    Best pizza in eastern North Carolina. 10/10 service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]10/10 vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect view/location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Breakfast Sandwich Torched

    We have been Jack's regulars for several years. Lunch, dinner & and Sunday brunch. You name it we are there. So much so, I bought a sweatshirt on the way in to today's visit to show my support. We know restaurants can't always be exceptional every visit but today's brunch visit was poor on several levels. The margarita pizza crust was paper thin, wiggly and raw. It was so weak it wouldn't hold toppings. The breakfast sandwich was served obviously torched. I'm surprised it made it passed the expo and server and made it to the table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The day outside on the deck was beautiful tho.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've added photos/videos to support this review.

    Went here for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside on the second floor is very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good view of the ocean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and a good pizza and local beer.

    Super delicious

    We enjoyed the service and food on our visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sunset view the night we came by was stunning![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Excellent thin crust pizza! We also had their max & cheese with meatball skillet. M&C was really good. Meatballs good but nothing to write home about. Service was good. We will be back.

    No toppings can stay aboard

    Chicken Salad Sandwich

    Stars based on price vs portions mainly. At this point in COVID & Big Rock, I'd say this was otherwise Pimento cheese skillet was laughable. Portions of fries were super small. Siracha wings were out so our friend went boneless and I think that was the best thing on the table. Waitress Kat was hands down the best part of our visit. She's awesome.

    The food is mediocre at best. Do not recommend the crab cake. The sauce was not real aioli and really detracted from the taste.

    Had the margarita pizza, delish. I always ask for crispy crust and mine was a bit undercooked but not doughy. Great on tap beer selection.

    Food is very poor and bland. Not to mention pricey for what you get. Too many other places that are far better in the area

    Second anniversary dinner we have celebrated here. Drove about 90 mins to eat here both times. Here…read moreis what I'll say about this place: A lot of places charge high prices for dinner these days and prop up their restaurant with above average service and good decoration. 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. Great meal, great service, worth the time and $$. It is rare to get a good deal and still spend $$$$ these days. This is the spot.

    It's our first time back after a disastrous dinner two years ago. Tonight we were pleasantly…read moresurprised. Dinner was very good. Then came dessert. No peach ice cream for you. Really? No one in the restaurant. No run on bread pudding w peach ice cream tonight. Disappointing end to what was a good dinner experience. Waiter went back and asked No peach ice cream for you!! Think about that as our last memory of our visit. Waitress dropped off flavored oil because there was no ability to have ice cream. Thank you. She went above and beyond

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 went to discover the place. It is a nice set up. We like very much the big number of the small…read moreplates going from $11 to $25. Diversified and well presented. - Crabe cake: pretty good but missing citrus coleslaw so a 7/10 - Brie with pepper jolly: probably the one we appreciate the most of the 3. Could have more toast though. - sesame seed seared tuna : good, 8/10 Overall the idea of trying many dishes is probably the most valuable option here. A little remark about our waiter is that we were not cared for but we were at the bar so that might be the reason.
