Coastal Virginia Culinary Awards Winner 2024
From the Nov.-Dec. 2024 issue of Coastal Virginia Magazine:
For an elevated yet approachable dining experience, Circa 1918 strikes a perfect balance between neighborhood charm and refined elegance. Nestled in historic Hilton Village, this gem feels worlds away—like it exists in another city and era entirely. Though Hilton residents might slip in for a casually luxurious midweek dinner, Circa is perfect for celebrating a special occasion in style. The menu, rich with global influences, offers dishes that are as visually stunning as they are carefully composed—perfect for when a little splurge feels justified.
Glowy, gold pendant lighting, copper ductwork and handsome walnut furniture create a warm inviting space with a mid-century modern vibe; and plush red banquettes add a touch of grown-up glamour. Even the small, thoughtfully arranged outdoor seating area feels like an enchanting oasis. Sleek and sexy yet cozy and intimate, Circa manages to feel both like a hidden local haunt and a top-tier destination for an extraordinary meal.
