Circ - Madison

All of our meals were fantastic!! Our server was fantastic. The only drawback is the restaurant feels like it is in the middle of the lobby. Even still I would recommend CIRC.

We went to brunch. The food was just okay, nothing special if I had to give my credit card for $25 per person if we didn't make it to our reservation and it's at the Concourse Hotel. Service was friendly and helpful, no complaints there. You can definitely say that this place is in a hotel. Because it's out of the lobby, it doesn't help at all. Not quite the atmosphere I hoped or expected. But again it was okay.

The restaurant was not busy, but the waitress seemed very flightable and could not remember simple requests.

Our brunch was delicious and our server was terrific! The manager even came around to chat with us which is a bonus these days in hospitality! Will definitely be back!

We went for brunch and it was nothing special. This is a typical hotel restaurant that had options for buffet and to order off a menu. After looking at the buffet, which was standard moderate hotel fare (breads, scrambled eggs, meat, non-berry fruit, beverages), we decided to order off the menu. The omelettes were fluffy and flavorful but nothing to rave about. The Mexican Benedict was tasty but not original and the bacon was average and a bit like they pulled it off the the buffet table. The prices were pretty good and that was surprising for a hotel. It's located off the hotel lobby and just outside a Starbucks. There is plenty of noise from people coming and going to Starbucks and the lobby. Being local we had an impression going in to a slightly nicer, quieter brunch, but it was really run of the mill hotel food and atmosphere. There were dirty windows, dirty floors, sticky chairs, people in business attire, people in cut-offs and tank-tops, screaming kids, and quiet elderly. Our service was great! I think it was partially due to ordering off the menu versus the buffet. I suppose any restaurant has a right to use a reservation service. For brunch, I don't know why Circ uses it as it's not really worthy of a reservation except maybe for hotel guests.
