Circa This!

By attorneydavid

Went with law clerk to Circa! the new restaurant by John Bragg. In the Peabody place compress Circa has a dark contemporary décor with not quite enough light. The menu is very very heavy. The appetizers were almost exclusively shellfish which conflicted with my law clerk who is still pretending to belong to some religious cult.

She did try the French onion soup which she thought was good and lambchops which were also good.

I had oysters with hollandaise and asparagus which was truly excellent and as good as it sounded. They only serve six oysters shells but they doubled up on the oysters in each shell so it was a ton of oyster.

The ice tea was passable but perhaps a little bitter.

I also had a cowboy cut ribeye Oscar style which involves crabmeat and more hollandaise. The meat was perfect, beefy, and I suspect angus.

Overall, the hollandaise was decent but a little too airy and perhaps had sat a bit too long. The prices were extremely high with the ribeye being served ala carte even with a $35 price tag and most entrées in the high twenties.

I feel the place shutting down lunch sends a snobbish flair.
