Here on a business trip with more than 6 people. The host said parties of 6 or more has to be one check. Being inside a hotel close to a huge corporation that brings in thousands of people daily, you would think they can split checks. We had to walk away because they wouldn’t split.

Took my daughter who is a swimmer. A wonderful selection including various proteins. The salad bar was fresh and beautifully presented. My daughter really appreciated the lentil soup, edamame and red beans for the salad, lemon orzo salad and bean salads. It was a swimmers happy place.

You know what the best part about eating out is? It's the experience, mostly colored by the staff you come in contact with. My favorite part about the salad bar at Circ is that it comes with a smile; the older gentleman (a member of the kitchen staff) who keeps the area clean and replenishes the items actually says hello, smiles, and thanks you for coming; I've never seen anything like it at a salad bar before. He makes everything tastes better. Often times there's no one at the host desk to seat you, but we've sat down before, and were soon spotted and welcomed. Today, alas, the cranky young waitress took exception to us not waiting [even] longer, and made it a point to yell "next time wait to be seated" loudly enough for someone on the 3rd floor to hear. She didn't like it when I replied that next time someone should be available to seat us: "Oh, Okay," she scoffed, and walked away. It's not even what she said, honestly (it wasn't that terrible), but the condescending, contemptuous tone, as if she were chastising unruly children, ruined the experience. I have food at home, and it doesn't come with an attitude. Clearly whoever hires and trains the staff needs to pay a little more attention to detail, and so should their boss, right up to the General Manager. One kind, always smiling gentleman built the Circ brand brick by brick, and one thoroughly unpleasant waitress razed it to the ground in one fell swoop. It's a crying shame. We'll gladly take our money elsewhere, and I'll use this example in my seminars on customer service because it's a textbook case of how not to handle customers (even those who commit the crime of not waiting long enough to be seated.)

During a recent stay at the Madison Concourse, we indulged in a delightful cocktail experience at Circ, conveniently situated just off the lobby. Embracing the local spirit, we couldn't resist the allure of the Wisconsin Old Fashioned. This classic drink was expertly crafted of Korbel brandy, a mix of cherry bark and vanilla bitters, orange, cherry, and soda, leaving a lasting impression I'm eager to recreate at home. Remarkably priced at only $10, it satisfied our curiosity in trying local flavors and offered great value for money. Cheers to Circ for a memorable libation experience!

Circ did a wonderful job handling our group of 19 for brunch! Being seated in a separate room was perfect. Kudos to our server, Cae, who took care of us all on her own. The food was great as well - only shortly staggered coming out which is completely understandable. One person who is a hollandaise fanatic said her eggs benedict had the best hollandaise she's ever tasted! I would highly recommend Circ!

I took my boss for breakfast after seeing the menu. We were sat at our table THEN told they are only having a buffet breakfast that would be $15.00 not the menu items i had reviewed prior to booking. We got coffee, chatted, and walked up to the buffet only to find oatmeal, eggs, bacon, and fruit!! I was mortified! Literally NOTHING to eat. I would have had better luck at a Holiday Inn. Never go here!!

The hostess of this restaurant on February 15th made the four of us feel completely inadequate for being there. When we walked up to her, she looked us up and down a few times and said in a snippy voice: “Can I.......help you guys?” Looking at the 25 empty tables it looked very likely that we would be seated immediately. I politely asked if there was room for the 4 of us to eat. The hostess said that the tables were all booked and the earliest we could be seated was at 8:30 (3 hours later). I mentioned all of the vacant tables and she said that she was expecting everyone to come in at once. At that point, we knew she felt we did not belong and went to spend our fortunes elsewhere.

The price of the food was not worth the quality. Steaks came out not prepared correctly and the cuts were not good. It also is a difficult atmosphere as the tables are close together and share a bench seat on one side not allowing for much privacy during conversations.

This is my first time trying Circ on a weekday. I was really impressed by the salad bar, which has much more than salad. The beef barely soup was amazing!! It was fresh made and had huge chunks of beef.

Circ, which is part of the Concourse Hotel, is a relatively mid to upscale restaurant. The service is excellent, as is the food generally.

Try the Sunday brunch, you won't be disappointed.

Could not get in to eat there even though there was empty seats. They were reserved they said and we should if made a reservation.

We had a hour drive, had our luggage and car valet. Stood in line for a while and they said they could find us in the reservations after a 10 more min.

Skip this place. There are a dozen phenomenal restaurants within five blocks that will deliver a better experience for less money.

We ordered 2 appetizers plus entrees, spent over $100, and we left hungry.

They had a wedding party in the next room, but the dining room was less than half full. It took an hour to get our appetizers, and another 30 minutes to get our entrees.

The signature cocktail I ordered must have been the signature of a five year old.

Don't be fooled by the facade, this is a mediocre hotel restaurant. There are much better options available close by.

We reserved a table at this place because we wanted to near the Overture Center to attend a concert and all other places were full. That should have been our first clue.

The place was nearly empty when we arrived at 5:30 and it pretty much stayed that way through the dinner hour.

Service was slow; it took nearly 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive after ordering them. My Manhattan was adequate but my wife's chardonnay was rough and clearly a very low end wine.

We both ordered the pork chop meal. The meat was tough and tasteless. We were given only table knives to cut the meat. We hacked away at our meal with only marginal success.

I'm not sure why a restaurant in this part of town and with fairly high prices would be so bad but it is. The low number of diners tells the story.
