I felt like family right when I walked in! The patio seating is very welcoming and definitely feels like home. It over looks the river and gives a peaceful vibe. The owner, who also does the cooking, came to greet and check on us. Top notch! Then the food!!! Oh my! So incredible! The Italian Beef had a homemade au jus and the beef was very tender! Everything was delicious down to the blackberry mousse! Service was warm and engaging as well and the price point can’t be matched! I’m so happy we found this gem on our travels!

The service was very good, they refilled drinks without having to be asked and they were helpful. We sat on the patio, which was lovely. We enjoyed looking out at the river and watching the river and the occasional train go by. The German potato salad was great, but if you love French dip, it’s a good one, but not an amazing one. The only reason I did not give five stars was the time it took to get the food from the kitchen. For two sandwiches, it took more than 30 minutes.

First visit to Savanna. The service, food and prices were all great! I’d definitely recommend without hesitation. The only negative side is I live a few hours away so I can’t frequent it more often! I had the philly cheese steak with provolone and a side salad. I’m not exactly sure what brand of ranch dressing was used but it was EXTREMELY good! My hoagie was great! My friends both ordered cheeseburgers, medium with everything on it and fries. The burgers were cooked exactly as ordered. If I’m ever in the area in the future I’ll DEFINITELY be stopping in for a great meal!

Fantastic restaurant – completed our trip to Mississippi Palisades State Park for Mother’s Day. Their menu is mouthwatering, service is excellent, and the flowers on the table – I felt like I was their mom and they got me only the best flowers in the world!! My kids loved their food. I unfortunately was fasting that day, but I will say the iced tea was impeccable 😉 Really want to go back, it’s almost worth the 2.25 hour drive for me just to go here! Nicely done Ca. 1888!

I can’t really say the food was bad because, it had very little taste, it was bland. The service was extremely slow, it took a long time for us to order and a long time for us to get our food. The restaurant was uncomfortably chilly. The prices aren’t bad and the building has alot of character and is charming. This could be a very good place to eat with some work!

The food deserves five stars, but the service doesn’t. Our server didn’t know how to make a mai tai. He was unprofessional and didn’t know what to do with himself when he wasn’t serving.

A place you wouldn’t really expect in a small town like Savanna, IL. We were extremely surprised about the amazing variety of different options Jocelyn offers in her little, cozy, Chicago-style restaurant. Definitely not the standard bar food. A great range of offbeat dishes with good vegetarian options too. The outside area is stunning with an amazing view over the Mississippi river and a perfect spot for a sundowner.

Such a cute back deck & some of the best spinach quiche I’ve had! Salad was fresh with yummy homemade ranch. Lemonade is good too & they serve French press coffee for $2!

I visited during their Grand Opening and the food was excellent! There’s something for everyone with a unique menu that sets it apart from the typical restaurant.
Plus the ambiance is great, and when the weather’s nice, they have an outdoor deck where you can eat and also view the mighty Mississippi River!
I’ll return again!

I’m behind on writing reviews about additional great offerings at Circa. Since the beginning of the year I’ve enjoyed the Shrimp Poutine, Pork Belly Street Tacos, the 1/2 Lb Grassfed Beef Burger, the Vegetarian Southwest Black Bean Burger, the
Grilled Cheese, and Meatball Sandwich. Plus the ‘one night only’ specials such as the Beef Stroganoff, that they recently offered. These are all homemade/fresh meals that keep me going back for more!
