Incredible dinner experience here at Circa 1922. We haven't been back in Wilmington for quite some time but the service, food, Atmosphere were everything we remembered. We sat upstairs of this old Bank and could still here the pianist playing downstairs. Put this place on your list if you haven't already.

Headline: Great vibe, warm, professional service, and fabulous food- an absolute homerun! Dining at Circa 1992 was a real treat. Centrally located in the downtown area, the space is warm, welcoming, and visually appealing. Our server, Noelle, could not have been more welcoming and professional and her recommendations were spot on. She made the experience that much better. Bread was served with a high quality olive oil, a very good sign. I ordered the Honey I'm Home cocktail which was delightful (so I ordered a second one). The brussels spouts appetizer was delicious (I was a bit nervous about how the peanuts in the dish would come of and the answer is perfectly). My salad, the mixed lettuces with goat cheese, pomegranates, and some other stuff was dressed with a light vinaigrette was terrific. I ordered the salmon, cooked medium, skin on and couldn't have been happier. The side, a root vegetable medley casserole was out of this world. For dessert, I sampled both the honey lavender pot de creme (wow) and the bread pudding, which was looser than most, but also the best I've ever had, was served with vanilla gelato. As I write this review, I'm thinking about when I'll dine there again, and the answer is soon.

We had an excellent time at Circa. We have lived in the Greater Wilmington area for 3 years now and this is our first visit. We will definitely be back. All of the food was extremely well done. They were accommodating for our children and were very quick with our orders for how busy they were. The place itself has a fantastic aesthetic. The piano player arrived about halfway through the meal and added an amazing feel to the atmosphere.

This is one of my favorite restaurants, so I decided to celebrate my birthday here. My husband and I selected from the Prix Fixe menu. We both ordered the Caesar salad. I ordered the pork Milanese and he ordered the Bolognese. The salads were huge! We could have easily shared one. It was delicious. My pork Milanese was outstanding! It was a large cut, nicely breaded (not thick in breadcrumbs), topped with arugula, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and a remoulade. It was one of the best Milanese I've ever had. The Bolognese is always a hit and favorite too. For dessert, we had the mini crème Brule and mini peanut butter mousse. Codi provided very nice service. Cocktails are pricey. We were waiting at the bar for our table, as we got there a little early. The bartender said they ranged $16 to $18 (prices not posted on the menu). That's a little high, so I waited to order a glass of sparkling wine at dinner. The place was pretty full. I love the atmosphere of the place.

Wonderful service from the time we arrived. Our server explained the menu well including rotating options. He brought an extra bread appetizer for our 6 year old son who clearly loved the bread. We ordered the eggrolls and tuna tataki appetizers, scallops and filet mignon entrees, and a key lime cocktail. All food was excellent! Also, really enjoyed the pianist. Will be back 😊

Went here for date night with hubby. Everything we had was delicious. We had their grilled octopus, tuna poking, paella and split a carrot cake at the end. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience for dinner here and great service from our server Gage. I highly recommend the Mushroom Bruschetta. Delicious cheesy bruschetta topped with roasted mushrooms. Great appetizer. I got the Halibut for dinner and enjoyed it tremendously. The halibut was perfectly cooked and the sauce for the dish is simply delicious.

Soooo. I am quick to give a review when I have a good experience. Tonight was my 2nd time visiting Circa 1922. I've been to 4 High End restaurants this week. This was my best meal by far. I ordered the Paella without chorizo because I don't eat pork. The manager, Jenna came to me directly and said we can do that! She was working hard tonight because..as Wilmington just had a historical snowstorm... Some people couldn't make it into work but I digress... This was one of the best paella dishes I ever had. Rice was cooked to perfection, the seafood was fresh and to her testament everything was extra spicy as I like it. I can't leave out Matt the bartender because he was serving great drinks and recommended the best red Blend wine, Involuntary Commitment to go with dinner. Such a great experience. Service was wonderful. I always need to include that we were the only African Americans in the restaurant at this moment and we were served with the best professionalism and service.

Great ambiance, great service, and a wonderfully knowledgeable waiter who walked us through the menu with confidence and enthusiasm. We started with some awesome local oysters, the tuna tataki, the burrata, and the crispy Brussels sprouts (the other appetizer!) — all of which were fantastic. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. For entrées, the paella was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had — rich, thick sauce, tons of finely chopped chorizo, and scallops cooked to absolute perfection. The filet was also cooked perfectly: extremely tender, melt-in-your-mouth, and packed with flavor. Dessert was top-notch as well. Highly recommend the cheesecake and the bread pudding — both were outstanding and the perfect finish to the meal. If you’re visiting the area and looking for fine dining, you have to go here. Highly, highly recommend Circa 1922.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Circa 1922! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The hostess was warm and attentive, and we were seated right on time for our reservation. The ambiance was inviting and perfect for a night out. Our waitress, Alison, was impeccable. She was kind, funny, incredibly attentive to detail, and genuinely personable. She truly elevated our entire experience. The drinks were delicious and expertly crafted. For appetizers, we ordered the crab dip (which was amazing!) and the calamari, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. For our entrées, I had the filet, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. My husband ordered the duck, it was very good, just a bit fattier than he prefers, which was more about the cut than the preparation. Our friends ordered the flounder and a seafood platter (I can’t remember the exact name), and she said it was the best flounder she’s had in a very long time! We chose Circa 1922 on a whim and are so glad we did. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!
