Attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating service, if not a little "efficient" and rushed Busy environment so not a romantic night out Food - innovative, delicious but only just adequate servings, especially for males Car parking difficult but it is St Kilda after all. Would recommend and return again!

Well there is little more I can add the hosts and staff were accommodating polite and the environ pleasant. But, regrettably I find that a smear of the or a splat of that does not constitute a meal and I had to think if one could consider it technically food. It does remind me of a dogs dinner made up...

I went there with then boyfriend after reading a raving review. Finding car park was challenging. We had starter and main, no alcohol drinks. My main was two pieces of tiny bits of meat that was exactly two mouthfuls with two pieces of long sticks to decorate the plate. His meal was very small too. Even though the staff were... More

Innovative food, superb service all staff made us feel welcome. They treated our 1973 Richebourg perfectly, both the kitchen and our sommelier were able to match food and wine to ensure we had a great evening.

Dined here Sunday night. What a wonderful experience and worth the taxi ride from Melbourne. Food was intricate and tasty with a wonderful fusion of exotic flavours and tastes merged with some Australian favourites. A wide menu to choose from and recommend the sharing option. Loved the choice of serving sizes but don't be fooled as choices are very tempting... More

OMG! What a fantastic place to visit. Sensory overload! Great wines by the glass, the Som had vintage champagne by the glass the night I was there, I indulged myself! The food was tremendous, with both of us over ordering because we couldn't stop eating. I loved the octopus skewer, the cod main course and cheeses for dessert. A few... More

I have to admit, I've spent a lot of money at Circa, and I've never walked away without feeling unsatisfied or upset. The menu changes regularly, recently it's gone a bit more tapas servings- not what I really expected from them, but the food the food the food...heaven.
