Circa 1876 at The Convent Hunter Valley

Definitely deserving of the hat. Very relaxed and enjoyable, even in these Covid times.

We had a lovely dinner at Circa 1876 for my husband’s birthday. The zucchini flowers were delicious, along with the steak.
The staff were friendly and informative. The old building is beautiful. Overall a wonderful experience.

Absolutely amazing. Friendly service from Nathan, beautiful venue. Complimentary tasters were provided (sashimi and squid ink gnocchi). We were also surprised with a lovely plate of two macarons and "Happy honeymoon" written in chocolate. A very special dinner for two fairly ordinary diners. We felt fancy.

An amazing space and experience to dine in. Service from Jayde was exceptional. A memorable evening with fantastic food and wine. Highly recommend.

Had nearly an hour wait for food which was a tad disappointing but overall food was amazing
Good to have some more lactose free options for dessert

Just an absolutely beautiful environment to spend time with family and friends over a superb meal

I highly recommend a trip to this culinary experience.

My girlfriends and I went away to Circa 1876 post lifting of COVID-19 lockdown. We went to Circa and had their 3 course menu, the food was absolutely fantastic and at an amazing price. The service was incredible. We had a great time at Circa. I could see why we could only get a booking at 8pm

Food was fantastic, ambience and service were great.

Everything was delicious and cooked really well ,
The little extra food surprises made the price of our meal worth it !
They were very accommodating to my daughters allergies and food requirements.

If your a fussy eater and like on quality produce you will see the value in dining here.

Amazing food and team who remembers us from our annual visits to circa. Thank you for a sensational lunch. We loved every course. Can’t wait to be back again next year

Fine dining in a beautiful location. Excellent food and great service, a wonderful experience.

This remains one of my favourite restaurants in Australia. Everything about it is top draw. Well done Circa 1876

Beautifully served and delicious food, lovely staff. All round great time!

Circa never disappoints and Karen is by far the jewel. It’s our second experience and she goes above and beyond to make it one to remember. Feels like your at home the moment you walk in.

Fantastic as usual!

Amazing food with home made produce and great friendly staff.

Excellent food, very kind staff. One of the best fine dining places in Australia I’ve ever tried. Highly recommended.

The food was absolutely amazing
The best food ever, so much detail had gone into every dish.
Definitely go back

This dinner was the nicest dinner we had in the Hunter Valley! We had the scallops for entre, it was exceptionally cooked and the marinade was beautiful! For dinner i had the lamb and it was the most delicious lamb i think i have ever had! I loved it !! For dessert we ate a beautiful cheesecake! Usually cheesecake isnt my thing but i absolutely loved it!

It was also our 3 year anniversary and they served us a little anniversary dessert which was such a special consideration and made the dinner so much more special!

Great food, great service. The table we had next to the window, was full of flies, large flies and small fruit flies. Had 4 end up in wine glass. Even waitress said despite lots of spray unable to kill them.

Very hard enjoy food when so many flies around table and food.

The food was amazing, and very filling. The table service was fantastic. I will definitely be back!

A great dining out experience, can thoroughly recommend it!

Great good and great service, they were happy to accommodate special food requirements with no notice

Outstanding as always!

Hands down the best meal I’ve had. Everything was perfectly cooked and flavoured! Such a beautiful place as well. I can not fault anything

Amazing food ! The quality of the produce & all the beautiful flavors , freshly baked sour dough & rye & the little fine details & extras such as infused butters , tiny garden vegetables, to the complimentary starters, the explosion of flavors in every bite of every dish wow so impressed by everything thanks to the staff & chef Trent & Karen

Perfect for special occasions.
The food was delicate where needed and robust where appropriate

Specific food allergies meet with creativity and flavour. Meal was art and delicious.
Thankyou

Delicious, locally sourced food and wine. Beautiful restaurant. Our waitress' wine knowledge wasn't very confident which was a shame for the matched wine experience but great service and a special evening!

This was one of the best meals my partner and I have had in a long time. Everything was impeccable and the service on top of it made for a fantastic evening.
I cannot wait for an opportunity to visit this restaurant again and try everything on the menu. The only thing I regret is not getting the 7 course tasting menu!

One of our All time favs! Love this place. Great food, great location.

Absolutely amazing place, second time visited, will definitely coming back! Our special occasions have been made very memorable, thank you CIRCA 1876 😊

We were served by Jordan and she was absolutely amazing. Great knowledge of the history of the place. Will definitely return

Fantastic food and service.

We weren’t overly hungry so the 2-course option was great along with complementary bread, sample plate and pre dessert, was all beautiful.

Much of the food is grown on the property and presented with flair and pride.

Lovely meal with attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended

It was the best meal we have had for a very long time absolutely beautiful will be telling friends to book when in the area

Great experience
Service fantastic
Will definitely return

Absolutely wonderful meal. The tasters provided by the chef were mouth watering, all the food courses were delicious and presentation immaculate. The staff were friendly and helpful. The aspect out the windows was beautiful and ambience in the room with the exposed beams was warm and cosy. Highly recommend

Great Friday afternoon lunch with quality food and service. Will definitely go there again.
