We had an amazing experience at Circe! The vibe from the moment we walked in was so welcoming and fun! The decor is classy and beautiful. The bar area and tables - both downstairs and up - is chic and well appointed. Loved the music. There was a DJ playing after 10pm which made the vibe even more fun. Would absolutely come back! Valet also a great experience. For a narrow street, it was easy to access both upon arriving and leaving. Love the holiday decor!

Great food, great setting, live entertainment and comedy show below. It's got everything I need for a night out. I highly recommend The George!

First time dining here in over a year. Felt like visiting an old friend ! We were delighted to see the owner, Jose who greeted us warmly at the door and seated us at our favorite window table. It's a great location to watch people passing by on Washington Street. We talked with Jose for a bit and he commented that he is always learning new recipes and continuously evolves the menu to offer his guests the very best quality experience. We wholeheartedly agree! This experience was exceptional! We started with perfectly blended Margaritas using fresh juices and an order of chips and beans with spicy, green and red salsas. Jose generously offered us a bowl of delectable grilled sweet corn with spices, topped with cheese and drizzled with crema and crisp slices of radish. We scooped up some of the corn with our tortilla chips and saved the rest to top our entrees. My husband chose a crispy Carnitas filled Chimichanga for his entree and I had my usual Mole Enchiladas stuffed with tender chicken, topped with a rich, dark, spicy Mole sauce and a side of fluffy seasoned rice. We sampled each others entrees and both were perfection! Beautiful comforting atmosphere, great mix of lively music and outstanding service by Jose himself assisted by his excellent floor staff, a great bartender and kitchen crew that really has it goin' on! We need to visit more often! If you you are new to this restaurant or have not visited in a while, do yourself a favor and visit.

Greats service. We had car trouble just before our reservation and called to advise. The staff was very understanding and helpful on the call and when we finally arrived. Much appreciated on an already stressful night!

Excellent evening tonight celebrating The Splendor of Florence at Osteria Toscana hosted by Armando Bisceglia and two visiting chefs from Italy. The pop up venue was warm and inviting and proved to be a perfect backdrop for the delectable food that is being offered during this special event. We began with pasta and bean soup that was a throwback to having a warm, comforting bowl of soup as a child in an Italian household. Then I selected the fettuccine bolognese-which is the Best I have ever had. I simply did not want to finish the dish because side I was enjoying each forkful so much. Richard had the gnocchi-each one was a pillow of tenderness nestled in a truffle cream sauce that melted in your mouth. Our entrees of eggplant parmigiana and osso bucco were hearty and delicious and proved to be two perfect rustic Tuscan selections. At the end of this epic meal we had cookies with a dessert wine. Everything tied together seamlessly and we truly had The Splendor of Florence experience💖. Let’s not forget the Wine Window-such an authentic touch! We loved getting our wine and toasting to this fantastic evening.
