    I’ve eaten at Circe several times, with different groups of family and friends. Every time, we love every appetizer, entree, and drink. It’s an excellent restaurant. The deviled eggs and fish taco appetizers and butternut squash soup are scrumptious. Also love the lychee martini. Our server Jordan (whom I’ve been fortunate to have as our server three times) is amazing. So kind, attentive, flexible, perfectly timed with each check-in, and gracious! Jordan makes a great experience even better.

    What a great way to spend the Winter Solstice. It’s 20 degrees out and we’re at Pot au Feu having a piping hot bowl of the best Onion Soup you can find in New England. Wonderful melted gruyere cheese over a perfectly sized French bread crouton with onions and a tasty steaming broth. Of course, we had our usual Pot du Chocolat for desert with coffee. Our waitress Antigone guided us through a great meal with a bottle of nouveau Beaujolais.
