  The day party was lit. Good drinks. Good vibes. I didn't get a chance to order food but I had a good time. Whenever I come back to ATL, I'll make sure to stop by.

  I have NEVER had such HORRIBLE service in my life! Arrived to this restaurant for Sunday Brunch, (Apparently this is their 2nd week doing brunch according to the server) we ordered within 5 minutes of being there at 1:27 pm. I know this because I responded to a happy birthday text from my sister. Oh yeah this all happened ON MY BIRTHDAY! We noticed a graduation party upstairs and thought nothing of it seeing as though we were the only other two patrons in the restaurant besides the party upstairs. 30 minutes goes by and we decide to order a drink, I choose orange juice my fiancé he had a sprite. As we waited we sat through the “DJ” testing the microphone and shuffling through different songs, none of which were appropriate for Sunday brunch. I do Sunday brunch often so I’m expecting light R&B maybe jazz or instrumentals but no not at Cafe Circa. Hardcore rap is what we got! Loud at that, we could barely have a decent conversation with one another and we sat very close in proximity to one another. 45 minutes in our server came over to the table to let us know the party upstairs was running behind and that our food was being prepared. Annoyed and frustrated we decided we waited this long the food had to be on the way, so we were prepared to wait just a while longer. My fiancé tried so hard to make sure my birthday brunch was special and tried to reassure me that the wait was definitely due to the party upstairs. I understood that, but as I looked around we were still the only two waiting for a very simple brunch that we ordered. As the doors to the kitchen opened and I saw the tray of food heading out I did what any other person would do, I prepared the table for the plates. Excited and beyond ready to eat I watched as the server walked past our table and head upstairs to the graduation party that was running behind. Needless to say disappointment consumed me and my growling abdomen. I watched that scene about 5 or 6 more times. Tray after tray server after server up and down the stairs and all the while the other servers stopped to have a cocktail or a hit of the hookah and they had customers that weren’t satisfied sitting waiting and waiting and waiting for Sunday brunch that seemed to be lost in space. Finally after giving this restaurant the benefit of the doubt we decided that we could no longer stay. We agreed to pay for the sprite and OJ we just wanted to go somewhere to get a meal. And let’s not forget TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! I don’t want to spend the whole morning/afternoon in this restaurant and hungry! As we walk to pay for our drinks our server came out with the food after an hours wait and no real substance to the long wait time we agree to just eat and go about our day. As I walked to the table and prepare to eat my food I noticed the poached eggs that I asked to be over medium is under cooked even for poached egg status. And the size of crab cake doesn’t even cover the muffin it’s on. I was also expecting a side of grits and fruit, the server goes to get the fruit and the container the fruit came in is one size up from a thimble. We decided to pay for our drinks and leave, I for one thought we shouldn’t have paid for the drinks due to our long wait time and the fact that we barely took sips out the cups also. All of our glasses were full of drink still. My fiancé gave his card to the server and he reviewed the bill. For 2 drinks we were charged $26.16 including $9.00 for gratuity. 9 DOLLARS FOR GRATUITY PEOPLE!!! 9 DOLLARS TO WAIT AND WATCH! I saw other people’s food go by, I waited for my food for over an hour and I left your restaurant HUNGRY! How is that conducive for GRATUITY! Our total was $26.16 for beverages! On top of that they swiped his card several times and charged him 3 times the same amount and stated the other transactions will be put back into his account in about 3 days. I have never I repeat never had such a terrible experience at a restaurant in all my 32 years of living! Our server was pretty nice she continued to apologize for what happened and I don’t blame her but this experience sucked!

  I wish I could've take a picture of the food before I devoured it. During my entire trip I ate wings almost every day. This place had the best wings. The waitress was very nice and the drinks were just right. It's a nice safe atmosphere with amazing food.

  Place could use some updating. The service was great though-all staff was nice and attentive. Hostess even sat us in reserved seating. The place was scarce. Upstairs lounge area was nice and lively and had a dj. Great place to go with a buddy.

  Didn't eat there, went on a Friday night. The vibe is decent, but not worth the $20 they have the nerve to charge men to get in. It's not a club, so what gives? Many men were driven away by the cover so I was a bunch of women there. Thank God i have a boyfriend. Ladies, if you're looking for a nice girls night, this is a cool place. Single and trying to mingle, not the place for you.
