This has been the best restaurant we've visited in the Hunter Valley. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented, complemented by a highly knowledgeable staff. The entire experience was fantastic, and Koey and Andrea were both exceptional! We highly recommend Circa over Britannia, as we wouldn't categorize the latter as fine dining.

We just celebrated our daughter's wedding on the 23/9 and from the time we arrived until the evening ended I was totally impressed with not just the amazing venue but the most wonderful caring and accommodating staff where nothing was an effort. All the staff were incredible and everything was was done promptly, professionally and always with a warm and friendly smile, not to mention the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend that it is a place to visit on your next visit to the Hunter Valley or if planning a future wedding. Many Thanks to all the staff at Circa who looked after us.

A beautiful setting with magnificent food. We had the 5 course chef's menu paired with matching wines at $180 pp. Everything was truly exceptional and memorable, including the amuse bouches, but if the degustation is outside your budget, the Cherry Glazed Duck Breast was the pick of the menu. So impressed by the pairings that we went back the following day to the Peppertree cellar door and bought two of the wines from the dinner.
