The salmon was a little overcooked, but everything else was so perfect. Atmosphere, cleanliness, and service. The waiter was attentive and polite. The food presentation was exceptional. Great background music and perfect lighting make a romantic setting. The modern-day decor gives this restaurant a unique vibe.

My husband and I live in the area and wanted to come by to try the Circa Bar and Kitchen. First of all the atmosphere is really nice for a hotel restaurant and the staff were super freindly!
We had the Calabrian Chili Hummas, and Butter Chicken Flat Bread to start (see picture). Both were super fresh and tasted amazing (especially the flat bread). For entres we had the Heart of Texas Burger and Hydroponic Mix Green Salad. The burger was jucy and had great flavor. The salad was fresh and was so yummy! For drinks we had the Steele Rita and the Cameron Park Punch (see picture) Both were absolutely perfect! We will definitely be coming back!

We had the pleasure of dining at the wonderful Circa Bar and Kitchen! We had delicious sweet tea and excellent service from Yesenia to start , by the pool. We moved inside the lovely Great Room, as we waited for our Butter Chicken Flatbread (served with an Indian flair). It was superb. Next, we were treated to an amazing pan-crusted salmon entree along with a tasty chicken kabob platter, served with a spinach/kale, blue cheese salad! Yum yum! We could tell that everything must have been prepared by a seasoned chef! We passed along many compliments to the kitchen, until Chef Eddie actually came out to visit us personally! It was truly a memorable evening with both perfect atmosphere and staff to match. Thank you, Circa and Chef Eddie! Final word... Get down here and try it for yourself. It a fresh approach a healthy dining experience. All the best!

Circa bar and kitchen never fails to impress. I go here weekly and the Bar staff is very attentive. Jacq makes the best drinks. I tried the brussels sprouts, they did not disappoint. The mozzarella cabrese flat bread was very flavorful.
