| - My boyfriend and I finally made it in to Circ for the winter restaurant week 2017. Our server's name was Calvin, and he was absolutely spectacular. He had extensive menu knowledge and checked up on us at the perfect times. My boyfriend ordered the O'so night train, while I had a Sean Minor sauv blanc. We were offered a bread basket with a great grain wheat bread, and delicious rye crackers that I couldn't get enough of! Then our appetizers came out. He ordered the fried chicken livers with a white barbecue sauce- his first time having chicken livers. They were perfectly crispy and crunchy on the outside, while soft and delicate on the inside, and the BBQ sauce complemented them. I ordered the pear and apple salad, with hazelnuts, bleu cheese and bitter red cabbage. While the salad was good in parts, it was essential to get every flavor together in one bite to get the true beauty of the dish. He and I both agreed that while the salad was delicious, there's just no way to beat the chicken livers.
Then came out entrees: I ordered roasted pheasant with mushrooms, smoked pearl onions, and herbed pappardelle pasta. It was delicious, warm, savory, and the smoked pearl onions were so weird but amazing, the dish in whole was, in a word, delectable. My boyfriend ordered the osso buco pot pie. I am a baker, and my boyfriend insisted that I try the crust. It was a perfect, ultra buttery puff pastry round. You could feel every delicate layer, and it was like you were transported somewhere else... it was magical. The osso buco was perfectly tender, warm, seasoned just right, and paired with the buttery puff excellently. Again, while both dishes were delicious, nothing could beat the puff.
Finally desserts came out. He ordered the tiramisu cheesecake, while I ordered the hot sticky toffee pudding with a caramel bourbon sauce. Both desserts paired beautifully with his beer. The tiramisu had the perfect amount of coffee, a crispy yet sturdy crust, and elegantly dense cheesecake in the center, topped with a piece of chocolate disguised as a coffee bean!! My hot sticky toffee pudding was warm, dense, gooey, and warmed the soul. Perfect blend of spices with a little ginger to give a tiny kick keeping it from going overboard. Whether he believes it or not, I won the dessert round.
All in all, with beyond excellent service, and food that left us eating all of it and then feeling overbearingly full after (no regrets), we will definitely be back to dine at Circ, and have already been gushing to those around us about our experience.
Shout out to Calvin- you're the best!!!
