We had such a wonderful experience here from start to finish! When we first sat down, there were a few drops of water on my seat, so I wiped it with my hand and sat down. I quickly realized it must have been oil because my hands were greasy. I let the hostess know that I thought I had accidentally sat in oil, and we immediately switched seats. The manager came over and offered to have my clothes dry cleaned. I told him it wasn’t necessary, but he insisted on buying us a round of drinks instead and they were so good! I was genuinely impressed by how much the hostess and manager cared about making sure we were taken care of. We started with the lobster corn dogs, and I don’t even really eat seafood, but they were absolutely delicious! For dinner, we had the chicken parm and the basil pesto ravioli in brown butter, and both were excellent. Then, after dinner, the manager came back to our table and surprised us with the Ferris wheel of desserts on the house! He truly went above and beyond, and that kind of hospitality really stood out to us. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, and overall we had such a wonderful time. You can really tell they care about their guests, and that makes such a difference. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely the best place for a casual and delicious dinner. The shrimp and grits with tasso ham is outstanding! The wine and beer selection is well thought out.

we enjoyed this experience very much! We did not know it was ladies night and enjoyed 1/2 price wine. The small plates were delicious and beautifully presented. Our waitress was very warm and friendly and knew the menu well. Excellent !

Our anniversary dinner at Circe in East Greenwich on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 was wonderful. The food and drinks were delicious and our server Michelle was outstanding. My husband had a non-alcoholic “Sangria” which was so yummy! We will definitely return again soon.
