The Scene – A cascading water wall at the entrance, bamboo walls, sexy lighting and earth tones throughout set the stylish tone at this loft-like locale. A chic lounge offers cushy cube seating; a metallic mesh curtain separates the adjacent candle-lit dining room. An upstairs dining area offers floor-to-ceiling, chocolate-hued leather booths for maximum privacy and comfort. – – The Food – East-meets-West fusion is creative but accessible. Hospitable servers deliver starters like guava-glazed baby back ribs that toe the line between sweet and spicy. A grilled Kobe beef…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Late dinners can lead to dancing on Fridays and Saturdays in the lounge. Often, the main dining area is cleared at 11pm to make room for a DJ and more dancing.
- What to Drink:
- Start the night off with a signature cocktail, like the sinful White Chocolate Martini, a mix of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, Chambord and Frangelico. Or choose from the fusion-friendly wine menu and bottled beer list.
- Know Before You Go:
- At Circolo Restaurant and Lounge, reservations are encouraged and accepted up to one month in advance. For parties of five or more, a credit card is required to secure the reservation.

Duet of tartar is out of this world!!
Contributor at Citysearch
I have had Tatar at almost every restaurant I go to. I have had some good ones and well some blah. But the tartar here rocks! I never had white tuna. It is really really good! And those chips were a nice change of pace..

Great for large parties
by Anhvy33 at Citysearch
Went here for my gf's bday party, we were seated promptly atho most of my gfs were late. We did the prix fix menu, it was nice and personalized, they even did it in pink which was the bday girl's favorite color. I ordered the chilean sea bass which was very tasty and the foie gras was pretty damn good too!!! overall service was good, food was good. What was especially cool was we were able to stay back and hang out at the lounge after dinner for more drinks.. the strawberry martinis were absolutely the best. Definitely a great place and hangout with your gfs on the weekends.. This place is a ok in my book!
- Pros: good food

An excellent place to eat!
by irishiyes at Citysearch
I have been to this restaurant once so far and would go there again. We were there on a Sunday evening when it was slow and the service was both pleasant and attentive. I was amazed how they pulled off the S. American / Asian fusion - I mean but EVERTHING we ordered was fantastic! The prices were fair for such high quality dishes, and both service and ambiance were very nice. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone (Try the wok fried garlic noodles).
- Pros: Food, service, selection, ambiance
- Cons: it was a bit drafty downstairs

Awesome dining experience
by PLssy at Citysearch
I love this place! We go here at least once a month and still can't get enough. The last time I was here, we were with a party of 20 so the event planner suggested a pre-fix meal which turned out great becuause it was one set price and we all got the 3-course meal. I had the hamachi as the starter, entree was the lamb chops and it was done just perfect, for dessert I had the banana cake.
I would recommend going here in a smaller group also just so you can choose from the full menu.
The dining experience is also great, friendly staff always with a smile!
