Circa33

Circa33 is located at 3348 SE Belmont.  We had been up and down Belmont about a million times before we finally noticed it and made a note to revisit.  We went in for dinner a few nights ago and found a very warm and bright atmosphere.  The ceilings are covered with an old burlap and really add to the old look they are going for.  The place name is a shout out to 1933, the year that prohibition was abolished.  The drink menu is quite interesting with older style cocktails and mixes show with their date of origin.  I had a tasty "punch" (pictured above) that was like a mojito with fresh nutmeg.  For a beginner, we had the smoked salmon and trout plank that came with crackers and spread, one horseradish and the other herb.  For our main course we had an interesting grilled pork with a creative version of German potato salad, with whole olives.  Definitely worth another visit.
