Fusing contemporary cuisines with traditional Asian dishes, dining duos can indulge in Circle's menu of eclectic eats for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Inventive appetizers including the lightly fried cheesesteak spring rolls (a $4.95 value) kick start lunch and dinner food processors before plowing into two flavorful entrees. Immerse spoons in a sea of green pepper, basil, and kabocha pumpkin curry (an $11.95 value), or let the vegetarian thai burrito's layers of edamame puree and grilled seitan (a $12.95 value) help sate grumbling stomachs before their spiteful F-22 impressions overwhelm all conversation. Wrap up evening with a shareable dessert such as the coconut custard (a $6 value) or a thai donut (a $4 value). A full line of Coke products (a $1.50 value) wash down the fusiony feast, and thai coffee (a $2 value) and coconut juice ($2) provide accompaniment more authentically Asian than a rendition of “The Fried-Rice-Spangled Banner of Thailand.”

Attentive waiters spice up lazy weekend mornings with brunch starters such as the chorizo hash browns sprinkled with Asian seasonings and awaiting a dunk in a kiddie pool of handcrafted spicy ketchup (a $6.95 value). Sample a traditional Asian breakfast with the thai jook, a rice porridge seasoned in ginger and fried garlic (an $8.95 value), or branch out across several continents like a ravenous Ferdinand Magellan with the chorizo eggs benedict, spiced Asian pancakes topped with poached eggs, sausage, and a blanket of curried hollandaise sauce (a $9.95 value). Choose from fruit-filled desserts such as the Floating Island, a harmonious blend of meringue, vanilla crème anglaise, and berry compote (a $7 value), scooped up with dueling spoons or using the traditional method of miniature beach furniture.
