    Brasserie Filet (10oz)  with whipped potatoes & broccolini
    Portia H.

    This is hands down my husband and I's favorite steakhouse in middle GA! We've celebrated our birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, & more at BC. Please be prepared to eat your heart out, receive excellent customer service (btw- we've never had an issue with our order), & enjoy the quaint ambiance. As you can tell, I'm obsessed with this place & you will to! Please get yourself a steak & enjoy :)

    I stumbled across this place when I ran into a drunk guy named TC who "highly" recommeded Circa. So, being that TC grew up here and "knew everyone" I took him up on the reference and snagged myself a seat at the bar (post workout and starving) The bar areanis small but nice! Full bar and a TV to keep you entertained. The specialty drinks are quite delicious (incase you were wondering) As I was sitting there I spied a giant delicious looking sushi roll.... So I ordered it (to eat for lunch the next day) and then I ordered the filet with broccoli. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection (I asked for rare) and the broccoli was a beautiful, fresh, crisp head that was very flavorful. Back to the sushi.... It didn't make it to lunch the following day. I made the mistake of trying a piece when I got back to my hotel...and then I ate it all So yeah, I'll definitely be coming back here.

    My sister's birthday celebration was here last night. We had a ton of good food and fun. Our server Ashley was magnificent. All of the dishes we had were really good from the sushi, lobster dip, shrimp and crab dip, lamb chops, shrimp pasta, crab cakes, and salmon just to name a few. The adult beverages were great as well. Thank you Circa for helping make this event memorable.

    My wife and I decided to celebrate our Anniversary dinner here at Brasserie Circa. First time eating here and it was definitely not a disappointment. I had one of the specials for the night (Chilean Sea Bass with Risotto), my wife had the Penne Siciliana, and for dessert we shared the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake. The Chilean Sea Bass was perfect. Pan seared crusted outside with a warm flakey but juicy in side, paired with the scallion and red pepper risotto was just a mouth watering dish that no one should pass up on if given the chance. Do pass up on the side sauce with parm and cappers. That gave it the perfect bite to the whole dish. The Penne Siciliana was one of the best pasta we've had. The perfect al dente penne with the savory sauce flavored with fresh delicious mushrooms, roasted red peppers and perfectly cooked blackened chicken made us keep going in for another bite. As good as the pasta dish is, you could not forget to dab the sauce up with the delicious Ciabatta toast point that was perfectly seasoned and toasted to leave a delightful crunch on the outside but a soft warm inside that just soaks up the sauce. The Crème Brûlée Cheesecake was the best way to end the meal. The fresh fruits and whip cream cradling a creamy cheesecake with a delicious crust and topped with mouth watering caramel sauce. This meal was worth it all. It may have been our first time here but it definitely won't be our last.

    Good food but good Lord, if you aren't a bougie af north Maconite then you'll be treated like you aren't wanted here. Hostess: "we don't have any tables right now" Seriously? Okay. Well, how long until you DO have a table then, honey? Isn't that how it works at restaurants. After slamming books around for a minute she then magically finds a table but again tries to discourage us by saying "but it's right in the middle of everything". We'll take it. This treatment continued through the night. I mean, we took baths and all so I guess we didn't look dirty but maybe we smelled like poor people??? I don't know. Anyway, give it a shot. It's comical, at least.

    Pretty underwhelming. Crab cakes were ok. Sushi was decent. Wish they had more non-tempura options. Ginger was actually really delicious. Dressing on the Brasserie salad had no bite and was way too sweet. Lobster ravioli were not so good. Bread was the white spongy kind. I wish they served some sort of more interesting whole grain. Greens in the side salad were pretty witty and veggies were not in season. Carrots or radishes would have been a better choice.

And that lemon and miso creamed kale topped it all off. Definitely a place to try when in Macon. The only draw back is that it's up stairs on the 2nd floor with no elevator.

It was a very basic boring salad with a frozen piece of salmon for $20. My husband ordered a burger & fries. The burger was really good & he got goat cheese & bacon on it. The fries on the other hand were not it. Bummer because they are supposedly hand cut. They were drenched in oil. Like to the point that you couldn't even eat a few without feeling awful. They were soggy & heavy. Think homemade fries but in a super old fryer with lots of crisco. Overall very underwhelming for a place with such high reviews. Won't be back! Gotta step up it up if you guys plan to stay in business for another 50 years!

I ordered all vegetable sides. My meal came with a hoecake, dessert, and a beverage. All for under $11. It's a little more if you get a meat dish, but I don't think it's much more. Let's first talk about the food. Hands down the best mac 'n cheese I've had in Macon. It's creamy and not overly greasy and doesn't feel like it's been sitting for hours in a warming tray. The butter beans were perfectly seasoned with just a hint of smoke flavor, not mushy, not greasy, perfection. The collards were also perfect. It had visible pieces of pork, wasn't overcooked, and the juice was just right - not too salty and not sweet. I'm not much of a dessert person, so probably didn't enjoy the banana pudding as much as most would have, but it was very good. And the best part? You can eat as much as you like! Let me move on to service. My server, and I wish I had asked her name, kindly came to check on me to see if I wanted seconds in anything. Yes, you heard me right! If you're still hungry, they will bring you more of whatever you want. I don't know if that's true of the meats, since I didn't get any, but definitely the sides. My server was the nicest woman. Attentive, but not hovering. She enjoyed hearing how much I liked the food and I really enjoyed our interactions. Every single person there was smiling and kind and I felt like I was having lunch in a friend's dining room. Even the chef, Christine Jackson, stopped by my table to say hello and see how I was doing. Finally, the ambiance. The restaurant itself is bare bones and a little run down, although it's obvious there was care put into it - there are table linens and centerpieces on the tables and the place is clean - they just earned a health score of 95, so no worries there. But this is not fine dining or a place for a dinner date and I absolutely loved the homey vibe. You can always get your meal to go, but then you will miss out on having seconds of that yummy food. We need to support our local businesses! Please show up for Suther'n Folke Kitchen. You'll be glad you did.
