We visited the restaurant with friends and were so excited to check out Circ because we heard it was a fun spot. My husband and I really enjoy unique dining experiences and we make an effort to eat out at these type of locations often. We have a very good grasp of what the Madison restaurant scene offers. Circ was beyond disappointing. We arrived for our reservation for 6 people at 6:30pm. When we arrived there were only two other table seated in the entire restaurant. When we were seated we waiting close to 20 minutes before our server greeted us and took our drink order. I ordered a cocktail and my husband ordered a beer. There was only one other cocktail ordered at our table otherwise the rest were waters. from the time I ordered my drink did not show up for over an hour and 45 minutes. Multiple times we talked to the server who told us the bar was backed up and to the manager who stuck to the same script. Our food did not show up for 1 hour and 35 minutes after we ordered. The ironic part about their false story was that tables around us were served cocktails and the same entrees some of us ordered. As our food landed it was cold and so late that our group was outraged. We decided to leave the restaurant and as we stood up my cocktail arrived. IT was so frustrating. THe manager on staff brought us a bottle of wine but we still waited another 50 minutes for cocktails. He was not apologetic or helpful when we pulled him aside 3-4 different times to ask about the same thing. The experience was a nightmare. I would discourage any restaurant lovers from visiting. You will be disappointed. IT was shocking how little they did to resolve the entire situation.

I booked a room at the Concourse Hotel in early December and had a great experience (beautiful and clean facilities) and with all reason I was expecting the same quality from their restaurant. I was looking forward to having breakfast the next morning so before checking out I visited the restaurant and requested to have the breakfast buffet option. I was so dissapointed! there was absolutely no variety in the "cold" section, server forgot my coffee and the warm options I got were decent enough. We paid $30 plus tip and it was definitely not worth it. I even thought to myself we couldve gone to Brunch Club and have gotten better service and food for the same (or less) amount of money. Definitely needs improvement, especially being within the amazing Concourse Hotel!

Stopped in for dinner during Winter Restaurant Week. There was one other table of people in the entire place. This should have been a red flag as MRW is always busy. I ordered the Seafood Chowder, which tasted ok but was a really odd looking brown/grey color. My partner had the pear salad, which he did not enjoy. It was very bitter. Main course didnt have a lot of flavor and arrived cold. My toffee pudding for dessert was the size of an Oreo. It was tasty, but certainly nothing fantastic. There are lot of other places to try for MRW, and lots of other places near the square. Try those instead.

We had a gorgeous dinner at the Dayton St. Grill last night. The spinach salad with goat cheese croquettes was extraordinary. My husband was delighted with his swordfish and I was thrilled with my diver scallops. This restaurant should be packed every night. Well be back tonight and Im having the exact same meal! Were staying at the hotel and are enjoying the Governors Club Lounge -- very lively with good breakfast and snacks.

Went here due to a $10 off coupon in the City Tin. Service was quick and friendly. I got the green tomato open faced sandwich which was delicious. Also tried a bite of my boyfriends burger which was great too. Definitely planning on coming back here. Good food and not too expensive.

I have only eaten their lunch buffet here and their selection is not bad. If you like salads and cold pasta type meals for lunch, this is your spot. There are additional items on the menu to be explored as well

One of the best restaurants in the Triangle region of NC, but one of my favorites in the nation. Great service, creative and authentic Laotian food. Worth going back again...and again...and again!

The vanilla bean french toast is the best french toast I have ever tried! Do yourself a favor and order from the entrees instead of the buffet.

$8 for that portion of French toast with nothing really special about it wasnt worth it.
