This was our first visit in a year +. Our last visit earned a mediocre review because the place (server's fault probably) exuded a "foo foo" vibe. Left just soaked in it. This visit - totally different! Host was terrific and his positivity and low key charm was a perfect welcoming attitude. Our server was friendly, fun, helpful, efficient and professional. Food was very well prepared and served hot - no mean feat since 2 large groups ordered ahead of us. Based on the experience and the food quality, the value for the $ was very good. We will make it a point to go more often after this excellent experience. read more

Hugely overpriced. $180. For a lunch for four. Old run down building. Food was good but not that good

I couldn't be more satisfied with the dining experience my party of 5 had at Circa last evening. To begin with, they were super accommodating to our wheelchair guest logistic needs. The wait staff were on it all evening, knowledgeable and experienced. Her recommendations from drinks to entrees were excellent. The food, oh my, what can I say to convey how incredible that is. I had the shrimp and grits entree, wonderful flavor with lots of big shrimp and andouille sausage in grits that were perfect. The grouper special was equally outstanding, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Lastly, the place had a great vibe with a crowd of people who appeared to enjoy their experience as much as we did ours. My biggest regret is how far away we live preventing us from being more frequent guests. read more

Food was really good! My husband ordered ribeye and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. I enjoyed small plates more than my entree though. Gnocchi was a bit overcooked and it was very mushy. Lobster was fresh and cooked perfectly though. Overall was great. It was really loud. We barely could hear each other without yelling. Not sure that was their normal atmosphere or not. It was a Saturday night. We also got to try the wonton for their anniversary as well. The dipping sauce was delicious! read more

While it's still very loud, the quality of food has improved since our last visit several years ago. The waitress did a great job of making sure we were comfortable. The dishes were excellent. This was arguably the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. read more

This is my sweet favorite hidden away gem in my local treasure chest. It's so hidden away you kinda just stumble on this beautiful farm style restaurant. With rich local history of Thompson's Station. You walk inside a modest building to be fooled by its absolutely romantic contemporary decor and lighting. Service is STELLAR and never rushed if you're family and friends. Food is so fresh and worth every penny. The staff has always been amazing. EVERYONE there I went out of my way to talk to were great people. They all seem to be proud of their job as well. A little pricey but you will be eating on this food for DAYS! read more

Fantastic dinner at Circa! Focaccia bread was soft, delicious and a perfect way to start our meal along with great cocktails. The lamb chops and the trout were incredible. Full of flavor and deliciousness! The bread pudding dessert was something we wish we could have every night. Service was the best. Laura and Camille were amazing. We'll definitely be back as often as possible. read more

Hidden down the street from Columbia Highway lies a true piece of Tennessee culture, that is Circa. Stopped in for date night on a Thursday; had Ms. Janis as our server who was overall wonderful. We had Ceviche for our appetizer, if you're like us and enjoy spicy with a touch of avocado, this dish is for you. Although the restaurant has been here for over ten years, it's not talked about enough. We had the bbq chicken and salmon, with marinated tomatoes. The chicken was cooked perfectly, served with jalapeño cornbread and collard greens, easily the best thing we've eaten all week. The salmon was also cooked perfectly, served with couscous and veggies, that was overall bland as a whole dish. We'd be willing to order the salmon again when changed with the seasonal menu. Cocktail menu looked fantastic, excited to come back for Saturday happy hour or brunch. Thank you for a flavorful experience. read more

We came back to celebrate our engagement dinner with our family and it's was nothing short of amazing! I got the crusted ribeye and it's was mouth watering! Buttery savory goodness. The halibut on zucchini plank was also amazing and our pork belly apps were great as well! Our server was very friendly and the vibes were good all around. Will continue to revisit when we are in town! Thank you Circa! read more

Came in for brunch on a Sunday morning (highly suggest a reservation). Had a man-mosa which was tasty and started off with some biscuits. These biscuits were buttery and so delicious. The strawberry jam was also amazing. For my meal I got the hot chicken on a Belgian Waffle. Chicken was nice and crunchy and the waffle was fluffy. It had just a little bit of heat and hit the spot. Could only get halfway through it all because it was so much food. Will definitely be back for brunch and can't wait to try a dinner. read more

Circa is such a hidden gem and easily the best restaurant in the Spring Hill/Thompson's Station area. We love going there for special occasions! These photos were from our anniversary last year. We splurged on appetizers, steaks, sides, desserts, cocktails. Everything was delicious. I believe their menus rotate seasonally which keeps it exciting! Love how fresh and well-sourced all of their ingredients are. read more

Our dinner was fantastic. We got the stuffed poblano for our appetizer and split the filet and burger for entrees. Everything was incredible, including the staff. We will be back! read more

We had four adults and two grade school kids - we ordered a cinnamon roll as a pass around appetizer as we were all very hungry. It was very large and delicious. Hubby had a pimento cheeseburger and I had the Spring pasta with peas, poached chicken, asparagus, artichoke, and pancetta. Loved my pasta and the creamy sauce that tied all the ingredients together. We will return. read more

Only way to describe my experience is incredible. The ribeye was amazing, very flavorful and tender. It was cooked a perfect medium. The redskin potatoes were fantastic. The desert was great. The cocktails were great. read more

Stopped here for lunch when we were in the area. These were outstanding choices! The bruschetta was crispy and the potato skins had so much flavor. I would definitely come back again! read more

We've been here several times now and its been very good! I wish there was a few more items on the menu. The details in the food presentations and flavors are wonderful though! The service is always spot on. We always try to bring our out of town guests here for dinner. Thanks for always getting us in! read more

I really love this place. I have been there twice but wanted to hold off on a review till after the second time. In any case, this is a must if you live or visiting here. Atmosphere is awesome, food is alive with taste and service was top notch. The Fried Brussel Sprouts are incredible. Go there and just have that and you would leave happy due to the pretty hefty portion. Not an incredibly large menu selection nor beer selection, but I assure you I will try everything on there. read more

I dined at Circa on Thursday, January 7, 2021 at 7 pm. Driving to Circa, I got the feeling that it's located in a somewhat secluded area due to its isolation from other restaurants and businesses. Nevertheless, it's easy to spot with its big sign and filled parking lot. For starters: The tuna tataki is a small light appetizer that tasted quite nice and fresh. The fall harvest gnocchi's portion was very large for an appetizer in my opinion, and would make a good shareable appetizer. The gnocchi was flavorful and nicely caramelized. The consistency of the gnocchi itself was perfect. The wedge salad was a basic salad. The bacon bits were the only exciting thing about that salad. For entrees: The seafood fra diavolo was very good and had good flavors. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly and the ricotta was a nice refreshing element to the dish that cut the richness of the tomato sauce. The ribeye was perfectly cooked to medium rare and was well seasoned. The side of Mac and cheese was everything a Mac and cheese should be - rich, oven-baked, cheesy, and seasoned. I love the Mac and cheese for its bacon and bread crumbs and would recommend it as a side to share. Service was super friendly and very attentive. Food came out pretty quick. Overall, food tasted great with nice presentation and I would return if I'm in the area and craving for that scrumptious bread pudding. read more

Delicious food! Went here a few weeks ago with a large group (10 of us total). Such a cute restaurant, great service and an amazing meal. I think they have switched over to their fall/winter menu so I can't find the exact dish I had but I believe I had the trout which was amazing. We got a number of appetizers to share. I really enjoyed the charcuterie board but everything we got was terrific. We got a few desserts to share as well and they were all wonderful. I got a side of the pan roasted potatoes which were flavorful and cooked perfectly. We will be back soon! read more

I love having Sunday brunch here. Everything we ordered was crafted to delight! From the drinks to the meal. It's not your typical everyday menu. Things are made special. Can't wait to come back read more

FANTASTIC SPOT! Sophia was our server and she was absolutely amazing. Our first time here and we enjoyed every moment. The place is just beautiful and the food was delicious! Clean area, efficient service, and great food. We will definitely comeback soon! read more

Circa has become one of our special occasion dinner locations & a favorite for visiting friends & family! The craft cocktails are well thought out & excellent! The menu changes seasonally, but we've never had anything we didn't love! The atmosphere is very pleasant! It's not formal but it's a nicer place to eat than an average, casual eatery. Our servers have all known the menu well & suggested some awesome specials! read more

Food was delicious! Service was friendly and upbeat! We tried the lamb bolognese and gnocchi and it was out of this world! My daughter had lobster pasta dish that was also divine. The attention to detail with candles and serving dishes made for a memorable experience! read more

Called ahead with no reservation figuring to have elsewhere but Josh said he could work us in at the bar. The bartender was great and very entertaining. The food was excellent as well as the atmosphere This made our anniversary a memorable one. Thanks guys we are already planning a return trip with friends read more

Absolutely the best so far in the area! Awesome service and atmosphere. The food was delicious. Corn bread was dense yet moist. Salmon cooked to perfection. Fried grouper was on special served over rice with warm fruit. Servings were large. The Mac n cheeses side was fabulous, a dinner in itself. Coming back soon! read more

I should have took pictures....hand up. I want to start by saying our waitress was fantastic(Miranda)! Most of the food was amazing. The reason for the review was who I assume was the manager (man bun). He came by the table and asked us how our meal was. We ate with zero complaints, but when he asked we just said "everything was great but our steaks were under. We all ordered medium rare. My steak was rare and my sister in laws was the definition of blue or Pittsburgh rare. He then told us "that's how we do things here. This isn't an Applebees or Chilis". Such a condescending statement to make. Why even ask why I want it cooked??? We came out with my mother in law after her recent divorce because this would have been her 40th anniversary. Just to make a comment like that when you asked for our feedback is unprofessional. We like this place but will think twice before coming back. read more

It was my wife and I first time and therefore new to us. The Restaurant was recommended by our friends and what a great experience we all enjoyed ever moment we were there. Located across from a old train station in Thompson Station TN it knocked my socks off once we opened the door and was struck with the beautiful smells coming from the kitchen. We made reservations on line after enjoying a tasting at Company Distillery right next door. We welcomed by the hostess and seated immediately at a 4 top with a window looking across to the old train depot with a single caboose on the track and a train train station. The server Forrest was super professional and new all about the menu and suggested various food items. Forrest advised us the the menu was in transition and some items were marked off the menu. Forrest walked us through the ingredients and on each dish. I ordered the ribeye and my wife order the fresh catch of the day which was red snapper. We had a side of the lobster Mac and cheese which feed two people. We loved the crisp Brussel sprout with maple mustard, roasted garlic aioli and candied pecans. All the food was absolutely the best we have enjoyed it a long time. The bartender came to our table and inquired about our drinks she made. We stated that they were perfect and especially the The Flannery she made me which I intend on getting again soon. The wine list was super appropriate to the menu. Great place, great time, great service, and next level food. Lucky Sunday for us and I highly recommend this place anytime you in the area or not! Worth every 4 dollar gallon of gas to make this place you regular go to for food. Compliments to the Chef, the server Forrest, Bartender, and the entire staff for a wonderful time! read more

We had high hopes, given recommendations received, so we too out of town guests. Ambiance was excellent, the pork chops were excellent, the salmon was ok, but the crab cake was the worst I have had in years. Little bits of crab in bread. Not even close to a 35.00 crab cake. I picked around in this "lump crabmeat" crabmeat. Very little. Not only that, but the side plate down was over cooked and burnt. Dry. Huge disappointment. If you want pork chops, you'll love it. If you want a crab cake, you will not. Here is a picture of the breading left after I searched for the crab meat. Finally, the little bits of crab I did find was very strong, in other words, not fresh. Expected more. Before I could say anything, wife said "won't go back" read more

Nice ambience. Would like to see a better menu selection. Outdoor seating, great service!

How this place isn't rated 5/5 stars is beyond me. The meal we had was out of this world delicious (coming from 2 foodies). We celebrated our wedding anniversary and ordered the following: Fork at the Station cocktails Scallops with pork belly for an appetizer Cornbread - best I've ever had Ribeye with cowboy butter - best ribeye I've ever had, cooked to perfection Bacon mac and cheese, creamed corn Skillet cookie for dessert We can't wait to come back, we'd visit Thompson's Station again just to come back to Circa! read more

Quaint little place in Thompson's station. The quality is great and the service. The food is delicious, a must try if you are in the area.

The drinks were very good we had the Roddrick's sour and pomegranate vodka Service was wonderful Food was just ok read more

Five stars. Bartender/owner was so welcoming. Food was outstanding and so was the setting.

One of our favorite places. Ambiance, service, and bartenders top notch. Food can be a hit or miss. Went this past weekend. Tried their version of the Manhattan. The Perfectionist. Excellent drink but Fork of the Station still my favorite. They no longer give free bread. That's a huge miss for me. My husband's salmon was excellent as always. My lobster carbonara was not. There was so much sauce on it, I couldn't eat much of it. Not much lobster either. If the food was more consistent, I would give this five stars. . read more

We love searching Yelp for top locations and stumbled upon Circa Grill in Thompson's Station, TN. We very quickly can see why they have such high ratings. It's not a huge establishment, so I recommend putting in reservations. The outside looks like a plain Jane building, but the inside packs the punch! Our server was phenomenal and helped us decide by listing several top items. He recommended the pork chop. It was amazing! Super thick cut over an inch thick. All the sides are a la carte. We shared the red potatoes, Mac n cheese, and broccolini. So much food! The sides are much bigger than expected and all delicious! For dessert, they had the banana bread pudding. Our server mentioned they do several different renditions of bread pudding. Now I have to go back when they are available. I went with their version of an old fashioned, the Fork at the Station and one of the mixed drinks, the Flannery. Flannery was too sweet for my taste, but a solid drink if you enjoy that type. The Fork was good enough that I needed 2. Must check out this location. Every step of the way was above our expectations and I can't wait to go back again! read more
