"We had an incredible meal at Circa 1886. This was our first time visiting Charleston and we wanted to find elevated food. Tasting menus are one of our favorite ways to experience many refined plates all at once. Circa 1886 has not one, but two tasting menus you can choose from. We got one of each and split all of the dishes. Don 't be thrown off by the small portion sizes because we both left incredibly full. All together it was over 10 plates! The flavors of each dish are complex, balanced, and well thought out. The tasting menu is a flavorful journey, and each bite a carefully crafted experience in your mouth. The menu is seasonally rotating, so there will always be something new to try. Our server was the bartender, Denis, who takes his job seriously. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. One of my favorite things to see at a restaurant is when the entire team is helping to create a great experience for customers. It is not just one server, but a team of people, like a well oiled machine, and all of them are knowledgeable about the menu and the food they 're serving. This restaurant serves with pride. If you are looking to experience high level food done with passion, look no further."

Beautiful restaurant clean and peaceful vibe. Excellent service Bryan is an all star. The 5 course dinners were delicious. The banana old fashioned is fantastic. I was very pleased with this fine dining restaurant. Well done Circa 1886

Food was good. The service was like a well orchestrated dance. people moved in and out from your table placing and removing things as needed. You never waited for anything. It was very expensive considering the food you received. It was a good experience, but I'm not sure that I would return.

Me and my beau tried out this lovely establishment during July. The ambiance was on point but I was quite disappointed with the very limited menu. Typically I would rate a restaurant with such a sparse menu lower, yet the fish I didn't want but tried anyway, was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was stellar. The bartender was top notch too! I would just advise: not the best place for picky eaters who aren't too adventurous. View menu

This is a wonderful little spot in Charleston. The ambiance is sophisticated yet intimate. The food and it's presentation are top notch. The chef has a creative mind and the dishes are a revelation! I'd highly recommend selecting one of the multiple course offerings (Ashley or Cooper). Each provides a different taste and texture experience. The portions are the perfect size and timing between courses is perfect. If you stay at the Wentworth, complimentary breakfast is included at Circa and it is phenomenal! I'll definitely return when in Charleston again!

Update July 2024 Had dinner here a second time celebrating our 51 st wedding anniversary. Once again truly a 5 star dining experience. We both had the tasting menu coupled with wine pairings. Each course expertly prepared and presented. Impeccable service all around. Shout out to Elle and a fabulous sommelier John who made the evening special . This will be our go to celebratory restaurant. First Review January 2024 Charleston has many high end dining options. Circa 1886 does not take 2 nd place to any of them. My wife and I originally from NY now living in Charleston enjoy high end dining. We decided to dine at Circa 1886 to celebrate her birthday. If you enjoy dining in a 200 year old buil...
