fayetteville Hot Buns... which may be one of the best things I have ever eaten!!! AMAZING, and highly recommend. I ordered Chicken Piccata and my sister had the Sea Bass. Every single item we ordered was delicious, the staff was wonderful, and the environment is so inviting. I can't recommend this place enough and will def go back when I return to Fayetteville next time! read more

We were in town one night and chose this place for dinner, the food was wonderful. I highly recommend this place!

We were given a chance to either eat inside or outside. We chose outside, to enjoy the evening. It was quieter (and warmer) than the inside. We started with a nachos special for two, with beef. It was delicious. We then went with a salmon dish and a halibut dish. Everything was delicious. Very highly recommended. read more

We traveled a long way for Brunch at Circa 1800 and it was well worth the trip. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was really nice beautifully decorated. The prices are really good and quantity of food is more than enough. It is quaint but don't feel crowded at all. We all enjoyed our food and service. read more

What a fantastic experience. Grace was our server and she could not do enough to make our first experience at Circa 1800 the best. We started off by sharing the Hush Puppies and the Southern Egg Rolls (which I highly recommend). We went right to our mains from there. We had the Sea Bass and the Short Rib Ragu. The Sea Bass was good. Nothing wrong with it, but I don't think we would have that again. The whole dish seemed a little tired and the food I saw on other tables made me regret choosing it. The Short Rib Ragu was an absolute show stopper. The short rib was fall apart tender and the pasta was perfectly prepared. Dessert did not disappoint as we had the Banana Pudding and a daily special Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding. THIS WAS BOMB!!! Took me a second to wrap my head around all the flavors packed into the bread pudding, but once I did there was no stopping me. If they have the bread pudding next time I go I might have it as the appetizer! read more

Didn't have the same menu available at the restaurant that was displayed on this site. When I asked, I was told that "we haven't had that menu in a long time". No additional questions or any attempt to see if I could be satisfied in some other way. Good customer service is fading. I don't just pay for food, I pay for the customer service experience and I expect the advertised menu to be served! read more

Great food, great service, and located downtown. The ambiance is good. It's small and intimate. Great place for a brunch date.

For the same price and a better atmosphere just go to bonefish... When I first got stationed here, the locals told me that this was the nice high end restaurant to go on date night at. It really is not that great, bonefish is better. read more

Fantastic meal, great spot, excellent atmosphere and excellent service. While visiting Fayetteville Circa was going to be a for sure experience as it was recommended by many people. I sat at the bar and started with the wedge salad and unsweetened tea. The salad was fresh and delicious. The bread and butter was also a very nice treat. For a main dish I had the pork chop. Wow is all I can say. The mashed potatoes and chutney, granola and the chop were all top notch. This is a place I will for sure visit again next trip. For dessert I did the sweet potato bread pudding. Also amazing! Do yourself a favor and give circa a try. read more

Food tonight was excellent on my first visit. Ana was a very conscientious server, attending to everyone in the party. She brought Maisie, my friend's pet a bowl of water which was a big win. Only downside was the three folks approaching us as we walked to our cars. Asking for our leftovers, money and trying to intimidate us by disruptive arguing. Will come for lunch next time and hope for less of the distraction. A restaurant as wonderful as Circa 1800 should not have to deal with this drama. read more

I will say I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at brunch a couple of weekends ago. I had been here years ago and remembered not being impressed. So much so I haven't been back until now. But let me tell you---DELICIOUS!!!! I had the crab cake Benedict. I had coffee and the mimosa flight. Both weee great. The muffins they serve while you wait for your food were also very tasty!!!!

Beautiful ambiance, nice lighting, friendly staff and full bar. The menu is large enough to cater to most everyone, I only wish there were some vegetarian options. For dinner, I had a Moscow mule, calamari for an appetizer, it was cooked perfect and the dipping sauce complimented it well. The shrimp and grits for dinner was incredible.
