    Dover Sole was a nightly special. It was kind of pricey but not for Dover Sole. However it was the smallest I’ve ever had and not cooked the way I think it should be. It’s a very thin fish. Cooking it to be very crispy on the outside is way overcooking this fish. The rest of our dishes were very good. $40 is most I’ve ever paid for Lagavulin and although it’s a great scotch, it’s not worth $40.

    We had a wonderful evening. Every dish was fantastic and the kitchen accomplished our entire order with a power outage occurring throughout almost our entire meal. Bravo!

    We had not been back for some time but so glad we did. It was a perfect evening. All 4 of us enjoyed our dinners. Our waiter could not have been more attentive and just a delight giving us perfect recommendations. The addition of the the liquor license is nice too. The cocktails were delicious!

    This was the second time we went to the circle, and it may have been even better. Each dish is near perfect, and the staff is friendly and receptive to your needs. The food is definitely the highlight. The meal is very well timed, food came out exactly when I wanted it.

    Our meal was outstanding! Perfect. Pricey, yes, but if you are looking for well thought out food, innovative and within the season- you will NOT be disappointed. Everything was so amazingly tasteful and tastefully done. I also love the quaintness of this old house turned restaurant. It has ambiance and character. Perfection.
