    What a find for us! We walked in last Saturday evening without reservations and were promptly seated. The decor is old, fine dark wood, the wait staff looks sharp in their white starched aprons, the service was EXCELLENT (Thank you Rich!) and the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Then to top it off, THE PRICING WAS FANTASTIC! Finally a place where the fine entre's are reasonably priced! I had a NY strip, that was simply tender and delicious for $15!! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant, only that we will come back when we revisit Wilmington!!!!

    Wow, my husband and I love Circa.....one of the few truly consistent restaurants in Wilmington. We especially enjoy their $5.00 suishi plates on Tuesday night. We try to go every week, when my husband is in town. The service is awesome, either at the bar or in regular seating. The servers are top=notch and very knowledgeable. We recently tried some of the tapas, which are good, also. This is a place you'll want to take out of town company to....you won't get any "bad" surprises.

    This is one of the finest downtown restaurants in Wilmington, with surprizingly reasonable prices. Attentive service in an elegant setting. Some tapas dishes, but I prefer the regular menu, particularly the fish dishes. Highly recommended.
