Fodor's Review:
If you're celebrating, come to this formal, conducive-to-conversation dining room in a carriage house behind the Wentworth Mansion. There is a formality here, and the waitstaff has both skill and decorum. Chef Marc Collins has created dishes that are real originals; don't resist the Vidalia onion cream soup or the foie gras with crushed almonds. Crabmeat is the central ingredient in his signature soufflé. The coffee-rubbed strip loin with corn pudding, asparagus, and truffles is remarkable. After all that beef, you may experience a chemical need for dessert -- try the chocolate tasting with wonders like chocolate-chunk-brownie gelato.

We were not let down at all at Circa 1886. The food and service as well as atmosphere were outstanding. Trust your waiter's suggestions. We were not disappointed.
