Our first (and likely only) visit to Circo was underwhelming. Not sure what they were thinking taking over the old Tanner’s spot in a strip mall as it lacks any sort of charm or character. The evening started on a high note thanks to our server, Faith, who was genuinely the highlight of the entire experience. She was attentive, warm, and professional and provided exactly the kind of service you hope for at a restaurant aiming for fine-dining status.

The rest, however, fell short. The menu was uninspiring and it took some effort to find an appealing option. The food (the risotto) arrived looking unappetizing, with chunks of beef that seemed more like stew meat, and stringy mushrooms. The flavor and texture was not any better. For the premium prices on the menu, I expected dishes with finesse, depth, and some element of surprise. Instead, everything felt somewhat flat and unremarkable. It wasn’t for lack of effort—the team clearly tried—but the execution simply didn’t meet the expectations set by the image that they market.

As far as ambience, Circo struggles to create anything much beyond the feel of the re-purposed sport bar in a strip mall that it is. There’s little in the way of atmosphere or design (though some effort was made) that transports you or makes the experience feel special. The space itself needs a serious overhaul to get the look that they are going for.

In the end, Faith’s excellent service carried the evening, but the food and overall environment didn’t justify the cost. Circo clearly had high aspirations, but unfortunately it hasn’t yet found an identity that matches.

We decided to head to Circo after a long day at the zoo with some friends. We loved every plate and drink we were served. I have NEVER had better beef tips in MY WHOLE LIFE. Every dish was full of flavor and excellently plated. The drinks were wonderful and the service fantastic! Don’t forget to get dessert!

(Please excuse the few bites taken before pictures were. The phone did not eat first.)

We always have a great meal here! The fried dough with burrata is the best appetizer. Tried the truffle risotto with beef tips for my entree and it was incredible. Our server, Gregory, was super kind!

Absolutely loved everything about this place. The food was wonderful, the bread was some of the best I have ever had and the atmosphere is so chill.

The only thing I didn’t like about it is the location. I want it to be so much closer to central Omaha so I could visit again easier! Coming from Carter Lake area makes for quite the drive.

hello channel
This is a nice upscale eatery/bar & grill. Their menu changes slightly because our intent was to get GF flatbread but it had changed to a Duck flatbread. The atmosphere is very nice and well lite by the bar, but where we sat was too dark for reading the menu and seeing if your steak is cooked correctly. I ordered the Butcher’s steak, came with whipped potatoes & asparagus! I had to use my phone light to verify my steak after the server(Dan) said it was cooked perfectly. But when I looked was well done/very tiny pink middle. Was slightly difficult to cut into, which surprised me, thought it would be top steak for me, it was ok. I would not order that cut again, I would choose a different variety. Actually I’d rather try the salmon! The asparagus was cooked perfectly! They have multiple gluten-free options available which is fantastic! Appearance/taste of the food is upscale. My husband got calamari(not GF) as suggested by Dan and it was the best he’s ever had! Not chewy at all Very fresh for nebraska! He also got the Farfalle & Crab pasta, the pasta(bowtie) was a bit too al dente for his taste but the flavors were amazing. Dessert was Pistachio cake which was scrumptious. The only gluten-free dessert was the Creme Brulee, which was tasty but fresh fruit would have be nice. The monotone flavor needed freshness with it. Over all, this place is fantastic and would definitely visit again! My husband said he would love to sit at the bar, have a beer and eat calamari! Loads of TVs to watch your favorite teams. It’s worth trying!

Pretty good experience! First time here for a date night and it was nice. I was a little nervous it would be too fancy and we wouldn’t fit in but I didn’t think we were too out of place. The atmosphere was great, we had a reservation for 6pm and at that time it wasn’t super packed and it was pretty quiet and relaxing. As the night went on it got busier and a little louder but nothing too crazy. The waitress we had was super nice and welcoming, fast with getting refills.

The food itself was also pretty good! The focaccia and honey ricotta was amazing! My husband didn’t love his calamari but he brought it home to give to his friend who will finish it. I went specifically because I was in the mood for carbonara. If you’ve had the carbonara from Disney, this is what I was craving lol. But that’s the only carbonara I’ve had so I’m not sure how it is at most places to compare it to. At Circo it was pretty good but after about half of it I had it boxed up to eat later. It basically felt like a Mac n cheese with pancetta. It gets pretty one note after awhile and I wish I had something like a side to eat with it for some difference on my palette. My husband enjoyed his steak in lobster sauce with the scallops. He didn’t like the texture of the scallops much but finished them.

I finished the meal off with Creme brulee which was also very good. We will be back but we’ll try something different next time. Overall though a pretty good place to dine!

One thing though that concerned me was I couldn’t tell if my water glass was dirty. After drinking some of it I looked closer at the glass and it looked like stuff was stuck to the inside so I stopped drinking from it.

Our go-to date night place! Great ambience and a great menu. The food is delicious and imaginative. We love that there is something new to try when we go, but our favorites are the ones pictured. The beef cheek ravioli was a bit salty for my taste, but the flavors were wonderful.
