Circa 81

What a great place!! The tapas menu is varied and the food is superb! This was my second time and it is awesome! I’m used to places like this in bigger cities. I didn’t expect it in MHC. Circa 81 is a quaint and charming restaurant. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The service was excellent. The food was top …

Call ahead during season or if you want an outside table. There are only a few tables on the front porch but are dog friendly. Cozy bar inside. The wait staff is super friendly and professional. We had the Brussel sprouts, mussels and pork belly and they were all on point! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Circa 81! Robbin and I love it and had the pleasure of introducing two new people for an outstanding dinner. Food, service and atmosphere all exceeded expectations! Visiting again with consistent excellence!

Tried Circa 81 for the first time tonight and we loved it. The staff were all welcoming and attentive, the food was fantastic (the brussels, omg) and the drinks were delicious. We have a new “must-visit” next time we’re in town.

Stopped here for lunch and I can't wait to come back for dinner service. The food and service were both excellent. I like how they have a nice lunch menu and the prices great considering the quality. On my visit I had the daily special which was a crab cake BLT. Both the sandwich and the side of potato salad …

I rarely write reviews, but this restaurant was top notch. The staff, atmosphere, and food were superb. My husband ordered the fried shrimp plate and raved about the coating on the shrimp and the homemade cocktail sauce. I ordered the Parmesan encrusted mahi mahi and found it to be cooked to perfection with powerful flavors throughout. Thank you so much …

I had the crabcake and it was delicious. I do wish that it could have been two instead of one but it was really good. The sauce it came with definitely compliments it well. My co worker enjoyed the pork belly. The environment was very nice and quiet.

This is a must stop! Everything I’ve ever ordered from here was so delicious. The menu has a really great range of different options so you’ll always be able to find something for everyone to enjoy. The cocktails are also have a great ratio of liquor to whatever additives included. You will be spending some money here though! (Worth it)

We were so grateful to Circa 81 for hosting my Mom’s Celebration of Life. From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The venue itself is beautiful, warm, and welcoming. The perfect place to gather with family and friends to honor someone so special to us. Communication leading up to the event was excellent as well. The staff were responsive, …

Circa 81 quickly became one of my most memorable meals along North Carolina’s Crystal Coast: a restaurant that understands both timing and tone. We arrived with a reservation (always a wise move), though we were seated immediately, greeted by a gracious host who set our lunch off on the right note. Once settled, we were welcomed by Philip, whose ease …
