About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Circa 1922 is home to tapas-style dining and wine bar in historic downtown Wilmington. Regionally-themed sharing platters are a popular new addition to the menu allowing guests to sample several tapas offerings. A 12-bottle custom cruvinet keeps our wines by the glass consistently fresh and true to taste or choose from an eclectic international selection of wines by the bottle. After-work tapas specials, weekly sushi specials and a 3-course prix Fixe menu make Circa 1922 a popular downtown destination.

    Love Circa 1922. We always get the same waiter with a very dry sense of humor. The food is delicious!

    Waiter we had was so borderline rude. He's been there forever but ruined our dining experience. The food isn't what it use to be, which is sad because it was definitely a favorite of mine.

    The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. Went for my son's graduation from UNCW with his Master's Degree. Having reservations helped to make sure we would celebrate with style!
