Our server, Jay, was amazing. He made great suggestions and we loved all of the rolls we tried because of him. The arekusa roll was the best roll I have ever eaten in my life. It melted in my mouth. Highly suggest, and worth the $. The restaurant has a great decor.

Our server DeAngelo, whom I was meeting for the first time, was outstanding in every respect. He was the epitome of what a good server should be.

We really enjoyed the food and the service. As one member of our party commented - fried here is not deep fat fried like most US restaurants, it is pan fried - so the texture is light and crispy. We especially liked the pan fried fish and the stand-out of the evening for both taste and texture was the Tacu-Tacu - a lowly bean and rice cake. It was delicious! Our party was double the age of the average diner, but we were made to feel welcome. Also while you definitely heard the background music - it was genuine background music and we were able to hear and enjoy our conversation.

I love circa bistro. The food is delicious. The drinks are refreshing. The service is Mateo, Mateo, Mateo! He's superb. He's the reason why I come to Circa. He recommends the best dishes, the best drinks, the best dessert. He's my reason for 10/10! 5 stars! 1 spotlight! Go to Circa, request Mateo! Thats it! The rest will write itself!!!!

I always make reservations for our meeting groups here, but I’ve never gone myself. So thought I’d check it out so I could give my honest opinion. It was great! Edison seated us and he was absolutely the best. He answered all our questions and actually made good suggestions. The food was amazing. We ordered the wasabi created fried oysters as appetizers. Nice light and crispy coating and the wasabi was on the side so we could put on as much it as little as we wanted. We ordered a Spritz and the pino from Oregon. Went perfectly with our Steak and catfish with crawfish étouffée . we were too full to order dessert. Oh and the She crab soup!! Soooo creamy and just enough spice. We will be coming back. Chefs kisses toThe Warehouse🥰 Shout out to Edison our VERY polite and attentive server🥰🤘

We came back specifically for the she crab soup and were not disappointed. The rockfish was excellent as well. Always a nice time at the Wharf! Just make sure you aren’t expecting an important call/text as there is zero service inside!
